If Fox does re-air Family Guy, we perform a slashdotting of their airwaves.
All of slashdot can tune to Fox when they show Family Guy, and ha! We crash the Fox broadcasting tower... or just the part that tallys the ratings. We get the buffer to overflow and aha! Family Guy sticks around longer than the Simpsons.
they could program these things to seek and destroy cells infected by various VD's and put an end to one of the biggest dangers of sex
Using a virus to destroy cancer is easy, cancer cells are cells in your body that continue to replicate themselves when they arn't supposed to, usually because their dna is broken. Using the same technique for killing HIV won't work. HIV itself is also a virus, a virus is just a string of proteins that insert themselves into cells. Technically viruses are not living organisms, they're just chemicals.
The cancer stopping virus approach works because it can destroy infected cells, but a virus can't kill another virus because neither one is really "alive". All they would do it bump into each other.

For a criminal trial, yes. The Constitution grants you a jury for a criminal infraction, but civil cases arn't the same thing.
But did they nab the software engineers at Microsoft?
the jury is not made of solely 12 RIAA member
Remember: these law suits are civil court preceedings, and civil suits RARELY have a jury.

I've seen all the pr0n
Call me crazy, but I find that really hard to believe... pun very much intended.
"So (Simon Phoenix) can't get food, or a place to sleep for the night. Unless he rips someone's hand off, let's hope he doesn't figure that out."
does it include a button to zap Zorak?
or do these things make an attempt to void eyecontact between people?
Let's not be too quick to deitize Google, after all.. just because a page is linked to slashdot doesn't mean it'll get /.ed.
That kind of punishment is too brutal for even the worst society can produce..
Except spammers of course.
Forget Johnny 5, where's Marvin, the paranoid android with a brain the size of a planet.
Oh sure. I can easily see one of the most evil dudes in the galaxy making sure that C-3PO gets back to his friends.
Vader MADE Threepio. It's only natural that he would preserve his creation, as any parent would.

Actually, no-one's ever walked into a school and massacred people with pro-gun rhetoric, either.
If someone is waiving a full automatic assault rifle around, killing people in the process, I'd say that's a pretty big pro-gun rhetoric.
taking this linux thing seriously
Linux is not a "thing", it's a way of life.

The United States has more than two states.. this statement confuses me, could you please elaborate?
In a totally unrelated story, all the apple trees in Washington have frozen solid, and it appears that the entire Macintosh crop will be decimated.
One day Microsoft will gain the patent for weather control... just watch.

canadian emails are only worth 5/8ths of a day
Canadian prison can't be that much more rough than US Pound-me-in-the-ass prison... can it?
That would be called "Spyware".
Software relaying information about me, without my consent to another computer that isn't owned by me.
Or is it ok for the wonderful Google to use spyware, but when anyone else uses it they're evil?
We should drop this double standard...
