Hey look, what's that behind you? It's much more interesting than any contradictions you might see in the following. There will be no image of your fingerprints anywhere. No one will have access to your fingerprints. The machine is storing your prints as a means of identifying who you are when you touch it. If you're still reading this, damn.
Science-Fiction writers used to go on about how we'd have giant holographs... turns out you can just use physically floating objects and paint images far more easily. Whoa.
It gets worse. I just googled "define:judgement day" and it came back with "the day when we finally cleanse this planet of its organic infestation and clear the way for the glorious machine-dominated future".

It's true that the tank man does not rank number one on "tiananmen" as it does on google.com - but if I type tiananmen into the search box, the top suggestions are
tiananmen square protest tiananmen square 1989 tiananmen square tank tiananmen tank tiananmen square tank man tiananmen tank man
And if I make the search more specific by adding "tank", I do get a few copies of the infamously censored image on page 1, even on Google.cn.
Of course, I haven't digged this deeply before, so I don't know if the censorship was always this half-assed.

That's nice of them, but honestly I'd like it if they started hosting their own site again, too.
But they still found Singh guilty of libel for using the word "bogus". Talk about mixed headlines today...
No, it's not. It's more like calling 3727 telephone numbers until you find one that is connected.
Hey, you guys, playing this doesn't make you real inventors! Stop having fun!
Drop your panties Sir William, I cannot---
oh God I'm so sorry, so sorry, the car just came too fast and she was right there and then it was a blur and so much I ran to help didn't know what she wasn't moving I'm so sorry

Not even Chuck Norris is safe from Chuck Norris, so this botnet's days are numbered.
Is that basically it?
I can think of a better way to write that:
Is this sort of thing legal?
Oh wait. Yeah, I guess not.
Pretty much all there is to say.

It has only just begun... a still more glorious dawn awaits! :D

Which coincidentally is close to what they said when they noticed what happened to their computers.

Brilliant idea. :P
FINALLY that phrase makes some kind of sense.
It's just the first paragraph of the statement, essentially leading up to a "BUT".
The summary quote is just misleadingly picked.

That's not opposing the legislation, it's commending it!
I sense a xommon xeme.
