Red laser or blue laser -- I don't care as long as I could use it some day to zap the fucking jehova's witnesses that keep harassing me every sunday.
They are even worse than spammers! Hell, at least the spammers admit that they're trying to make money. These cultists prey on people's fears - guess what was the topic straight after 9/11 - and make money by ripping off the flock.
And they won't take no for an answer. Do they have a quota to fulfil or something? They come to my door and keep shoving these unsolicited leaflets to me and waste my time talking crap. One of them spouts out a prepared sales talk while the other one just stands there (looking for reactions, I guess). If I am not home, they drop the same leaflets in my mailbox. I've told them every time that "I don't want to see you guys again", but they keep coming back. I wonder if I could sue the slimy bastards for trespassing.

So, how does the goatse.cx make you feel? Does watching it stoned feel any different?
What makes you think that you're allowed to record other people's intellectual property in a digital format which is easily copied without due permissions?
None of the TV capture cards these days come with sufficient digital rights management and given the forthcoming digital copyright legislation, it would be unwise of you to embark on building your own little piracy shop.
When will the RPM based distributions let me update my system by something like "rpm-get upgrade"?!
I mean Debian sucks goat's dick in general usability (at least when compared to Mandrake) but in upgradeability it is in a class of its own. What's holding the RPM guys back?
Breathing life, as frail as insincere
Breathing life, too cold to shed a tear
You want to seem to be as fragile as can be
I want To see the things that I'm supposed to see
I want to know the fear that sets inside Of me
I want to breathe the air, like I was meant to on ordinary days
Goddammit. There's this woman at my workplace. She's damn smart, funny and sexy in a geekish way and we get along more than just fine. We've gone to concerts and movies after work without making much fuss about it. Neither of us never considered those occasions as dates. Just friends going out together. Now, I really feel like asking her out for a "formal" date, but dating a co-worker is probably going to turn out as a total disaster.
Nixon's abrupt suggestion, buried in 500 hours of tapes released Thursday at the National Archives, came after Kissinger laid out a variety of options for stepping up the war effort, such as attacking power plants and docks, in an April 25, 1972, conversation in the Executive Office Building.
``I'd rather use the nuclear bomb,'' Nixon responded.
``That, I think, would just be too much,'' Kissinger replied.
``The nuclear bomb. Does that bother you?'' Nixon asked. ``I just want you to think big.''

We want to destroy all states, and all churches, with their institutions and their laws of religion, politics, jurisprudence, finance, police, universities, economics and society, in order that all these millions of poor, deceived, enslaved, tormented, expolited human beings, delivered from all their official and officious directors and benefactors, associations and individuals, can at last breathe with complete freedom.
We are the natural enemies of those who dream already of the creation of new revolutionary states.
She's a teacher (did some research on her) so she probably learnt to recognize the smell at school. My mom used to be a teacher several years ago and even then the police PR people regularly visited schools in order to "educate" the kids and teachers.
As a part of the lesson they show slides of a hard-core drug addict's pig-sty apartment, autopsy photos of a dead junkie (blackened veins and protruding ribs) and finally they let the audience to smell bits of marijuana/hash and pass around small sealed bags of heroine, crack, cocaine and amphetamine as well as "LSD stamps" so that the kids can better rat on their fellow citizens.
You can bet it was shock to my mom when, after we saw a particularly hideous YAD advertisement on TV, I blurted out that I smoke pot occasionally and it hasn't turned me into a drug-fiend.
I'm not sure antagonizing her even more is a good idea.
I mean she's one of those "active" people who, once they get fixated on an idea, just won't let it go before they have had their way.
Last year she went on an overdrive because people kept leaving the lights (three silly 60 W bulbs!) on in the cellar. Every fucking evening she went down to check the lights and god-forbid if someone had forgotten to switch them off! She then called everyone in the building and informed us bitterly that "Leaving the lights on in the cellar is against the rules of this house! Why are you people ignoring the rules? You all have received a copy.".
Anyway, what I am afraid of is that if I provoke her the way you suggest (and believe me, I would like to do that), she'll figure out who I am working for and keeps bugging the university and the police until they make me take a drug test.
Widespread civil disobeience to the degree that somehow, sometime, they finally take notice.
Civil disobedience hasn't worked for pot and it won't work for music. It doesn't work if enough people are made to believe that it's illegal and that illegal also means immoral.
Most people are willing to turn you in for smoking pot you grew yourself, for instance. Why? Because they have been so thoroughly brainwashed by the society to believe that anyone who talks about drugs in even a remotely rational way must be the Satan himself.
Speaking of which, I almost got burned by my upstairs neighbour last month. I was smoking pot at an open window. The bitch upstairs caught the smell and was soon ringing my doorbell. I pretended I wasn't at home. However, the next morning I ran into her in the hallway and she confronted me by asking if I was a drug addict and threatened to call the police the next time. "We don't need criminals in our house".
Goddamnit. I'm an academic, I work and I've never caused anyone trouble. Criminal my ass.
UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 26 -- The United States today proposed a "global and comprehensive ban" on human cloning and all experimentation involving human embryos. The announcement marked an expansion in the Bush administration's campaign to restrict the uses of human embryos for scientific and medical purposes.
"Human cloning is an enormously troubling development in biotechnology," U.S. delegate Carolyn L. Willson said at a meeting of the U.N.'s Committee on an International Convention Against the Reproductive Cloning of Human Beings

Sigh. Welcome back to the dark ages.
Cloning embryos is a far cry from reproductive cloning of human beings -- but I guess it doesn't matter to the rabid "pro-life" nuts who believe that a cluster of few cells is already a human being.

And just when is 3:00PM EST?
And no, I will not look it up from Google, because it should have been announced for several key time zones including the European time.

I can't see any spirit in her eyes, though. A total turn-off to me.

They have to play nice so that they won't be labelled unamerican like Sorkin who dares to say the truth about GWB.
