Exactly, the person storing the blocks isn't the one infringing. It's the person distributing the URL which is much harder to trace. Think of the file being a message, each person might store a single letter but that is just a small part of the message and in this case wouldn't be subject to copyright. (Or it would be subject to everyone's copyright that used that letter. Now that would get interesting) See Microsoft Patents Ones, Zeroes http://www.theonion.com/content/node/29130

Was he ever the systems analyst interviewed weekly in The Onion's American Voices feature?

Gravity is a theory for fucks sakes, nobody questions why we stick to the surface of the planet!

Does it count if the Che on my Che t-shirt is wearing a Che t-shirt? http://store.theonion.com/our-dumb-world-tee-che-p-172.html

Of course, there are other problems to be solved. What about overpopulation? Today's death rate in the United States is just shy of 0.9%.

I think the actual death rate is around 100%, give or take statistical error.

So this story is about DARPA going to five blades? That's not news, it's been done before.

My guess is that someone who admires wordy high-falutin' postmodern philosophy text or who was once a subscriber to OMNI magazine got involved with this article.

Probably an intellectual imposture with rectangle glasses and a turtleneck.

The Onion http://feeds.theonion.com/theonion/daily
Most of the humor is usually contained in the headlines, so I seldom read more

What does big government have to do with restrictions on the activities of corporations, or the holding of companies liable for actions which are illegal?

Or do you just like to inject your libertarian rantings wherever possible?

On the bright side, I think I just discovered the political equivalent of the "I don't watch TV" guy.

Try reading this.

You Never watch tv. Congratulations.

Ah yes, the trickle down Reagonimics.

The inverse of this is how a $600 check from the government to all tax payers will revitalize the entire US economy.

Interesting that Blizzard would announce this so close to the release of World of World of Warcraft.

Blizzard would like to congratulate you for spending at least 1 year of man hours or 2920 hours. As a token of appreciation, we have changed your subscription cost to be X percent less expensive and we have sent you a complimentary pair of socks for ... your needs. ...

Congratulations.

Encyclopædia Britannica
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search

  Encyclopædia Britannica
The Encyclopædia Britannica is the only official compilation of the vast scholarly wisdom of Britannica Spears with her latest creation, the Encyclopaedia BrittanicaThe Encyclopædia Britannica is the only official compilation of the vast scholarly wisdom of internationally-renowned scholar Britannica "Britney" Spears. Covering every imaginable topic from Aardvarks to ZZ Top, the Brittanica is respected worldwide both for the substantial academic weight that its prose contains and for the number of encyclopædia salespeople who have broken their backs travelling door-to-door with a complete set of these fine volumes.

Originally, Ms. Spears had set out simply to write a short essay on the Aardvark population of Australia and Austria but somehow she got carried away. In less time than it takes to say Oops, I did it again! the entire 41-volume set was a reality, revolutionising the academic community at the stroke of a pen.

[edit] The Encyclopædia
The first edition of the encyclopædia has sold out long ago; copies are very rare indeed and fetch upwards of 1 million at exclusive Sotheby's auctions among the moneyed and lettered elite of Great Britain.

A second edition, the exclusive Baby One More Time box set is still available but copies are becoming very scarce indeed and dealers in rare books are doing their utmost to lay their hands on a copy before all are gone.

Noted fikiwiddler Andrew Orlowski says that the Briteyannica is much better than Uncyclopedia.

Actually, Microsoft beat you to something even more fundamental:

(hint for the humor-impaired: consider the source)

A vote for one wing or the other of a two-party state is worse than useless.

The Onion and Fox news have both mentioned Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate. Maybe the time will come when a real news outlet will mention third party candidates, instead of just parody outlets like The Onion and Fox?

I can't even find mention of the Green Party's Presidential candidate on their own web site, so in their case I think the mainstream media can be forgiven for ignoring them.

The news today is saying that "John McCain challenged his Democratic rival, Sen. Barack Obama, to a series of 10 joint town hall meetings, starting next week in New York City". I guess he's afraid of Bob Barr?

For me it was when Hasbro was fined for anticompetitive practices, including price-fixing Monopoly.

"Line forms spontaneously at NYC Apple Store" It sounds like a headline on The Onion! I guess we've been at the point where The Onion sounds like real life for some time now.

I respect the work that these people do,

Ya, and I respect Britney Spears' artistic integrity. They're meat puppets. That's like praising a paralegal for correcting the punctuation in a contract that her boss drew up. Sure, someone has to do it, but pretty much anyone could.

I think Guy Who Says 'Previously On Heroes' Wishes He Was Guy Who Says 'Previously On Lost' sums it up nicely.

You do realize what "hacking" is, don't you?

Thats the step that precedes stuffing the body into a large plastic bag, isn't it?
