Wow, that's a really specific allergy. I guess people can be allergic to about anything. But I've never heard of being allergic to a specific metal before.
Reminds me of a episode of "Duckman." Duckman and the gang have car trouble near the nastiest, filthiest, most inbred trailer park ever to grace a red state. As they're talking to the hillbilly, meth-head residents, they keep noticing weird boxes on their TV's. When asked about them, the head hick replies "Oh, those are Nielson boxes--we all gots 'em!"
On the east coast, it became almost impossible to watch. Sometimes an episode would get cut off, pushed back later, or (all too often) just not shown at all. When I bought the DVD's, it was the first time I had seen many of the episodes. At least if you miss a show on a cable channel, you get a chance to catch a show later that night or in the week. On Fox back then, if it didn't air in its one slot, you just didn't get to see it (especially since this was long before Hulu and bittorrent). The most you could hope for was for them to rerun it at some point (and since the reruns got preempted too, there were many Futurama eps that simply NEVER aired on the east coast).
Sorry to be the one to break the bad news, but King of the Hill was actually canceled last year. There may still be some lost eps in the pipeline, though.
I hope the judge makes them Thunderdome for it. I'm willing to bet that, in a life-or-death situation, Steve Jobs sheds his fake human skin and shows his true alien form.
And, as a side benefit for tourists, you should note that American sporting stadiums are, by and large, riot free. So if you get piss drunk, punch the person in front of you, then light your pants on fire and throw them at a player as he's exiting the field; you will likely be arrested. You are only allowed to act this way in Detroit.
A year ago, the thought that there existed a more annoying musical "instrument" than a didgeridoo would have been inconceivable. But the world shocks and amazes me once again.
The reason he "declined" to pursue legal action is because that same story has been around for ages. The Clonus Horror is from the 70's, and there have been numerous similar short stories and novels that pre-date even that. The "world where clones are raised for spare parts" trope is almost as old as the idea of cloning itself.

The antenna isn't the problem. AT&T's crappy network is the problem.
You do realize you're on /. right?
Most die-hards just use that to mellow out the crystal meth high.
You are now about to witness the strength of scientific knowledge...
Straight outta Antarctica?

Arrested Development was overrated. It had some funny moments at the beginning or its run, but that last season was a fucking trainwreck.
Ah, hell no! Don't you run down The Cleveland Show! How many other shows can say that they have David Lynch playing a bit role as a bartender?
Goram Fox never had no business being called a real ruttin' network no way!

And if something like the Playstation 3 had come out 500 years ago, it would have caused cries of "DEMONIC SORCERY!" and led to a witch hunt.
Pshaw! Flimflam! I piss on your silly laws of thermodynamics!

You had field trips?

When a 6'2" tackle who benches 620 and weighs 310lbs of solid muscle tells you he plays football, you don't question it.
Thank God. That's thousands of miles from America.
Obviously, you're right. I mean, what would Apple have to gain from locking down the MacOS anyway...aside from a huge *shitload* of money?
You really think they'll have any choice?
I remember when people were first speculating that the iPad might be locked down. A lot of Apple fans called that FUD too.
Because a) they don't have to, and b) they make more money if they don't.
