I would just like to take the time to point out that we have a 3-digit User ID here... So by default he knows what he is talking about.
He remembers the 23 disk A-series of slackware.
Should have landed me in jail a couple of times, at least.
Here's what the MPAA is really after:

FTFY
How can you ever get
What I thought was the most interesting paragraph:
The possibilities of this CPU and generator are... Fascinating. For instance, users players (see, lines are already blurring) can exchange programs, so you can expect a lively scene of people exchanging programs. There's a nefarious side to this as well - Notch will not stop anyone from making viruses, so even computer security becomes an element of play. A virus could, for instance, disable a ship's weaponry or shields.
good EFF'ing luck with that.
You can only collapse one set of zeros, for precisely that reason. I don't remember if it is in the spec that it has to be the first set or not, as either way is unambiguous.
Came for this refrence, and was not disappointed.
Social security is also dependent on the taxpayers paying back all of the IOUs that have been written when government took money from the funds to pay for other projects. But that is often neglected when the government wants to funnel more of your money into large corporations. The government, the banks, and wall street all know that in order for the bubble to continue long enough to get rich, they have to keep feeding the monster. Social security is not the pyramid scheme here, the US version of capitalism is the pyramid scheme.
If you were in the USA, would the deaf boy have prayed for you?
See topic.
"If I understand what communism is, the businesses are actually run and controlled by the government."
No, that's socialism. Communism is where people are all equal in the fact that they all use their specialties and innate talents to contribute to the greater good. In a true communist society, there is no government. There may be people who speak for the group, but it is supposed to be speaking the general consensus.
Of course, as a realist you can see the issue with that, can't you?
What we currently call communist regimes are actually socialist, bordering on fascist. I don't think that the world has seen anything resembling the ideal of communism outside of the hippie communes that dotted the landscape in the 70's, or an abby or something of the sort.
Byte your tongue.
