It makes you wonder what dictionary they’re using.

Jonathan Lamy, chief spokesperson for the RIAA has chimed in to let us know that DRM is dead, kaput, no more and finally no longer endorsed or condoned by the RIAA.
Which reminded me of when the RIAA stated that lawsuits against the consumer were dead, kaput, no more and finally no longer endorsed or condoned by the RIAA.
You can probably use the same grain of salt for both statements.

“Director of Fiction” might be a better title for Larny….. or maybe he’s just saving up for one fine day when he actually tells the truth and totally fucks with our minds.
BTW1: back on the suicide thing….. (not that it’s on my mind or anything…. I just think it’s a coming trend that may deserve entrepreneurial consideration for the cyberworld……. you know?…… how do we come up with the next killer app that that’s truly a killer app?)
BTW2: The guy in DC who got dead last week wasn’t me….. never heard the follow-up on that….. if his purpose was to get dead he got ‘er done…. no style points though.
BTW3: http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2009/07/a-chinese-worker-has-killed-himself-after-a-fourth-generation-iphone-prototype-he-was-responsible-for-disappeared—the-25-y.html?csp=34
This guy is my current reigning suicide champ, with an oak leaf cluster for “Company Man of the Week.” I fear, though, that this is going to become so common that we’ll have to develop standard criteria for awarding style points. I think “bounce” should weigh heavily in the judging.

If you decide to make a business of suicide, you must, without exception make sure that you receive payment prior to your service. This can not be negotiable.
The Chinese are investigating, so I am sure that any actions unbecoming of the Chinese will be reprimanded.

No doubt the Chinese will, erm, disappointed that all this stuff has become so public. I expect this wil blow over fairly quickly as those responsible and knowledgeable of this become disappointed for all eternity.
“This can not be negotiable.”
Of course. It’s a contract deal with guarantees all the way.
Indeed, Kevorkian’s great mistake was in not realizing what he had going. He was much too serious about the whole thing. We gotta get the sales & marketing boys into this and just turn ‘em loose. They’ll love it…… market growth will be enormous!

How about a suicide assistance helpline? These guys make it look easy.
