I seems the republican party has a corner on poetry (if one remembers the Rumsfeld "known unknowns and unknown unknowns.")

Here is Sarah Palin's goodbye speech as read by William Shatner of Star Trek fame.

I got it

of course... when all of your storage is in "the google or microsoft cloud" and your PC is nothing more than a glorified browser appliance this will not be possible anymore....

*sigh*

Like Kim says - at least I caught the tail end of freedom....

don't mean to be a pessimist. :?

In Russia several major channels dump their TV shows into their official YouTube accounts.

it would be ironic if Russia became a bastion of intellectual freedom.

but I'd welcome it.

Well, at the moment it is. The laws are there, but they officially don't work. For instance, our President Medvedev was seen with an iPhone when iPhones were not yet sold in Russia and thus to use it to talk through Russian cellphone operators you had to install cracked and modified Apple software.
But generally, TV channels are not taking down material from YouTube and, as I've said, dump most of their programms online after they are shown on TV.

What can I say... "LOL Palin" :p

maleek · July 29, 2009, 12:07:50

Maybe I can get Palin to do some poetry over my new ambient?

You never know, unless you try, right?
