Death of Internet Predicted: Film at 11
Remik writes "The Register has a piece analyzing several threads of Lawrence Lessig's blog, and concluding that the Internet as we know it is dying. For anyone who reads the majority of YRO posts, Lessig's blog is one of the most important sites on the net." Another submitter summed it up well: 'Lessig is predicting that the days of the Commons of the Internet are over, and that as a result of FCC deregulation, the concentration of digital rights in the hands of just a few large media companies will kill the internet for good. Even former FOX and Vivendi executive Barry Diller has criticised the move.' We joke, but there are large elements of truth to Lessig's dour predictions.
And the resulting offspring will look like fox new's Bill O' Reilly.
Coffee is hot.
Coffee should not give third degree burns.
Original request of the suit was damages. The jury upped it to "One day of revenue from coffee"
If you place a hot cup of coffee between your legs and open the lid, there's no reason at all why McDonald's should be held liable for your stupidity.
I eagerly await the day when all food will be served lukewarm.

I do, in fact, support the "criminalization" of certain things (ie. drug addicts are criminals).
So you also believe that all nicotine based products (cigarettes, etc) and alcohol should be criminalized, right? No really, this is a serious question. I have yet to logically reconcile in my head how people can talk about the evils of "drugs" on one hand, and then binge on them with the other. Oh, they aren't making your drugs illegal! Ok, that explains it all.
I know people who have destroyed their bodies and their lives by buying cartons of cigarettes per week, and I need not even go into the alcohol issues. And before anyone responds in the negative, think about all the deaths and injuries caused by drunk driving.
Note: I'm NOT advocating making all those substances criminal. I'm not advocating anything at all with my post. It's a devil's advocate statement that I'd like to see the "war on drugs" people answer.

So you're scared of hot coffee, eh?
I read the article. I think putting a hot cup of coffee in your lap ain't the best idea.

Wow, this coffee is really hot. I better set it in my crotch to cool down.
