I think, given how quickly this disintegrated into a power struggle over a nonexistant country, maybe we should wait a few years for maturity to catch up before we attempt to start a company. 
Have you forgotten that we have already taken over?
a brief and unfortunate nick in the shining history of anandtechia. rightful leadership has been restored, thanks to hammer's defective army.

gopunk, in your country, are the mods like the ghestapo? (sp?) Or do you have them in some deep dank dungeon? Or, horrors, working tech support?
After a meeting with the representatives from the people of Anandtechia, we have developed a constitution for our land.
gopunk, you are banned from our State and shall not be allowed to enter again. The guards will dispose, erm ...escort you out.
Man, and you think they have trouble interpreting the US's constitution - what'd be like if linuxboy wrote one for his country? I can just see it, in a few hundred years - "so class, er- on page 1,327..."
Do you dare mock the State?
