Frankly, I'm all for this method of distribution, as I barely watch 'regular' TV anymore.
Well bully for you.
What do you watch, then?
DVDs from the public library. I just want to take this opportunity to thank all of you suck.. er, movie-loving cinema-goers who subsidize my dirty, dirty habit. Thanks!
I say go for it. From my point of view, crap like this is only more incentive for real people to make real "intellectual property" and distribute it as they see fit, e.g. via a Creative Commons license.
Let the rich, spoiled pigopolists push and shove until everyone knows them for what they truly are.
Getting energy to a machine that small is extremely difficult (your body has to basically immerse it's cells in fuel to keep them going).
So what if the nanobots created bodies composed of cells immersed in fuel to, say, turn the world to goo, or become President, or... say, wait a minute!
Get those damn kids off of about.html's grass!! Get outta here, you whippersnappers! Why, when I was your age, we more'd through NSCA logs by hand and we liked it!
g. Gov't could then regulate and tax the sale of all drugs, not just some drugs
Government's job, IMO, is to help us collectively do things that we might not be able do individually, like build roads, protect our safety, find really good weed, etc.
Looks cool, but if they are random icons, and I don't know what in Dorf's name they will take me to, why would clicking on one count as "my vote?" I mean, counting random clicks as "votes" is Diebold's job, isn't it?
Copyright is good when it is in the right hands: those of a work's creator(s). Unfortunately, many artists have been/are being forced to enter the music market through the "loving" hands of the RIAA member companies, where they lose important rights ("voluntarily," of course).
A work's creator, and only the creator, should have full control of the work's copyright for a strictly limited time, after which the work should enter the public domain. This is all just my opinion, and is an awful lot of shoulding, but there it is.
Also, I haven't seen this suggestion here before, but if you want to try out different artists/genres/whatever, and if you live near a half-decent public library system with half-decent interlibrary loan services, you can check out CDs instead of (at the moment) illegally copying them.
This is a great step forward, I welcome our archiving overlords, etc. Right now when I want to share some of my history (the good stuff, natch) with my kids, I have to dig out an old, musty shoebox full of junk. When they want to share theirs with their kids, they'll just beam a URL into my grandkids' in-skull HUDs. While in their flying cars.

Just thought I'd point out that CNT makes a horrible acronym. No wonder materials engineers can't get dates, going on about all the really tight CNTs they're growing in the lab...

Just bang it a couple times!

Does it have a Linux driver? Yeah, Canon, I'm looking at you.
Well, if you look at the little title card thingie here, you can see that Eric Idle is indeed proclaiming to all the world that he is shamelessly ripping himself (and the other Pythons) off. So yeah, ripped off. Never thought I'd link to the Tony Awards site but here I am, doing it.
Just thought I'd mention The Handmaid's Tale is by Margaret Atwood.

Last paragraph of the article:
Hope springs eternal, Sprague said. After the last two "Star Wars" films, "We're all a little beaten down," she said. "But this one could be it!"
"Lucas loves us, he really does! He doesn't mean it when he craps on us! You'll see! This time for sure...!"
Bah, I say, bah!
It's amazing the number of people that feel the need to point out that these stories are jokes.
Come again now?
Me too.

So you're basically guaranteeing us you won't flunk, right? RIGHT?

SEC: ...and 31 cents.
Google: Dammit, anyone got a penny?
AND pools of hydrocarbons! We're setting up a provisional government as I write this!
Xcor Aerospace is not competing in the X-Prize but rather is 'in it to make money'.
Oh I see, they want to make money, not win the prize... which is... money...
Uh..
I just wanted to add an item to your list:

aw, nevermind.

Just my 2 cents worth (for large values of 2).
I had only read through 1,673,233,497 items by last Friday, and now this. I'll never catch up now! Thanks for your "service," Google.
Unfortunately, my good friends Joe & Martha Beer first have to learn about said corporate power grabbing through the media outlets owned by

Probably. Remember, whatever doesn't kill you makes you stranger.
