And I've seen the frist two seasons! (Or was more or less forced too by someone who bought the dvd's) To me it seems to be from the school of "lets do something weird because its werid and the kids will like it" - I don't see it as creative Science Fiction more like the muppet show on acid.
Since I have a super secret ability to see movies between the time they leave the theater and go to the video store, and since this movie about to go to TV was never in the theaters, I've already seen it.
"There are only two types of people dying in Iraq: children who die because we have imposed harsh restrictions on the nation of Iraq..."
Wow. What indie radio station do you have to be in range of to get that kind of "information"? Or is this another Anonymous Post From Inside Saddam's Bunker?
Unlike you he doesn't live on a farm, paying undue attention to the posterior of selected farm animals. This news is reported by uncensored news outlets and has been factual knowledge for decades. How 'bout some facts?
Why facts? People of your kind don't care about facts at all, you start with the basic assumption that the president can do no wrong and then everything else must be understood from that perception.
Ramsey Clark in his report to UN Security Council on Iraq situation details the war:
U. aircraft flew 110,000 aerial sorties against Iraq, averaging one every 30 seconds, dropping 88,500 tons of explosives, the equivalent of 7 l/2 Hiroshima bombs.
This was by far the most intensive bombardment in history. It killed tens of thousands of people, injuring many more. Medicines and medical supplies were exhausted. It devastated water systems from reservoir, pumping station, pipeline, filtration plant to kitchen faucet as well as urban sewage and sanitation systems nationwide. Food production, processing, storage, distribution, and marketing facilities were widely destroyed. Poultry was nearly wiped out by loss of electricity and lack of grain. Animal herds were decimated. Fertilizer and insecticide plants and storage structures were destroyed. Communications systems, telephone, radio, TV, were shattered. Transportation was badly battered. Vital industries were attacked everywhere. Electric power was knocked out across the nation in the first 24 hours of the assault. Petroleum production, refining, storage and distribution from well to service station were attacked across the nation.
The combined effect of this vast destruction of essential goods, services and industries with the most comprehensive economic sanctions of modern times, first imposed on Hiroshima Day, August 6, 1990, has caused more than a million and a half deaths.
As a tragic illustration total annual deaths of children in Iraq under the age of five from respiratory infection, diarrhea and gastroenteritis and malnutrition are:
During
1989 : 7110 deaths
1991 : 27473
1994 : 52905
1997 : 58845
1998 : 71279
1999(Jan.- Nov.): 73572
And on and on, deseases which they didn't have before are spreading. But I'm sure you'll rationalize it.
I may be a little bit under read when it comes to the law, but here in australia I was under the impression that ignorance is no excuse. In fact I was under the impression that this was the attitude of courts world wide, can't image a court going "ahhh well you didn't know murder was a crime. Off you go then, and don't do it again.".
Except there are differences(and not everything is murder). The postoffice is generally not considered to be guilty if someone sends a bomb (or anthrax) via the mail - so here Ignorance IS not only an excuse, but a just defense. Same with the ISP, depending on what has happened, they probably had know way of knowing what was going on. Of course it they had movies for download on their main page that'd be something else:0)
Slashdot Mirror
Perhaps they are talking about the content not the container.
I mean I know they sold them Anthrax, but didn't know about the GPS euipment ;)
lysing ribozymes

Is that a typo or how its spelled?
Legal Issues Don't Bother Americans - don't you check the news?
When did Salon start this "you have two options to read the rest of this article" crap.
When they started dying.. like Altavista.
that doesn't like farscape?
:)
Nope you are not

Sorry then :)

Or you have a broadband connection
So you are essentially saying America is a dictatorship which does not recognize the basic rules of democracy?

Just thought I'd mention it :)
Ok then, it just sounded a bit odd to me. But if it saves you money then thats obviously fine :)
Hope you don't have a mission critical job.. like flight controller or something :)
I think they call it "lack of humor" ;)
I explain that this is a cell phone, and I pay by the min for incomming and out going calls and as such is it illegal for them to call this number.
You pay for incomming calls??? Why do you live - Ferengistan?
To the XBox.
Didn't you hear? Microsoft don't love'em anymore - and neither do they.
Wow, the State has moderation powers on slashdot ;)
Now that too has gone and XML is the big thing? Whatever next?
They are going to port Corel Office to the Playstation.
What they are really trying to do is find terrorists - remember most are, the State just haven't found them yet!
More generally--"If you want more Known Space stories" was intended as an invitation to daydream, not to violate my copyrights and steal my ideas.
How do you defend laws that allow copyright of certain words strung together?

For a moment i thought you were talking about Star Trek Voyager! I thought you had really low expectations
Exactly WHAT is content in this context? Isn't it all just hack and slash?
As long as i get 50 mod points a day and can use them all on the same post if i like :)

big corporates get the same treatment that your local drug dealer gets its called equality
Sounds more like it should be called incompetence. A drug dealer is a criminal, an ISP probably doesn't even know what's going on.
