"The defendant once watched a movie at a friends house and he didn't own a copy of it. The majority of the movie is now physically and biochemically stored in his brain. Therefor, he is technically in possession of copyrighted materials and by describing a scene in the movie to another friend, thus sharing it, he is violating some 1200 (exaggeration) copyright laws." - At this point, I am honestly waiting for the day this article is published.

Submission + - European Parliament votes down Internet porn ban (dailydot.com)

An anonymous reader writes: The European Parliament passed a proposal Tuesday which included a blanket ban on pornography, including Internet porn, in European Union member states.

However, Members of European Parliament (MEPs) removed explanatory wording from the porn ban section, essentially limiting the ban to advertising and print media.

The proposal "Eliminating gender stereotypes in the EU" was put to a vote in Strasbourg. MEPs passed it 368-159.

and you fail.

Programming is all about solving problems and you can't sort out your own monitor. Might be a good time to find a new profession. I program on my laptop screen and have the browser open in the full hd monitor. I also have a standard mouse attached because touch pads are irritating to me.

Getting a second opinion from someone more experienced is not good problem solving? Well, I'll be sure to keep that in mind next time I feel like wasting company time and money!

Submission + - Ask Slashdot - Monitor setup for programmers

oxidus60659 writes: I currently work as a programmer for a small business. They have provided me with a laptop and a 27" BenQ monitor on a Neo-Flex stand. The problem is that my main screen is the tiny laptop right in front of me. The 27" monitor is on the left at a very different height position. I want to put the 27" monitor directly above my laptop so I'm looking UP rather than to the LEFT for all my coding on the bigger monitor. The stand does not have a high enough setting to accommodate this.

What would be a good stand that can mount to a desk high enough to be above a laptop? What kind of monitor setup do you use when programming?
