I guess in this case you CAN really blame canada:)
I'm glad this crap isn't taking place in the Netherlands. For now downloading is legal here, uploading isn't. Some dutch artists are trying to influence the government into changing the law here to go after the downloaders as well.
If cds were cheap here, I would say "all power to them" but right now they cost about $30,- each. What is the approx. price of cd's in the US? a somewhat empty mind wants to know.
"Kill all humans, KILL ALL HUMANS" Fry wakes him up "Fry Fry, I had this wonderful dream and I think you were in it" Bender falls asleep again (in a sexy voice) "Hey baby, wanna kill all humans?"
Normally you see the complete opposite story. A robot trying to live/adapt to a human environment. Bicentenial man (probably spelled that wrong) Data (from Star Trek TNG) Short Circuit (who doesn't know this one) Countless Anime series and movies (Chobits is my favourite, GO BUY IT)
The only series/movie that comes to mind is the (Ani-)Matrix, but that one doesn't really fit the bill either.
What if you clone yourself and genetically modify the DNA to make it a member of the opposite sex, apply some rapid growth and then have sex with it, does that count as masturbation or incest ??
And it's still my belief that nobody is allowed to curse at anyone.
1. It doesn't really help in the long run 2. You hurt someone's feelings 3. From personal experience, the people who are nice and polite get better service than the abusive people.
I can understand that sometimes it helps, but it never helped if people cursed at me.
If they do it to me on the street They'll be cursing their way to LIFE-SUPPORT!

Forget RFID, what if in say 50 years, every baby gets a little nano-computer implanted that is fed by bio-electricity ?
This is some scary shit even though it could have some practical uses.
A biomonitor that will give you a signal (on your mobile with wireless technology), location tracing (for if you get lost as a child)

Still cool tech though:)
When you are in Bangkok, at least check out Pantip Plaza. It's the biggest computer mall I've ever seen in my life. And a lot of stalls sell illegal cd's/dvd's. The dvd's aren't worth it though. The cd's are:)
btw, last time I was in Bangkok, I bought 6-7 ORIGINAL Utada Hikaru albums for +/- $8 a piece. If I imported them to my place of birth (Schiedam, Netherlands) I would have paid +/- $30 a piece Those albums had a label on them saying that they could only be sold in Thailand. This means that the tactics that the thai RIAA (if they have one) are using is:
Cool, so now I can burn my porn to their official cdr's and nobody will notice:)
But seriously, I don't think this will have much effect on the music industry. If a big artist like Britney Spears (well, there's something big about her) would do this, then it would get a lot more media attention, in this case in the mainstream press and not on a backwater website like Slashdot (Joe Normal doesn't read this website)
This is just the next stage in social interaction. I'm not an old man yet, but I have some very fond memories already, including playing games together with my family and having fun at lanparties with a lot of people.
I'm not saying that you're wrong, but I don't think you're 100% right either.

Don't forget Bender talks in his sleep.

So what you're saying is, is that Microsoft is a woman ??

Someone did (Firefly), but the FOX-assboats killed it off too soon.
I still miss that series.
These are not the discs you're looking for :D
Come on I dare ya.
Guess which site is the next potential target for the MyDoom virus??

heh, this is not entirely true.
often the fans themselves demand that Lucasarts make a SW-"clone" based on a popular concept.
Supply and demand sound familiar??
"must've been an ex-M$ programmer who made the boo-boo"
Or maybe after this error he was qualified enough to start programming security for M$
