Honestly, what's with all hyphenated oxymorons? Normally I'm not a Grammar Nazi, but it feels like the left-right side of my grammar center just got a swift kick in the nuts.
They're called compound adjectives and if you actually were a Grammar Nazi, you'd know that.
Elrond: "This peril belongs to all Middle-Earth. They must decide now how to end it."
Elrond: "The time of the Elves is over -- my people are leaving these shores. Who will you look to when we've gone? The Dwarves? They hide in their mountains seeking riches -- they care nothing for the troubles of others."
Gandalf: "It is in Men that we must place our hope."
...I always get punched by my girlfriend, because as Elrond turns back to Gandalf I can never resist voicing for him "One of these races...has...a FUTURE".

When the corporations in question can quite brazenly buy politicians and get laws rushed through Congress specifically to make these charges possible, that's quite enough INDIRECT power to give me the shits.
He was quite upset when his son deleted his entire windows user profile and all the files associated with it -- including his accounting data and documents folders for his home based business-- when he needed more space to store music and picture files on his system.
"He was quite upset when his son borrowed his car and caused multiple accidents -- including the deaths of three pedestrians -- when he needed more speed to have fun while driving."
Seriously, wtf? It's a goddamn computer, not a toy. If you let your son use it and problems resulted, that's not the computer's fault -- it's YOUR FAULT, you retard.
I'd like to see them digitally put cigarettes INTO all the scenes. Of people holding a ciggy now and then. Put nipples poking through the fabric on all the females. Digitally place the twin towers in the city-scape scenes when they go back to old New York...even though they weren't even built. Why not? They're removed from everything else, let's add them in now.
Things like that. Let's do something COOL with the technology.
I enthusiastically recommend this product or service.
a) have some spastic inability to control what keys you press, or
b) are simply ignorant of how to use the Windows key... does not mean it is useless. I couldn't live without it. The first thing I did when I loaded Windows on my Macbook was think "OK, how do I map the Apple key to Windows key functions?"
"Most ridiculous", eh? I would point out that CNN's "Latest News" banner carries links to the following stories, any one of which will make you stupider than reading about a meeting of astronomers
In a week or two this will be revealed to be part of a promotional campaign for an Xbox360 title, and the Slashdot editors will laugh nervously and say "oh, we knew all along! We weren't fooled!"
A friend of mine, a jazz musician, recently released a self-produced album designed to be listened to on Shuffle mode. Each song blends near-seamlessly into the next, regardless of what order they're played in. It's a different album every time it's played.

On behalf of myself and all other Fedora users out there, you sir are a dipshit.
I notice you didn't disagree with him.
Coming soon: the American Deaf Association sues Apple because the Itunes music store doesn't offer deaf-friendly equivalents of all the music content.

In four years MP3 and Vorbis will both be irrelevant, thanks to MPEG-4 AAC.

I think of Debian and K/ubuntu as akin to BSD and OS X. One is just the other with a cool GUI.
At my present workplace, if there's no service for more than 30 minutes everyone in my department ups and leaves.

So SHA-1 is broken. In other news, sky found to be blue.
Come on guys, SHA-1 was broken years ago. That people are now devising attacks is hardly newsworthy.
And noone can argue with them, because--bottom line--Israel has nukes.
This is the lesson that developing nations around the world have learned.
Noone fucks with you once you have nukes.

The album is "Simon Says".
