Protect IP
I really hope this doesn’t happen. The US government are just making up lies to say Protect IP is about piracy but it’s actually just about what they don’t like. I.e Wikileaks. I’m sorry for speaking for my freedom PLEASE DO NOT TAKE CENSOR THIS DOMAIN NAME!

How to make an ASCII Cow in Terminal
sudo apt-get install cowsay
Then type something like:
cowsay 'Hi I am a weird cow!'
Here’s the result:
cowsay 'Hi I am a weird cow!'
______________________
< Hi I am a weird cow! >
----------------------
\ ^__^
\ (oo)\_______
(__)\ )\/\
||----w |
|| ||
And you can use many other options to make the cow look different. Here’s a few examples:
cowsay -d 'I am tired of eating grass...'
_______________________________
< I am tired of eating grass... >
-------------------------------
\ ^__^
\ (xx)\_______
(__)\ )\/\
U ||----w |
|| ||
or you can also make other animals/shape using the -f option, for example:
cowsay -f sheep 'Uh oh'
_______
< Uh oh >
-------
\
\
__
UooU\.'@@@@@@`.
\__/(@@@@@@@@@@)
(@@@@@@@@)
`YY~~~~YY'
|| ||
To get a list of values for the -f option, just type:
cowsay -l
Note that you can also use cowthink, like that:
cowthink '...interesting'
