If you sit two twelve year olds down at a 2 player flash game where you beat each other in the head with hammers, I personally know like 4 kids that would laugh every single time for like 5 minutes and say it's the best game ever made.
Yes, that's the correct pronunciation. My girlfriend's brother is called Ryu and she told me the other night that it means 'dragon'. The same name in mandarin is Long.
If you consider how many millions of dollars companies spend on advertising, the bad press generated by this story would be more than enough to offset the financial gain created by the fines and any reduced piracy.
I hope you're right but I suspect you are not. My feeling is that Joe Sixpack and his family don't mentally associate tyranical RIAA law suits with glossy shrink wrapped Britney albums. People buy into the image of the artists/band rather than the media company behind it and have trouble associating the two.
Moreover, I think the general public view the RIAA organisation as part of the legal industry rather than part of the music industry. As soon as there is a more obvious link on MTV such as artists called 'RIAA Britney' and so on, then we'll see a change in perception. People just aren't interested enough to find out the mechanics of the situation for themselves. Most people probably are not even interested in discussing it.
I think maybe Hell is something like that. A never ending late night, long haul flight with a bunch of kids making loads of noise while all the adults try to sleep.
Hey thanks for taking the time to reply with your insightful/interesting/informative/funny post. Oh, actually no let me read that again. Oops, i misread the first time, actually you're a asstunnel. Nice troll though but no banana for you.

We're still using windows 2000. No problems here...
Pah! I've ordered one of these you insensitive clod!

You should think of joining a book club instead.
Pretty much everything but the coast excluding Orange County and parts of San Diego.
This is confusing. I think we need a Venn diagram I think...
It looks like you're planning an acquisition...
Would you like help?
* Crush the life and soul out of the idea and shelve it.
* Use your new acquisition's IP to bludgeon the competition.
* Add bloatware to Vista.
Sorry, but that has to be the QOTD, made me ROFL.
Good. Be sure to fill out a TPS report.

Didn't Isaac Asimov write some rules about geeks or something? Oh wait..
Moving parts are bad.
My bet is on Liquid Metal. However things get difficult when you open the chassis and find your hard drive is pretending to be your graphics card.
What about stairs? She's going to need some nerf stairs too.
You're forgetting this is the evolution of language. Don't you mean "The fracking fracker's fracking fracked. Frack!"?
In other News: Scientists conclude God doesn't exist after scientists give acid to patients who then have a religious experience.
Bill Hicks would have loved this.

I'll bet that at my listening levels I won't be able to tell a difference.
Out of interest, is that ear tinglingly quiet or neighbour menacingly loud?
They gotta have forms layin' around somewhere, I mean...they are scientists...
like meths drinking for example.
That's not a hobby, it's an art form.

No so bad if you're Gary Glitter...

Also there's nothing worse than flying a red-eye while surrounded by kids playing pokemon at high volume. Victory!
That has to be one of the funniest posts I've ever experienced. You sir are a genious. :)
It's a good thing that RIAA branded music is instantly forgettable then isn't it?
Weird. I did the same thing. I think we're being brainwashed. Tinfoil hat time...
Aren't these people supposed to go through their PR department before they're let loose on the public with their wild rantings?
How they plan to charge $1,740 for 11 inches is beyond me.
My understanding is that he is a very high class kind of guy.
Whereas 'congratulations' and 'boobs' in the same sentence is something that Pamela Anderson is becoming increasingly tired of.
And congratulations to you too for getting from Linux to Pamela Anderson. Albeit via the unusual route of 'boobs'.
