Everyone should switch to Linux. If you don’t think so, this video will change your mind. I’m currently running Linux on my own Beowulf cluster of atomic supermen. Originally posted on ubergeek.tv.
I don’t know if it is only in Illinois or Nationwide, but I’ve been seeing a serious Gestapo-style propaganda campaign. I can’t turn on the TV without being threatened with a ticket if I don’t buckle up. I’m also constantly hearing commercials on the radio to buckle up. Seriously, do the police get a thrill by lording their power over us? Are they really trying to save lives, or just intrude into our lives? Buckling up is a good idea, but I know it’s a good idea, and frankly I’m sick of being reminded. I wouldn’t be surprised if the police start threatening to setup blockades, drag people out of the car if they aren’t wearing a seatbelt, and then send them off to a camp where they have to practice buckling up 15 hours a day.
I appreciate our law enforcement community looking out for us, but this is just absurd. The next thing you know they will be getting search warrants to enter our homes to tell us to brush our teeth.
