What these kind of organisations would say if pirating were to totally dissappear and they still kept "losing" money.
I would venture a guess that they would make claims that the distinct lack of piracy is causing them to lose money. After making those initial claims, I bet they would start a campaign to sue people who purchase large ammounts of albums legally from their local music stores. Once they sue and ruin their most loyal customers, they will revert to their "piracy bad" statements and start the whole process over again.
It doesn't seem to be rocket science. Do we need a breakthrough in glue technology? Can't they screw them on?
Two Words: **Duct Tape** Of course, since this is a specialized application which is subjected to demanding conditions, maybe Gaffer's Tape would be better suited for this repair.

They will be able to go far enough to take a pee break, grab a beer (read: a Space Brewski, or Tang), and make a decent sandwich. In ideal conditions, they won't even miss the big game.
what would squirrels walk on if there weren't above-ground power lines?
From my squirrel observations, I would assume they would walk on wooden fences, grass (lawns), tree limbs, my bird feeder... just to name a few. I think it would be safe to assume that if squirrels ever learn how to surf the web, they would visit squirrels.org.
3. If you can hear thunder, Thor missed you. This time.
No. A more correct version would be "3. If you can hear thunder, Chuck Norris can roundhouse kick you in the head. Of course, he always can roundhouse kick you in the head, anyways."
And this information is useful because we are always using our mobile phones out in thunderstorms.
Hey, look at how many golfers and fishermen get struck by lightning every year even though they should know better.
A few lightning facts that need to be stated:
1. Lightning strikes can occur on any day, even in the absence of clouds. 2. Lightning can strike 10 miles away from a thunderstorm. 3. If you can hear thunder, you are in range to be struck by lightning. 4. Contrary to popular notion, there is no 'safe' location outdoors to take shelter from lightning, although your car will offer some protection (read: its a crude faraday cage) provided that you do not come in contact with any metal object. 5. If you are on your cell phone talking to your friends and lightning strikes in the general area, causing you to scream like a little girl and soil yourself, and your friends hear it, they will not let you live that down for quite awhile. Doubly so if it is captured on video.
While FTP is nice for file storage, it has no security. Someone else has already recommended SCP. I like to use SSH-FS when I need security and want the remote server to appear like it is local.
You can do what FEMA does on their Independent Study Program - after you sumbit information, they display on the confirmation page something to the effect of "Users of Hotmail, Yahoo... please add the following address to your whitelist."
Can they really legally say, "Welp, even though it's your personal data, we reserve the right to do whatever we want with it if it benefits us or our partners." ?
I am not a lawyer, but from what I have seen on the web, it is perfectly ok and legal provided they don't include "Nyah, Nyah Nyah, Nyah Nyah.", "Neener Neener, or "Smoochy Boochy" at the end of the policy.
Now, if they'd just get rid of Ballmer, the company might actually be going places.
If they get rid of Ballmer, the Developers, Developers, Developers, Developers... would be missing a cheerleader. On the plus side, the chairs would be safe.
You have to remember, musicians are poor feeble minded creatures who are lured into dark corners by executives in suits to sign their filthy contracts. They shouldn't be expected to prove their talent up front and build up capital and resources like the rest of us, they're special.
In the Unix System Administration Handbook, Evi Nemeth has this to say about daemons:
"Many people equate the word ``daemon'' with the word ``demon,'' implying some kind of Satanic connection between UNIX and the underworld. This is an egregious misunderstanding. ``Daemon'' is actually a much older form of ``demon''; daemons have no particular bias towards good or evil, but rather serve to help define a person's character or personality. The ancient Greeks' concept of a ``personal daemon'' was similar to the modern concept of a ``guardian angel'' --- ``eudaemonia'' is the state of being helped or protected by a kindly spirit. As a rule, UNIX systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons." (p403)

I'm still waiting for a new relavant Chuck Norris fact or an "All your base" tie in for this article.

Of course, then there is a question of Christmas of what year.

I seriously recommend carting around all of these Linux powered toasters and BSD powered blenders with a Amiga powered SUV.
Geez, I guess it is a sign of the times, however, I have had and worked with teachers and librarians who have changed the world and kicked down doors.
The most notable teacher I worked with had DoJ training and was a damn good security officer at the Mensa convention. She was a special ed teacher.

I don't think so. I searched using the term 'bullshit' and I was able to access virtually every result.
Kinda like college students.
Ok, I messed up. I admit that I misread Wikipedia and barfed out bad information.
Sorry.
