Just so we're clear, the record industry peeps have no ears, and their fingers are in their ears, while their heads are up their asses, all the while humming a tune that's to a different drummer, AND screaming "mine mine mine!"?
Do you really think the media thinks every hurricane is going to be the big one, or do you think it's more like they're putting in their predictions for this being the big one, so that if/when it does go big, they can say "see, you heard it here first, folks! we said it was gonna be big 6 months before it showed up on NOAA's radar..."?
Because of a seemingly "pro-microsoft" stance this may show, but why are people and the government so up in arms about the monopoly that Microsoft has when absolutely NOTHING is being done about broadband ISPs, phone companies, oil companies (well we all know the answer to that one) and the RIAA/MPAA?
I don't know what you're talking about when you say "nothin is being done". There are countless posts on this very website in which people complain about each and every one of those things you mention. What more do you want?
I feel qualified to chime in here. As someone who used to work 4 day workweeks, I got all kinds of shit done on. I had a whole extra day to do what I wanted to do.

i'm surprised it's taken so long for someone to point this out.

Is this my cue to call you a f***tard?
It would appear so.
I aim to please.
google is a great search engine, i've found all kinds of stuff there.
Never mind, by 2009 I should have a decent product.
And if it takes you three years to get it to market what with patents, copyrights, advertising, then you'll be rolling by 2012.
oh crap, nevermind.
...and slashdot quietly announces it to the world.
Or would you prefer I be arrested for this non-threatening action?
Arrest would probably be too extreme. A good tasering might do the trick, though.

Talented folks, these deformed **ia people...
yeah, apparently reading the first few words of the summary is above some...
Good point; i forgot about that.

...unless you own some slaves, that is.

What the hell kind of spelling mistake is that? Come on editors, at least READ the edited summary...

You must be new here.
Meh, it involves cars and technology, isn't that all that matters?

I think GP meant that after your 100th robbery, they become less of a deal.

a red stapler, a flashlight, and some bug spray.
sorry if that was unclear. i was making a joke, since the ggp post was somewhat circular. my "this post is untrue" was referring to itself.
if it's true, then it makes it untrue, which makes it true, etc...
sort of like "there's a hole in the bucket..."
this post is untrue.
I did the math.

That way you can never be sued
Need I remind you how, *ahem*, flexible the US legal system is?
Flexible like a rubber hose, you mean?
