  1. Kiwis did it first (well not actual kiwis... duh) on Pigeon Protocol Finds a Practical Purpose · · Score: 1

    Gosh is it 2003 already.

    Waitomo Adventures in New Zealand used pigeons for transporting camera cards approximately 1.571 eons ago.

    This isn't news.

    (I wonder if they still use them? A quick peek didn't show it on their site - only some annoying pop-up flash)

    NB: I'm quite prepared to be proven wrong about the 'first' part - I researched this almost as long as it took to type this in.

  2. Re:does that include on Spain Adds 'Copyright Tax' to Blank Media · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's inversely proportional to sales... If you don't sell many copies, it must be pirates. Hell, if you're unable to make it into the charts you must be suffering, here have some tax.

    Alternatively the government could monitor the piracy sites. High rankings there could mean high pay-outs. Of course piracy would quickly become the new form of marketing then.

    Sigh. The world's crazies haven't increased, they just banded together and got elected... I'm not sure what that says about the 'sane' people that elected them - never mind they'll all be too taxed to do anything about it soon.
