C4st13v4n14 writes "The Pirate Bay finally gets permanent hosting and immunity against foreign copyright holders." No clue how long this latest arrangement will hold out, or if copyright holders will be able to touch them while they are hosted in their new location. I wonder what the deal looked like to get this done. Strange bedfellows indeed.
In north Korea, april fools you!
The Independent reported the exciting discovery of a viagra like substance in East European heather flowers. Garden Centres across the UK are being besieged by men of all ages.....

Jenny, I got you number on the wall.
I'd mod you overrated if I had mod points.
Dear World,
Please make your April Fools more funny. Right now a global nuclear holocaust would raise more chuckles. (Luckily, we're inching closer to that every day, so we haven't got long to wait for some laughs.)
Love,

By summer it was all gone...now shesmovedon. --
Proof by very large bribes. QED.
Yes, by slashdot standards this was a pretty good one.
...and the only reason that they weren't found out yet is that they were (greedy, selfish bastards that they are) leeching only without offering any upload.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
If the only stuff you read is US propoganda, you'd think that Kim Jong Il is some kind of tyrant.
What we don't know here in the west - because our massive corporate overlords don't want us to know it! - is that Kim Jong Il has long been a champion of freedom of expression and fundamnental human rights, not only in the DPRK, but on the world stage. Given his principled belief in freedom of expression (a right which, if universally protected on principle, obviously renders copyright moot in a digital era) it's no surprise that he would intervene to ensure that the Pirate Bay could stay in operation.
Just because the guy's funny looking and kinda weird, we allow this Thomas Jefferson of the far east to be demonized in all of our media. As Nerds, you'd think we could look past his obsession with campy movies, use of hair gel, and love of inter-racial threeways - after all, we're just as quirky, or we wouldn't be on slashdot. It's a real shame how we perpetrate these kinds of stereotypes against this stalwart champion of liberty.
The good and new comes from no quarter where it is looked for, and is always something different from what is expected.
Thanks a lot, Pirate Bay!
And in other news readers notice that (once again) every Slashdot posting on 4/1 is an April Fool's joke. Since April Fool's jokes arn't funny when you see them coming, no one is fooled. Commander Taco continues to laugh.

Can we please have at least one serious story today? If I wanted to read bullshit, I'd read either Fark or Microsoft blogs.
OMG Ponies!!! was awfully cute this year, but today, there are only a couple of actual news stories and the Slashrating gag.
Lame, lame, lame.
President Bush today announced airstrikes against the North Korean Embassy would be conducted over the next week.
Bush bypassed Congressional approval for this action by using RIAA pilots who volunteered for the mission.
House Leader Nancy Pelosi made a statement saying she did not disapprove of this military action because it benefited the media industry in her state - and besides, AIPAC didn't complain either, so she assumed it was all right.
Richard Steven Hack - This sig is TOO GODDAMN SHORT TO DO ANYTHING USEFUL WITH! MORONS!
You do realise that traditionally, Aprils fools jokes have to be played by 12.00 midday, otherwise the joke is on you !
fuckwits.
