Whereas it makes me think we just need to hurry up and get off this rock.
In ancient times we used caves as natural shelter because we couldn't build houses. Now we live in houses but use the atmosphere and magnetosphere of one convenient planet as a natural shelter because we can't build habitats off-world.
Sounds likely. It works for now because people aren't prepared for it. Once you identify which IP addresses it is being run from then there'll be a few weeks of disruption before business as usual.
Probably wasn't the smartest thing to announce it either.
The additional irony is that by pointing out the irony that the Pirate Bay's problem could have been reduced if there were a strong copyright system, Orlowski has dramatically raised public awareness of the risk and thus reduced the impact of the issue by more than any copyright system could have managed, so by espousing strong copyright systems he reduces the need for them.
I would argue that never made is a fair description of Highlander 2. It came so close to being made but died in filming and some people took its corpse and stitched the pieces together then gave them a hideous semblance of life with some footage of aliens. This undead abomination was then set loose under the same title.
And as pointed out on the BBC website recently, Freemans' catalogue was terrible for the impossible standards of beauty it forced women to feel the need to measure up to, compared to porn where any body type goes.
5 of them from Blair and Brown's ban-first regime. I thought Liebour were trying to shake the ultra-authoritarian image? First a beer gets removed because someone didn't like the label, now this?
Why do you assume a woman, and an insane one at that, can't be significantly stronger than a man? If she had planned to do this then presumably she'd have picked a man she felt confident that she could overpower.
Agreed, it's focussing on the performers of the major labels. A band such as The Indelicates gets a lot of royalties and will continue to do so, mostly because they kicked the major label scavengers off their field.
I would certainly like the reg to do an article on what to look for and what to look out for. I'm less interested in speed than uptime and a lack of snoopers, which seems paradoxical since the way I read it you're just trading one snooper for another, with the VPN provider knowing your identity and what you're looking at? How good are privacy policies which claim that they won't snoop?
I really don't want the russian mafia reading everything I do online, which is a matter of time at present, what with UK.gov's data retention policies and record on keeping sensitive data out of the hands of criminals. I.e. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-17886548
I looked through it from time to time while working as a security guard to fund my way through university. It was full of people writing things like that politicians were idiots for not realising that things which came from plants never had medicinal properties.
I wonder how many people realise that a big part of the popularity of HHGTTG was driven by the first book being given away free to people who sent off for it? Of course they had already planned on books 2 and 3 and wanted to hook people but cool even so.
My view has always been to get an anonymous account and email people a spoken word mp3 explaining that unless they now render their hard drive unusable they are in violation of the law and subject to [insert punishment list here] so to protect themselves from litigation for possession of the sound data of this mp3 they had better replace their hard drive and hit the old one with a hammer for good measure.
Obviously, you wouldn't want this to go through an electronic scanner for that reason. A pat-down at your workplace would be more what it was designed to get past. Were you female anyway. A man carrying one of these would be a bit obvious.
There should be a fast-track for airport passengers willing to go through the nudie aisle and put all their clothes through the scanner. We should promote this as a less objectionable alternative to the backscatter scanner and watch the hilarity ensue.
Paris Hilton as a specially produced terminator model must travel back in time to seduce the fathers of the team who will one day be the founders of the greatest threat to world peace ever. After castrating each of them with her special equipment, those not paying attention are reminded that the only entity seeking world peace in Terminator films is Skynet and she just banged humanity to death. The End.
The law states that reasonable doubt is enough to acquit. Being dressed like a soldier and acting like a soldier indicates that, barring lifelike representation of a child, there is reasonable doubt that the cartoon figure in question is not a soldier.
This new legislation will provide parents with reassurance that they can leave their children unsupervised at the computer because the nice software is keeping them all safe from everything and that leaves mummy and daddy time to go down the pub because little one is all nice and safe on the internet.
Hentai, obviously, is already censored to avoid showing anything but line drawings, no fleshy bits on show at all and when something does look a bit too much like a penis then they change it to look like something else instead. Granted a few thousand people now have tentacle fixations but it's a small price to pay for a healthy medium.
The British government is pro-hentai. Spread the word.
Then remember: If you're in favour of unaccountable spooks doing searches for teenage boys visiting websites that exist to offer support to alienated gay teens then you too are probably a peado.
After this won't most people be using vpns? Supervpn offers anonymity via the country of your choice from £2.50 per month. Relakks from £3.12 per month etc etc.
Because currently you need a warrant to find out if someone has cancer, but this data can tell you based on whether they visit websites for cancer victims.
Re: Losing the Plot and a Nation........ in a very Peculiar Parliamentary Coup with No Vision
I don't think this will destroy the coalition at all. No, it will be far stronger under the leadership of David Davis who is, after all, the only senior tory who is neither a toff nor pro-snooping.
He already owns the leadership because he won it first-past-the-post in 2005 and we know how much the Tories believe in the sanctity of FPTP. Cameron only stole victory in the third round of an AV-style election.
I saw the wikipedia vandalism claiming again and again that she did anal porn and figured it was Karen Gillan fanboys getting revenge on their beloved's successor.
First because their deep sea footage was always very obviously shot from 20cm below the surface looking up, second because they had a fuel source that would explode if it wasn't kept in a room with a sufficient amount of gold and was incredibly dangerous unless you threw a pen at it, third because they managed to miss a gigantic asteroid until minutes from impact, fourth because fuck it.
Most female wrestlers have implants these days to please the viewers who want to imagine you can have 10% bodyfat and breasts. This is the first example of them causing problems I've heard of, besides a few complaining that certain holds stop them breathing anyway.
They should probably make it more generic, but keep the name because it was named in his honour, shortly after his death a few miles down the road.
Alternatively completely rebrand and let it be known that a memorial had to be torn down because it infringed on a copyright that big business bought up after the death of the person it is a memorial to.

Re: Irony
Three pints says there are already half a dozen tumblr links to the article.
Irony

Good going.

So, reading all of this... am I really the only person to have used bolt cutters to open a beer?
(Though by the second I'd figured that tin snips work better)
Re: To all the "what if it was the other way round" commentards
I can't be bothered going all the way back to the 80s when Senator Rand Paul did it in 2012.
And as pointed out on the BBC website recently, Freemans' catalogue was terrible for the impossible standards of beauty it forced women to feel the need to measure up to, compared to porn where any body type goes.
Amusingly, Monopoly was supposed to show how capitalism is a bad thing. People liked it because it lets you lay waste to London or something.
Only 8 signatures

Re: @Mycho.
Given that she broke them, she probably didn't put them not breaking high on her list of requirements.
Re: To all the "what if it was the other way round" commentards
You know, as recently as the 80s women pressing sexual assault charges were also being condemned for their lack of a sense of humour.
Interesting
Anglian Water claims desalination plants would put the cost of water up by more than ten times. Are we to assume this is bullcrap then?
Re: Reverse the sexes...
Why do you assume a woman, and an insane one at that, can't be significantly stronger than a man? If she had planned to do this then presumably she'd have picked a man she felt confident that she could overpower.
Re: How inappropriate!
You are quite correct. Let me rephrase
Come to our town, you'll be raped by people approaching 50.
Is that less unpleasant to your sensibilities? I still think that being raped is probably a bad thing.
Re: How inappropriate!
"Come to our town, you'll get raped by old people"?
Doesn't quite work.
Re: never a penny of royalties?
Agreed, it's focussing on the performers of the major labels. A band such as The Indelicates gets a lot of royalties and will continue to do so, mostly because they kicked the major label scavengers off their field.

How to get a USB drive past security.
They're just missing one detail.
Take the human aspect out of any kind of sex, remove the other person having feelings and desires of their own, and you're masturbating.
Don't need robots to do that.
This gives me an idea
There should be a fast-track for airport passengers willing to go through the nudie aisle and put all their clothes through the scanner. We should promote this as a less objectionable alternative to the backscatter scanner and watch the hilarity ensue.

Re: Hentai fans will be pleased

Re: Hentai fans will be pleased
That's why they put most of them in military or police uniforms, so you can't assume they're children.
Seriously though, tentacle porn is proof that we don't need what censorship brings us.
A very good idea
Which is why it will never happen.
This new legislation will provide parents with reassurance that they can leave their children unsupervised at the computer because the nice software is keeping them all safe from everything and that leaves mummy and daddy time to go down the pub because little one is all nice and safe on the internet.

Well, except the seasons he spent exiled on earth. Then it was just miniskirted pouting.

City Beneath The Sea
First because their deep sea footage was always very obviously shot from 20cm below the surface looking up, second because they had a fuel source that would explode if it wasn't kept in a room with a sufficient amount of gold and was incredibly dangerous unless you threw a pen at it, third because they managed to miss a gigantic asteroid until minutes from impact, fourth because fuck it.

The facts are confused in this case and I doubt we'll get them now.
If the company indeed asked for just over a fiver a month from the get-go then I don't see an issue. Did they? Dunno. Won't know now.

Re: Fuck Saul Zentz
Yes, they are. They bought the rights to JRRT's stuff.
Interesting pricing structure.
Let's see, films currently on iplayer, I'll check three at random.
First Knight: £1.45 DVD on Amazon including delivery
Tormented: £1.32 DVD on Amazon including delivery
In Search Of The Castaways: £3.25 DVD on Amazon including delivery
£1.89 every time you watch something is looking like a bad deal.
Just to clarify, is it the stories presented which make people aggressive or is it the reminder of how much shit is on television these days?
