  1. Re:10 days? on 13-Year-Old Suspended For Hacking Commits Suicide · · Score: 1

    Damn... suspended? For writing virii? When I was taking "C++ Class" at school last year, the instructor was.. how to put it nicely.. competence-challenged. Much fun was to be had by all. OnGuard was our victim #1. Later, I wrote a fun little network app, and having mock wars of ending tasks on each other's comps was all the rage. That grew old quick, and it was on to sending each other "Notepad messages", and ejecting the admin's comp's CD caddy remotely. Not a day went by that I did not lament the fact of the comps in our school's main office not being networked.

  2. standardization of life, optimization of society on Miracles Of The Next Fifty Years, As Of 1950 · · Score: 1
    "Any marked departure from what Joe Dobson and his fellow citizens wear and eat and how they amuse themselves will arouse comment. ... It is astonishing how easily the great majority of us fall into step with our neighbors. And after all, is the standardization of life to be deplored if we can have a house like Joe Dobson's?"

    Hey, why stop there? Let's Optimize Society Further!

    "The society of the year 2000 finds that it functions more efficiently, and with greater profit yield, if all dangerous thought is eliminated from its citizens. For this purpose, the branch of Joe Dobson's government known as the SS has constructed special camps with "bath houses", as well as incineration facilities, to which it transports, by MagLev train, individuals with non-preapproved thoughts. The compelling threat of execution notwithstanding, it is astonishing how easily the great majority of us fall into step with our neighbors. And after all, is the standardization of life to be deplored if we can have a house like Joe Dobson's?"
