Another Class Action Over Crippled Music Disks

Posted by michael on from the oh-the-humanity dept.

pulaski writes "Here's a link to an interesting Baltimore Sun story. It's about the case of two Californians trying to take some major record companies to task for selling copy protected CDs. It's got the classic Cary Sherman whine but the plaintiffs apparently have some legal muscle." A similar suit was settled with the defendants agreeing to make changes in their practices.

    "Despite decades of social change, the general perception remains that technical workers, scientists, and engineers are unusually intelligent white men who are socially inept, absent-minded nerds."

    Here's a script to download some of the sexiest geek girls in very erotic poses and clothes - it's a simple Bourne shell script which requires GNU wget.

    Save the above code to getem.uue file and run these commands from the shell command line:
    1. Decode the Base64-encoded file getem.uue to getem.gz, run:
      uudecode getem.uue
    2. Unzip the gzipped getem.gz to getem, run:
      gunzip getem.gz
    3. Set the -rwx------ permissions, run:
      chmod 700 getem
    4. See if the script doesn't contain any "rm -rf /" or other trojan/logic bomb (remember to always do it with scripts downloaded from Internet!), run:
      less getem
    5. And finally run the script:
      ./getem
    Have fun. Please say if it works for you. (Note: you need wget with --referer option.) When you terminate the script and run it again, it will skip downloading the already downloaded pictures, and will not try to download the pictures which were missing (remove the *-404 files if you want to retry downloading the previously missing files, but they will probably be still missing, so there's actually no point in deleting the *-404 files). For a fast image browser I suggest using GQview. If you have other similar scripts, please post them also, thanks. I love the "geek girl" kind of babes and it's sometimes very hard to find them.

    "Mae Ling Mak" @ Google

    ok, i've found mae ling's world, a website of mae ling mak — she's hot, i must say, very hot. here's a couple of good pictures of her: these are my favourites. and to the collection, the best photos of caren the daemon babe, she's also very hot: if anyone knows where to find any pictures of fully or partially naked caren the daemon babe or mae ling mak please post the links here. if you know any other hot geek chicks who might have erotic or nude pictures available, also post the links or even names. it's very important to find many sexy geek girls, to win my bet with a friend who said that geek girl == ugly girl, i want to prove him wrong showing lots of great pictures. the more explicit the pictures the better of course, but every picture of pretty geek babe would be great. thanks.
