"What luck for leaders that men do not think" - Adolf Hitler
Think about it. While it's feasable to get slashdotters and the like to boycott the MPAA and RIAA, 90% of the population is too dull to know what they are and will continue to buy the latest Britney Spears (for teeny-boppers) or the latest Bruce Springsten / Beatles remix (the older generation). Most of the population, in fact, does not think, and so the __IA will continue to prosper.
I'd hate to see his version of Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut -- it'd be about half an hour long.
That would still only take it from an "XXX" rating to an "X" rating. Maybe with some blurry blobs and some black boxes we can make it "NC-17". If we cut it down to just the title screen and the closing credits, we'll have it at "R". I think Kubrick was just seeing if he could write a porn flick and see if he could get it passed as a real movie. And who did he have do the sound track? Half of the movie it just sounds like he set up one of those drinking birds over the High G key on a Piano and let it go.

You know we couldn't pass a law like that. Well, maybe in Texas.
eight scenes of Jar Jar that never made it into the movie
Look on the bright side....some of those can be death scenes of Jar Jar
Scene 1: Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting Druku, Anakin has just gotten his arm chopped off. Suddenly, by the launch bay doors, a shadow appears...and out comes Jar Jar. He exclaims "NOOOSA yousa cannot hurt massa Anakin". Druku then throws his lightsabre at Jar Jar, severing both of his ears. As Jar Jar bends to pick them up, Druku picks him up by his neck and brings him 20 feet into the air. Jar Jar is then flipped and dropped head first. His brains form an elequant star pattern.
Scene 2: The Gungans have joined the clone army in the final battle scene, with Jar Jar at their head. His mount trips, and he goes flying forward, and accidently falls in the middle of a wagon of catapult ammo. As he clambers up, he trips over the back, causing it to break. Hits the dirt hard, and when he looks up, the Boombas have fallen out and are rolling at him. One hits his head, and it explodes, causing an elequent star pattern in the dirt.
And, once again, get beat down. Maybe this time, we won't let them back in. If they kiss the presidential ring and beg for forgiveness, we'll let them become provinces. If they're lucky.
Techsupport: Hi, how may I help you? User: Hi, I got your ToasterVNC, and when i tried to install it on my toaster, all hell broke loose! Techsupport: Can you describe what happened? User: I opened the box, put the CD in my toaster's CD-ROM, pushed the lever, and a few minutes later the whole thing started smoking. Techsupport: I think I know what the problem is. Take the whole thing back to the store, and tell them that you got an ID-ten-T error User: Thanks!
Not as fast as the toaster had they slashdotted that instead.

There are actually groups that do this frequently. There is the origional, Dagorhir, The rescent spin-off called Belegrath MCS, and if you want more role-playing, Amtgard. I've never participated in Amtgard, but I have in Dagorhir and Belegarth, and while the concept of dressing up in medeval clothing and fighting with foam swords and sheilds on central campus seems strange to some people, it it actually a lot of fun, and it's completly safe...doing it several hours a week for a year, the worst injury I ever sustained was a bloody nose.
Yeah....If I have an admin working for me that is so bad at admining that he / she needs a mac, they probally won't be working for me for very long. MacOS X server is like unix. Except for the huge price tag. And the UI that drains resources. And the crappier hardware. Yes, I know that you can just run it in command line mode, but once we're in command line mode, we've just thrown out the only advantage that apple has over PCs, which is an easier to use UI.
they 'blackmail' companies into paying for huge site licenses to cover all the workstations and then some, or face a 'software audit'
I can personally testify to this. My company, a fabric manufacturer with sites worldwide, was recently approached by Microsoft with an offer for a 'maintainence plan'. Since we have a full IT team, we didn't need it. A week later an e-mail appears in our CIO's mailbox saying that we're being audited by Microsoft. Now every morning, he walks into work and says "Alright, what can we do today to get rid of more windows boxes".

Insulting the boot is a bootable offense!
If this product fails to Blue Screen 5 times in the first 30 days, send your effective copy of Windows 2000 to us for a replacement defective one.

Their EULA reads "Essentially, you will allow us to take control of any window on your desktop." Glad I could clear that up.
You just demonstrated Miller's Paradox.

Actually, the atari 2600 had this. It was called missile commander i do believe.
