wow, it's amazing that the note didn't made it to prime-time news here... Actually it's not that amazing taking into account that the TV Network behind that show has a vast amount of media handling power.
Thanks for the link, I was able to find a few more articles discussing that with the information there (nothing in any "big" newspaper though) =/
Do you have a link to that? I live in Mexico and never heard anything about someone dying in an TV show alcohol drinking contest, and google didn't return anything either, sounds like just another urban legend to me (the TV show related death, no the fact that you can die from alcohol poisoning;)
-Oh the mirrors? They were fine until some fucker started playing baseball near one of them and crooked one. Now I've got a freaking mutant baby guy named Kuato glued to my side. On the plus side, we've got three breasted hookers now.
Are parents supposed to act like little police states, spying on their kids at every moment?
No, a little discipline and the teaching of principles may be a good start. Not trying to be self-righteous here, but with parenting being replaced by videogames, TV shows and the internet it's no mystery why many of today's kids have lost their moral ground.
reader comment: I hate to be put in the position of trying to defend an onerous license... but the excerpt you posted on BoingBoing is a little misleading. It continues, "...The foregoing license granted by you terminates once you remove or delete a User Submission from the YouTube Website."
That last little bit is pretty important. It means that if you remove the work from the YouTube site, they have to stop using your work. So there is some protection for users who have uploaded original content. If YouTube were to sublicense your content to an advertising agency, for example, and you were to remove the content--thus revoking the grant under the terms of the agreement--then the agency's license would be revoked as well. That's not really a tenable situation for advertisers or businesses, who are unlikely to sublicense content with such strings attached.
So it looks like a good old case of incendiary, tabloid-like, pseudo-journalism to me. Nothing to see here people, move along.
To melt together the surface grains at the speed of a lunar rover is going to require several megawatts of continuous power.
Actually, 1.24 gigawatts are required to melt moon grains, the real problem is that if the pilot speeds up too much the vehicle tends to disappear leaving a trail of scorched moon dust.
It may not be a real "bonus" for the actual buyer of the newspaper, but it _may_ help the younger audiences pick it up and become interested in reading news, I'm not saying every kid in every household will be interested in actual events just because of the inclusion of manga in the newspapers, but maybe some of them will realize they are not as boring as they may seem and start becoming aware of what's happening around them.
I really doubt the guys at PA needed all that extra readers to make a 10K donation, their site has a huge fan base built with years of witty and humorous comics and news comments, and besides that, they hold an annual charity event called Child's Play, which brings about 500K in donations every year. This was just to sting Jack Thompson's pride a bit.

What about Baz Zynga?

Sorry about that, it should be:
If the people who requests the papers actually read them there would be no need for a randomly generated essay detector.
Yeah, yeah, I will hit preview the next time...

Don't forget about people who buy computers with Windows Pre-Installed. That's got to be the biggest market for Microsoft.
Actually they'll use all those rootkit infected CDs to put them to sleep.
Now you just need a transparent cat
Man those D&D games are getting complicated!
Oh... nevermind
What about envy, lying and swearing?

I'd love to but my brain hurts after trying to guess out what your point was...

Clearly he should write a paper about it
