Obama throwing Wright under the bus would have been morally repugnant
No kidding. Apparently, American politics have devolved to the point where we actually require our politicians to operate under the guidelines of 1984. "Obama should say he has ALWAYS been at war with Wright!"
My guess would be that their 'engineers' have no idea what an RFC is. A long time ago, they used to use donotreply@ourcompany.com, and then they started getting all that pesky 'email' crap, so they had the brilliant idea of switching it to ourcompany@donotreply.com. If you told them about reserved domains, their heads would explode.
Step 1: Align the outer ring with the Dwarven rune shown on the top corner of page 13. Step 2: Align the inner ring with the Elven rune shown on the bottom corner of page 27. Step 3: Goddamnit, it doesn't work.
It might start giving the users the impression that they don't have to let publishers and distributors shit all over them in order in exchange for the privilege of buying content.
Just think of how long we've spent after the destruction of symbols of US capitalism, the World Trade Center Towers. Multiply that by 1000, and you'd have
'Jesus, that's...' 'Yes. Nine hundred and eleven thousand.'
If a nuclear war started, much of America would be destroyed. However, ALL of our enemy's country(s) would be destroyed, for they have no missile defense.
Most of my (pricey - relatively high end) DVD players That's the problem right there. You need to go to Chinatown and buy some brandless (or even better, a SORNY or Magnetbox), cheap-ass DVD player. It won't be region locked, and won't respect a content provider's wishes that you be unable to skip the commercials on their DVD. It will last longer, too.
Somehow, I typed "living" when I meant to type "like". I apologize for the usage of second-person 'you' to stand in for third-person 'they', especially since I started the sentence in third person. That was some lousy writing.
I do think that people should be able to get paid for recordings if you want to, but if you don't want to, you know, go out and do a job every day like everyone else does, maybe you shouldn't complain that you aren't getting paid every week living everyone else is.

For what it's worth, my father-in-law switched from being a McCain supporter to an Obama supporter entirely because of 'the speech'.

Whatever story you have, I can top it: my dad put my Nintendo in the garbage compactor so that my brother and I would stop fighting over it.
Blowing into the microphone works just as well.

Because then, when people reply anyway, you get junk mail at your own servers. Using donotreply.com directs the problem to other people.
Every discussion is framed, grasshopper. You only get to choose the frame.
You get used to it, though. Your brain does the translating. I don't even see the code. All I see is Goliath, carrier, zerg rush...
Don't forget the No Child Left Behind Act, which takes away funding from public schools which show poor performance on standardized tests.
How about the TSR 'Gold Box' D&D games?

I think a better tack would be to note that there are already laws against breaking and entering, robbery, and so forth.
It's OK; you won't be able to see the virtual ticket, either!

Your sig isn't irony. It's poetic justice.

That'll teach em!

Your second interpretation is correct.
"Someone on my staff sent me an Internet" would be been a better line to harp on.
Unfortunately for her, the media levy on 45 RPM iPods will have expired.

Every time 24 goes over the top, you find out that it was just a local maximum.
This isn't always true. For many users, the pain of proprietary file formats is not understood until well after the purchase.
I think he did that all by himself, no pills needed.
And they would be ESPECIALLY happy if someone else were making a shitload of money off of their work, while they themselves were STILL broke!
