Hmmm... Sure, Sony's sexy. But isn't the real woman less expensive ? Not to mention the lifespan slightly longer then Sony's PDAs...

With Lexmark making and selling Memory Sticks at better price then Sony, and the likes of Toshiba and Hitachi (as well as Sony, of course) implementing MS slots into their latest TVs, it is no longer proprietary. And all the better for it. Here, in UK the 128 MB MS is cheaper then 128 SD(MMC) - it's only real competitor.
One answer : when you post a joke on Usenet. Hardly a crime, is it ? But it could happen in the wonderful country of yours that you can be convicted and sent to jail charged with "terrorism" and "threatening to use nuclear weapons". Unbelievable ? Not when you dared to joke about Church of Scientology. Learn about Keith Henson, whose life has been destroyed because of one newsgroup posting: Wired article
Is that good enough reason to, indeed, be paranoid ?
Wrong, unfortunetely. You can count on scientology moving all boundaries (of common sense). They've just managed to get an ISP shot over copyright issues : http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t269-s2107198,00. html
There's no need for such a language, but there's interesting issue here, you are right.
Not only is this copy-paste job slightly lame (questions "But isn't it bad idea to reply to spammers ??" are worst, still. What is this ? A WebTV support board ?), but it really is funny in the light of yesterday's google-CoS news.
Why is this sad ? They were censored by Google, after all ? (and that was just few hours ago) That's something very serious. And Google still have not clarified their position - they are just playing with their indexes atm. And yes, it's about 5am in Europe.
Hipnosis does not exist (read on about Kreskin's Challenge). Self-suggestion of psychically weak people, however, does. And that's the kind of people CoS prays on. Poems don't help, for they are likely to steer you away from common sense, which is something that's most needed when dealing with those issues. Sorry for being slightly off topic here:-)
Amazing petition - 14 people thinking they are right to demand services for free from the company that pays to mantain them. Why, I ask ? Yahoo does not own us anything, does it ? Free lunch is over - get over it.
Somone wrote in earlier comment : "After almost every tech site and individual geek banded together to...". Well, exactly. The possible implications of world's most popular search engine taking responsibility for the contest of the sites it link to, cannot be underestimated. It well may be an IT story of the year so far. Yet, of all tech sites, TheRegister.co.uk , always happy to stir up trouble in much less important cases - is completly quiet. Not even the smallest mention of today's events. It baffles me why.
Ah, damn it. I went on and registered. It's no fun to flame others anonymously;-) Also, pretty cool site you have here, actually. (but where's spull chucker ?)
There's also following "sponsored link" appearing highlighted in nice green, when looking for the word "scientology":
"Scientologist are Evil?
Why is Google censoring this site?
What are the Scientologist hiding?
www.xenu.net:"
Comes up only on some of the searches, though - so you need to click few times to get it.
So, Xenu.net gets even better covarage then before Scientology started to fight it.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot..:-)
The only thing I'm waiting now for - an official statement and explanation from Google on today's turbulent events.
