    Just substitute a Koala, that's what the Australian politicans have been doing for years. (They don't have dogs down there, do they? Ya, Koalas.)

    Ya jeez. They should be thinking about more important things, like keeping IP safe.

    Seems to me the most important thing is peace. It's kinda hard to eat and drink if someone's shooting you in the head and pushing you into a ditch.

    This just in! Mac OS X users can now poke themselves in the eye with a fork. When contacted for comment, the fork manufacturers said "We got no idea why anyone would want to poke themselves in the eye with a fork, but we're all for it! Anything that increases fork sales is a plus for us. Vive la Liberte!"

    >>> If it is a good source of neutrons, then it is well worth the effort.

    A neutron star is also a good source of neutrons, that doesn't mean it's a good idea to try and create one.

    Isn't a limitless source of power a bad thing? If we had an infinite supply of oil, other than impending planetdeath (and that's not even certain), what's the downside to make us stop and think about curbing the pollution we produce?

    Dude, that's not the Mac's fault, that's just Ironforge. A couple weeks back Ironforge was lagging the servers so bad the NPCs in Gadgezan went on strike for 15 minutes.

    ..."Why don't they just seal up the place with a whole bunch of stuff inside, and see what survives?"

    The little green men have already been there and done that. So far Homo Sapiens are leading, but they have a nasty tendency to wipe themselves out. We're cheering for the dolphins, they're a 2:1 lock.

    Doesn't anyone find it ironic that people in a Democracy are forced to resort to moving servers to communist (or previously communist) countries to ensure their freedom?

    My suggestion is to revamp RSS to use a P2P format of publishing, so you spread out the load.
