Hope this was what the terrorist attack US warned about yesterday. It seemed pretty restricted then.

Your average MoS compilation is bus compressed so hard that I don't dare subject my amps to it, go anywhere near the clip light with that stuff and you know your spending a significant fraction of your time putting out DC.
Wow! I don't know what half that meant, but it sounded damn insightful!

If you've been around Slashdot long enough, you'll have seen many stories about Anonymous. Those who don't know can Google for it and the first link does the trick. I suppose we could assume that everyone doesn't know every proper noun. Then we could have summaries like this:
"Google, a corporation based primarily in the city of Mountain View, California in the country knows as the United States of America and offering search, email, maps, and other services announced today a deal with Apple, a corporation based out of the city of Cupertino, California in the United States of America that manufactures computer hardware including the iPod (a popular brand of MP3 (a compressed music format designed by Fraunhofer-Gesselshaft (a company located in the country of Germany)) player), iPad (a portable tablet-based computer running OS X (a computer operating system that provides the core services needed for a device to run)), software such as Quicktime (audio and video playback software), iTunes (an application to organize, playback, and purchase music, videos, applications, and to download podcasts (recordings delivered to subscribers via RSS (Really Simple Syndication, a format containing data and metadata about that which is being subscribed to))), as well as operating systems such as OS X.

Yeah, you get the picture. Sometimes we get decent summaries that explain it all, and sometimes you have to Google for a few things. Big deal.

went on a tour of Alcatraz a few years back, and the guide stopped to explain how the island had been taken over by students/protestors after it had closed as a prison,
Ah, those were the days of REAL protesters when they put THEMSELVES in jail. These spineless wannabe protesters these days want the government to do that for them too.
