We need violence and we need tragedy, I’m sorry to inform people of this, but that’s how we got here. We beat the crap out of everybody else all up the evolutionary tree. That’s why we have dominion over this planet now. You don’t wring that out of your DNA in just a couple of generations because people are uncomfortable with where things came from. We are some ethnocentric, murderous motherfuckers.
- Drew Markham, Xatrix Entertainment

“You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.”

The world isn’t run by weapons anymore, or energy, or money. It’s run by little ones and zeros, little bits of data. It’s all just electrons…. There’s a war out there … and it’s not about who’s got the most bullets. It’s about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think, it’s all about information.
- Cosmo, Sneakers

No security technology or procedure is ultimately secure; it’s just a matter of time before l0pht cracks it.
- Dan Frasnelli, 2000

As long as there is a Second Amendment, evil can never conquer us. Tyranny, in any form, can never find footing within a society of law-abiding, armed, ethical people.
- Charlton Heston

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
- Albert Einstein

The new generation of software must be designed from day one to be pirated.

Most censorship is retrospective, it is generally much easier to curtail free speech by punishing those who exercise it afterward, rather than preventing them from doing it in the first place. The only way to prevent this is to remain anonymous.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
– Ronald Reagan
