yep, if an suv crashes into a wall its toast because of the design

Your SUV proly just ain't big enough - Try the Avalanche instead!

Its Huge-riffic!

I'm not a lawyer (IANAL)(AFAIK), but I'm counting on it .
This UCITA thing is gonna make me rich!

You people always getting worked up over little things like 'military waste dumps' and 'poisoned drinking water' - What don't kill you a slow painful death can only make you stronger..

Personaly though I don't dig Monsanto, I prefer geneto fudes

Oh come on you guys this was funnier then hell. I read this over here I laughed my ass off when I read it.

Not to mention 64k should be enough for anybody.. But hey, in a world where the automobiles keep getting bigger and bigger, why not the software.. I guess there's still some people out there that don't have 'issues' to work through.

They have prototype buses running fuel cells - They look a bit like hunchback buses, but they don't reek of diesel! Seems like good timing, perhaps we can ween ourselves off the internal combustion engine without resorting to huge battery packs

And hell, why not? If I was trying to sell a product I'd buy me a few reviewers.. By the way, if the Honda Corp is listening- Send me some cash and I'll change that to a positive review..

Well, as long as we're trolling for hits I might as well see if I can slashdot my server as well. PopeAlien.Comics is a half-assed weakly comic completely unrelated to the Pope, Aliens, or indeed even this discussion topic. I like to get drunk on the weekend and give half-assed advice to strangers.

Please.. visit in an orderly fashion, one at a time. I don't think the server can handle anything more. There. I've promoted the site, done my geek duty. Can I go home now?

... the comics debate exhibits an intensity unmatched in other arenas. McCloud quickly published a strong rebuttal to Groth's review, while Groth is considering another essay on the subject and just about every comics artist, online and offline, is more than ready to jump into the fray.

aren't the people who run these big software companies geeks? I mean they had to be started by some technical person

So what defines a typo? Is this going to cause major problems for Cmdr Taco? What if I go domain shopping drunk? Is a site like monsantos a typo or a parody? Am I going to get busted because PopeAlien.com could be construed to be a typo of Pepsi.com?.. This is just silly.

I look forward to the days when audio devices have no audio output for 'protection'.

Customer: "I'd like to return this walkman"
Salesperson: "Is it broken?"
Customer: "well, theres nowhere to plug the headphones in"
Salesperson: "oh.. They just clip on the back, like this"
Customer: "yeah.. I tried that, but I couldn't hear anything.. Isn't there supposed to be a headphone jack or something?"
Salesperson: "Oh, No sir.. Pirates use headphone jacks to steal the audio signal.. This walkman is secured against intellectual property theft.."

Oh well, until then there's always FM radio

christ, your web comic is fucking terrible. maybe you should get some fake fan sites going for it.

No no, you misunderstand - That website *is* a fake. It's sponsored by Jesus Chrysler Auto Dealers in sunny downtown SanAntonio Texas, although to keep controversy to a minimum I'm not aloud to tell you that..

Don't forget some of my favorites:
Penny Arcade
The Parking Lot is Full
Pope Alien

And many others that just don't pop into mind now.

Hmm.. Well if I can get someone to pay me for a service or product that they feel is important in their life, whose fault is that - The customer, the seller, or 'society'..

I dont think there is a direct link from technology to consumption/leased life, other than technology used to drive the consumptive desire that has always been there..

I for one just sold a depeeled banana online (seriously) from my website, so I must say I'm feeling pretty good about capitalism.. For every doubt there is a product -god bless the market economy.
-

Based on the obvious double standard shown in the Peacefire bait and switch experiment - how can someone determine if their own websites have been blocked by these products, without using the products?

I know PopeAlien.com has been placed on a List of potentially offensive webcomics based on the domain name.. (funny 'cause it's so innoffensive) How can I tell if filters are blocking any of my sites? -especially with 'closed list' filters like Mattels?

-

Try BigPanda.net for a shifting list of almost all independent web-comics.. and if you want to customize a page to view some of your favorites try Mycomix.Toonscape.com.. -They have permission from a lot of online cartoonists (independent) to post strips.. including PopeAlien.Comics
-

-Agreed.. (are we completely off-topic yet?).. this is not such a good thing(tm).. I am a bit flabbergasted that they could claim the domain-name infringed on their identity.. it has nothing whatsoever to do with them, and is essentially nonsensical.. I can't see how they have a legal leg to stand on. -I was simply glad (after reading your communication) to see some sort of conciliation from the CM folk.. You can probably see the hesitation in my post (i.e -solved? and 'allowed')- I dont think that the ChunkyMunky folk should give in to this agreement, mainly due to the terms"This does not include using the name Chunky Monkey or chunkymunky or any other version of the name in any commercial or marketing manner, such as tee shirts or any other product."
So they cant print up shirts and give them away promotionally? The whole thing is ridiculous.. I'm just waiting for someone to claim Trademark rights for PopeAlien.com... I'm sure common sense will prevail.
-

Hmm.. I bet even more people could be offended by the innoffensive PopeAlien.com if it was a .god domain..

Get moving ICANN!

and what about case- sensitivity? will .GOD have to be in all caps?
-

Well.. As long as we're talkin about web-comics, I might as well plug PopeAlien.Comics..

I know I for one read more web-comics than paper-comics, and I'm wondering if that goes for others as well.. There's quite a few good ones out there (I like sinfest).. How about you?
-

My Comic is also a piece of crap pokey ripoff! Go Pokey!..
-

And here's something about a six dollar realtime system to pirate all the Rock n' Roll you want..
-

I know that this has been gone over and over.. But how can a EULA in an EXE be binding? Using an unzip program is hardly "cracking".. This sounds like one of those nice items thrown into the UCITA.. Agree to the terms.. THEN we'll show you the terms that you are agreeing to.
-

Each "open source business plan" is free for the taking as long as your first $5 million in profit is split with Mirsky. By reading this paragraph, you automatically agree to these terms.

I like this. Simple, to the point. No difficult legalese to scroll through. No tricky clauses hidden three pages in "by clicking OK, you automaticaly grant the company access to your internal organs"

By reading this posting you automatically agree to visit PopeAlien.Com and spread peanut butter in your hair.

What a coincidence!
I just finished mapping the entire human genome as well.. about a week ago.. I did it by copying web-pages about the genome and running them through the askjesus site.
I hadn't got around to letting anyone know yet, because I've been busy mowing the lawn, but I will defend my patents with great zeal!
-And they were suprised to hear doubletwists claim of completion.. Just wait till they hear mine!
-

Hey!
The Atari Portfolio is not obsolete! Thats serving my web site right now.

Oh. Ok.. thats BS. I only wish it was doing something other than sitting on my shelf. Any one want a used Portfolio? I've got the smart parallel port adapter and two 64k memory cards.. Its very cool..

Sites promoting gun use are available, including Colt,Browning and the National Rifle Association. But prominent gun safety organizations are blocked, including the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, Safer Guns Now and the Million Mom March.

I'm glad to see that someone is looking after our children.. Just keep em away from information about sex, chess and PopeAliens..

(this is why I LOVE closed source filter software.. Why wouldnt a large corporation have your best interest at heart.)

Wow.. I'm going to start relying on Jeeves to answer my advice column..
That'll make my job easier.. Hooray for technology!
