Why not just take out the color cartridge and then print anything "subversive" in black and white? Let them try getting yellow ink out of a non-existant cartridge.
A webmaster was jailed under PATRIOT because someone had posted bomb making info on his server . Keep in mind that he didn't put the info there, he was basically a web host, and one of his clients was using his account this way. This is a particularly damning case of abuse where "Innocuous objects such as iced tea bottles and a toy car were described as terrorist devices by the FBI and a joint task force of police officers."
I went to the site that you list and after clicking around, came to this:
The HREX website is currently closed down for two reasons: (1) After the events of September 11, 2001, the Federal Government undertook a review of all information on its websites to determine the appropriateness of the information on the websites. The database for the HREX website is currently undergoing a review in light of the events of 9/11 to determine whether all of the information in the database is appropriate.
I don't understand. Why would the post 9/11 government be concerned about the "appropriateness" of citizens having access to this evidence. It only point out that the U.S. government has a history of abusing its' own citizens in order to further a larger agenda. Wait a minute...
When I read your post, at first I laughed. Then realized that you're giving Billy the exact same kind of interpretation work-over that most religionists give the Bible -- scary.
Even if they didn't take the png files straight out of Everaldo's tarballs, they're obviously ripping-off his whole style. Everything right down to the start button and taskbar are just screaming Crystal. Maybe this will finally silence all the "Linux is just a copy of M$" fanboys. It would appear the M$ is now not only copying Mac, but Linux's UI design as well.
Before I'm hastily categorized as just another "liberal", let me say that I'm against abortion, welfare, and affirmative action. However, I'm neither a Democrat nor a Republican and am no fan of Bush or Blair. Your repeated references to "liberals" reveals that you have succumbed to at least some degree of groupthink. I'm willing to bet you consider yourself a "conservative" and therefore you have to stand up against anything remotely categorizable as "liberal" in the defense of your particular group's percieved dominant opinion. I don't really believe in conservatism or liberalism. I think they are largely false idealogies used by the powerful to herd the masses into convenient groups meant to fight amongst each other, thus keeping them distracted from issues of real import. I'd recommend checking out the political compass website. It's not perfect, but it's better than most political scales.
It wouldn't really surprise me if there were more to this than meets the eye. It is all rather convenient for those that need to justify their continued war with Eastasia.
I seem to remember that the UK was about to try to pass some kind of Draconian natinal ID system that was largely expected to be defeated. How much you wanna bet it goes sailing through, now. If this is the case, the timing of these "attacks" seems awfully convenient. Maybe our UK friends can confirm/deny?
Despite some popular misconceptions, the Minuteman Project members weren't going around dishing out there own justice... all they did was stand around looking for illegals, calling the border patrol when they spotted some. They actually left all the arresting, etc. to the Border Patrol.
...what the reaction would be if Microsoft made Windows® start checking to make sure that only thier latest and greatest wireless mouse and keyboard were being used, refusing to boot if not.

I think the GP was saying that they were extremely good at making money fast, not making good software.
...according to the article:
If I'm understanding TFA, breaking this "dog" barrier is an important step down the road to cloning you and I. Things keep getting more interesting.
The most disturbing thing is (as of this posting) that the mods felt your post was more insightful than funny.

Rather than them being silent, maybe you're just not listening.
Here's a repost of some relevant comments I made on this subject several months ago:
Here's a basic list of just a handful of abuses I came up:
And finally, maybe there haven't been as many abuses as there will be once all 2nd legal track the preparations are in place .

Windows - Clean shaven
Linux - Goatee
UNIX - Shoulder-length
Mainframe - Knee length
This sounds a lot like my experience. I've had a Treo for awhile now, and haven't had any problems.

History shows us that the corrupt powers make use of public fear of terrorism as a means of rallying public support for their own purposes.
It wouldn't be the first time the British government has artificially encouraged terrorist attacks on its' own citizenry, creating an environment of fear that benefits a larger agenda.

That's an interesting take on things. It will be interesting to see what kind of evidence pops up once the dust settles.
Do you have any evidence of this? I'd be interested to examine it.

I foresee some corrupt corporation, government, or other power-mad organization creating the slave-race they've always dreamed of -- one that will be too ignorant to rise up and seek freedom and will instead fall down and worship them as gods. Of course they'd probably have to first kill off the existing homo-sapien "peons" that could object to this -- but we've already solved that problem. Only the "god-class" humans -- a rich and powerful elite that would monopolize technology -- could be allowed to exist in this scenario... hmmmm.
We need a BIOS that can boot from the reader. Then you'll be able to boot linux anywhere by giving "the finger".
If your country is in the business of raising children, it's probably not worth dying for.
This is interesting stuff. It looks like *someone* in the GOP administration fancies the like gendered folk, while publicly denouncing such things.
Well, here's a customer :-)

...isn't this still in alpha or beta stage? Give'em a break, already.
