Big government is what started the problem with telco spying in the first place. As a small government endorser I say sue the f**ckers into oblivion.
Small government types don't like telco monopolies just like they don't like government running the telcos either. Small government types don't like domestic spying (or outside spying except in times of declared war etc.).
Neo-cons might think they're small government but their policies are just as big government, if not more so, than liberal democrats. Neocons just like giant corporate bureaucracies doing the government's dirty work. And they're war-mongers too, but that's beside the point.
That's forgetting that your peers and colleagues will have to deal with any and all problems you've created. Document as best you can simply to help out your buddies.
Being an ass to your boss will make life difficult for those who need to fill your roll. You're not just screwing over your boss, you're also doing in the guy who has to live with the mess you've made.
Have a little empathy and don't be so damn selfish.
I love Slashdot - where else would you be modded informative for telling a metajoke.

There's several times when Alyx in HL2 and Episode 1 makes reference to or mock the fact that Freeman never once speaks. The developers deliberately insert pregnant pauses and the like and then Alyx says something stupid or awkward. Its actually quite (meta)humorous.
With my Dell warranty at work, the guy generally shows up the next morning or that afternoon and fixes it right in front of me. No driving, no BS. Just call the American tech support, talk for a few minutes and then they either overnight a part and I can do it myself or they send the guy out.
No travel involved, other than to the front desk at work. Easy easy easy.
'Bricking' is when you fubar your BIOS upgrade, or touch a hot wire to some random contact on your motherboard. It means the whole thing is totally and utterly up a creek and it can't be rescued at all.
Rendering your system unbootable however is something else entirely. Although you may have screwed up the data on your hard drive to the point of no (or really expensive) recovery the system as a wholeâ"and even the driveâ"are/is still 100% usable with a little bit of work; mostly/all in software.
Does it have strong OpenType and other typographical features? 'Smart' filters? Smart Objects that let you place art from Illustrator (or in the open source case, Inkscape) that you can then fully edit in the other program? Really good camera RAW? Smart sharpen?

It's not just Congress that needs a swift boot in the ass, it's the Executive branch too. No war since (and including) Korea has been declared by Congress --who is constitutionally the only body allowed to make war. For some reason being the "Commander in Chief" has gone to some peoples' heads that they go on little military adventures across the globe to fight whatever godless terror they've found (even if 20 years ago we put that godless terror there...but that's another story).
And that's only on a part of the foreign policy side of things, there's a whole 'nother can of worms you can open on domestic policy where the Executive pokes its little nose.
Oversight though will let the terra-ists win though!

If they didn't compare with telnet and talking to the server directly and reading straight HTML, it's meaningless.

Gentoo is not hard core. Any monkey that can use a command line can do a Stage 1 Gentoo install (I'm proof!). Linux From Scratch is hard core.

Question: did you not detect even the remotest hint of humor the GP's post?
Or have I fell victim to some kind of cruel meta-joke?
Something concerns me though. There's the more pertinent question of your sanity, now that we know what you drive.
Actually it's not really a question. It's more along the lines of "WTF dude!?!?"
Something like that, sure.

Unbootable != bricked.

Almost but not entirely unlike, tea.

The local county or state government and it's taxpayers?
You mean just mount giant rockets on the bottom of Australia and call it a day?
This all sounds like something Douglas Adams could be proud of having written.
