  on Royal Family Bans Satirical Coverage Of The Big Wedding
  Using video is one of many ways to create satire. I'm sure not everyone will be limited by this. And who says you have to use their video?
  
  Perhaps some enterprising soul will spend some time on xtranormal...

  on DailyDirt: Mind And Body Interactions

  Guessing something right 53% of the time doesn't sound like ESP.

  Hey, that's 1% better than Smooth Jimmy Apollo!

  on There's An Entire Conference About Trying To 'Protect' Content?
  Perhaps they believe that by not implementing DRM, they will end up "living" in a "van", "DOWN BY THE RIVER!"

  Perhaps they couldn't get the copyright on a photo for him.

  on Technology Blamed For Bad Grammar Despite Total Lack Of Causal Evidence
  The high rate of science and engineering students is something I was not aware of at Windsor.
  
  I'm surprised the failure rate wasn't higher! As an engineering student (not at Windsor), I was often amazed at the grammar mistakes some of my classmates would make.

  on F1 Racing Looks To Embrace The Internet, Rather Than Fight It
  F1 has had a long history of threatening internet sites and people using F1 or Formula 1 in just about any saying. For a current example, The Grand Prix Weekly podcast was known as F1 Weekly until they sent the lawyers after them.
  
  F1 doesn't even have an HD television feed. For a sport that has spends so much money on technology, their coverage is just terrible.
  
  I hope these new owners can move F1 in the right direction but they will have a tough time doing it.

  (Hey, it's a honour to be on the watch list. It means we are not caving in to US BS.)

  
  
  Actually, it means we haven't caved...for now.

  Save the Children? (as Lincoln)

  on 10 Years Of V-Chip: Utter Failure
  I love the review idea but I see a problem. Does taking laws off the books "save the children"?
  
  FWIW, I do not plan to use the V-chip, etc., as a substitute for raising my child.

  on Canadian Writers Guild Demanding ISPs Pay For Content Creation; Pissing Off Members
  Excuse me? Last time I checked, radio and television in the 70's was a lot different than the Internet today.
  
  Among other things, the barrier to entry on the internet is negligible, while it was (and still is) very difficult to break into the music business regardless of how good the content is.
  
  The CanCon rules had a significant effect for the better in my opinion but applying them to the Internet today would be a complete and utter disaster. I am absolutely sick of these people who think they should be able to regulate my access to content from other countries.
