The Bittorrent sites weren'y shut down by the government. They were shut down by the lawyers threatening to sue the pants off of the owners. What they did was to threaten a lawsuit and the site owners voluntarily closed up shop. Perfectly legal.
Assuming of course, that pointing out drug dealers in not illegal. Promoting drug sales is illegal in most states, so your act of pointing out the dealers to a prospective customer would be illegal. You wouldn't be charged with dealing drugs, though.
The device sends its key to anyone claiming to forgot theirs? That is a great design. Why wouldn't it only resend the key if it recognized the ID as something it already paired with? \
RTFA. The hackers device tells the other device that it forgot the key. The pairing is deleted. The user has to re-pair the devices if he wants to use them again. The hacker can listen to that second pairing and use the previously discovered techniques to get the key.
Let's say that according to fair use clauses of Copyright law, I can quote 100% of a song for non-commercial purposes. Then I'd only have to have a P2P client that would allow people to upload 100% of the file from you.
No, it's stupid. We can make hypothetical situations all day that would make copying copyrighted materials legal.
Grow lamps start out at about 1000W and go up from there. I don't think there's a whole lot of risk with a 580W power supply. Remember, 580W is peak output and the device only puts that out if you draw that much. Normal use will draw far less power than the 580W.
They were smashed. When people discovered where the landfill was and started hauling them off, they sent steamrollers in to crush them up. Then they poured concrete onto what was left.

Just read The Ultimate History of Video Games. In it Nolan Bushnell credits Ralph Baer with creating the first home video game system, the Magnavox Odyssey. it wasn't "Pong" but it was a ping-pong game. In the book they explain the difference between the games (the ability to put "english" on the ball, the speeding up of the action, etc).
Magnavox had patented the concept of playing electronic games on a TV, and the concept of an electronic ping-pong game. Apparently, according to those involved, the $700K one time fee was a sweetheart deal for Atari. All the newcomers had to pay through the nose.
Also in the book, they explain that Al Alcorn was the engineer who created "Pong", at Nolan's request after he saw and played the Magnavox Odyssey at a trade show.
The book is excellent I highly recommend it for anyone with an interest in the history of video games from the very beginning all the way up to the release of the XBox.
That jackhole Jobs wouldn't even Open Source parts of the OS so that current Newton developers could continue their work. Steve Jobs is the death of dreams...

Since the processor is the same, technically it's not an emulator. You're running the native binaries.
It'd be great to see Winex up and running on OS X. I might switch when that happens.
Honestly, I don't see Apple going x86, because of the whole "think different" attitude.
Apparently you were never privvy to the secret, higher order attitude at Apple "Think Money".

The problem is that you still need to hire competent people to run the operation. Therein lies the problems that LinuxFund had...

What VM are you talking about specifically, and what is this horrible throughput you claim? Cite your sources, please.
More Java FUD.
the law will simply be changed to hold C liable from any illegal material A downloads
And in the process will hold all of the owners of all the routers through which all the data passes equally liable.

Here's an interesting article that I read a few years back about an HF radio network in place in West Africa:

I've read articles about Packet radio talking about getting 9600bps and higher.

There's nothing sexist about looking at an attractive woman for any reason.
It's sexist to fat chicks. They're the ones who always complain about this.

Large?
Wouldn't you be better off buying a *real* laptop?
Of course you would. But it wouldn't be neat.
But we can still dream ..

Someone write a plug-in that deals with RSS feeds the same way as Opera, then the argument is over! We have a winner!
I have no idea what's up with your machines, but I use FF on machines as slow as a p2-266, and I have no such issues.
I've been recommending FF to my clients since pre-1.0 and no one has reported issues similar to yours, FWIW.
