This is true, the only way hes getting out early is if he's going to a halfway house, gets an appeal, or perhaps as a result of some act of god, like, getting a pardon, for example.
I tottally agrre, but it seems these days prison is no longer about protecting society, but about punishing people. Is that what it's supposed to be? I think not. I can imagine it now this guys gonna be put in a prison designed for his type of criminal (the white collar). His peers will be poeple busted for smokeing pot, tax evasion, and other harmless folks, but you know what they say... who wonts to rule a country full of law abiding citizens. Yes a steep fine would have been the way to go.
woah, were do you come up with a figure like $100-$200, thats just rediculous, assumeing a single wap cost only $30, that $30 * 16! thats $480 right there plus all sorts of other expenses. Ceartainly it's over priced, but $100-$200 come on, thats not enogh even to tape a bunch of shit together from ebay, in an effort to build something like this.
wow! thats terrible, fuck, according to this most of the injections i recieved that were required for me to attend shcool contained dangerous amounts of mercury... they also diagnosed me with add, shitty stuff
Actually rape would be an appropriate substitute for "piracy" or "theft" in this situation, note this entry in the websters dictionary.
Main Entry: 2rape
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): raped; raping
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin rapere
1 a archaic : to seize and take away by force b : DESPOIL
2 : to commit rape on
e.g. I just got through rapeing portions of an riaa executives pork barrel... via the use of bit torrent to illegally download copyrighted music files.
p.s. thx to Roget's New Millennium(TM) Thesaurus for informing me that pork barrel is a synonym for profits.

Mayor: People, People, standing around saying "rabble" over and over isn't going to help anything.
Stan's dad: But mayor we don't now what else to do
Man in crowd: rabble... rabble rabble

If anyone knows what these are called please say, those things are so cool!! Just think of the possibilities!! (you could do this http://media.ebaumsworld.com/pesci1.mp3 )
I'd say this a very poor decision on the part of the record companies. If they put in a infrastructure were cds are taken out of the mix whats to stop artist from saleing the wares directly to the customer once a large portion of the market is comfortable buying music off a p2p network. I think this could be the first step towards a system were the artist get the money they deserve. I for one welcome are new fileshareing overlords.
I'm sick and tired of these "porn sites" and they're ingenious sales tactics! I mean seriously what kind of sicko would post an ad that has a jpeg image of a microsoft window asking me if I like saucy young teens (yes | no) I almost thought microsoft was advertiseing to me (thats just stupid I know). fortunatly my themes were turned off and the xp theme of the window was a dead give away. Thanks microsoft!!

It just kills me that VHS won, The beta max is technically superior, not to mention its less prone to getting dirty heads, and imo is just a more sound standard.
It seems that alot of people around here seem to think that this article is suggesting that one day we might be able to run programs on our brains (although theoretically possible... i guess) I interpreted the article as meaning what it says, that we would have neural interfaces with computers. Meaning we that we won't be running games on our brains per se, and that it may one day be possible to interact with computer (that might be running games) on a lower level, (i.e. the computer still runs the game, however you can control the computer with your brain)

Thats like saying I wish everyone around me was stupid so I could be smart. Why do you feel the need to be better/smarter than everyone, i'm quite content with just being myself. It really wouldn't bother me, if other people had access to the same data as me. It would sure as hell cut down on arguements. And, to an extent people already have access to the same data as me (i.e. the books i've read, the movies i've seen, the webpages i've visited) BTW, what does a neual interface have to do with common sense, or intuition for that matter, are you suggesting that humans would feed their thoughts to computers that would then process the data for us and send the result back. Because I was imagineing a system that would compliment our OWN thinking (i.e. instant access to all the information avalible on a certain subject). Not supplement it/think for us.

thats not off topic i was just thinking the same thing, lol
First of all that was supposed to be joke, second i was being a devils advocate, third get a since of humor man! :) lighten up

it's just an inocent suggestion
Yea, is it just me or did the batmobile get slightly gayer.
OHHHHHHH! I thought Microsoft wrote a driver that caused DVDs to explode in to flying shards of plastic.
