Battlebots at a bankers convention

It may not do any good, but there's something to be said for entertainment value.

The aliens, I wonder.... What do they look like?

I wonder if the Bush Administration realizes what its rhetoric sounds like.
I wonder if the Bush Administration cares.

answer: not as long as they can keep getting away with it.

Yes, but at least ninja's take pride in their personal appearance and hygiene.

Unlike pirates, geeks & nerds.

Bad news sounds better coming from cute fuzzy animals.

UAVs are one of the hottest military technologies these days. It's not surprising that the commercial and civilian sector is starting to take a look at how these maturing drones can be used to solve their problems.

..Once everyone is watching everyone else then we'll have no more problems?

Thats great, because I hear that naked people have the most to hide

This is a bold step forward for freedom and democracy.

No longer will we live in fear of a web devoid of political opinion!
 
.. unfortunately bloggers are still required to comply with the biscuit protection act of 2005

Sounds a little too reasonable if you ask me..

Oh. I see, this wasn't proposed by the government.
Lets see more tax credits for relocating heavy industry to the moon.

The upside is unlimited!

The average American simply lacks awareness of the issues - they don't know how vital it is that the Government enact important things like The Biscuit Protection Act of 2005

thats because pirates are filthy.

Its not only sex in video games, I saw a NIPPLE on the TV!!

the CHILDREN are DOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!

Obviously there is a much better career choice.

Choose wisely for maximum income!

Maybe they just havent resorted yet to the foolproof way to protect the music.

Just pander to the stupidity! That's the ticket!

Hey as long as the stupidity includes nudity count me in!

The hep new thing is Extreme Futurism

All the kids are into it.

No, they will only make the source code available to people with DRM enabled chips embedded in their brains.

The best way to protect ideas is to never ever tell anyone about them.

"sorry!"

Now I know what I want to be when I grow up. A Microsoft Millionaire!

Thats probably better (but less fun) than my alternative career goal

That is, are they just the ones you can buy anywhere for a few cents? And why not free as in speech, too? I'd be much happier that way... Well, I live in Canada, so I guess it doesn't matter anyway.

Those were some of the greatest stories, and I have to say that unfortunately, they have shaped the way I deal with computers that are completely hosed. Someone brings me a computer... I don't know why this is so slow! So what do I do? Realize there's some spyware or something, because they use Windows... And then blow everything off the system, write zeroes all over the hard drive, and reinstall from scratch using my custom install disc that produces a "proper" Windows installation, if you can call Windows proper at all. Of course, I have a bit of a soft spot, so I back up their data files first. "Nationwide"? For what values of 'nation'?

Here's the job posting!

Is that leonard Nimoy?

at least they apologized

Once you have a good band name the cash should just come rollin' in.

oh and it might help to be able to play an instrument.

just get these, and then dont think about it.

Well, if they dont win there are always plenty of other options.

robust and bustling economy my ass...

Why not ask someone who doesnt know?

After all, this seems like there will be a 'right' answer to this question, and where's the fun in that?

Pursuing truth?

or ancient astronaut theory?

My impressions of it were that it seemed very big - would have been a lot more impressive had they miniaturised it a bit.

..I dunno, It would be cool smaller, but if you want impressive I think it would be better to go gigantic

What they need is democracy!

Its so simple!

of course wave upon wave of lawsuits will probably help to slow down sharing as well.

hey! what wrong with the Aztec?

that my friend, is a beautiful automobile.

Here is a prediction: If the price for music increases right now for digital distribution, sales will fall and piracy will increase.

no no.. that cant be right. there's this big pot of money called consumers and you just keep on hittin' em and hittin' em like a big ol' pinata and the money keeps pouring out!

uh.. right?

Well hell, there's always high quality corporate rock radio!

Its all part of the strategy of destroying MP3s.
raise the price til no one will buy them. Ta-DA! no more MP3s!

I still think this would be a more permanent solution though:

no more music piracy!

Yeah, we wouldnt want anything to be easy for the music 'consumer'. If only there were a simple solution to music piracy problems.

Why it makes perfect sense.

its all done for your own good! for freedom!

actual freedom may not be exactly as shown. privacy not included.

Wouldn't this also be a sign that monkeys are capable of fairly sophisticated tool use?

No, but Robots are.

I for one welcome our genetic engineering overlords.

now lets get on that woodchuck problem

They should try unleashing a force of angry ninja's to deal with these filthy pirates.

of course then they'd have a ninja infestation to deal with.

is it filthy lucre?

Oh well, as long as its Tasti-Lookin we're gonna be just fine!

Aww.. c'mon whats not to like about the Aztek?

?

looks pretty good by this review.. "Although from the outside, the Aztek looks like an overgrown child's toy, Inside it's very claustrophobic. The driver's seat is fenced in by cup holders, change holders, penholders, and an ashtray the quickly converts into a fifth cup holder should the need arise."

Whats wrong with Corporate Schooling? Think of the positives - no more tax dollars wasted on educating kids, and an unlimited flow of perfect consumers pushing the economy higher and higher and higher!! Whee!

I get dizzy just thinking about it.

I just happen to sell robot insurance, I'm sure I can put together a good deal for you.. Prices vary depending on if you need comprehensive coverage, or are happy being insured only against giant killer robots.

.. Lets not be too harsh on Nike, I mean they just want to spread happy thoughts right? But If you're really concerned about footwear guilt, why not try Bliss Shoes?.. Because Ignorance is Bliss.

Quote: Just like many low cost 'no-brand' shoes, Bliss Shoes are made by brown people in strange dirty countries. But unlike low cost shoes, ours go through a de-guilting process during the label affixing and packing stages.

Please oh please, whatever you do just don't make them like this

Absolutely not.

Its got to be a Delorean. Definately a Delorean. Something with more battery power than the honda Insight

A success story for the freedom geeks! I couldn't believe the original story when I read it.. I mean do we give people the power to remove any and all criticism from the web (or from the search engines, effectively removing it from the web.) What about the number one search result for "Chevy Avalanche Reviews".. That review is definately not positive, its downright negative. Should we ban it if it makes Chevrolet unhappy?

Now I can re-enact this scene

I've always wanted a pet robot, now I can feel like it's really the future.

When the current economy is pretty much the employer's market, the big guys can always impose more restrictions and come up with just about any logics behind it, to squeeze out every ounce of 'productivity' and to cut cost.


Boy.. Tell me about it.
