Then today's my birthday! I'm 18! (I can look get drafted, vote, buy a gun, smoke (Hah...), go to nightclubs, and the best of all... LEGALLY PURCHASE PORN! W00T!)
Let's see them post that on slashdot. Hah!
(Please don't... I'm being sarcastic... I don't want to be famous in any way, and I know if I got posted on slashdot I would die because I'm just a lousy quasi computer nerd... Please don't hurt me!)
So this is what you have to do to get your birthday mentioned on slashdot....
Ok, well, I'll get right on building a new generation of videogames, making an innovative pizza chain, and a theatre chain as well, and then will I have a shot at it? (When I'm 60?)
"Hello, this is your captain speaking, I am currently sitting on my couch watching reruns of 'friends' and controlling the entire operations of this ship with my palm pilot. Have a nice day!"
So that explains all the weird symptoms I get when I'm on/. for too long...
I wonder if you could die of that... "Programmer dies from writing program to organize porn files and upload them onto his server, all while accessing slashdot, trying to post as much as possible to get good karma so he could moderate up his friend's comments. Parents and ex-girlfriend have nothing to say, aside from, 'Oh, he's not dead. Send him an e-mail and he'll get back to you within a few seconds.'"
They won't win. There's no way they could, but it's the point that matters. They're showing the RIAA that they're not the only ones who can weild the lightsaber known as lawyers.
Also, what would be nice is if they got some donations off of this lawsuit so they could get better lawyers and pose a real threat to the RIAA. And hell, if they win, it'll usher in a new era of avenging napster...
You know I think I'd enjoy doing that as well. What say we all start some sort of online/slashdot based company, rent a geek: Nomadic geeks, exchanging computer repair/programming/webbuilding services in exchange for a cool basement with a computer and bandwidth and spicy chinese food... Yum...
I mean, you don't get to keep him? You don't get to let him live in the basement and program computer things for you in exchange for food, bandwidth, and sleeping on the couch? Where's the fun in that?
I'd like to see a rent a geek service. Now that would be cool.
As long as environmentalists are glued to their monitors, there will be no change.
So, what to do with all the spare parts then? I know, make cool high tech looking clothing! For example, I have an archaic ram chip as a pendant... (So that's where that weird rash-burnish thing is coming from...)
I'm never going into a CD store again unarmed. Bastards goin down.... Lemme see, just need some holy water, wood stakes, and a burned cd full of pirated music to lure them in, and I'll be in good shape.
But one of her biggest problems is that she is too vague. Unless she's willing to try to defend all users of P2P, then her arguement is way too sketchy. Where do you draw the line?
Hell, the prospect of getting a B.A. in anime arts gives me a warm fuzzy feeling, that will probably contrast nicely to the bitter cold of sleeping in a gutter if I get that degree.
That's what I think. I see way too many musicians go to crap because they want to appease more fans. I've seen perfectly good bands get so caught up in that type of stuff and lose their edge...
Of course sometimes they're just trying to get more popularity, which is somethign nobody can do anything about...
You gotta wonder, if the RIAA goes down, what will return in it's place? I mean, when they killed napster (the bastards) many many more P2P services sprung up in it's place. Will it be the same with the RIAA? If a bunch of mini RIAAs pop up, there won't be much of a an anti P2P problem, because they'll probably be too busy fighting eachother.
Still, you gotta wonder about musicians: If someday all music were free, what would they do? Would they still make music, just getting money off of concerts and stuff? I know some bands would, but some of the other more popular bands, I dunno...
They're trying to soften their image, trying to let people see the softer side of the RIAA, eh?
Well, I feel that the replacement may look like a friendly santa claus, but under that nice smile and family friendly approach hides a demon.
Think about it, if they soften their image, people will listen to them and let them get away with more wheeling and dealing away from the limelight. Netizens, do not lose your vigil! The face may change, but the mind is still the same!
That, or they could just spawn someone just as bad as her.
I installed realplayer on my teacher's computer at my school (realplayer has a monoply on cambodian music, imoho. He wanted me to find him some music from his homeland, and I found some, but it was in realplayer. All of it.)... Oh crap indeed... I don't remember if I used his e-mail address. I hope I didn't!
I too, hope it is illegal. I don't like having to use realplayer.
You know, I oughta get a hard drive, fill it with utter crap, then sell it to some unfortinuate n00b just to be evil.... Hehe... Sell a middle schooler a hard drive o' porn! Ok, maybe that's getting a wee bit evil...
I worry about Disney taking all these things to america. I mean, I think that it is good that the anime is coming to us, but I feel that if disney does it, they might do a terrible dub job and ruin a lot of the original feeling of the anime. Make it disneyesque, give it a happy go lucky feeling. I don't want to see that happen to any of Miziaki's works... Ever.
Slashdot Mirror
I wonder if there are any allergies associated with it, or if you have to use a patch that corresponds to your blood type...
Let's see them post that on slashdot. Hah!

So what are these, diet cigs? Light cigs? Will people get into them? Will they think they still look cool?

Just ban all lawyers and such from e-bay, /., and any other things internet related!

But they love the popularity anyways...
Wasn't there talk of having the postal service ride segways? So what, will they just ban the postal service on san fran, make everybody e-mail?
(I wouldn't mind.)
But does that mean they can sell naked x-men toys, because they 'aren't human?'
I always thought those really weird repeditive songs were just remixes.
