But most of these suits never go to court. If people could afford to defend themselves, and make the thing go to court, it might not be profitable for the RIAA - in fact the RIAA might start losing. Problem is, they're suing for an amount just small enough that it's cheaper to settle than go to court. Clever, they are.
Just good, old-fashioned extortion. Almost protection money. This is getting out of hand.
They seem to understand the Second Amendment pretty well... The most infuriating bumper sticker I've ever seen said "The Second Amendment: America's First Freedom."
No, that would be the First article of the Bill of Rights, i.e. the First Amendment.
Monk is also based on a lot of classic detective fiction, especially Holmes. Many of the characters, themes and plotlines are similar to those in the Holmes stories.
Makes it much more entertaining than CSI, IMO. Character and story take priority over fake techno-speakery.

"Makin' Movies, Sellin' Songs on iTunes 'Round the World!"
If I bought the item, why do they need to continue to advertise to me?
They're not advertising to you. They're advertising to all of your friends, relatives, pets, and anyone else who walks by.
As for the install, I'd rather accidentally do an upgrade than accidentally do a clean install anyway.
the FM radio is a good idea
I like to use my music player on airplanes.
Airlines don't allow devices with radio tuners on airplanes.
There, a real reason to leave out the bloody radio. Besides, I haven't heard anything good on the radio in years (exaggeration - but not by much).
Imagine getting a little power charge every time you press a key or open your phone or laptop.
That'll teach you to press a key or open your phone or laptop.
In January, the a European scientist warned residents of the far north to basically stay out of the sun.
In January, residents of the far north have no choice but to stay out of the sun.
No wonder no one took him seriously.
This is all very confusing. Someone please tell me, how many Libraries of Congress is that?
DVDs are great - AoTC with a little bit of chapter-skip editing to get rid of the Hayden/Natalie scenes results in a damn enjoyable movie.
Has anyone done this via compter and distributed it, a la "The Phantom Edit"?
People don't usually make the same mistake twice -- they make it three times, four time, five times...
Quite timely.
I, for one, welcome our new evil cyborg-monkey overlords. And the obligatory responses on /. that follow.
"This robot arm smells like burning Rhesus Monkey!"
"Really? Well, when you're around it all day I guess you stop noticing."
Santa left me presents of methane once too. I think the cookies were OK, but I guess the milk had soured.
In Australia, some call it bush bashing.
... oh, never mind.
In Soviet Australia, bush bashes
It was working in Lynx the other day, but they seem to have broken it since then.
And the power supply it needs outputs 1.21 Gigawatts.

The selective ignorance is astonishing.
compared to other modern applations
And which applation did they write this in? Whose spellchecker actually works?
tits that print money
So, green ink in the left one and black in the right?
Built-in eraser nubbins in case a mistake is printed.
...if they're really after you.
the Americans have brought us the internet

Al Gore? I didn't know you posted on
I nearly typed 'vulvanism', but that's a different story.
Especially when you really meant "volcanism." Magmatic eruptions are volcanism. "Live long and prosper" is a Vulcanism.

Sounds like she needs some consoling. And I think I know just the man for the job.
You still got her number?
