Anyone else have visions of DMCA notification letters being folded into origami statues of liberty?
If by 'folded into origami statues of liberty' you mean 'being used as toilet paper by people whose origami skills begin and and end with making paper planes' then, yes.
Hell, no! You forgot the hugely innovative twist of lemon that, according to one person, makes drinking Coke lemon 'like drinking ordinary coke through a j-cloth'
She's had many visions that have come true and today she had one vision of horrifying clarity. She just called me about having seen a cataclysmic taking place next week. "Black silhuettes of mangled corpses, adults and children, flying in searing hot wind against a bleeding red sky pierced by a square tower made of four smaller towers with needles at the endpoints."
Well, if she will blue-tac her Iron Maiden album covers to her walls..
Enter "goatse.cx" and clicking "I'm Feeling Lucky" brings you to their uptime page at Netcraft, not the horrible image we all know and cherish.
The key words are 'I'm Feeling Lucky' - not 'I'm in the mood to be mentally scarred for fricking life.' Plus, it'd stop you getting a gruesome thumbnail if you typed in 'goats' in images.google.com.
.. transmitting a false signal and charging the goods to someone else? Or even nastier, finding someone with money to burn, kidnapping and or killing them and removing the chip? There'd have to be some sort of security mechanism for the chip to make sure the user was still alive.
And people actually agreeing to have these things in them? These may work some day, but I can't see them actually being in common use at any point. One to put in the same file as flying cars and pill-food
NEWSFLASH: Chrismas has been postponed as Santa has had an injunction placed on him by Linux copyright claimants SCO.
'We intercepted a number of letters from Linux users to Mr Claus, requesting that he bring them the new 2.6 Linux Kernel for Christmas, and given that at least 50% of them have been good, we believe he was going to supply the requested code' said Daryl McScrooge, head of SCO's 'Grabbit and Runne' division.
'Linux 2.6 was of course entirely written by ourselves and the tooth fairy and to protect our rights we have taken out an injunction preventing Father Christmas from delivering any presents this Christmas. We believe this is a fair and legal action. And anyway, I never did get that bike I asked for.'
17. The masses love it as the most original yet authentic medieval tale ever.
You forgot - 'The orcs are replaced by the British, and Frodo is played by Mel Gibson' Who, curiously enough, has yet to reveal any plans to play an Australian aborigine struggling against occupation.
I know that you meant that as a joke, but that's actually not a bad idea. For everyone who's complaining that the movies don't match the book, why don't we just create our own version?There have been some good fan created movies - my personal favourite being Batman: Dead End. However, the 'why don't we' would have something to do with the litigous nature of many studios. Even if the creator of the film was cool with these 'tributes' being made - the studio owning the property might not be so happy.
You could assume that they render multiple frames at a time. With all the frames they have to render, at 12 frames a day that requires a few decades to render.
That sounds like a call for distributed computing and an LOTR rendering client on each PC. One million slashdot readers willing, we *will* render the Scouring of the Shire...
.. if you take a lesson from the BOFH school of thought.
1. Feed loose end of cable out of building, into carpark.
2. Attach cable to axel of bosses car, and forge email from CEO's wife saying she wants him now.
3. Watch boss drive off at great speed.

5. Profit.
I thought Impostor was sadly underrated - where I felt it went wrong was that they inserted an unnecesary 1/2 hour's worth of Minority Report chase sequences. If they'd cropped it down to the lengths of say an Outer Limits episode, it would have been fantastic. As it was, it was still pretty good - the ending especially hit like a sledgehammer.
They say that "guns don't kill people, people kill people." Well I think the gun helps. If you just stood there and yelled BANG, I don't think you'd kill too many people.
That comes ten years down the line when MSN Music users find that the forty two page licence agreement included a line giving Microsoft the right to centrally archive all biometric data on their subscribers. Just in case the RIAA want it..
So how would this affect software license agreements that state you can make one backup copy of the game/program? I know that my Operation Flashpoint, despite having 'FADE' protection, has a license at the back that states you can make a backup copy. Would the EUCD somehow retroactively invalidate past license agreements - would I be doing something illegal if I were to copy Op Flashpoint for my own use after the EUCD came in? There are so many impracticalities here, it's not even funny.

That's freedom fries, you insensitive clod! Or have you forgotten how the French refused to help fight the evil Soup Dragon in the moon wars of 2054?
