A couple years ago, some punk kid crawled into my car through the open sun-roof and stole a case full of CDs. It had at least 24 CDs in it. Each containing approximately 12 songs? Does that mean I could have sued him for 23.28 million? Damn!
In all honesty, he did get caught and worked it off, and I did eventually receive a check for about $100.00. The RIAA needs to piss off with these ridiculous claims.
[queue Songsmith] Bye, bye miss American songwriter Drove the kids down to BestBuy so they wouldn't cry My girls and boys will be singing all niiiight Singing this will be the day music died this will be the day music died [/Songsmith]
I seriously think my ears are bleeding. Please make it stop!
The dancing wasn't that bad. The crafting in general was pretty damn cool. Especially being able to name your final products.
I had a wookie bartender that was freaking awesome. I had my own cantina called the Rancor Room that was pretty damn cool, with a live rancor outside, and droids serving drinks inside. And you have to have entertainment in a cantina!
I even held a couple parties there for people. That aspect of it was done pretty well. The rest was crap.
San Francisco is sooooo far away from New York. Wouldn't it be nice if we could fly there!?
Pish Posh! That'll never happen. You best start walking now, rather than spend your valuable time trying to figure out how to fly! You'll waste your life away and never make it. Then you'll be sorry. At least walking you'll get there some day!
Today 10,000 people vote for Ron Paul, tomorrow maybe 100,000 vote for Ventura. If we never start it'll never happen.
I'm curious how all the presumably non-Americans talking about being safer because of this expect shrapnel from a bomb to somehow avoid you because you're not carrying some kind of American RFID passport? There some kind of new smart bomb I don't know about as well? Did I miss a previous article on that?;-) That would actually be pretty damn cool.
Note: I despise our current foreign policy, so please don't lump me in with morons that think we're doing good just because I asked a question that might lead you to believe I'm a fan of it.
What's even more ludicrous is that they could go after everyone else who had the same shitty Britney Spears song available for download and get $9250.00 from them while saying the exact same thing... that they're not able to tell who accessed what. That they could potentially do that for every copy out there is absolutely amazing.
Of course, classic is a relative term. However, when Dragon's Lair and classic are used in the same sentence we're not talking about the era of Tetris, Super Mario, and Sonic the Hedgehog. We're talking about Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Qix.:-)
Such changes are necessary because new technology is "encouraging large-scale criminal enterprises to get involved in intellectual-property theft," Gonzales said, adding that proceeds from the illicit businesses are used, "quite frankly, to fund terrorism activities."
You people pirating those Brittney Spears CDs are un-patriotic, un-American, treasonous, terrorist lovers, and you should all be lined up and shot!
Seriously though, it's ridiculous that 'W' and his cronies now just stamp everything as "fighting terrorism" and expect everyone to just let it pass. Man, they're assholes!

Here's an idea. How bout a fookin' "price fixing, greedy ass, CDs should be no more than $5 by now!" badge?
How many cigarettes does a Slack 11 CD cost in the "big house" anyway?
Uh, it's only $5 today.
Woot!
$ factor 267551
267551: 267551
Glasses are hot. Broaches are for grandmothers, and while they do exist, there are very few hot grandmothers.
So, I'll go with glasses.
Been there, done that.

That Windows sidebar looks familiar. Where have I seen that before?
That's pretty good stuff. I wonder how well they'll play together? Any guesses?

Well put. I'd agree that there are unfortunate similarities in society today. It's frightening.
