...is there anything you'd do that you wouldn't do right now?

If so, what?

Only felonies? To be honest, I think I could get more use out of misdemeanors. (E.g. parking wherever the hell I felt like it)

Who's Bruce, and how do you know you could take him?

-Bruce

Edit: After Mindfad stole all his money, I would then steal it from him...

You wouldn't need full immunity; you'd need the ability. Once you successfully ovethrew the government, you could just pardon yourself. The real trick is in pulling it off.

Without full immunity, he's screwed if he gets caught . And, of course, he probably would be.

I would delete the code that allows the moderators to lock threads.

But then I would have to run and hide somewhere.

1. Find a web board where there is a 12-year-old kid spamming the board with useless threads, typing in all caps with terrible spelling and way too many smilies, and getting lots of angry replies.

2. Hack into an administrator account on the web board.

3. Make the 12-year-old kid a moderator.

4. Send a PM from the administrator to the kid saying "Here's the ban button (or the karma button if there is one), you can use this when those bad people say mean things to you"

5. Sit back and watch the ensuing carnage.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

Yes, yes they are. That is why they have quality control issues.

I crack myself up sometimes.

I'd kindly ask everyone to leave the fireworks store just before lighting a molotov cocktail and chucking it into the building.

Then I'd sit back (behind a wall of bullet proof glass) and watch the show.

  • Use a taser on the obnoxious girl two cubicles down. Actually, if I did that, I'd probably get a gift from all the other people in the vicinity.
  • String up all spammers
  • Tar and feather the guy who stole my personal information (social security number, account numbers, etc.)
  • Pop a cap in Bikerfox's ass, because I'm in a bad mood.

I would see no need for the full immunity.

Gosh, I can't think of anything I'd do.

The only thing I can think of is stealing money from a bank so that I could use it to help some people (like www.susantorresfund.org ) but that would be stealing from people and it would hurt someone and I wouldn't want to do something to hurt innocent people, you know?

So, I can't think of anything, really.

Laws are in place to protect us from harming others and ourselves so they're kind of good.

Yeah, there's a good one that I could rationalize: Taking the things I want from an Apple Store and not paying for it...however, since I've purchased AppleCare approximately 30 times in the last 10 years for various computers, which is about $9000, I think that I'm justified since I've only used it a handful of times.

I'd lay spike strips for the a-hole ricers who like to bring their bikes up to 30,000 RPM next to my house when I'm trying to sleep. Then I'd skin them and eat their bones!

I always thought that statistically, Apple Care doesn't pay for you, only for Apple.
That's why they offer it. And Murphy's Law is against you anyways.

Applecare is essentially just insurance. If you owned a large number of computers, you'd be silly to get applecare, you're better off self insuring.

With one or two though, the equations are more quantized, so it may be worth your while.
