Sounds like CHEZ-106 FM, here in Ottawa, one of the most innovative radio stations ever, until it got taken over by a conglomerate. They fired all their really good DJs and programmers and all they play now is the same tired shit. Anybody in Ottawa remember Brian Murphy?
The ONLY thing that will remotely cure cancer is to get rid of the environmental concerns that are causing it in the first place. Each and every one of us is sucking in carcinogenic dioxins into our body every second of every day. That's just for starters. Meybe if we started treating the causes, not just the symptoms, we might start getting somewhere.
Yesm but with any issue concerning this sort of this, or any other censorship issue, it's far to open to personal interpretation. Can you say "vested interest"?
I know perfectly well it will be the lawyers and legislators. But what are they actually thinking, and why?
This ridiculous piece of kit would die the first time the wearer stepped into a puddle! There are some things that just DON'T require modification with any sort of chip! What's next? Plastic grocery bags fitted with a chip or two? Maybe a garbage can? Get real!
I remember reading about some early satellites that were retrieved using planes. The Discovery series comes to mind...satellite's name, not the TV channel...but I can't remember what the purpose was. This would have been somewhere around 1960 or thereabouts. The Discoveries were the first satellites to make successful reentries.
But penguins most certainly do fly. It's just that the medium they fly in is water, not air. If you have ever seen footage of what penguins look like when they're in the water, it looks very similar to any other bird in the air.
Don't laugh! I, too, had dismissed that as something that would be all-too-obvious, something that anybody might be able to figure out for themselves...until I saw it for myself. I didn't know whether to break up laughing or to freak out on the hapless individual with his missplaced Tim Mug. We solved the problem by "upgrading" his CD drive to a mail-slot type.
Back in 1990 or so, some pork chop driving a Honda CRX drove over swimmer and Olympic gold medalist Victor Davis after a barroom argument, also in Montreal. Davis was killed, and this smug little asshole essentially got off scot-free, as there was some dispute over whether or not it was deliberate...3 am, completely empty road, and he's driving on the sidewalk...you do the math.
I wonder what might have happened had there been a similar black box in that car. Maybe there was, but it certainly didn't come into play during the case. I remember the pic in the paper, (the Gazette again), of this little fat fuck walking out of the courthouse with the most arrogant, nasty little grin on his face. I hope he's able to live with it.

"That's one small step for a man..."
I wonder if anybody will get the reference...
You do realize that Clapton just did a cover of "Cocaine", originally written and performed by JJ Cale.

Right! Everything's a carcinogen. Small wonder the cancer rates have skyrocketed in the past 50 years.

...would have been if the censored bits were revealed by running the document through the spelling and grammar check in Word!
Doesn't this just sound like the title of the latest "Land Before Time" flick, the cartoon series about the dinosaur kids?
Maybe it's the final one in the series.
You did. His last name is spelled "Clarke".
First Fugu Post!
This is exactly what I mean...see my post above. When exactly does something become "custom software"?

I know perfectly well it will be the lawyers and legislators. But what are they actually thinking, and why?
...and who gets to define it?
Can it differentiate between a male face and that of a female? Besides the obvious facial hair thing, what makes the two different anyway?
This century, it's the Internet. 200 (or so) years ago, it was coffeehouses. No matter what the forum, it will always be used to discuss dissention.
Was there ever an Internet app called Big Ethel?
Next thing you know, they'll be raving about the wonders of Archie, Veronica and Gopher!

I can't believe it took this long before somebody made reference to Asterix!
That's only because I left off the second half of that. ...just going through the motions.
