Mattel has a new line of action figures called Computer Warriors(tm). It
turns out that one of the bad guys is called NULL (yes, all caps). To top
it off, NULL is a trademark of Mattel Corp. So I guess we'll all have to
edit our stdio.h files to read:
#define NULL /* trademark of Mattel Corp. :-) */ 0

Your confidence is poorly placed. While MVS and VM are as secure as
IBM knows how to make them collectively, individual installations or
instances are likely no better than instances of Unix. People who do
penetration studies of MVS and VM for a living report that eighty-five
percent will yield privilege to a knowledgeable attacker in hours to days.
Most will yield to a determined attacker in days, and less than one percent
will stand up for weeks.

jfc (John F Carr):
From _The_Stand_, by Stephen King:
That is the curse of the human race. Sociability. What Christ should
have said was "Yea, verily, whenever two or three of you are gathered
together, some other guy is going to get the living shit kicked out of
him." Shall I tell you what sociology teaches us about the human
race? I'll give it to you in a nutshell. Show me a man or a woman
alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in
love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call
"society". Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five
and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent
prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare.
Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made
in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back
home.

rlcarr (Animato):
Welcome to the camp, I guess you all know why we're here.
My name is Tommy, and I became aware this year.
If you want to follow me, you've got to play pinball.
So put in your earplugs, put on your eyeshades
And you know where to put the cork!
Hey you gettin' drunk, so sorry I've got you sussed.
Hey you smoking mother nature, this is a bust.
Hey hung up old mister mormal, don't try to gain my trust.
Cuz you ain't gonna follow me any of those ways,
Although you think you must.
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it.
Never did and never will.
We're not gonna take it,
Gonna break it, gonna shake it,
Let's forget it better still.
Now you can't hear me; your ears are truly sealed.
You can't speak either; your mouth is filled.
You can't see nothing, and pinball completes the scene.
Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to
Your very own machine.
We're not gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it!
Never did and never will.
Don't want no religion, and as far as we can tell
We ain't gonna take you,
Never did and never will.
We're not gonna take you,
We forsake you,
Gonna rape you,
Let's forget you better still!
We forsake you,
Gonna rape you,
Let's forget you better still.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
-- chorus --
Listening to you, I get the music.
Gazing at you, I get the heat.
Following you, I climb the mountain,
I get excitement at your feet!
Right behind you, I see the millions.
On you, I see the glory.
From you, I get opinions.
From you, I get the story.
-- repeat chorus 3 times --
"We're Not Gonna Take It!"
_Tommy (The Rock Opera)_
The Who
1969
[Question: is the "we're not gonna take it" being said to Tommy by
fed up followers, or by the camp to the rest of the world?]
