So, lets just work this out in our heads... how does this end up earning money for them? They won't be getting any NEW subscibers, right? (Nobody I know was saying, "Man, i'd love to sign up for that service, but darn it, it's just not nearly limited enough!")
And it's not like there are no alternatives where unlimited music downloads are available, right?
Right now thier customers are those people who are kind enough to give them a break and not go and download thier songs from kazaa. How does kind of action help them at all?
Try this: The new policy is, when you catch a cheater, the person who cheats will not be allowed to have any work graded (getting all zeros on every assignment and test) until the cheated work is re-completed by the student.
They've just shot themselves in the foot, you know. Now worms from all over can hit them with random non-resolving.com/.net queries, hard, and they can't simply point them at 127.0.0.1 like windowsupdate did. I wonder if they are expecting this?
And again, the major reason for this is because we know what's going on. I'd say our descendants -- or maybe even we personally! -- have a pretty decent shot at wondering what brand of sunblock to buy in the year 1,000,002,003.
Sun-B-Gone. It's the only one with Retsin to freshen your breath while protecting you from intense thermonuclear radiation.
9 - Write anti-American trolls on slashdot It's fun. It makes you feel like you are part of the solution, not part of the problem. You're friends will comment on how European you are! Nothing is more American than making fun of it.
Are you trying to imply that American propaganda is subtle? I take offense at that! Our propagada is about as subtle as a hydrogen bomb in a Pyongyang parade.
Why couldn't the particle just kind of phase out of reality and simultaniously exist everywhere at once, Heart-of-Gold style? Or maybe be moving in some other dimension thet we can't measure? Does Heisenburg's principle apply universally or is it only a 4 dimension thing?
Go ahead and hand over the information... Just not YOUR information. Instead try handing over the names of the sons and daughters of your favorite senator. Maybe that will finally put an end to the mess once and for all.
I remember a calculation somehwere that the energy output of the sun in any given minute is on the order of all the energy humanity has every produced. A half hour after that it's given off more energy than has ever existed on the planet Earth. And hour after that, more energy than the planet earth every COULD produce.
The average person wouldn't have a clue about what a developer was doing. There's no way someone can walk by and know that the guy was testing a virus.
Now, I don't know about that there buddy... Isn't it always obvious when somone is writing a virus? In every movie I've ever seen, when they copy it to a floppy it puts a big flashing:
"!!!Downloading Malware Computer Virus to Disk!!!"
With a very very slow progress bar ticking off the seconds until completetion.
"Yes sir, I can certianly do that. It will be finished in early 2009. If it is very important, it can be done next week, but *you* will be responsible for telling Big Boss that his task will be the one completed in 2009."
Maybe this little clue will help. Man in prison = criminal, deserving of punishment.
And if the man gets his conviction turned over on appeal, then it's no longer funny if he's raped in prison? Or if the woman secretly got away with stealing from the office or whatever then her rape is now riotously funny?
Federal prosecutors in California went too far when they put a man in prison for disclosing a website security hole
Guess whose hole will need tight security now ?
Ha ha, prison rape is funny! I'm so glad this country is civilized enough that we can not only condone it, but we can laugh at his humiliation!
Ha ha!
Man, I can't wait until society evolves to the point where we can laugh at normal rapes too, especially violent gang rape and child molestation. Ha ha, you got raped at gunpoint while walking to you car, maybe you have AIDS now! Ha ha, your uncle made you stick his little friend in your mouth when you were five, hopefully you are scared for life!

Golgo-13 MMORPG!
Get the PC version of GTA three and use the following cheat codes:
itsallgoingmaaad
weaponsforall
You'll see an EXACT demo of what GTA MMORPG will look like.
Yeah, no jar jar!

Please stop paying attention to us! We don't need funding or publicity! Give our money to the effort to stamp out terrorist bad breath!
This sounds suspisciously like an Onion article in the making...
I just know there is a good joke in there *somewhere* with gas-guzzling, solar power, and SUVs... I just can't get my mind around it yet...
You seem to have included an extra step there right at the end...

It would also be the end of professional artists, writers and musicians.
I think you MEANT to say this:
It would also be the end of "professional" artists, writers and musicians.
Otherwise, nobody gets the sarcasm.
How the heck are 24 bolts missing? Someone is sooooo fired over this one!
And it will probably be the technician who removed them and not the manager who ordered it done.
Go ahead and hand over the information... Just not YOUR information. Instead try handing over the names of the sons and daughters of your favorite senator. Maybe that will finally put an end to the mess once and for all.
And they encourage youths to delve into occultism and ultimately drive them to suicide.
Just thought I'd point that out in case you weren't aware.
Good thing video games and movies never have Satanic themes!

Right?
I fail to see how it's "sad" to get any virus writer - big or small - out of the virus writing business.
I'll show you:
Judge: You're guilty, go to jail!
FBI: Well, we got him, whew, now that the public sees that he's captured we will have to stop any further investigation or people will begin to bitch.
Original Virus Writer: Muhahahaha... The next one will target hospitals!
Failure is NOT and option
Poor Quality, however? Yes, that's perfectly valid.
You still can't prove a negative
That has yet to be proven!
