Comment Re:Not at all. I've had a house built. (Score 1) 317

That's nothing. Whoever built the wall that exists between my office and the dining room left inside a leather dog collar and a half-dozen pork (I think) rib bones.

We've also found a cast iron floor lamp inside of a wall, as well as several hundred copies of the Saturday Evening Post that are positively impossible to drill through.

Pez dispensers seem so...basic.

Those aren't pork bones!

Dog collar.. animal bones.. hmmm.

Look closely at that pizza box -- it trumpets...

Comment Better idea? (Score 1) 507

Instead of outright pulling the plug, what if each participant in the blackout (google, amazon, etc.) put up a page with a few paragraphs of information and a required captcha-like set of questions the user had to answer to proceed? The information/questions would be relevant to SOPA, copyright, etc.

That way, the black out could extend for longer than a day (if need be), and there would still be a way for users to use the services after a bit of education. This would educate the ignorant to the level of stupidity (or corruption) of our politicians for even considering this legislation.

That's roughly 70 movies at home before it breaks even. It also gave me the luxury of watching TV, or playing video games on it.. It's hooked to a cheap PC with DVI output, so we can even watch via Netflix, Hulu, or whatever.

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa... 70 movies! Yikes. I have kids and I think we go to the movies a lot. I think we see maybe 15 a year. So about 5 years before break even? I'm not saying the movie experience is awesome, though my kids don't notice any of the things you are complaining about. I do, but hey, if the kids like it, then it's a win. Of course, I can't wait for the Alamo Draft house to make its way to my area...

We should create "corporate jails" that "hold" corporations. So there's no longer the excuse of not throwing the corporation in jail. When the corp is in jail, it forfeits freedoms just like regular people would.

Of course the law of unintended consequences means they'll also get free internet, health-care and whatnot. That could work out pretty good for Amazon.
