Don't be ridiculous! That would only make it difficult for the mathematically-challenged! It should be rounded up to 3.2, as has been proposed before by logical Americans who understand that natural law cannot be allowed to supersede the legal sensibilities of wrong-headed yammerheads!

"NYET! We will no longer allow science to tell us what the laws that govern the universe are! Starting today, it is the law that will govern science!!"

Some liar (read: "lawyer") went full-retard and tried to sue the internet, and now he's butthurt that the entire 'net knows he's an idiot? And he feels like someone just ran over his dog because people are running away from him, just in case the stupid is catching?

Ha.

Haha.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

*gasp*

Oh teh irony is killing me!

It's yogurt made from the secretions of the evil tofudebeest.

I think... I feel good about it.

I still miss WordPerfect every time I open MS Word.

The first image that popped in my head was some lawyer or pretend-human working for the Fuck-You-AA jumping up and down in joy shouting, "Two thousand two hundred fifty per song? That's chickenshit compared to this! If we can get each case bumped up to 50 years in jail and four million dollars, minimum, just like this, we can get whole slews of these filthy downloaders offing themselves! Problem solved!"

The sad thing is that greed, whether for fame, notoriety, or recognition, or even just for money -- and who's to say that any or all of those might have figured in the case of the prosecutor here -- has gone unchecked and allowed to run rampant for a long long time. Lawrence Lessig cites that "...we live in a world where the architects of the financial crisis regularly dine at the White House..." Increasingly, it's become more and more commonplace, and perhaps even acceptable, for supposed infringers -- more often than not people who have no access to expensive legal support -- to be punished so harshly that it makes no sense, without regard to any actual form of "justice." If not acceptance, then this behavior has so far generated only apathy.

In this case, I think "bureaucrazy" is entirely appropriate.

...does one lug around a ton and a half of bacon? And without stopping somewhere and just gorging on the stuff?

So has anyone else noticed that "Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activities" and "Pain In The Ass" have the same starting letters if you turn them into acronyms?

Aww, I feel for you, I really do. It just doesn't change the fact that you're an idiot. A superannuated idiot, for sure, but then idiocy like yours knows no boundaries of sex, age, or race.

From reading the article, apparently even deselecting automatic updates isn't enough, because part of the constantly-updating TOS reads:

Nah, idiots like you are always wrong. You can't even spell Paracelsus' name right.

Wow, did someone rewrite the laws of physics as regards the chemical properties of solid water when I wasn't looking? Goddamn, that must mean that comets don't actually exist, because they are, after all, agglomerations of dust, rock, and... wow, look at that! ice, totally exposed to the vacuum of space, and couldn't possibly survive long enough for our obviously ignorant, non-creationist "scientists" to observe them and catalog four thousand one hundred and eighty-five of them.

And I guess Jupiter's moon Europa is shot, too, because it's just so much ice and rock at what might as well be the partial vacuum of 0.1 Pa. It's incredible that our ignorant, non-creationist astronomers can still see it in their telescopes, considering that ice evaporates in a vacuum. Wow, they must have such incredible imaginations!

Only if you define "religiot" as someone who follows a religion. :P
