Is The Net At Fault For Illegal Filesharing?
hbean writes: "Laywers for the file sharing programs Morpheus and Grokster are saying that if their client's programs are illegal for sharing copyrighted content, then so are the networks of ISPs that allow users to connect to each other -- check it out here. I wonder if these legal types are ever going to actually blame this on the actual people who are sharing ..."
The moment they do actually grab the people doing the file sharing, slashdot's "stuff wants to be free crowd" will start printing the bumper stickers.
Oh, and, FP for the ACs!
pfft!
Long live His Majesty, Hengist Duval!
Hey Jon Katz:
SUCK IT
Pregnancy is one of the most thrilling and emotional of events for men (oh yeah, and for women too.) In addition to the excitement, there's the stress of choosing a doctor, buying baby stuff (and figuring out how to pay for it), and arguing over names, not to mention coping with morning sickness, in-laws, mood swings, and sex (meaning the gender of the baby-you'll have to give up the other kind).
But never fear: beloved TV dad Alan Thicke is here to help. HOW MEN HAVE BABIES: THE PREGNANT FATHER'S SURVIVAL GUIDE, gathers his personal anecdotes along with those of birth classmates and celebrity friend (including Dave Barry, Kathie Lee Gifford, Cuba Gooding Jr., Wayne Gretzky, Bill Maher, Howie Mandel, Joan Rivers, Ray Romano, Barry Gibb and Vanna White) to guide men on the rocky path through pregnanthood.
HOW MEN HAVE BABIES gives you the lowdown straight from the prenatal trenches including:
Conception- That Deserves a Standing Ovulation
Womb Envy- Accepting the fact that the pop-to-be ranks about 10th on the priority list, right below the nursery decorator.
Recreational Sex vs. Procreational Sex- The heat is on!
Decisions, Decisions- Should you choose Marcus Welby type obstetrician or the one who offers validated parking?
Birth Class- More than you ever wanted to know about uteruses, mucus, and other yucky topics.
The Big Day- It's the bottom of the ninth, the shot clock is running down, and you're running toward the end zone.
In addition to uproarious anecdotes by Ray Romano, Howie Mandel, Cube Gooding Jr., Dave Barry, and other celebrities parents, HOW MEN HAVE BABIES offers real-life advice and expert opinion on the good (Breasts), the bad (Hormones) and the ugly (Can you say birth canal?) of pregnancy from a man's point of view.
