It was under water, but the suppositories were to keep them from being crushed under the weight of that much water. Remember, Fry went out first with Bender and Zoidberg and was carrying a bag of air with a silly straw on the end?
Read the article Steev. The Macrovision copyright protection comes into play when you 'rip' to mp3 or another format. It 'adds' pops and scratches to the track, thus making music YOU purchased MOST unsavory! hehe This has nothing to do with regular CD players, whether they be in your car, home, or computer systems.
I've never seen the Coral Castle, but if it IS made out of coral (I believe it, I think), so what? I seem to remember that coral is a lot lighter than granite or sandstone, or whatever the pyramids are made of. Correct me if I'm wrong here (I more than likely am!). Still, if the gentleman built this structure by himself, it's still an impressive feat.
Using cell phones as an analogy doesn't carry much weight with me. Cell phone manufacturers and resellers and phone companies have this interesting deal worked out where they don't TELL you that the reason a phone is so cheap is that it's CARRIER BLOCKED to only work on one phone company's network. If you buy the phone that's not carrier blocked, it costs 2 to 3 times as much!!! What's up with that? And it's like pulling teeth to get a product description at a reseller's (or the manufacture's) website to list the differences. I can see where TiVo's coming from, to a point. And the phone companies. To a point. The point I draw the line is where they intentionally hide these minute, but very important differences in a basically identical product (TiVo isn't doing this, I know).

I'm sure a good number of your readers also read Engadget on a regular basis. They should've caught this already. Anyway....

What makes you think the users will know the IT structure is being attacked?? I'm surprised they even guessed that 'the Internet's down'! ;)
