Geeks With Guns

Gun shows are run by and for dreamers. Every dealer who sets up a table seems to think that the people who attend are half-wits who will happily pay 25% more than manufacturer’s suggested retail price for their goods; and all the attendees hold it as an article of faith that the exhibitors are desperate men who have come in the hopes of finally disposing of their stock at 30% less than wholesale cost. ~ read all about Gun Shows Continue Reading ‘A FIELD GUIDE TO GUN SHOWS’

and it isn’t what you might think…

Presidente Fox, HELP!: Will you please order your subordinate, George Bush, to get our borders under control? Bush won’t listen to the American people, he defies the will of 70 to 80% of us, but you have some obvious power over him. Can you help us out here pal?

Maybe order him to hire a few more Border Patrol agents and some equipment so we can patrol the borders? Get him to buy us a few patrol vehicles so we don’t have to drive worn out junk with over 150,000 or 200,000 miles on the odometer?

Maybe even get him to quit enticing millions more of your countrymen to come over here illegally by throwing endless amnesty proposals out there and telling us we shouldn’t be chasing them in the first place because they’re just good-hearted people coming here to take jobs we won’t do?

Maybe get a two-way radio system that actually works? We have a somewhat selfish motive for asking Presidente Fox. You see, at the rate Mr. Bush is cutting our budget, cutting our new hires, cutting our employment rights, depriving us of equipment, demoralizing our workforce with dumb statements, and cutting our pay, we believe that soon these “good hearted illegal aliens” he so desperately wants here may in fact really be doing a job soon that no American will want to do. The job of a Border Patrol agent!

We believe he may really have a pent-up and sincere desire to have the “fox” guarding the henhouse. We need some help here buddy. Please!!! Can you help save our jobs?

On Tuesday morning, lawyers from Hollywood and the technology industry will meet at the U.S. Supreme Court to argue over the fate of peer-to-peer software. But they’ll be spending much of their time talking about the VCR.

At the core of the file-swapping dispute is an interpretation of the 20-year-old decision that made Sony’s Betamax legal to sell in the United States.

The Betamax ruling established that it was possible to record media at home, as long as it was for personal use. It made sure that companies producing recording devices couldn’t be sued, even if some people used them in illegal ways. If Betamax had gone the other way, the explosion in VCRs, rental movies, home DVDs and digital video recorders couldn’t have happened, or would likely have been slower and more expensive.
