9/11    Weird, it's 911 and no one has started the "where were you 6
        years ago thing."  I'll start:
        \_ My roommates yelled at me to turn the tv on.  I called my friend
           from NYC and told him to wake up and turn on the tv.  He said
           "I'm sleeping.  Tape it for me."
        \_ I arrived at work and was told that the WTC was gone.
        \_ I logged onto Soda immediately to troll emarkp.  Oh wait no I
           didn't.  But that would have been funny!
           \_ I think trolling paolo was more in fashion then.
        \_ We should only do this on 5 year anniversaries. (I was at home,
           then I went to work... pretty much like any other day except
           for all the excitement. National disasters are really entertaining.)
        \_ I had stayed up all night working on a grant presentation for
           Oakland City Council. I got a half-hour's sleep, hit the shower,
           and then my wife came running in to tell me what happened. Needless
           to say, the City Council hearing was cancelled. --erikred
        \_ I was vacationing in Bali. I met another American girl on vacation
           in a bar there. We ended up back at my hotel room at night. I
           thought I was going to get laid. But we spent the whole night
           watching 9/11 coverage on the Asian edition of CNBC instead. Damn
           terrorists.
           \_ Did you make a pass at her anyway, the next day or something?
              \_ No. I thought it would be classeless. Plus, I wasn't really
                 in the mood.
                 \_ "If you don't have sex with me, it means the terrorists
                     have won."
        \_ My wife and I were getting ready to go to work.  Then my dad in Hong
           Kong called me, yelling at me to turn on the TV as if I did
           something wrong.
           \_ You're such a screwup they put it on tv!  Turn on the tv, quick!

5/9     If U.S. doesn't do assissination, then what do you call
        Operation Neptune Spear aka "Mission Kill Bin Laden"?
        \_ I think theoretically the difference is that the goal of one is
           "kill him/her", while the goal of the other is "capture him/her,
           and don't hestitate to shoot with the possibly of killing if he/she

12/4    you know the 1999 ending of ST:DS9 shows the protagonists working
        as terrorists, and all worried about a police state coming for the
        federation.  Funny timing, no?
        \_ At that point in time there was a bit of sympathy people were
           starting to extend to "freedom fighters"; vis a vis all the
           popular support many pro-palestine movements were going on -

        \_ Why not raise tuition? At private universities, students generate
           revenue. Students should not be seen as an expense. UC has
           been a tremendous bargain for most of its existence. It's time
           to raise tuition to match the perceived quality of the

4/6     The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 gives the president the ability to
        "declare a cybersecurity emergency" and shut down or limit Internet
        traffic in any "critical" information network "in the interest of
        national security." The bill does not define a critical information
        network or a cybersecurity emergency. That definition would be left to
        the president.

        \_ They haven't killed as many Vietcongs, Korean commies, and
           Super EVIL Terrorists as America for the past 50 years.
