How about a woman having a chip implanted in her? Make a nice contrast to this.
(That link is why Photoshopping is wrong, so very very wrong. 'twas made for an anti genetic engineering campaign in New Zealand. The model went into hiding, because everybody wanted a gawp...)
I was the guy who posted the question about the DMCA, and firstly I'd like to thank Mike for answering not just my question, but everyone's questions with excellent clarity and quality, unlike some interviewees that have gone before. Cheers Mike!
Secondly, if I get what he's getting at with his reply to a question on Internet pollution, I totally agree with him. The changes have to come from the people changing (i.e Ralsky and his merry men being sent to-I hate to use these words-a federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison), and not the technology (Penny Black seems to me to be something that will crash and burn like a plane made of pentane-coated magnesium bricks). We also have to do something about this bullshit idea of "freedom of commercial speech". As far as I'm concerned, telemarketers and spammers aren't exercising their rights to free speech, they're pissing me off royally. The same argument for people changes as opposed to technology changes also echoes in his reply to my question: rather than removing basic functions of computers and restricting users' freedoms through Palladium and the rest of that crap, we need to be looking at the way the RIAA do business, and possibly getting them to see P2P in a modern light.
I love the idea we could sue Gator if we didn't ask for their shit to be installed. Class action, anybody?:)
Mike's response on DVD copying is definitely the truth. If you really are just using those DVDs for "personal use", then you have absolutely zero need to make more than one backup (let's face it, if you manage to destroy not one but TWO copies of the same DVD then you don't deserve legal rights to copy it again, you need a beating with a cluestick).
As for anonymous domain names, I'm in favour of those so long as it doesn't stretch to tubgirl and goatse:)
GNOME 2.6 was released the other day, for real. See here. There's your choice people...the story I submitted about this (GNOME) was rejected for some reason, so meh:)
While in Spain, a female friend was repeatedly snapped by these frickin' camera phones.
I don't understand what use they serve, other than to piss people off. Most of the time, I just see them being used to make fun of other people, or to snap random women.
This is bullshit. If this is real (and I hope with every piece of my fibre that it is not) then I am going to be VERY angry.
If you're in Britain, heres what you can do...
Email the government, check if is real and if it is a plan. The treasury public email address is public.enquiries@hm-treasury.gov.uk. If real, move on to the next step.
Contact a news source, giving details, URLs, any reply you got from the Treasury, whatever. I recommend The Independent and The Telegraph, they seem less likely to reject something like this.

Madonna single: 5.
Radiohead single: 3.50.
So, higher price = more value?!
Go listen to Radiohead. They seem to be the only band who have any fucking integrity left, or any control over their own music.
Run like hell and don't look back...
Joking.
You should look back occasionally. You never know when Darl's running after you with a brick waving a license contract.
Easy: spying on peoples' MSN Messenger conversations.
Snort = fun.
Uh, CNN are owned by AOL Time Warner, who have big ass links to music companies like EMI. They'll obviously not want to point out the RIAA's flaws.
You'd have a hard time finding her, seeing as she's in hiding. And the tubes would just get in the way...
You made a funny!
Damn, that made me laugh.

That these badgers are the way forward for Linux.
You literally have an all singing all dancing Linux system (rimshot)...
Also at Everything2, by the same author.
But when you "unbiased, fair reporting, with due impartiality to both sides of an argument", why does Slashdot immediately spring to mind?!
Or it would have been, had I checked the fucking box. GAAAH...
This is not a troll. This is the honest truth.

Posted AC because I value my karma
Okay, now that's just a bad pun, and you know it!

Totally unintentional, I swear

There was something like that for KDE once, I think it was called Kconfigure. It would unpack tarballs and compile them. It rocked.
Loki. Their installer was the shizzle.

TROLL!?
He makes a very valid point. Why the fuck should Fox suck up to these fucktards who demand ever more money for a few hours work?
It's not really Fox's short sightedness, it's the cast being greedy fucks.
Not really 5. You counted the Scotsman three times.
I actually have that copy of The Independent somewhere...
Dear Actors,
FUCK OFF. We can find cheaper people who'll do the job half-assed for less money. What do you think this is, India? Nobody keeps their jobs here!
Once again, fuck off.
Your good friend and former employer

Do whatever you can, this is outrageous.
As far as April Fools jokes go, this takes the biscuit.
It's both unfunny and the story makes no sense.
