    Better yet, since we already know that it can install programs in some cases, why not have it install a new shell? let your average windows user boot into openbox with some customized key bindings and see what happens. Who knows, some users may even decide they like it and when they're transitioned to linux with fluxbox they might not even notice.

    I believe that Uranium ammunition; while efficacious against dragons, demons, and the like; is proprietary Triax technology. I believe the specific ruling is that no other nation has access to it at all, and certainly not the Coalition States. Perhaps your GM is bending the rules a bit?

    (by the way, doesn't the assault weapon ban being lifted mean that they now have fully automatic assault rifles?)

    Quoth the Wik (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Firearms_Ac t):
    National Firearms Act is an American federal law passed in 1934 that mandates the registration of all Title II weapons - that is, all sound suppressors or 'silencers', all fully-automatic and burst-fire firearms, all rifles with a barrel length less than 16 inches (406 mm) (SBR) and shotguns with a barrel length less than 18 inches (457 mm) (SBS), shoulder fired weapons with an overall length less than 26 inches (660 mm), weapons classified as "Any Other Weapon" (AOW) and weapons classified as "destructive devices" (DD). For weapons with folding, collapsing or telescoping stocks, the overall length is measured with the stock fully extended.

    Which is to say: They're not precisely illegal they just have to be registered, and the registration is neither cheap nor easy to acquire.

    Having paid more attention to your post the second time through, I do like the term "biscuit" for computer criminals, but that might be too glamorous a term, so let's just call them vandals, punks, and "idiots who want to go to federal pound-your-ass prision" :]

  25. Re:Amen! on Would You Hire A Hacker? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why should computer criminals be called "Crackers"? What have they done to deserve their own special descriptor? Nothing constructive. computer criminals should be laeled as criminals with the nearest normally-applying label. If you break into a machine without proper authorization and make off with privae or sensitive data, that probably falls under some existing laws against expionage. same applies to any computer crime. If there is no pre-existing label for the crime, why not? is it something that can only be done with computers? if so then is it actually a crime? and if it is, label it and apply the proper label to those who perpetrate the act.

    Wow that was incoherent of me.
