[color=cc9900]Sometimes I feel we should have a permanent link to Slashdot on the main page ^_^

This Michael guy sounds good, if he's still in business. He's made money off idiots and he isn't in jail, so all's well that ends well.[/color]

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I applaud his preying on morons, but sullying the good names of real companies is an unforgivable sin.

He should be taken to Camp Charon and executed like the traitor to the People's Republic he really is.

Death the RMN! Long live Haven!


*shakes his head*

Reading 90 Chapters of Honorverse stuff in a row (with a short sleep and food break) is NOT good for your brain.

Bugger that. Haven is skank. Gimme Manticore any day. :)

Incidentally I'm reading these books too. For those of you with PDAs, I've got a perl script I put together for splitting the books into manageable files in a sane way. That, or I could just make the zip file with the already split text available. :D

Wow, great article on that michael's computer.  I used to manage a couple Mailboxes Etc stores (which are now UPS stores) for almost 6 years and I know the scams some people would try to pull from there.

Yup.

Showed this to a few of my friends. They thought it was amusing, given that my name is Michael.
