    • WARNING! You are under surveillance

28 February 2007

Delayed!

10:09am by rudeboy in category: General

Checked my email this morning and found nice form letter from HP’s Customer Escalation Manager letting me know my laptop would be delayed. Wait… Customer Escalation Manager? What the hell is that crap? Wonder how many meetings it took to come up with the idea of creating a management level post in charge of sending out completely non-informative form emails?

Though they did offer me a $50 gift certificate (well, online coupon code) good at the HP Home & Office online store. Looks like I’ll get a new laptop bag out of it for my trouble.

» Venezuela sends 300 tons of food to Haiti. Bush sends 500 tons of bombs to Iraq. Chavez feeds, Bush kills.

» Build a ‘Mame Brain‘ for under $150.

» The case for net neutrality is pretty clear. Should it fail this is what you have to look forward to.

"How is a military drilled and trained to defend freedom, peace and happiness? This is what Major General O'Ryan has to say of an efficiently trained generation: 'The soldier must be so trained that he becomes a mere automoton; he must be so trained that it will destroy his initiative; he must be so trained that he is turned into a machine. The soldier must be forced into the military noose; he must be jacked up; he must be ruled by his superiors with pistol in hand.' This was not said by a Prussian Junker; not by a German barbarian . . . but by an American major general. And he is right. You cannot conduct war with equals; you cannot have militarism with free born men; you must have slaves, automotons, machines, obedient disciplined creatures, who will move, act, shoot and kill at the command of their superiors. That is preparedness, and nothing else." -Emma Goldman, Preparedness: The Road to Universal Slaughter
