So there is basically no defense. Who is going to refuse to install software if they read words telling them to?

"Zlob gang" is awesome, though. I'm going to use that for something cool before somebody uses it for their stupid band name.

Last week at a City Council retreat to Zion National Park, I gave a talk on the benefit of more Kibbles'n'Bits consumption. During a secularized version of the catholic mass, an ex-wife (we later found that out) of one of the council members screamed "APACHE!" from behind a distant boulder, and landed an arrow smack through our 1974 vintage bottle of Le Fancheriesse Blush.
