"Free Speech does not give you the right to violate station policy, nor does it give you the right to avoid social norms or insult groups of people with."
In that case, it's not "free" speech.
"It is about time that people are held accountable for what they say, instead of getting away with murder."
You don't seem to know how logic works. As another poster pointed out to you (and you conveniently dodged), atheism simply means "without god." This is as much a "belief system" as not believing in the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, or Harry Potter. By trying to foist your semantics on everyone else, you sound as idiotic as the people who try to claim evolutionary theory is a religion. Tell me, WingedEarth, are you an idiot?
"Atheism is the belief that there is nothing in existence but the material"
in fact, the entire idea and indeed the definition of atheism is diametrically opposed to a belief system. Would you like to continue flaunting your ignorance, or are we done here?
"I don't think that banning unknown future technology can ever be the rational result of such an evaluation."
I'm pretty sure our laws aren't chiseled into granite anymore.
Ordinarily I'd let the smart-assery stand on its own, but for the first time ever I feel the honest need to explain it to someone, because in the past I was fairly confident the recipient would understand what I was talking about. So here goes:
Laws can be re-evaluated and modified or discarded if necessary, or the enforcement arm can just stop enforcing obsolete laws.
The best way to hide microscopic eavesdropping components is inside relatively rare things that stand out against similar but different things, of course.
In unrelated news, army contractors are fucktards.
I hope they don't "take action" against the digital painting I did, which is featured on the front page of my website and incorporates the key. I also hope they don't "take action" against the HDDVD song I wrote here: http://www.myspace.com/stevepordon (I made an arp synth line by converting to binary and using C1 for zeros and C2 for ones). Both of these things are, naturally, original works of art and are clearly protected by the first amendment, DMCA or not.
Fuck you, AACS, and fuck you, MPAA.
Ironically, I wouldn't be so eager to kick the MPAA in the balls if they hadn't claimed under perjury that I was hosting DeCSS about a year after I voluntarily removed it from my site. Oops!
The work of art is original and (c) by me, in this special 2007 edition dedicated to the MPAA and the memory of Jack Valenti. I may make prints available. Stay tuned!

There is a *slight* difference between writing "Java" under your "Programming Languages" section and fabricating Ph.Ds you never earned from schools you never attended.

Just doesn't happen on FF 2.0.3 for Windows.
"Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither. - Benjamin Franklin"
You keep misusing that phrase. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Sorry, anal is a sex offense. Report to your nearest Department of Homeland Security (Myspace Division) office immediately.
"I'm not entirely sure why the -f option is even there"
I'm sure you can see the value in having a "quick glance" method of determining whether a host is dropping packets...
Actually it was sent to an Atlanta Earthlink relay from Mindspring. Either way, the radio station just got lots of free publicity.

Oh, you were being sarcastic. Nevermind.

"You kind of wonder if, next year, the kids might not just pull a similar prank on the teachers the night before the last night"
Next year the kids who were already close to the edge before this incident may simply shoot the teachers.
"There's absolutely no logical reason to believe atheism over theism."
Atheism isn't a belief system. Nice try, though.
Your mom likes "team play."

It floors me that Voyager made it past the pilot. That show sucked.

"You remember the movie 'King Kong'"
Of course. I downloaded the DoD release.

I knew he was Chinese as soon as I finished reading the summary above. Perhaps if you read the summary you'll realize it as well.
"Perhaps they would even roll back the rate increase that went into effect today"
Since the rate increase doesn't go into effect until 5/14, I can only conclude you're from...THE FUTURE!
Do they have flying cars yet, in two weeks?

I'm rooting for Pelosi '07, personally.
"Hey, why are there 1,700 different IPs all registered to 00-DE-AD-BE-EF-00?"
"and how many others have been arrested based on faulty test kits who didn't have the resources to defend themselves."
I don't see how a test kit could successfully raise money or represent itself in court (AFAIK, they can't talk). That's just ludicrous.
And then overlay it onto GTA: San Andreas.
Sweeeeeet.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe discovery is part of small claims court.
