From the HN guidelines:

  Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think a story is spam or off-topic, flag it by clicking on its "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you think a comment is egregious, click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click "flag" at the top.
Also:

  Please resist commenting about being downvoted. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

Isn't that kinda like saying:

Think about it, have YOU ever seen atomic bombs? We've all seen videos, but no real life atomic bombs. They're not real!

Why not go full infinite monkey and do:

  cat /dev/random > /dev/eth0
Now you've simultaneously copyright infringed all the worlds works by sharing them on the internet, AND generated all other works, making it impossible for anyone else to ever not infringe on your work.

Isn't the world a wonderfully messy place?

Re:The FBI files on D. B. Cooper on Saturday November 21, 2015 @12:22AM (#10605762)
Since I had no idea:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper

  D. B. Cooper is a media epithet popularly used to refer to an unidentified man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft in the airspace between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, on November 24, 1971, extorted $200,000 in ransom (equivalent to $1,170,000 in 2015), and parachuted to an uncertain fate.
  Despite an extensive manhunt and an ongoing FBI investigation, the perpetrator has never been located or positively identified.
  The case remains the only unsolved air piracy in American aviation history.

Wolves also returned (naturally I believe) to Denmark last year: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/denmark/112...
