Honor student suspended for bringing multitool to school

January 22, 2008 12:28pm

One of the conditions of parole for this kid should be that he isn't allowed within twenty yards of any liquid or gel. Unless it is in containers no larger than three ounces, and stored in a one quart ZiplocĀ® Bag. He's clearly a menace.

It's the G4 Cube all over again. Awesome, but I'm not that wealthy.

(Guatemala) Letter to a Forcibly Disappeared Son

January 9, 2008 12:10pm

It has become more and more difficult for me to be proud of my country ever since I went to Guatemala. The more I learn about US involvement there and elsewhere, the more I want to be a citizen of some other country.

Biashara Phone with Credit Card Scanner

Oh man, I totally invented this when I was in Guatemala. The cell network is better developed and (obviously) easier to connect to than the wired network. It just makes sense to use it for credit card processing.

Lakota Natives Withdraw Treaties with U.S.

December 20, 2007 3:53pm

I made a map that shows roughly what many Lakota consider their territory to be.
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&ll=43.802819,-101.645508&spn=9.687136,20.566406&z=6&om=1&msid=105990635611814430241.000441c00f46c79e6ed2c

I lived on the Standing Rock Reservation for about three months, and many of the people I met hold a deep resentment toward the government for taking the Black Hills. There is a desire among many to pursue this type of independence, but the reservation system has put the people in such a state of poverty and dependence that they have lost hope.

I seriously doubt that the current reservations could survive without support from the feds. If they are going to run a self sustaining country, they'll need to take more land back.

Police ordered to pull over people doing nothing wrong

If I were the cop, I'd keep the giftcards for myself and skip the pulling people over for nothing part.

Apple Must Be Outsourcing Its Customer Service for Christmas

November 24, 2007 9:09am

Apple has call centers in Sacramento, Houston and somewhere in Canada. They have contractor call centers to serve as backup when the volume gets too high. I suspect that they need to do some hiring to keep up with their recent gains in marketshare.

Try calling in the morning, I think they open at 6 AM (Pacific)
