I imagine Etoy will continue thier lawsuit. The only people that said they were both going to call them off was Etoys, Etoy said they hadn't heard anything. I bet this is just Etoys backing out and trying to coerce Etoy into it as well.
Grr too tired to fix the rambling thing above, sorry. O.D.
Great. Lovely. *IF* this is indeed true, doesn't it just warm your heart to know that this great cheap, perhaps even free, energy source is in the patent process. Ahhhh, I love the system.
I think junk email distribution patterns would make an interesting area of study for Information Theorists:)
Oh great, the next one just started. 'This is part of a study looking at junk e-mail flow in modern society, please forward this on to whoever you usually forward this crap too.'
If gwbush.com uses photographs lifted directly from the official site, then Bush has a legitimate gripe
Ahhh, but the question then arises, what is considered 'lifting'? When I go to a site, THEY put the pictures up, and for me to see them, they are SENT to my computer, stored on MY harddrive. I look through my cache and I can find these pictures. If you try to draw too many fine lines, you just make a big scribble.
one of my friends burned down his garage with a home made flame thrower.
I don't mean this to be flame bait or anytihng, but quite honestly, I would hope burning down your garage with a flame thrower does put someone into the 'watch a little closer' catergory.
Besides, the only thing this will catch are the stupid violent types, anyone with half a brain will either go turn the thing off, or just limit what they do on school computers. If it is a poll thing, anyone with half a brain when asked "Have you ever considered bringing a gun to school" would hit the no button with out a second thought, despite what they actually have thought about.
It's not tax-deductible, in general, if the IRS thinks the non-profit is political. Political activity is grounds for removal of non-profit status; e.g. if a public university uses official assets to support an Al Gore rally, for instance.
This does bring up other interesting ideas. According to their logic, if the free speech campaign (blue ribbon) is considered no profit. Then there are a whole lot of web sites out there that could fall under that. Just imgaine, every small personal page counting as a thousand dollar donation.
Hmmm perhpas I'll jsut add a quick amnesty international banner on my site.

Etoy declined comment, saying it had not yet been contacted by the toy seller
For some reason i just found that part funny.
Anyway, I am just glad that reason kicked in, apparantly some companies still read their 'comments' mail and act appropriately.
O.D.
Who loves to see that backpeddlin 'Oh no, we didn't want to stiffle artistic expression.'
Just because it's already been said in the comments doesn't mean I wasn't the first to say it. Read the time stamps
No, I think it was marked redundant because there is no 'stating the obvious' option.
O.D.

what a suprise -- a member of a group that yaps constantly about hate spouts words of hate herself.
Yep. Well, we'll let you know when we are yapping about whining to let you have chance at that one too.
