    I would go one further, and say that when the police show up to collect the statements, if it was a good shoot, they would give you a toaster. A nice little reward for doing the community a favor.

    Plus, as a deterrent, I can simply just go to Wal-Mart and buy seven or eight toasters and put them on my front porch.

    IIRC, the gear was not counterfeit, but merely not licensed by Cisco. The same factories made X units, Cisco bought X units, everything else made it to the black market, and was considered counterfeit, due to the fake Cisco packaging, etc.

    IOW, people should just shut the fuck up about it, and look to their own back yards, if they so feel the need to spew their righteous indignation.

    I find it a slap in the face of democracy that China is allowed to host the Olympic games. This is a country that spies on its citizens, taps their phone calls, monitors pretty much all of the e-mail and internet activity of its people. They are responsible for the torture and imprisonment of people who have never been given the chance to prove their innocence. They have kidnapped people in foreign lands and delivered them to torture centers. They have consistently meddled in the affairs of foreign governments, to the point of overthrowing democratically elected governments and putting dictators in their place, merely to protect their own interests. Any time something bad is said of them, the person is labeled a foreign sympathizer and attacked publicly. Their people are blinded by unfounded national pride.

    I could go on and on as to why those damn Chinese should never be allowed to host a tea party, let alone the Olympics.

    This is getting old. Nobody in Government wants to say anything against this, as they might just end up on the wrong side of an upset vote. The people don't care as long as the majority doesn't feel disenfranchised. The minority can't do anything, because the majority doesn't care.

    The book business is very, very lucrative, and don't even get started on school books. Find a weird subject on wikipedia (use the "random" feature), then look it up on Amazon. Chances are there's a book about it, regardless of how irrelevant, simple, or plain stupid the subject is.

    I just got a new hobby.

    What they're trying to do is grab as much as possible on the way out. If I were Novell, I would have the court appoint an independent auditor to go in, and inventory everything; The computers, keyboards, mice, chairs, desks, carpeting, the fucking complimentary snacks in the employee lounge fridge. Everything! I would want to know how many staples were left in each stapler, every single pen, post-it notes sitting on the desks, used file folders, paper in the photocopier, and anything else I can think of.

    That's how you play hard-ball while still coming across as the nice guy who just wants to protect your own interests. If they object to how unreasonable it is, you just tell the judge that you wanted it to be thorough, but left it up to the auditors discretion, and have a clause where you pay a bonus for work done in a timely manner. That's the auditor's hush money, and you just debate what timely means afterward.

    Surprised there's no silver-bullet gun utility to go alongside with kill. Or that kill doesn't have a --wooden-stake option.
