Oh, we would have given anything for pet rats.
All the rats in our hole in the ground left after the chemical spill of '82. But did we complain? Nooo! We thanked god for the blessing that gave little brother william three arms, brief though his life was.
After nearly being hit by drivers talking on cell phones, I am really not relishing the idea of these same people surfing the web while driving.
I personally think cellphone driving should be dealt with in a similar manner as drunk driving - who's with me?
Water-Tech has layed off 50% of their employees in preperation for its upcoming merger with Water.com, one of the dozens of tapwater-sales startup companies founded a few years ago.
It is as yet unclear whether these companies have saturated an already low profit-margin market niche.
"Water.com adds significant value to the discriminating consumer of tapwater", said Water.com CEO John Thomas in a recent press release. "Tapwater is the most versatile and useful fluid available on the market, and we are confident that our colourful plastic containers provide the additional value that today's water consumers want."
When asked if all these startups can make money by competing to sell tapwater, Mr. Thomas replied, "Water is not a fad. The market is there."
In a technological society, the distribution of speech becomes synonomous with free speech. To be refused the opportunity to use modern communications technology is no different than being denied free speech.
Or is modern communications technology only supposed to be for the rich and powerful?
And this is also how you'll know if something is real or not. Imagine the joy that one station would feel if it caught another doctoring footage
and the shit storm that would erupt. Checks, balances, redundancy and indepenant sources keep everyone honest (more or less)
Yes, they *would* keep everyone honest, if it were not for the fact that the media have common goals, all being megacorporations. The filtration of what you see on television has been going on for a *very* long time. The danger of being misinformed by the news lies more in what is not reported than in what is outright falsified - for example, the fact that 5000 children are dying every month in Iraq from the sanctions on food and medicine. For example, that the US and Britain have been bombing Iraq almost every day for the last year. Thought the war was over? It hasn't been in the news recently, has it? Since it is not in the media's interest for you to know this, it's Not News(tm).
Likewise, it's Not News(tm) that peaceful demonstrators are getting beat, shot with rubber bullets, tear gassed and pepper sprayed by police merely for excercising their right to peaceful assembly outside of the democratic and republican national conventions. If these events are documented at all, the people being beaten are branded as "anarchists" or "rioters".
Television is controlled by the megacorps, and if you watch it, your world view is being shaped by what they want you to know. So, do yourself a favor: Kill Your TV and load up www.pacifica.org to find out what is really happening.
As for this technology, it merely adds one more weapon to the arsenal of the megacorps, which can and will be used against YOU if you watch television.
Cripes! This thing is sure to register as a false positive for those running the YETI@home client. As if sock monkeys and robin williams weren't enough....
I want my, I want my, I want my DVD I want my, I want my, I want my DVD
So MPAA won't write no code for linux, let me tell ya - that really was dumb If they won't help us to watch our movies, I don't think CSS will last too long!

We'll just have to wait and see.
You could've fooled me.
