Your honour, at the time of the alleged infringement by IP number 1.2.3.4, both Dave and Boog were present in the computer room.
Boog was in fact chewing a particularly tasty bone obtained from the TGI Fridays Jack Daniels Glazed Ribs consumed earlier than evening by Dave. Therefore the presence of Jack Daniels sauce (exhibit A) found on the keyboard is inadmissible as it cannot be demonstrated who had sauce on their fingers/paws.
Therefore we ask the case be dismissed, as it has been proven yet again that Jack Daniels Rib Glaze does not conclusively identify a person/animal, only a sticky keyboard.
Judge: Case dismissed !!!
Forget "Chewbacca", I'm going with the "TGI Fridays Jack Daniels Glazed Ribs Defense" every time.
So in summary, certain Jewish people even perform atrocities against their own people.
How exactly does that detract from my statements about what the Jews do to the Palestinians ? Just because they also do it to each other doesn't make it "even".
I'm sorry, but I don't see Israelis being evicted and having their homes and land demolished to make way for Palestinian settlements.
I don't see Israelis being treated lower than animals with all the border checks, permits, and now military trials just for not having the "right papers"... which will of course take at least 6 months to "process", and in the mean time husbands / wives are separated from their spouses / siblings and barred entry to their own bloody homeland.
I don't see Israelis having their essential services cut off at a whim, so they have no electricity, water, sanitation etc.
You wonder WHY they hate you ? You can preach tolerance and understanding in your schools, you aren't the ones being ethnically cleansed.
Anyone who eats McDonalds every day is going to be just as much a burden on the health system due to obesity and heart-related problems. Are you suggesting we ban fast-food restaurants also ?
Anyone who drinks could become riddled with liver or kidney problems. Not to mention the third-part burdens on healthcare due to DUI accidents and the like. So let's ban booze too, right ?
Better still, let's just ban EVERYTHING and live in plastic bubbles for the rest of our lives... then you won't need to finance anyone's ailments at all.
Ah, so you have a source of free condoms and STD medications also ? Wow, the world is just so good to you eh ?
Back in the real world however, *everything* costs money. It was you who made ridiculous comparisons between corporate media (costing $X), and do-it-yourself alternatives (all costing $0). When someone calls you on your assertion, you try to use (very poor) humour to wriggle out of your statements.
And as for free sex, even inflatables and lube costs money... I suppose you could just use your hand, but even that needs tissues for the cleanup afterwards.
I'm interested in your offer of free cats, guitars, bassoons, dogs and chicks, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Seriously, every single one of the options you suggested all involve some kind of capital investment. Cats and Dogs need feeding. Musical instruments (good quality ones) are bloody expensive, and you assume that everyone who picks up a guitar will instantly be able to play Stairway to Heaven without any formal training.
And as for picking up chicks for $0... well, no wonder you are still living in Mom's basement.
Viruses have a tendency to mutate. Human body 90% water. All we need is one virus to mutate and start using carbon as a catalyst, and we all become walking bombs.
These two words should never be seen in the same sentence. At least not if you come from one of those backward European countries as opposed to the mighty US of A.
Upgrading to the latest version disables some parts of it every time. The Ubuntu mantra seems to be...
"The following things were working, but are now broken by the latest patch, we hope to have them working AGAIN in about 3 patches from now".
The last time I tried Ubuntu (10.4 if memory serves), it let me go all the way through the installation just for me to realize I hadn't *manually* set the boot partition, even though I'd selected to re-format the disk as part of the installation.
Manually having to set a boot partition is NOT something Granny knows, or even needs to know.
One hour of my time ? Bullshit, it took me 12 hours to get my TV tuner card nominally working i.e. I could watch TV, but trying to record at the same time locked up the video and audio feeds.
It's still not ready for the general public (just the select subset who can, if necessary, drop back into a bash shell to tweak settings on deviant hardware), and saying that it works on more hardware really depends on your interpretation of "works" and "more".
I know a lot of people will argue, seeing as we've been using zeros for a while now, but conventionally, the 21st century started on January 1st, 2001. Therefore the 21.1st century should start on January 1st, 2011.
In my personal case (student loans), I can't, because my income doesn't allow for substantial savings, and won't until I have the degree that allows me to seek professional-level jobs.
Well yes, this was exactly what I meant in my original comment... I didn't start saving until I finished my studies, and even then, my first jobs weren't particularly great salary wise. Essentially I started being able to save at 25, and I'm now 42. That's 17 years of NOT having the latest flashy car (oe even A car most of the time), of NOT having 60" flatscreen TVs, and NOT being able to live in anything more than cheap rented accommodation.
But at 42, I've saved enough to buy my land and house outright (circa 50k USD for the land and 100k USD for the house), and it's bought and paid for, compared to the "I want it now" crowd who'd have got credit 17 years ago, and would still be paying for it 8 years from now.
Sacrifices have to be made of course, but it's perfectly doable, and the satisfaction of knowing it's mine and no bank or credit company ever got their grubby hands on 250% compound interest makes it all worthwhile.
Once upon a time, everyone saved for what they wanted, and credit was a last resort and somewhat shameful. Now if you (especially US) can't have *everything* at 18 years old, it's somehow society's fault. And you wonder why your system is in such a mess.

In defense of Dave and Boog the Dog vs RIAA:

I'm sure glad EULA's aren't enforceable, or I'd owe you 3 dollars already.
He already used one by mistake in summery. Don't give him any more, he'll only squander them.
Is talking on the phone really a single task?
According to Steve Jobs, a definitive "yes" (until version 4 is released anyway).
Posting to slashdot is the only thing that requires some amount of thinking.
It doesn't seem to impede timothy from posting his daily iNonStory ...
A joint comment by me and my dog Boog has just been filed on Slashdot.
"RIAA and MPAA, go fuck yourselves".
Thank you for your time.

Flying a plane with his knees should be entertaining ... (seeing as his hands are both busy)

Oh fuck off with your holier-than-thou attitude.
Everything we do poses some kind of health risk.
Anyone who eats McDonalds every day is going to be just as much a burden on the health system due to obesity and heart-related problems. Are you suggesting we ban fast-food restaurants also ?

So something like decaf coffee then ?
Just because someone enjoys something YOU don't does not make it illogical.
Ah, so you have a source of free condoms and STD medications also ? Wow, the world is just so good to you eh ?

Yes, but also don't forget that we citizens were gifted the right to bare arms for specific reasons
Yes, it does get hot in Florida. Although those old ladies with the big rolls of wrinkly arm fat hanging down can be very disconcerting.
I think dictionary.com probably has an entry for "bear" also.
The third prong is for cutting off, di ba ?
Perhaps they got tired of hating iPalestinians ?
The iPad is not a $5 cellphone or $99 netbook
Nope, it's a $829 gold-plated turd.
Oh noes, you've set her off again ... she's going to be reminding everyone how "unique" she is all bloody day now :-(
Company A doesn't want to use technology developed by company B. Good luck with that.
Umm, not quite. Company A is telling it's users that it cannot use technology developed by Company B.
Whether you hold a monopoly or not, you can still be sued for anti-competitive business practices.
Imagine buying a new car, and then being told you cannot install windshield wipers from any other manufacturer.
But, heck, it's Apple, so this comment will last around 25 milliseconds before being modded into oblivion.
... possibly go wrong.

The deaf didn't have that attitude when movies progressed beyond silent films, did they?
Possibly no one told them ?

I'd love to, but it's not 2011 yet.
