JERRY: I've had this condition since I was eleven! I've been in and out of hospitals my whole life. I have no control over it. Doctors have told me that when I feel it, the best thing to do is just release it. Otherwise, I could die.
SECURITY GUARD: Well you're still not allowed.
JERRY: Do you hear what I'm saying to you?! I'm telling you that if I don't go, I could die. Die. Is it worth dying for?
SECURITY GUARD: That's up to you.
JERRY: So you don't care if I die.
SECURITY GUARD: What I care about is the sanitary condition of the parking facility.
JERRY: It was life and death.
SECURITY GUARD: Uh huh.
JERRY: Oh I'm lying. Why would I do it unless I was in mortal danger? I know it's against the law.
SECURITY GUARD: I don't know.
JERRY: Because I could get Uromysitisis poisoning and die. That's why!...Do you think I enjoy living like this?...the shame, the humiliation...You know I have been issued a public urination pass by the city because of my condition. Unfortunately my little brother ran out of the house with it this morning.
Him and his friends are probably peeing all over the place. You want to call the Department of Social Services? Oh, it's Saturday. They're closed today. My luck.
SECURITY GUARD: You can tell the police all about it.
They are not saying you can't record music, they want to: (1) prevent redistribution of recordings onto the Internet, removable media or to other devices
(2) limit searching and automated copying such as by artist or song title so that individual recordings cannot be separated from surrounding content. Not that this is better. They want it to stay on whatever recorded it, and they want you to have to listen to or fast forward through all of it to hear the songs you want.
TFA says:
"The dots' minuscule size, covering less than one-thousandth of the page, along with their color combination of yellow on white, makes them invisible to the naked eye, Crean says. One way to determine if your color laser is applying this tracking process is to shine a blue LED light--say, from a keychain laser flashlight--on your page and use a magnifier."
I for one feel sorry for all those poor 17 year olds who have to wait an extra year to play this game.
I think its pretty ridiculous that these people are making such a big deal over this. Is an 18 year old that much more mature than a 17 year old? How much of a difference did this really make? (other than stores no longer sell it?)

How did you know my password? Damn hackers.
Its the other way around. The google toolbar will be distributed with the Java Run Time.
Its funny because its true. :(
Finally, a good use for this joke. Bravo!!
FTA: Negroponte said the idea is that governments will pay roughly $100 for the laptops and will distribute them for free to students.
Wow, that's how its done?

I helped pay for it. That's something at least.
A little before Halo 2 came out Bungie invited the creators of RvB to preview the game for a week. I would say that means they approve of it.
My company actually gave me an ipod mini today. Granted, it was entirely unrelated, and they gave everyone else one too.
The original post misstated the size. They are much smaller than 1mm.
Yellow on white is difficult to notice when they are that small.
"dots" As in more than one. And it indicates the serial number also.
