Systemd has coalesced with /. beta and has begun rampaging on the Seattle coast line. Fishmongers are running for their lives but have as yet still not dropped a cod!

In that case he is fortunate all he got was a DMCA notice.

IANAL but my understanding is that as long as he isn't charging or selling ad space on the page and all of the artwork was digitally created by him and not copied directly he should be clear from almost any type of legal action since it is for "personal" use. I admit I didn't visit the site so I don't know if these conditions were met. Now if he has the Nintendo logo and Mario is bit for bit identical they can go after him for trademark and trade dress infringement but not copyright as he hasn't "published" anything.

The Shakers have not been doing it for thousands of years.

We should all go to the blood and circuses together

Easy...there need to be enough smart people voting to cancel out the less intelligent folk, which outnumber the smart folk by a wide margin. Dismiss Idiocracy all you want. The future is now and it craves electrolytes!

Do /. readers truly not get idioms?

I thought we were just supposed to use

FFS! The insignificant event was the cold food. The assault was the catastrophic result. It's constant incessant imbecilic exchanges like this that likely led to his meltdown.

I said he crossed a line you stupid git. I also said he was under intense pressure for an extended period and that resulted in his ultimate action. you are the only one here condoning immoral behavior.

As I stated that could be the case as well. I simply choose to believe it was not. As someone who has known more than my fair share of nagging nancy's who's sole purpose in conversing with you is to see how hot under the collar they can get you and the open animosity the network has shown toward Clarkson's past faux pas' I choose to believe they were looking for an opportunity to trip him up and he obliged. You're free to choose what you want to believe as well.

Are you familiar with the term "The straw that broke the camels back"? It is tied to the notion that one seemingly insignificant event caused a catastrophic result. The BBC and the producers had been riding him for a very long time about being "proper" so as not to offend certain groups. This ran counter to what made him so entertaining. He spoke his mind and said what a lot of us would say if we weren't forced to be proper in mixed company. I didn't agree with half the things he said but I usually found what he said to be humorous. None of us know what transpired in the exchange between Clarkson and the producer but I suspect the producer had been goading him prior to this encounter and Clarkson simply snapped. Clarkson's no saint but he's also not petty and I choose to believe there was something deeper going on that led up to this.

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio disagree.

If this is /. then shouldn't we at least be mentioning OSS solutions like OpenHAB in a discussion like this? Which is both open and agnostic.
