OK......
Firstly, the world and its arsehole is full of people who believe they can accurately predict future events. The sensible amongst us point and laugh at such people.
Yet academics of whatever level right here on BoingBoing are now suggesting that TH WY W SPK can be predicted THSND YRS N from the globalised 21th century.

!WLD Y GT FCKNG GRP, PPL!

Think about what a well educated high class male from 11th Century England could say about life in 21st Century Australia and you've got some understanding of how *inane* this exercise is.

None of you can credibly say what *shape* we'll be in a thousand years.

S0^P>T!TW^NK, I say.

Yeah I agree with Kashmir Kong above.
Until I see more about this lawsuit I refuse to make a judgement on the case.

If Devo were genuinely Punk (like, say, "Crass") then I wouldn't doubt for a second that the case had merit. Otherwise.... show me the money, yeah?

That RTÉ story mentions Dublin City libraries providing free wifi but
I want to make a small point about that.
Yeah, they sort of provide free wifi but it's censored and censored by morons who most likely just switch on the software and leave it.
Any url with 'blog' in it is blocked. Deviantart.com (for nice photos and poetry 'n' stuff) is blocked presumably because of the name and surprise surprise, so is BoingBoing.
Also SEGoodies.com is too but I've no idea why. I kind of like that site :(
