Just had to post this little gem.

Funny!

Also, the fancy menu doesn't work right in some browsers... :-)

After making this little announcement, all I can say is, I hope the Senator has one h*ll of a firewall.

This same "article" was posted last night on this forum and subsequently pulled with the reason being.....

Horse Hockey

[CoolGuyVic]

Sorry. Missed the one last night.

Please continue this good work. The old elder of Salt Lake is looking more like the Palpatine character every day (Lucus, let me know if I owe you any money for mentioning your work.)

So I conclude that the internet Ronin are sharpening their swords with Hatch's LAN reflected in the sides of their baldes.

[Navy Patriot]

baldes=blades, sorry.

The FNC's Bill O'Reilly isn't ready to call it horse hockey

On now......

As the "software manager" for a small company I get migraines interpreting the legalese most folks don't bother to read and try to insure my company would pass a BSA shakedown anytime they might rush in with local law-enforcement and rape our systems (that's their standard approach).
Even most freeware cites penalties for use beyond the contract restrictions, so applications worth money to the big dogs have to be totally legitimate. Hatch is merely trying to work off his thralldom to the BSA's masters: Hollywood, record labels and software companies who wouldn't be as popular as they are now had piracy not spread their work across the planet.
Hatch would be on the side of the law but that law was lobbied over time to protect those interests (riders, addendums and amendments: the Ted Kennedy Arsenal).

This is a celestial PING....for all the LDS readers....maybe someone will reach under the robe and give old Orrin a little tickle....,if you know what I mean.

So when is this stickler for the law going to demand that Ashcroft files charges against Hitlery for assaulting a federal agent, as a Newsmax article reported.

Destroy my computer, and you'll be buying me a new one. One way or another........

This same "article" was posted last night on this forum and subsequently pulled with the reason being.....

Same topic, different article.

I emailed Jim Robinson to ask why he pulled it.

The reason was that the idiot poster titled it "Sen Orin Hatch Suffers Debilitating Stroke?"

It was a legitimate AP article: Hatch Takes Aim at Illegal Downloading

[hole_n_one]

You're right......

it was the bogus title.

[rwfromkansas]

lol....I might call his office tomorrow and ask if they have any comment on this.

[rwfromkansas]

Send this sucker to Drudge

Group Capt. Saaf: Is it really necessary to destroy hundreds of thousands of computers, sir?
Gen Hatch: I can no longer sit back and allow Pirate subversion, and the international Software Pirate conspiricy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids...
