Wmcmanus Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 ^^^Brilliant!Especially helpful when you've hanging out with 23 buddies, everyone is drinking the same brand of beer, and have simultaneously finished their last one and thus are thirsty for the next one... don't laugh, it happens!

Dusty Chalk Posted May 6, 2013 Report Posted May 6, 2013 Fostex came out with a penis-silhouette headphone stand. I kind of like it.
Nebby Posted May 7, 2013 Report Posted May 7, 2013 Don't know if any of you folks have been keeping up with the Prenda Law saga, but the sanctions order that Judge Write released is quite a read. Plenty of Star Trek references in the order as well too! http://www.popehat.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/PendaSanctionsOrder.pdf Prenda Law Wikipedia entry Wikipedia blurb regarding Prenda Law: Prenda first came to prominence through the practice of identifying the IP addresses of Internet subscribers who, it claims, downloaded copyrighted X-rated videos. Prenda's alleged practice is to first file federal copyright infringement lawsuits against fictitiously-named "John Doe" defendants, and to then issue subpoenas to the Internet service providers (ISPs) associated with those IP addresses. Once the ISP subscribers are identified, Prenda sends letters to the subscribers accusing them of piracy and threatening a $150,000 statutory penalty. The letters offered to make the case go away for a fee — $4,000 was the price of silence offered to some. The letters said that if the recipient refuses to pay, their name would be entered on a public legal document along with the names of the videos. That is, the recipient would be identified (e.g., to friends, employers, spouse, children, coworkers, etc.) as someone who illegally downloaded specific pornography titles on the internet. The amount demanded is usually less than a typical attorney would charge to defend the case on its merits, so even the completely innocent have a strong incentive to pay what Los Angeles-based U.S. District Judge Otis D. Wright II called an "extortion payment."
