Traditional media make their money from advertising. Along comes viral marketing, that cuts them off from their own cashflow. Who is to say they're not poisoning the ground so that advertisers will turn back to them?
A lawyer should never ask any questions that he doesn't already know the answer to. Unless it's deposition. By asking real questions (that is, asking for the sake of knowing), you surrender control of your cross-examination. IANAL.
In an out-of-character interview, Colbert explains his intention:
"Truthiness is tearing apart our country, and I don't mean the argument over who came up with the word...
It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that's not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything. It's certainty. People love the President because he's certain of his choices as a leader, even if the facts that back him up don't seem to exist. It's the fact that he's certain that is very appealing to a certain section of the country. I really feel a dichotomy in the American populace. What is important? What you want to be true, or what is true?...
Truthiness is 'What I say is right, and [nothing] anyone else says could possibly be true.' It's not only that I feel it to be true, but that I feel it to be true. There's not only an emotional quality, but there's a selfish quality."
Does this mean they are once again open to another suit, by a different set of victims? They could be made to settle again and again until... well until.
Apply high contrast filtering to your OCR and you'll probably see through their CAPTCHA. If they send images with low contrast text then it won't even be legible to human readers.
I think the problem isn't really the date, it's whether we're moving forwards or backwards. Who cares if he's a bit late or not, it's if he's actually going to get there.
Since you've obviously never done anything about the incident, I believe you could say that you've been successfully brainwashed. Congratulations! You couldn't even bring yourself to pursue recompensation then, why should it be any different now?
The prequel and "the Hobbit" are two seperate things. It was always Tolkien's intention to provide the base framework of Middlearth and fill in the details later, either by himself or by a community effort. Problem was that later never came for the man, his final efforts were expended instead on resolving inconsistencies between the different stories told, at the same time altering some to create a more enjoyable outcome (which causes even more inconsistencies to resolve). What we know to be the Silmarillion reads like the bible. It's divided into several distinct parts - each of which can be made into a series of movies by themselves. Add to that the telling of legends and stuff. When I think of a LOTR prequel I'd be going as far back as Akallabeth, not much further.
Wow what flamebait... first of all you don't get canings for chewing gum, that's vandalism. And actually there's stupidity involved in that one too. The guy rattled off to the international press before asking for a presidential pardon, thus burying any chance of settling the issue quietly.
You don't get jail time for chewing gum. You get... nothing actually. Selling gum is illegal, at least it used to be, FTA agreements with the US caused an exception to be made for nicotine gum. Meddling in foreign domestic policy in action...
And speaking of this FTA, I personally feel we got shafted on that one. Thanks to you Americans, filesharing in Singapore is illegal - it's not a civil issue like you guys have, you do hard time in jail for it.
1. Maybe they are looking for evidence that you've solicited their spam. That could be on your hard drive 2. They're trying to pry a settlement out of you. People keep lots of personal stuff on their Hard drives, that's why they don't like giving copies away

I for one would like to know when and where was this "whoosh" thing first used. Was it a movie or something?
Flying naked virgins, flying concrete cannonballs, you really need me to tell you the difference?
Have I got news for you, go try IE7.
Finally, the beowulf cluster I've been waiting for. Now to take over the world!
It's a joke, written by lawyers. My head's about to explode - don't we hate lawyers anymore?
Attach a floppy disk :p
Inside it, put a link to your assignment on Myspace.
Meh, but he's such an unforgiving guy. Hardly someone you'd want to look at, much less talk to.

O'rly? They're already trying to tell you what you can do with the media you create and publish.
You should go watch some BSG then. I thought I was watching the news...
How about on book covers? Do they get his permission to put his mug up on books?
I'd settle for crossover support rather than supporting the game on OSX natively. Less code to manage too.

I found it on wikipedia, you can too.

There is a difference. IT people don't get laid.
Yes, it is significant.

Outlook has a feature that uses Word to compose emails. Just by receiving an email, you could be pwned.

1. Enable file and printer sharing
2. Put up your personal pictures. You, your dog, your girlfriend.
3. Profit?
