Professor and Student Thwart P2P File Sharing
Digitus1337 writes "Wired has the story. 'A computer science professor and graduate student have been awarded a patent for a method of thwarting illegal file sharing on peer-to-peer networks by flooding the network with bogus files that look like pirated music.' This raises the question of whether or not companies that are already using such techniques are in violation of the new patent. Good news for subscription services?"
now no-one will be able to use this method to defeat thoughtcrime :(
little bitch shit eating motherfuckers

btw, I don't like your name. You shouldn't be advertising an unsafe method of energy production. Alternative sources already exist.
btw, I think you're stupid. Nuclear power is actually safer than any other method known. And I can prove it.
How are you going to prove there is no chance of me getting cancer and dieing from the radiation released from a nuclear plant? Until you can, its just too unsafe (and before you tell me that there is already radiation around me--our bodies have learned to adapt to that, not to nuclear radiation). Their are plenty of alternative technologies that don't release radiation at all. Nuclear power is just too unsafe to use.
You are funny. "Our bodies have learned to adapt to that, not to nuclear radiation."

that says, post humously != post humorously, you do realize that posthumously means after death? As in, a way of retaining even more than AC-level anonymity?
I think I need my humor checked.
Oil? Causes air polution. Air polution can cause cancer as well.
Gas? Releases CO and CO2 gas, heats up the planet.
Solar power? If you don't mind living without pretty much all your electric appliances.
Hydropower? Requires to flood an entire valley (if one happens to be available). Alters the local climate.
Wind power? Same as solar power, plus kills birds.
Nuclear power is the closest thing to clean energy currently available that can provide sufficent energy. Learn to live with it, move to a cave or get an engineering degree and find an alternative.
