We know these words and use them in sentences.

Yeah...like this:

President Bush is a stupid motherfucker.

I recommend Mozilla (with pop-ups disabled) and AdAware (www.lavasoftusa.com).

Didn't intend to patronize, sorry.

Of course, any middle-schooler knows these words and uses them in sentences. They're like training wheels until you learn how to converse with adults.

Ok, that time I meant to. Fucktard.

I shit you not

F**k.I have MSN 9, could it be a glitch?

Anything with the word "microsoft" in its name is inherently glitchy. Any form of proprietary connectivity will only exacerbate that glitchiness. AOHell is the worst.

Get Mozilla and lay off of the porn sites.

Welcome to the fucking family.

Speaking of mozilla, for the less technically inclined there is now an installer for Firefox(previously called firebird or phoenix).

Back to the thread you fuckin geeks. I have $1306 in my wallet. It's a pretty safe bet some of it was involved in a drug deal somewhere in it's lifetime, especially the $100s. I don't want to be linked to that in a Gumint computer.
Anything can be microwaved in a paper bag.

Up to the size capacity of the microwave.

Also, there is a company that's working on putting RFIDs in bullets.

Probably not the best thing to try to nuke.

Hey Bruce - did you forget it's illegal to alter currency?

It's no big deal, up until big brother decides to "wage a war on *insert some assine idea here*" and to wage that war, they think it's a good idea to make tampering with currency a felony with a 10 year minnimum sentence (per offence)(hell it may be worse than that now, I didn't bother to check).

So your $1600 (assuming 16 100's) nets you (at max) a 160 year stay in your local federal pen.

You go to the bank, get your cash, walk out (beep beep), your cash is logged with all your RFID tags, and now it's linked to you. You nuke it when you get home. RFID's are dead.

You drop $200 at Patty's show club. Ginger takes your two bills to the bank, the bank scans the money and gets nothing. RFID's are dead. Cross reference the serial numbers to the RFID numbers, cross the RFID numbers in the master d-base, to you.

Since big brother is "serious about currency tampering", you get a knock a month later, and the grand jury thinks there is enough evidence to proceed.

Oh, and if this is a big enough deal to big brother, then you get a secret trial. You, the procecution, the judge, and your lawyer are all under a gag order and cannot even discuss the existance of your trial.

This is all worst case (I hope), but it *can* happen.

That could get too complicated to administer.

Brian, that's just not true. Echelon (Google) The Straight Dope (The Straight Dope). Big brother either has, or can develop the technology. OK, I'll give you that it *could* get too complicated, but take a look at the track record.

*edit* added the straight dope link

That's when you use the nuke at Wawa.

Damn it Archer, you're 100% right! (slapping forehead) Auuuugh.

Not at all, the Feds just fuck everybody. You straighten it out, if you can afford it. Then there's the "mistakes", that machines never make. That turns me off to electronic voting.

Sure you can! As long as your purpose is not to make one type of currency look like another. You are perfectly free to write on it, tear it up and tape it back together. Now if you deface it too much, your local store will look at you funny and might not accept it. You can take two quarters, split them in half, and attach the obverse of each back to back making a double headed coin. That might invalidate it from being legal tender, but it won't put you in the slammer.

I remember a friend that used to intentionally pull out the polyester security filament that was imbedded in the bill. Its still legal money! A store has the right to deny it because it has been defaced (if they notice), but a bank would examine it and give you a replacement

Now if you try to cut one corner off each of 4 hundred dollar bills then attach the 4 corners to a dollar bill and try to pass it off as a c-note, then I would say you are bucking for a few years of ass poking at a federal pound me in the ass prision.
