This post is called "Natalie's Restaurant", and it's about Natalie, and the Restaurant, but "Natalie's Restaurant" is not the name of the Restaurant, it's the name of the post, and that's why I named this post "Natalie's Restaurant".
You can get any grits you want at Natalie's Restaurant,
You can get any grits you want at Natalie's Restaurant,
Monitors, just around the back,
Just a half a mile from the railroad track,
And you can get any grits you want at Natalie's Restaurant.
Now, it all started about two posts ago, it's on two posts ago when CmdrTaco and I went up to eat some hot grits at Natalie's restaurant...
...we got up there, found a couple of monitors
in the dumpster behind Natalie's, and we figured it'd be a friendly
gesture for us to take the spare monitors and distribute 'em around
to our other friends at the University that didn't have 21" CRTs,
'cause that's what the Movement was supposed to be all about in the
first place, right?
So we took about half a ton of monitors and stuck 'em in the back of a
VW microbus (with RedHat on an old laptop hooked up to a GPS receiver
and other implements of destruction) and headed away from the grits shop.
We got back to the University and there was a big sign across the dorm
rooms sayin' "Prepaid Recycling Tax Effective As Of Thanksgiving". And
we had never heard of payin' $10 for reusing garbage on Thanksgiving
before, so with tears in our eyes we drove off lookin' for another
place to hand out the free monitors.
We didn't find one. Until we came to a side road, and off the side of
the road there was a classroom in a fifteen-foot trailer, and inside the
trailer was a little pile of 14" monitors. And we decided that a portable
classroom fulla 21" monitors was better than a portable classroom fulla 14"
monitors, and rather than see a buncha kids tryin' to work at 640x480 on 14"
screens, we decided to give 'em ours.
That's what we did, and drove back to Natalie's to post about it on Slashdot,
had a plate o' Thanksgivin' Grits that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and
didn't get up until the next morning... when we got a phone call...
from Officer Obie of the California Computer Recycling Use Fee Commission.
He said "Kid, we found your name on a Post-It Note on the bottom of a
21-inch CRT in a classroom, and the Teachers' Union just wanted to know
if you had any information about it." And I said "Yes Sir, Officer Obie,
I cannot tell a lie... I put that Post-It note on that CRT."
After speakin' to Obie for about 45 minutes on the telephone, we finally
arrived at the truth of the matter and said that we had to go down and
take back the untaxed freebie monitors, and also had to go down and speak
to him at the Environmental Officer's Station. So we got in the RedHat
VW Microbus with the old laptop, GPS navigation system and other implements
of destruction and headed on down towards the Environmental Officer's station.
Now friends, there was only one or two things Obie coulda done at the police
station, and the first was he coulda given us a medal for bein' so brave and
honest on the telephone, which wasn't very likely, and the second was bawlin'
us out and told us never to be seen upgradin' school computers around the
vicinity again, which is what we expected, but when we got to the
environmental officer's station, there was a third possibility that we
hadn't even counted upon, and we was both immediately

Well, at least it's running Linux. Because on dialup, it'd probably take at least 12 months to download the patches to secure XP.
If you've got $21.95/month for dialup, but don't have an extra $2-4/month for DSL from your phone provider (or $20/month from your cable provider), you've got no business spending $333.39 ($69.99 + 12 * 21.95) or "$69.99" for a low-end PC with no monitor.
Use $300 to buy a year's worth of broadband, and with the remaining cash, support your nearest surplus store ($50) or computer recycler ($10), garage sale ($50), or even lighten the load on your apartment's dumpster ($0.00).

Buildable and safely operable by any grad student. A non-fusing version (using only hydrogen) that serves as a proof-of-concept could be built and safely demonstrated by a group of bright, mechanically-inclined, and well-equipped high school student.
If, by "working", you mean "produces more energy than it takes to operate", the Farnsworth Fusor doesn't work. If, however, you mean "produces a neutron flux whose presence can only be explained by fusion", it works just fine.

Spoken like a taxpayer, not a lobbyist.
The $1B will benefit contractors who build the devices and related software, lobbyists who can expand the usage to children (to protect them while they're at the schools of which you speak from criminals not yet incarcerated:), and politicians who can claim they're protecting your children's freedom by being tough on crime.
In other words, don't worry. Some of that money will be spent on schools. Now shut the fuck up and fork over the cash, serf.
Don't be so proud of this technological terror you've constructed... the ability to make two out of your past three movies suck galactic superclusters through buckytubes is insignificant next to the power of the Farce.

CHORUS:
I got Slashdot fever (Slashdot fever!)
It's drivin' my crazy (drivin' me crazy!)
Slashdot fever (Slashdot fever!)
Goin' outa my mind! (goin' outa my mind...)
I've got all the servers down, plus Roblimo's priv-key,
I don't R the F'in A; it's dupe that links to Roland P.
I got Goatse in my back door and through the other side,
'Cuz FreeBSD is dead, and Stephen King just died!
(Chorus)
I'm gonna post to the left and troll to the right,
Say the Dems are too slow, and the 'pubs are outa sight,
(Guitar solo)
Now I got 'em on the run and I'm lookin' for the high score,
Wish the "Funny" counted lots, as I'm just another karma whore,
I'm really cookin' now, moddin' everything in sight,
All my points are gone, I'll metamod tomorrow night,
I got Slashdot fever (Slashdot fever!)
It's drivin' my crazy (drivin' me crazy!)
Slashdot fever (Slashdot fever!)
Goin' outa my mind! (goin' outa my mind...)

> Your girlfriend is inert?
After we 'trew 'er off the cliff, she done stopped movin'. So we left 'er dere. In'ert? Why, she's under six whole feet o' 'ert!
