probably protection racket
... Task Force?
Reminds me of a Monty Python sketch:
"We can guarantee you that not a single armoured division will get done over for fifteen bob a week."
I wonder if they threatened the guard with harming his tank

If the Running Dogs of Imperialism really go through with the spying charge -- charging a guy who isn't a Merkin citizen, didn't do the journalism / online publishing ("spying") within their territory, isn't himself in the US, then I suppose in the future anybody, anywhere, who has anything to say about them that they dislike will have to worry about being charged with spying against them.
Surprised that I have to point out that, since these are *reciprocating* engines, the total number of strokes is not limited to 2 respectively 4, but rather large multiples of those, such as:
5645386875697852 or even 8769781934538974661478, really depending on how much fuel you can fit in the tank ;-)
... as Mooninites. Should prolly start glueing random stuff to random other stuff just to keep the fuckwits on their toes.
Makes you see pretty quaint activities like "guerilla knitting" in a much more radical light--what would they do if they found such a knit wrapped around a tree or a lamppost? Use a flame-thrower? Nuke it?
Is there 1 single Android Market? Wasn't there talk of how there could be multiple markets, perhaps hosted by carriers or hardware manufacturers?
I've not developed for Android (yet), so I wonder: can you load your freshly developed app locally, or do you have to submit it to google in order to deploy it?
What I'm getting at: I can imagine how a kill switch works, if there is one global set of unique identifiers for apps (one Android Market scenario). But what if there are multiple markets? Who handles the app IDs? What about apps that I might develop myself, but don't intend to publish to the Android Market? Do they get IDs?
I was planning on using Android phones for robotics, but I would want to be sure no google can remove my apps when it feels like it.
"They have no heartbeat and are clinically dead. But they can be reanimated..."
Yeah right. Obviously, they have been called to heaven to fight Satan's army, and that reanimation business is just a trick of the bad guys to remove an irreplaceable general. Don't you guys watch south park?
"In terms of skills SQL is most mentioned followed by C and then C#."
Straight C? not C++? Sounds a bit unlikely. Could that be because C on its own is not a unique character sequence and occurs in many words, such as Computer, Code, and C***?
Kidding aside, since the job portals typically don't let you do regex, I do find it hard to come up with viable searches for C using the portals' search engines that don't return lots of word trash.
Below is the ascii that probably got my facebook account disabled.
Pretty harmless i think
(the comments web-app chews up the stick-figures, but I'm sure you get the idea)

Devout: It is prohibited to depict the prophet and those who do must die!
Infidel: Since your prophet lived long ago, and no-one knows exactly how he looked, is that not strictly speaking a prohibition of labeling the prophet rather than depicting?
D: Your splitting hairs. Amounts to the same thing.
I: Not entirely. If I draw...
D: Gasp!
I: Chill. No need to stress out just yet. If I draw a stick-man like this:
0
-- --
|
_/\_
...and I label it...
D: Watch it!
I: Relax. ...I label it to make sure it doesn't depict your prophet, like so:
0
-- --
|
_/\_ *NOT* who-you-think-it-is
D: Er- alright.
I: Of course, based on the context of our chat, you could be forgiven for thinking I'm just being sneaky with the labeling and the stick-man is really meant to be your prophet.
D: Hey! Prepare to die, infi...
I: But then it's you who's doing the labeling, not me, so you should really be offing yourself instead.
D: Smartass.
I: Thanks.
I posted two images at those "everybody draw ..." [the unmentionable] FB pages, which did not actually depict [the unmentionable].
One was simply an image of a T-shirt that had "The Prophet" written on it. The other was a bitmap of a discourse between a devout and an infidel, which contained some ASCII stick-figures, which were NOT labeled [the unmentionable].
I'll be glad to put the text in a separate comment, so that it can be censored separately, if necessary (don't want to get your office bombed, what would I do all day without the Reg).
So anyways just now after I posted the T-shirt picture my account got disabled. I should probably make the T-shirt and walk around in it in meatspace until someone offs me.
(the T-shirt meme of course is that if you wear it you're not depicting [the unmentionable], but all those randoms who take pictures of you with their mobiles will)
