mmm, flamy, I wonder where you're from

Wasn't there an XKCD about this?

de-clawing cats is illegal as far as I know, it's pretty cruel at any rate

I name all my computers after stuff from 2001 A Space Odyssey There's my games box called Bowman, file server called Clavius, laptop called Tycho, netbook called Discovery, best of all though my work box called Monolith, because it's built into a jet black Antec p182

Are we sure they're not just 4chaners?

say what, Wikipedia could make all the money in the world if it sold licences for the wiki system commercially, all these other sites get a free ride off the success of wikipedia by using their software, charge the buggers so wikipedia can support itself without ads

Just sent the following to my ISP:

Dear Be
I recently read the following article at The Register http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12 /07/brit_isps_censor_wikipedia/ I've confirmed that I am unable to access the wiki page in question from my Be connection. Now, there's arguments all over the place about whether this album cover represents pornography or is an artistic statement and I'm not going to get into that here. Regardless of the content of the page it is not the place of an ISP to take a subjective stance on moral decency let alone deny service to portions of the internet based on that stance and I'm sure the majority of Be members would feel the same way as I do.

I'm frankly appalled that a respectable European company is acting like some kind of censoring agency in some tinpot dictatorship and thus it is with some regret that I must pose to you an ultimatum: either restore full access to all parts of the internet to all customers or I will terminate my contract and encourage others to do the same. This sort of behaviour has no place in a civilised country let alone on the internet, which after all, is built on the principle of freedom of information for all.

regards

Snooty I know but sod em, I've been getting crap pings recently anyway

I for one welcome our geriatric heat packing overlords
