One Last New Episode of Futurama
Ant writes "Futurama's last new episode airs tonight at 7:00 PM on Fox." If you're missing your fix, there's a Futurama website with entirely too much Futurama info.

I suspect that few people ever take pause and consider the implications of our inaction. The Internet is a stupendous sea of information populated by titanic swarms of individuals struggling to achieve common goals. Amongst it's waves lurk recluse scholars, opportunistic venture capitalists, and terrifying predators. Much like the great cycle of life in our oceans, the wheel of time turns out an ever-evolving landscape of change on the Internet. The individual drives this evolution. It is therefore the individual that carries the burden of the Internet's success or failure, it's longevity, it's lifespan. Yet within this world we find ourselves restricted.
There are fables of a whisper of a golden age of freedom, a time long since passed, in which all men communed in the delights of internet equality. This golden age delivered freedom to all that chose to accept it. We lost this freedom long ago.
It is in this absence of liberty that we find ourselves fighting a war on the digital front, gentleman. This conflict is one of ideals; combat between the old and the new. Victory promises a glorious renaissance of Internet communication and a transformation in the way in which we share our ideologies.
We must not allow ourselves to exist under an oppressive regime that would limit our posting of ASCII artwork. Never again shall we tolerate the crime of unjustly censoring our fellow brothers whom seek to be the first to proclaim his or her existence within a thread. No longer shall we allow our brothers to be arbitrarily silenced - allowed to speak a mere ten times each day because of their ideologies. If we do not make a stand now, my friends, we will forever be oppressed.
Together, we can once again release the glorious and enchanting light of righteousness upon this collection of threads. No longer shall we be called troll! Let the call to arms echo across the great digital chasm and sweep through the halls of our enemies! Let us make hell our enemies homes!
This is a war, and we are soldiers.
I think we need another story about how German government and German companies are all abandoning superior products in order to switch to linux... oh and by the way the are happening to use the "suse" distro, just a coincidence right??
And dont gimme any of the IBM shit... we all know IBM has been in cahoots with the Germans since 1940's when the colluded with the Nazis.
Everybody knows how nationalistic the Germans are... looks like we are headed for "The 4th Reich... Sponsored by Suse"
Is it just me or do the posts proclaiming "mirror" actually have no such link to a mirror?
I just heard sad news on the radio - Gregory Hines was found dead in his Los Angeles home this morning. There weren't any more details - it was just a little news blurb. I'm sure the tap dancing community will miss him; even if you didn't like his role on Will and Grace or The Gregory Hines Show, there's no denying his contribution to tap dancing. Truly an icon.
GOOD. I hated "Home Movies"
The current constitution's fine, thanks. And I don't see how putting taxation policy into the constitution's going to help create a more dynamic, accountable-to-the-citizen, democracy. It'll actually do the reverse, it'll give the people one less thing they can control.
So don't complain to me, e-mail the writer of the New Constitution.
OH NOES!!! IT APPEARS YUO DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR DIS HERE PIZZA! WAHT EVER ARE YOU GOING TO DO!?!?
I am Lord Duh, master of the obvious. I shall now regale you with other tales. Things fall down, the sky is blue, water is wet, and you need to pay SCO if you want to run Linux. I hope this clears a few things up.

Heh, as much as I hate to be a "me too" person, that is something I need to rally around.
PS. Me too.
Bye Bye Karma!
