#1 I don't care what you say, I actually like the idea of exploding computers when you download illegal MP3s. Should be done for nudy pictures too. Intel should be forced by law to include tiny amounts of C4 embedded in every processor they produce. Microsoft Windows should be forced to black-out any material you shouldn't be seeing on the web. Best of all, before you are allowed to logon to any computer, you should be forced to get Hatch's permission first. That will resolve any controversies about the Internet forever.

#2 No matter how much gold they put in these pols personal bank account, while it can influence voters, it can not sub for a vote. How many young adults vote in your damn state Orrin? Give'em a reason to show up at the poles come next election, idiot. And by the way, maybe we'd respect copyright if you didn't sale the public domain to the industry, moving the period of copyright from 28 years to a hundred. You and your fellow corrupt cronies on both sides of the political divide sold our rights for gold, you old bastards.

#3 I think they prefer good old greenbacks. Gold is heavy and you have to change it before paying the laundry bill. :-)

#6 Of course to do the above would be prohibitively expensive, so I propose that computers should simply be banned altogether. 10 years minimum for being caught with a computer. No parole.
Fred could continue his Rantburg work via a newsletter, with us mailing-in our comments. I see no need for computers.

#9 Boy howdy, is Orrin gonna get an edumacation. He's seriously pissed off folks it's best not to annoy if you like your bank account to stay in one bank, your drivers license to remain valid, etc. etc.

Should be fairly amusing. "Can you explain how all these child molestation convictions got on your record, Senator?"

#10 Orrin Hatch -- Software Pirate & Pornographer?:
If you go to the Explore Utah section of Orrin Hatch's website and click on the myUtahsearch.com button, you get forwarded to a porn page.

Has Hatch been hacked or is a staffer playing a little prank on him? In any case, I don't mind seeing him get embarassed -- again. Let's see how long it takes for Hatch to get that taken off of his page...

#11 I was not joking the other day when I quoted Bugs Bunny:

"Of course you know, this means war!"

It is now coming to pass.

And Lo, the Hackers were awakened from their nightmares, and Hatched a vile plan to place a pox upon those who threaten plague toward the hackers and their kinsmen, and He smiled and was amused by the hullabaloo created by such mere mortals.
