Learn how to SUE THE FUCK out of ANYONE
2000-01-07 17:16:05
Imagine, if you will, that your computer is an extension of yourself, and that, therefore, any information you can access by computer is, in some way, information that's already yours. This means that, now that www.uslaw.com is out, you know law. Which makes you a lawyer. Well, FUCK YOU, LAWYER.
I'm actually really fond of this place. They've got a bunch of laws, and they've got a sexy chat session where you can talk to a lawyer, and he'll mostly say things like "Thanks for holding" and "I'll be right with you" by a clever automated script, and the rest of the time he gives really guarded advice, but those things aside, they're actually pretty informative.
(I'm using this site to find out more about suing the good people of the world. More on that later.)
Anyway, it's a big commercial web site about law. You want to know law, because that way you can be completely befuddled by how stupid it is. And then you'll stop believing in God. And then you'll commit suicide.
And it will be the complete fault of www.uslaw.com in some weird, nebulous way.

John Dvorak has passed. I’m of mixed emotions. First off I’m more positive about his contribution to the overall technology journalism of the early PC days through the 90s, despite how many things he got wrong. He was a firebrand and commanded attention. (More...)

The Deep Dark Underbelly of the Star Wars Myth, or Ramayana Remembered
It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters. From Indonesia to Thailand to Nepal, videos are available for sale or rent before they're even released in the US and UK due to this nerdy camcorder-clutching bunch. (More...)
