EU May Block Music Labels' Download Sites
csmiller writes: "The BBC is reporting that the EU is (according to The Sunday Times) considering blocking music-labels setting up their own download sites, as 'Some politicians fear that the two services, Pressplay and MusicNet, would be anti-competitive and unfairly dominate the market.'" I wonder when the idea of a Neighborhood Cache will catch on -- it looks like large-scale digital trading will always be subject to this kind of interference.
Fuck that. I'd rather post at 0 forever and make the mods waste their points on me than be posting at -1 after the first 10 minutes.
I reckon
Now this I didn't know. Still, it could be fun to have my masqueraded IP banned and block posts from everybody in my office. I can't wait to see the look on their faces.
I like monkeys.
The pet store was selling them for five cents a piece. I thought
this was odd since they were normally a couple
thousand. I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth so I
bought 200 of them. I like monkeys.
I took my 200 monkeys home. I have a big car. I let one of drive.
His name was Sigmund. He was retarded. In
fact, none of them were really bright. They kept punching
themselves in the genitals. I laughed. They punched me
in the genitals. I stopped laughing.
I herded them into my room. They didn't adapt very well to their
new environment. They would screech and hurl
themselves off the couch at high speeds and slam into the wall.
Although humorous at first, the spectacle lost its
novelty halfway into it's third hour.
Two hours later I found out why all the monkeys were so
inexpensive; they all died. No apparent reason. They all
just sort of dropped dead. Kinda like when you buy a goldfish and
it dies five hours later. God damn cheap
monkeys.
I didn't know what to do. There were 200 dead monkeys lying all
over my room; on the bed, in the dresser,
hanging from my bookcase. It looked like I had 200 throw rugs. I
tried to flush one down the toilet. It didn't
work. It got stuck. Then I had one dead, wet monkey and one hundred
ninety-nine dead, dry monkeys.
I tried to pretend that they were just stuffed animals. That worked
for awhile, that is until they began to
decompose. It started to smell real bad.
I had to pee but there was a dead monkey in my toilet and I didn't
want to call a plumber. I was embarrassed.
I tried to slow down the decomposition by freezing them.
Unfortuantely there was only enough room for two at a
time, so I had to change them every 30 seconds. I also had to eat
all the food in the freezer so it didn't go bad.
I tried to burn them, but little did I know that my bed was
flammable. I had to extinguish the fire.
Then I had one dead, wet monkey in my toilet, two dead, frozen
monkeys in my freezer, and one hundred
ninety-seven dead, charred monkeys in a pile on my bed, The odor
wasn't improving.
I became agitated at my inability to dispose of the dead monkeys
and I really had to use the bathroom.
So I went and severely beat one of the monkeys. I felt better.
I tried throwing them away but the garbage man said the city was
not allowed to dispose of charred primates. I
told him I had a wet one. He couldn't take it either. I didn't
bother asking about the frozen ones.
I finally arrived at a solution. I gave them out as Christmas
gifts. My friends didn't quite know what to say. They
pretended to like them, but I could tell they were lying. Ingrates.
So I punched them in the genitals.
I like monkeys.
1890's, surely?

"godless Eurotrash homos"???
I personaly find that extremely offending. You should control what you write on the net an not just spew out shit from your fingers.
There are laws (in the US to I beleve) against insulting people due to their etnicity.
