Software Developer Beats Pirate in Boxing Ring 347
utki writes "The Moscow Times is reporting that the chief software architect at Russian software developer
Cognitive Technologies, Andrei Smirnov, recently won a boxing match organized between himself and a software pirate he caught selling bootlegged software CD's at a Moscow market. At last, a practical and entertaining model for dealing with software piracy (MPAA and RIAA take note), and perhaps a useful way to channel Steve Ballmer's aggression too."

Come to think of it, after seeing "Dance Monkey Boy," I see that his kung fu is quite strong. I doubt though that he could defend against my Iron Developer Technique!

Software pirate - Probably very pale and skinny due to skipping meals and time outside in order hack or organize pirated playlists. Resulting low vitamin intake can affect durability. Small target. Hyped up on caffeine. +5 to defense, +7 to speed, -10 to HP, -4 to strength. Levels up 20% faster due to time spent playing Fight Night on modded Xbox.
Software designer - Tends to be larger due to snacking on the job. Caffeine adds no bonus (addicted). Large mass can offer several advantages. -4 to defense, -10 to speed, +10 to HP, +6 to strength. Can invoke Putrid Socks of Nonwashing.

A horde of thugs storms into a police building, wearing hoodies, lots of bling, and Mercedes-Benz pendants...
Thug 1: Officer! Of-fic-cer!
Clerk looks up, eyes the gang
Clerk: Yes, what can I do for you?
Thug 1: We need to pop a cap in each other's asses, yo.
Clerk: Ah, yes. I see. Okay, everyone needs to fill out form Gee Emm One Three Dash Twenty-Three and sign this weaver.
Thug 2: I ain't signin' no beaver!
Clerk: No beavers here, son.
Thug 2: I ain't seein' no women here!
Clerk gets annoyed.
Clerk: Son, if you want to fuck with me, you need to fill out form Gee Tee Eff Out Pronto. Now take this pen, sign here, here, here, and here. You guys can then pass through here and go into our backyard. Enjoy your battle and don't try to kill to many people.
The thugs start walking
Clerk: Oh, I forgot to tell you that'll cost you 100 bucks for each of you.
Thugs turn around
Clerk: Sorry, it's an administrative fee.
Thugs turn to themselves, huddle together, then suddenly one of them throws a bundle of money at the clerk.
Clerk: Thanks.
