Are any of you still buying RIAA label cd's? If you are, you are supporting this crap.
And when their profits fall, they play the victim card again and start cranking out ever increasing numbers of lawsuits. As long as they have legislators in their pockets and shyster lawyers that'll pressure settlements out of people, this will continue.
Reminds me of a friend who was born in Spain and took Spanish in high school. His halfwit teacher could't figure out how a guy with a last name of Perez could score near 100% on every test.

What about the exceedingly slow save program?
I want to make sure that whenever I save a file it goes extremely slowly and show's me every percent along the way.
Those should be avoided. Prolonged exposure to the loud suspenseful music that accompanies just-in-the-nick-of-time saving has been shown to be harmful to your hearing.

Anyone can learn these tricks at any time anywhere. They don't need to go to a school to find them.
Agreed. I'm about to cost these bastards lots of money by giving away their secrets. Gang, listen closely. First, watch the film Hackers a few times and try to dress as they do. Nothing shows up a non-hacker faster than one out of uniform.
Next, install any CLI-based OS. DOS, Linux, doesn't matter.
Now that you have a command prompt (with the blinking cursor, nothing else will do), you can hack anything! Type in a command like "reroute airtraffic > Boise" and watch all of those jets turn around. Steal the latest hollywood flick with "download harrypotter.movie now" Want to make your idiot neighbors power blink in and out, spelling "I am t3h fag0rz" in morse code? Go right ahead. You're only limited by your imagination.

Why would somebody be embarrased to see a 2 hours Marlboro commercial? well ok ok, only the first half of the movie was, but seriously I was just waiting to listen to the man saying "come to where the flavor is, come to the Marlboro Country" (or the equivalent in the USA ad)
So when the Heath Ledger character said "I wish I could quit you", he really meant the cigarettes?
But getting rid of Porn is a heart issue. It must be done away with by convincing people one at a time of it's evil effects. Not by the government's heavy hand. Otherwise we get a repeat of the 20's.
Listen to the man, he talks sense. Lets look at the '20:
Event: St. Valentines Day Massacre Cause: Porn
Event: Great Depression Cause: Porn
Event: Bonnie and Clyde's crime spree Cause: Porn
Event: The film career of Harold Lloyd Cause: Porn
Those who fail to learn history are condemned to repeat it. Burn your copies of Penthouse today!
Make the device look like a little anthropomorphic cricket that sits on the user's shoulder. Program it to whisper helpful hints:
If you can extend this platform to cover other kinds of anti-social behavior, then you'd better make some room for that Nobel Prize. Helpful hints such as:
- I don't think the other children on the merry-go-round really want to see your penis.
- Supermarkets are not places that usually tolerate impromptu showtune performances.
- Did you remember to say please and thank you after punching that hobo?
It's called "crime". You don't need to be a psych major to understand it. It's the use of force or fraud to get what you want. "Normal" people use non-coercive means to get what they want, like money, or persuasion, or begging.
all FBI agents are certified in morse code and at least half of them have some training in semaphore
and the next highest placing class out of quantico will be introduced to the fancy new 'telephone' that is rumored that a guy name alexander graham bell has perfected
Next thing you know, the FBI agent's time will be taken up by nickelodeons and vaudeville, rather than the pursuit of those dastardly beermakers that roam the streets freely, corrupting the morals of women and making shiftless drunkards out of the men.
Actually, I think he means Quiddich Cup. Bad enough that the religious zealots chime in, but now we have a new threat to science from the Harry Potter geeks.
There is no use resisting, five points to Gryffyndor!
Perhaps a bunch of us could get together, and rent it out once a year -- ala Burningman, Xday, and the like. Perhaps us Science geeks, and Sci-Fi freaks could show-up for a weekend of partying, to celebrate spacetravel, and the persuits to get there. Me, I just want another excuse to party.
NASA's moms basement would probably be a better place to hold this "party".

MS control is through the partners, if they fear MS will cut off their air supply, they will comply.
If I make a cheesy joke about the musical group Air Supply right about now, will you join me in a laugh?

Why not? An MIT kid would DOMINATE over there.

C'mon, you could have at least put **SPOILER WARNING** before that post. Have we forgotten the lessons of the Lone Gunmen?

it is a monkey...isnt that all they do anyways?
No, they masturbate too.
O RLY?
I heard that Linus and Richard might try to sneak in! They're sooooo cute!
I hope Richard comes so we can give him a makeover. I've got some barettes for his beard.
On second thought, if stinky boys crash our party, we can have Captain Crunch keep them busy...

the floors aren't sticky
That's actually a selling point down at the all-male cinema.
you pretty obviously don't use ghost or any similar sort of mass deployment software
Agreed. Maybe Roadhouse or any other Patrick Swayze film, but not Ghost.
Sounds like a hellish offshoot of Muppet Babies.

Ric Romero? Is that you?
I've been hanging around Fark for too long.
The ones with Norm Macdonald doing Burt Reynolds were gold. Midway through this sketch, Burt Reynolds changes his name to "Turd Ferguson".
Alex Trebek: That's not the right answer. [ Reynolds buzzes in ] Burt Reynolds.
Burt Reynolds: That's not my name.
Alex Trebek: Okay. Turd Ferguson.
Burt Reynolds: [ laughs ] Yeah, what do ya want?
Alex Trebek: You buzzed in!
Burt Reynolds: No I didn't.
Alex Trebek: Yes you did!
Burt Reynolds: Yeah, well, that's your opinion.

Fortunately, some of us know how to take a source into context and realize that this is a quasi-news site, not a courtroom.

Adam Curry was one of the first MTV VJs. You can hear his podshow and a bunch of his MTV colleagues on Sirius Satellite radio.
If enough people protest the system like this, eventually a cantidate will come along to take advantage of this.
If the write-in campaign works out like you say, what could Australians expect from a Yahoo Serious administration?
