I quite enjoy seeing deserving obnoxious idiots being taken down a peg or two by the police...
I see it more as drunken chavs being herded. I don't see how these shows are even remotely entertaining when they're such a damning indictment of humanity — by virtue of both their content and existence.
"Okay just three more hurdles, I should be able to stay ahead, just gotta remember this one's ta...Whoa nice rack! I'd like a *TRIPTHUMPSKID* AARRGHH!!"
Falling is bad enough, but doing hurdles with an erection?!
I interpreted "NSA-level shit" to mean that the NSA have access to a technological method of breaking PGP and similar systems, rather than the, er, social engineering attack that is Rubber Hose.
I wouldn't put it past a politician to think it reasonable to, say, factorise the product of two large prime numbers in an order-of-days timescale.
And conversely, no, I wouldn't put it past any politician to think it reasonable to, say, get someone else to get the hosepipe out.
I seriously hope no-one out there is so crazy as to really believe that the NSA has a working kilobit quantum computer.
If you compare the price of OS X with the price of Vista and then compare the volume of each one and what you get for the money you'll quite easily find out that those $129 or whatever isn't enough for the OS.
Bullshit, the price is whatever (1) Apple thinks it sell it for, and (2) someone will pay. By this reasoning Fedora discs should hit retail at around two grand apiece.

Well I'm sure there's something in the alt.* tree for me!

The phrase "bullshit PR exercise" springs to mind.
It's a shame a lot of "law-enforcement officials" do not understand this.

Nasty.

Yes, on this site we obey the Laws of Thermodynamics!

No! Rule number one of arguing with Mac fanboys: Do, it's a laugh!

Do they contain nuts?
Ah. VMS, then.
Are you saying the original didn't take place in NT 4.0?
You really think that there exists a practical attack on PGP-based cryptography?
Are you a politician?
Do they look strange to you?

Yes. Having "played" with LEGO for many, many years, I have yet to encounter a malformed piece or one with burrs or other moulding artifacts.
And I thought the sound of a Lego factory was the jaunty music of plucked strings and xylophones. How my illusions have been shattered.
Yeah, but then the gag kinda loses its edge somewhat.
As we're talking about Texas here, can somebody convert that into a unit its governors will understand — i.e., number of electric chair activations?
No.
I'd say it's more of a euphemism.
Luckily, some of us do know what it means these days — privacy means two very large prime numbers.
Ah, well then, you just keep on rolling them dice, OK?
Well, the "u" and "h" keys are right next to each other...
