Reported!



This is so incredibly stupid... Refer to the post below this one.

I'm glad I've kicked the habit: a filthy-rich Tauren hunter gets a triple-whammy with new punative tax-brackets, mad-cow satellite tracking, and BATFE enforcement of those scary "military-style assault weapons".

I met one of the guys involved with Able Danger, the Army data mining project that fingered UBL before 9-11. Only then, no one listened to him.

This is the same kinda bag.

I wonder what the impact will be to free speech when bloggers who squawk about losses of freedom are persecuted/prosecuted for their anti-establishment opinions.

It isn't a long stretch to take what I or other bloggers critical of the government say as seditious or treasonous.

Also reminds me of Minority Report and the DC department of PreCrime.

All your gaming are belong to us.

Yes, I have no doubt I'm on multiple lists already. So it goes. To borrow a quote from one of my very favorite shows, Firefly, "I aim to misbehave."

I just think it's silly to try to distill any sort of organized thought patterns from World of Warcraft... Haven't any of these people participated in a raid?

(There's a reason Blizzard decided to halt the development of more 40-man instances... It's insanely difficult to try to get that many gamers to cooperate for any length of time.)

Oops, truncated that comment too early...

Anyway, I do understand why they might look at something like Facebook, but comparing the two is an exercise in futility. I'd say apples and oranges, but it's closer to apples and orangutans.

I don't know, man. That Leeroy Jenkins seems like a pretty nefarious fellow to me...
