South Park To Be Available Online Free and Legal

garnetlion writes "South Park is coming online, free and legal. My brief research has not indicated if it will use DRM, require some silly Windows-only software or be otherwise substandard. According to a Wired blog article, 'Parker and Stone said they were inspired to start the site when they got 'really sick of having to download our own show illegally all the time. So we gave ourselves a legal alternative.'" In this regard South Park joins fellow Comedy Central notable The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, whose archive was made freely available online late last year.

    The episodes are already online. Not "coming soon", not "to be"... you can see them right now.

    Not "to be", eh? Well I guess that finally answer that question.

    If it's the same orange pen I got, it summed up vista and office 2k7 nicely:
    it looked like a fairly standard retractable ballpoint. It had features that were pretty but pointless (led lights) that were activated using the interface (clicker at the end) that is normally reserved for the pen tip Hide/Unhide function. To Unhide the pen tooltip, you had to turn the barrel (requiring both hands). Making it twice as difficult to use as opposed to it's implied functionality.

    Furthermore, it crapped out on me halfway through the keynote.

    Do you mean "pissed" in the American-English sense or in the British-English sense? Because both seem entirely plausible for a Scot.
