What? As far as I understand, this case wasn't about getting religious recognition - only about the alleged fraud of these two business entities and individuals.

Why was this rated troll? This makes sense and is even correct. (I'm just a part-time open source developer and I help teach computer security, so by all means don't trust me.)
How are you going to present that at your next job interview then? Say you just quit without a concerted effort to improve the organization? I wouldn't want to permanently hire somebody who cares so little for the place where they work. Try helping to fix things. If that fails, at least you can quit with one more thing to say at that job interview...
I think grandparent meant that once a user loses some data after clicking on such an attachment, (s)he will be more wary of doing it again.
The sad part is that fewer viruses work in this way (causing noticable effects straight away). They stay hidden from the user sending spam and everything else with local privileges. And by using a "local" exploit, this local access can be escalated to full "root" access.
Well, of course it sucks for those 6 year-olds or 13 year-olds who can't get their porn and violent video games. If it is so important to them, then why don't they just ask their parents to buy it for them? The law doesn't protect kids against stupid parents; they could still buy things for their kids. But it would protect kids against stupid store clerks. Nuts to them.
This is part of the crackdown on panhandlers and street-muggers. If this law had been passed, young children would be forced to pay homeless guys to buy games for them. Less incentives for those few homeless who might commit violence or other undesireable acts against children.
Then, there's inevitable creation of a underground kindergarten black^H^H^H^H^H African-American market for adult video games. Once this distribution chain gets established, it's bound to escalate its content from slasher-games to porn, snuff, cocaine and 2nd hand ballistic missiles. And we don't want our children to get their grubby little hands on those, do we? Not without proper training. So the court has ordered that this law may be passed if it is accompanied by a raider that mandates training in the proper use of cocaine and nuclear missiles.
Open Source, South Carolina. State chosen to make the city name hard to pronounce. Everybody lives in caravans because nobody can keep people off their land.
Pajamas, Pennsylvania (alliteration is fun)
Indymedia, Indiana. It's placed smack dab in the middle of Indiana.
Sourceforge, Georgia
Windows, Wisconsin. Just make city ordinance requiring everybody to paint their houses blue. Elevators have this installed.
Pajamas, Nevada. (A bedroom community outside Las Vegas.)
Pajamas, New Mexico. New media. New Mexico. Pronounced in a Spanish accent. "Pahamas". Gets lots of tourists who thought they were going to the Bahamas.

The myth about the so-called New Media not being media, about blogs being the voice of the experts. When I read this, it looks like to contradictory points.
You're saying that - New Media is media and that - blogs are NOT the voice of the experts
The "new media" is media too. That's in the definition. A discussion about how new media turn main-stream with higher readership would be interesting.
When it comes to experts, every moron and his little sister has a blog these days. But some experts do too. You'll find experts in many fields with blogs. What's good about blogs is that the experts can be challenged by their readers, either by email or comments, and by other blogs. They fact-check and opinion-check each other to oblivion or to fame. This massive interactivity is what attracts about blogs. Before, the most you could realistically hope for from the big paper was some sort of non-retraction retraction hidden among the classifieds.....
It signifies an unprofessional attitude rather than a clever PR stunt. If they had a slashdotter in their core team, I think they would have thought of running a search in the USPTO database before settling on a name. Any PR from an extra slashdot post is miniscule compared to the unprofessional appearance this resulted in.
I don't think Pajamas Media will stay as a name for long either....
I don't know wether you're English or not, but I thought that in England you can't usually telephone to get a ride in a regular cab. The cabs that you book by phone are called "mini-cabs" and look different from the standard black ones.
It takes discipline to do that. Also, it helps to have some experience working for somebody else, especially if you need to get capital to start something (bank loan, investments).
Regarding the minority hearing on the PATRIOT act hearing, famous for the chairman ending the hearing over the protests of the minority representatives, the only testimony given there that was actually about the PATRIOT act came from Amnesty International about an email from a librarian who had wrote that she been asked to provide library records to federal agents.
Has Amnesty International yet provided an affidavit, search warrant, or other documentation to be put into the record of that hearing?

So the church of Scientology actually recognises the Holocaust now? Ah well :)
Yes but they blame psychiatrists for doing the Holocaust, and 9/11, and blowng us up with hydrogen bombs millions of years ago. Yes really.
His official titles are Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center, and Captain in the Sea Org.
Also, this seems like a parody press release.
Now that's what I call a Submarine Patent!

Relevant thread: Free workaround for listening to server audio from client
Then there's the possibility of setting your server up as a SoutCast-like server.
I've got no personal experience with it though...
I would've bought a cheap sound card...

In fact, I'm posting this response after following the process described above (on WinXP), and I have a history entry entitled "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..."

You'd think that a branding company would at least go to uspto.gov and do a search for possible conflicts.

The disruption itself most likely will distract the interested from the issue that caused it in the first place.

Not really. Since the issue that caused it was
I just take exception to many things that RMS says and does, even this thing.
Yup. The people who got most of the adverse effects were the dentist's assistants.

And "Al Qaida" literally means "the base". No joke.
The only flash movies that... ahem, struck me as much as AYBABTU were these:
;-)
Sticky Night of Love
And of course, the Yatta flash.
Original Yatta video for context.
Yatta Flash
Plenty of Engrish and epilepsia-inducing pictures.
Thank you slashdot. Oh, boy do I look forward to having my friends send me a link to this funny AYBABTU thing that they just discovered.
