... To deal with the BSA: it's the way of the knife. Alternatively, get a picture of their kids playing, superimpose a targeting reticle on their heads and anonymously e-mail them their personnel. Works like charm.
"Paypal joins London Police efforts"... Does that mean that PayPal will entertain in activities like harassing and arresting people for taking pictures, brutally beating innocent bystanders for being in the wrong place, murdering dark-skinned foreigners on the tube and then sell information to Murdoch? Bring on the letter bombs!
Get into a spacesuit, walk to the water tanks and shoot them with a raygun. That will give you enough trust to land on Vesta. Gravity there isn't strong enough to crush a cookie. Here. Was it that hard, loserboy nerd? As soon as we make landfall, I'll shove your head down the last working toilet on the Silver Queen.
Not necessarily harder just very different and requiring the application of different skills.
Not really: piece of machinery doesn't work, you hit it hard until it starts working or ends up broken for good.. Piece of shit human doesn't work, you hit it hard until it starts working or ends up broken for good. What's the difference, apart from the icky residue the latter kind leave around when bashed in with a claw hammer?
Well, if I were I terrorist I'd attack the passengers' queues waiting to get backscattered or patted. I'd even throw in a little fuss just to get myself selected for the dreaded TSA patdown. Then I'd open my jacket and go all ALLAHU AKBAR KABOOM! on them.
It's a shame suicide bombing requires suicide, because it would be barrels o' fun watching the terrified faces of the TSA clowns as they're torn apart by the explosion, pieces of their bodies splattering on the ceiling and raining down, the ordered lines of passengers near by scattered by the shockwave as hundreds and hundreds of ball bearings slice into bodies like a red-hot scythe through wax mannequins.
Then the long, shocked silence. The immobility of it all. The unreality of the carnage. And then the wail of the fatally wounded rise in the air, a little kid shakes her mother's torn, still body ("mommy, wake up, please wake up"), then a high-pitched scream pierces the air and all hell breaks loose.
We'll save the second bomb, incendiary type, for the next time. Just as the rescuers arrive.
You mean the same UK where you can get beaten up and arrested for taking a picture? THAT UK? Seriously, the UK deserves all the terrorist attacks it can get.
Then fight. But be absolutely positive about it. If you're not prepared to kill a man in the name of Internet freedom, stand aside and just watch it being destroyed.
"Pursuit of happiness" is the most dangerous, destructive idea in the history of mankind.
You do understand that "pursuit of happiness" is the 18th century equivalent of "personal empowerment and self-realization", don't you? No, of course you don't, because you're stupid and ignorant and a fecal-masturbatory pedophile loserboy.
Oddly enough, people from Switzerland and the Netherlands (Amsterdam is not a nation, you know) DO relocate to the US in order to find the tech jobs that aren't available home. You don't like to spend 6 years at EPFL or ETHZ to sell TV sets at the mall.
Plus, you could always use a knife, sword, crossbow or something if you didn't want to rely on your bare hands slowly throttling the life out of the depraved fuckers.
I'm quite fond of the old "I have your f**kin' head in a vise" thing.
Draconian laws are for Joe "I don't have the money to afford a lawyer" Public, not for powerful corporations who MAKE the laws. Murdoch is way more powerful than the UK Prime Minister. That will be all. The only "justice" that can touch them is the one that comes from the barrel of the gun, but this is not possible in Old Blighty. I guess the girl's parents will only be able to gnash their teeth and wring their hands as News Corp shits all over their dead daughter's body, rakes in zillions of pounds and nobody can do anything about it.
is there any point to a boycott, if it can be dismissed so easily? should i just forget it, and start pirating?
Boycotts do not work. Not against an adversary of the MAFIAA's financial might. Assassinating their officials, murdering their lawyers, bombing their offices and targeting their assets with wholesale destruction, however, will work. The sweet money your masters pay you ain't so sweet anymore if the price for it is being pumped full of red-hot lead at your workplace or being beheaded in front of your employees.
No, it's not insurgency. Please do not compare those stupid loserboys to people who actually risk their lives doing practical stuff. There is no popular support for those clowns, who will be branded as data thieves and criminals. Once the authorities get one of them, he'll spill everything because they don't have the guts to resist interrogation. One hard stare from a cop and they'll crap their pants.

What a strange world you live in where everything is free.
Would you prefer they dumped the ISS on land...?
Of course. A colony drop would be preferable but a station drop will do.
"The quality you do not possess".
The question of whether a AI program can make people intelligent is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can teach swimming...
- /me
It can: nothing motivates you to learn swimming faster than standing on the sail of a submarine that's going under.
Not a problem. We'll shoot them as soon as they get out of the plane, and then incinerate the bodies so that the infection does not spread.

If your car exploded once a month while driving to or from work, what would you call it?
A Ford Taliban?

Gallifrey used to be a planet, doesn't count as a country. You loserboy nerd.
The real question should be, why does Plait waste time on the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is Slashdot? He should be careful.
