I know this sounds a bit paranoid (but hey, I am a bit paranoid), but I can see why they aren't big fans of open wireless everywhere. How can they track what you do if you keep using other people's 802.whatever? At least if it were me, I would be annoyed.
I hope that's more of a joke than insightful. I mean, maybe some litigation costs are passed on to customers, but I'd say (oh, here's another (hopefully not) obtuse metaphor) it's more like saying the price the merchandise you stole from a store was included in the gas of your getaway car. Then again...
I think it's ok as long as they didn't read them isn't it? Of course they would have to prove that they didn't read them, since they are already guilty and all. (remember we're all guilty, we just don't know it yet)
Oh it would only want a lock of your hair so that you would really love it.

obviously, this is an issue close to my heart...
You're not by any chance one of those scientists who turned himself into a half man/half mouse after your research approval was turned down are you? Tsk. Happens all too often these days.
I don't know about you guys, but I'll be joining up with the gaians. Lets face it, if we get stuck on a continent with two other factions, I'm going to want to have those mindworms on my side.
Also, humans don't appear to have any innate flocking instinct.
My friend has a theory about birds and that. Basically any bird that did not have the flocking ability was quickly killed for being so damned annoying. You could see how it wouldn't take long for no birds without flocking ability to be left. I figure it could be the same for people. I mean seriously, they have psychic driving don't they? (look for the new jersey part)

Two summers ago I washed windows for this really old guy. The guy had an astroturf backyard. I asked him about it because it was not solid at all in the middle and I didn't feel like being sucked into whatever people trap he had devised. Turns out when he bought the house, it had a pool. He did not want a house with a pool, so he had it filled with gravel. Not only that, but he went into this long explanation about how he didn't want the gravel trucks messing up his landscaping, so he paid to have it projected (?!) somehow over the fence from his driveway. Then the astroturf was the obvious next step I guess. Yeah, so there's your daily OT.
It's been about 2 years since I've seen this, but here at my university they had a building with probably 7-9 "supercomputers" in it, and probably 4 of them were not plugged in. Apparently it costs a lot to maintain them so they just sit until someone wants to buy them or they decompose or something. They also had like a 4x3x20 foot tape drive which was extremely cool to watch. Oh, and a beowulf cluster. Yeah. That was a cool room.

Why differentiate? Both are arguments against guns I'd say.
Hey man, when "they" come through that window, no body is going to wait for you to load your gun.
Hm. I wonder what conclusion they come up with.

Right. Maud the maid huh. Does she by any chance have a peg leg too?
Hah. They're the same thing buddy.

Maybe because there is no vehicle for the energy to dissapate quickly? (vacuum)
wait, I don't get it. A cluster of what?
In soviet russia, pi stores you.
Yeah, then we could subscribe him to all of ralsky's lists. Sweet irony.
Wait, now I'm confused. How many library of congresses is that?
hm. It's good, real good. But can you work terrorists in there somewhere?

Yeah, and then at the end of the movie, the last shot will be one mouse getting away.
oh. ok.
What the hell were you smoking? Or, since I really am curious: Why?
What? Like this?
Yeah, I take my MS bashing very seriously.
