They only flew at night. With the lights off. In stealth mode. Noone knew they were there.

That's why Herman's Hermits survived so long: omniscience.

In reality, noone. But then, if they show they won't pay, who will borrow the US any more? And since they debt keeps growing, the need more. The only way out would be printing more dollars, and the amount needed would lead to hyperinflation.

I'm sorry, as awesome as he is, the lead singer of Herman's Hermits cannot force the US government to pay its debt.

noone is alone in hating software patents except the patent trolls. consumers and even software developers at large companies all hate them, thats why software patents are being eliminated country by country.

I bet the lead singer from Herman's Hermits couldn't care less about software patents.

... against whom? the rebels or the saudis?

Noone with half a brain believes Assad is behind the chemical attack

WTF is it necessary to slander Herman's Hermits?

Peter Noone had a house in Utah?

"Noone is a patent troll."

He's not a troll, he's a Herman's Hermit.

"Noone will take a disaster prophecy seriously..."

What do Herman's Hermits have to do with silicon technology disasters?

Sorry I can't find the link (I have a cold which throws my Google Fu totally off) but I remember one of the label heads talking after the whole "copying from your CD to your iPod is not fair use!" bullshit that he thought the customers should have to go to a pay per use model and IIRC he was quoted as a nickel to 25 cents a song.

The problem is these butt monkeys have gotten spoiled from the 1970s, where all you head was mediums where every play would wear on the music, making sure the customers would have to buy over and over and over again. Of course they aren't bothering to pay the...oh what are they called? Oh yeah artists for those back catalogs (last I heard Cheap trick is still suing over Live at Budokan and Meatloaf IIRC is still having to sue for profits over Bat Out of Hell 1) thanks to Hollywood Accounting but even that isn't enough for these jokers. Instead they will just keep raising prices, running off customers, and then when profits go down they'll trot a little PPT over to congress to get the next Sonny Bono copyright ass rape passed.

Meanwhile the artists and the customers get screwed, because thanks to Clear channel and payola you will find it is damned near impossible to get a non major label act on the radio, and if we customers buy we get screwed, if we don't they scream "Piracy!" and pay our politicians to screw us. For a good example of badly the artists get fucked just read this. Notice how the record label gets 3 million, and the artist gets $4k? Sadly talking to friends in Nashville this is pretty typical across the industry. As you can see their greed knows no bounds.

It's "no one."

Noone is this guy.

Noone is suing anyone.

Well, they could be talking about him.
