The law will not stand a Constitutional test. Given that so much is now done via the Internet, and how reliant people have become on its availability to do even the simplest task such as grocery shopping, pay for bills, or even look for work this would very likely be termed a violation of human rights.
Seriously, April Fools is overrated now. All the jokes have been done and done again - they are just not funny anymore, some not even in the first instance.
I remember having to type "make config && make zImage && make install" just to get a kernel to work. Everything was done from the command line, nothing was ever done in a GUI.
Wanted to install a package, you had to search for all the dependencies and their dependencies whilst praying that there would be no Exit error at the end of the compilation.
Linux users now have it far too easy, just hook into a repository for your distro and let it do the work for you.
Not all content loads, requires repeated hits of refresh. Why take the Microsoft approach to fix everything not broken when it worked exceptionally well to begin with?

I have been watching the magpies in my area. Most birds just cross the road, but magpies will turn their heads left and right, then cross the road.
Crows have also been observed using busy intersections for crushing the shells of nuts by dropping them or whatever they want broken up, onto the road where cars run over the food-stuffs.
I have to admit, the same thought has crossed my mind.
Personally, the word terrorist is being thrown around so much that the real 'bogeyman' does not have to do anything - he has us all spooked enough to see him in every face we encounter.
Remember 300 years ago, the founding fathers of the US were considered "Terrorists" And around that time, suggesting that the Earth revolved around the sun was considered heresy and with those who suggested it treated as enemies of the state.
Just read through Wikipedia - you can easily gleam enough information on how to turn regular dihydrate oxide into some form of ignition or explosive device just by adding some chemical to it.

Enough already, they are not even funny to begin with. Seriously, April Fools is overrated and the domain of the inferior intellect.

The number of f*** knuckles with their "doof doof" crap blaring for all too hear would more than cover the "licensing costs" and "royalty fees".
The drug^H^H^H^H cartels are not making their money through lawsuits, so they are going after legal and responsible users.
Or those who have been in "these" situations before and now how to go about the call calmly.

IIRC wasn't the name of the computer WOPR?
This might not be a game. You, the player as it were, might be controlling a remote drone in some far off country.
Or was it a TV show?
Which ever it was, humanity was almost assimilated into a collective.
When most phones, including the iPhone, come into contact with anything Apple, they become crippled.
At least we can officially call it: The Apple Effect.
More likely that mummy and daddy are home, and forcing little Timmy/Tammy to do their homework.

I doubt it: He's dead Jim.
But is it me, or are the highest piracy rates located in areas where a certain religion is practised?
