i'm so mad i could go in front of that courthouse and pour hot grits down my pants in protest!
Does this make anyone else think of the scene in Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson where the email server at the headquarters of Novus Ordo Seclorum (an encryption company) is being subpoena-ed by the FBI and the whole place gets surrounded by press/lawyers/geeks/police etc., so a van full of hackers draws up and nukes the whole building with an electromagnetic pulse? I think we all know what has to be done...
I was reading about the film that's going to be made of Ender's Game, and they did a quick synopsis of the plot, and they casually gave away the final relevation as if it was an obvious plot point. Maybe in the film it will be, and it'll be given away much earlier, but I really hope not, and considering how powerful it is when you read it and are surprised by it, it was bastardly of them to do it.
