'I don't want to be the guy that creates any kind of chilling effect on research,'
That's good, because they need to do some fucking research to come up with an unbreakable copy protection scheme that can't be circumvented by my aunt Ida! By turning off a annoying "feature" of Windows.
There really needs to be some damn accountability for these snake-oil security / antispam / antivirus / antipron sleazbags. "Oh yeah, our magic beans are unbeatable!" Never mind that some of the basic tenets of information theory proves our claims are impossible! Our customers are ignorant rubes anyway!
Because teh editurs wouldn't dare pull a duplicate story after already annoying their paying customers, now would they? (That'd just annoy the oblivious subscribers that had posted under teh dupe story!!!)
Why the fuck is our personal income tax code so goddamned complicated that it requires joe sixpack to hire a voodoo tax preparer and buy some buggy, DRM-crippled computer program?!!!
We should just abolish income tax completely, and switch completely over to a scheme of deficit spending tied with government manipulation of interest rates.
SCO overlooked (or didn't care) that not all the world is so idiotically litigious as Americorp.
Kudos, Austrailia, for stepping up and doing what the US SEC should have done from the first filing! Stuff like that leads one to speculate whether the system that allows such foolish shennanigans is irretrievably corrupt or just not diligent enough.
It's a reference to Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
From here (google cache):
"In book 3, at the flying party, Arthur meets an actor who won an award. In the British version, the award was for "The Most Gratuitous Use of the Word 'Fuck' in a Serious Screenplay". In the American edition, the word 'fuck' was replaced with 'Belgium', and about half a page was added explaining why Belgium was such a horribly taboo word everywhere except Earth. There are a few other differences too, mostly revolving around the difference between the American and British billion. "

Goddamit, when I was a kid, Lucky Charms only had three shapes, and two of them were rocks!And we liked it like that!!!
I'd be suspicious of the employee who didn't have the odd bit of pr0n floating around! I mean, if they're not jacking off to pr0n, what sort of dastardlyness are they up to?!!!
I've never seen this part before. Hey, Travis, whatcha doin' with that gun, Travis? Oh no...no, no, Travis, put down that gun. No, no, no, he's your buddy, he's your Yeller! No, no, THE END! THE END!
Okay, what kind of a sick, doggy snuff film is this?
"Alexander is a friend of Vice President Al Gore Jnr, their relationship dating back to 1983 when Gore was in Alexander's Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) course.
NLP "presented to selected general officers and senior executive service members" a set of techniques to modify behaviour patterns. Among the first generals to take the course was the then Lieutenant General Maxwell Thurman, who later went on to receive his fourth star and become Vice-Chief of Staff of the Army and Commander Southern Command. Among other senior participants were Tom Downey and Major General Stubblebine, former Director of the Army Intelligence Security Command.
"In 1983, the Jedi master provided an image and a name for the Jedi Project." Jedi Project's aim was to seek and "construct teachable models of behavioural/physical excellence using unconventional means." According to Alexander, the Jedi Project was to be a follow-up to Neuro-Linguistic Programming skills. By using the influence of friends such as Major General Stubblebine, who was then head of the US Army Intelligence and Security Command, he managed to fund Jedi. In reality the concept was old hat, re-christened by Alexander. The original idea, which was to show how "human will-power and human concentration affect performance more than any other single factor" using NLP skills, was the brainchild of three independent people; Fritz Erikson, a Gestalt therapist, Virginia Satir, a family therapist, and Erick Erickson, a hypnotist.

"It is just remarkably difficult to get things into space!"
Well, maybe when NASA's involved.
NASA's trying to protect their own turf by claiming space launches have to be difficult and expensive. Come one people, it's not like they're trying to write bug-free software. This is merely rocket science.

Goddamit, I'm just trying to make a buck here, since I automated our system administration and put myself outta a job!!!
Jury nullifcation isn't the same as a loophole.
A loophole is a technically valid interpretation of the law.
Jury nullification is just ignoring an inconvienent law.
We should just abolish income tax completely, and switch completely over to a scheme of deficit spending tied with government manipulation of interest rates.
Confusion as to that matter is why they fucked up in the first place!

Belgium! (European readers may be excused for not getting the joke...)
I've got news for you, he didn't do much coding at Atari, either!
Quantum physics isn't that bizarre. It's just that the everyday world is so mundane.
Dude, just flip the switch in the trunk and your fuel pump's back online in 30 seconds!
I don't get your point. That's a completely acceptable procedure.
