In fact don't these standards sound suspiciously pornish already? Blu-Ray, Blew Ray? And add and a to HD-DVD and you have HD-DVDA. (Double Vaginal Double Anal)

It's also ironic that in providing an example of what irony isn't, you didn't know what it was, proving my over irony policing point.
Why does this actually bother people to the point where they need to worry about it? Right now I'm sitting in a computer lab with about 50 Sun workstations humming along and I have yet to become inconvenienced by them. Apparently they sound like jackhammers to most/.ers, but I just don't get it.
I hate when people contest the use of the word irony. It seems like there is no proper way to use the word anymore, no matter where you try to fit it, someone says, that's not ironic. It's only ironic if...blah blah blah. You know what would be ironic? If the irony police shut the hell up about it.
Where are you going to eat then? I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant where you follow the server.
Oh and what about gas stations? The one I worked for printed the full account number right on the receipt, so I could have taken about 50 or 60 account numbers a day if I really wanted to, not to sure what I'd do with them though.
Because if you steal something, then get caught, you don't get to just pay for whatever you stole. I can't just shoplift something, and then give them the money for the item if I happen to get caught later. Same deal, you steal the movie, you're taking a risk. You get boned it's your own fault.
Don't these people look at any research, or are these just web developers with no actual marketing skills? Simple text based ads have been proven to be more effective than any form of internet advertisement, why do you think Google uses them?
Now I'm as proud as anyone of Lincoln being an Illinoisan myself, but the reason he said this is most likely because the civil war was occuring. He was not some brilliant phlisopher.
How the hell can you have a detailed forecast of something 15 years in the future? Do they employ an army of psychics or what? What does this gain? They're just throwing away money every 5 years.
It's mostly just:
a)Wishful thinking
b)bad extrapolation of current trends
c)propoganda
Don't put your e-mail address on the web anywhere, don't give it to any website. If you have to, get a free account from someone and use that as a junk account. If someone does send you spam, do not click any links contained therein. Once you load the message, you're screwed in that they now know it is an active e-mail account and then they pounce on you like a pack of teenagers at a hooker convention.
The reason there isn't / won't be a space elevator for quite some time is:
1. Still don't have the nanotube technology / aren't sure if proposed nanotube-ceramic matrix can be worked out.
2. Too much crap floating around Earth. You'd be dodging something every couple of minutes.
3. Get a big enough hole to compromise the strength and tear it and you've got no way to get anything / anyone who is on the elevator back. They'll be hurled out into space like a rock in a shepards sling.
We will not populate the universe, ever. We may populate a small section of our own galaxy, with significant technological increases. But intergalactic distances are many orders of magnitude larger than even instellar distances.

The next time this will happen (all 1's) will be Sun, Feb 5th 2322. Hopefully the Unix timestamp will be obsolete by then.

Actually, it would. You would expect the irony police to not shut up, and then they do.

Anyone who relies on social security for anything other than supplemental income is an idiot, plain and simple.
Just for clarification, no one needs any extra reasons to hate the french. We've got plenty, and if we run out, we'll make some up.
Ironic how? I don't see how my handle could be taken as ironic.
Now there will be TWO other ways for them to release about a billion old movies and tv shows...I own about 5 copies of the Star Wars Trilogy as it is.
Whichever one I buy will be the one that loses. *kicks beta max*
More people saw those damn pages from the hoopla over this thing than the cloaking ever caused.
I represent the estate of St. Thomas Aquinas and demand that the NYPL cease and desist the distribution of these materials.

Yes, but can you smell it?
