Well in the first place, the idea's shot now. They're going to read this and insert a clause into their "agreement" that nullifies this possibility.
Of course, the far more probable case is that the mp3 files with which they provide programmers will be ones you won't want anyway- spoken words, recordings of broadcasts, and independent artists who agreed to release their songs through this method. You won't be getting your Static X off there, so the question really doesn't apply. Not to attack it, but that's the probable reality.
That's true, but the blame that's put on the poor security should be blame for allowing hackers to do what they did. They shouldn't take the blame for what the hackers did.
How can you possibly say that hackers aren't to blame? Just because someone was careless doesn't mean it's instantly moral to exploit the new weakness and use it for less than acceptable purposes. Hackers are to blame, because they're the ones who did it.
I'm wondering how this shows that politicians in office like to stay there. As far as I know, Clinton is not- nor is he able to be- running for office again. Maybe I'm taking this the wrong way, but I doubt that's the reasoning of the politicians here.
Funny thing, his mentioning the use of a Ford wrench to fix a Ford vehicle. I have a Honda, and many problems require the use of a #5 Honda wrench in order to remedy them.
Of course, the #5 Honda wrench is also known as a dead-blow mallet.
who objects to the EU as a whole. He sees it as a system that gives economic power to large states like Germany and Austria, while smaller nations such as Denmark won't have the influence to help themselves. Because of this, he loves Switzerland (which is a beautiful country anyway) for keeping itself out. Does anyone else have any thoughts in this idea?
Under fire for removing Mystery Science Theater 3000 from their programming lineup, they need a clever way to reintroduce the show without blantantly admitting their bad choice in taking the show out of their schedule.
Enter Tom Servo and Crow, the popular, wisecracking robots from MST3k.
The programmers have the idea to place a show about robots on Comedy Central. On a later date, the 'bots from MST3k will fight it out, sparking a reason to bring the show back onto Comedy Central.
I'm not saying first ladies previously had no influence upon their husbands' doings, but as I pointed out, it became more "out in the open", as you put it. Therefore, it was much more noticeable than in past years.
I realize that we do not directly vote for cabinet positions, Supreme Court justices, etc., but we do so indirectly through our Congressmen. Presidential appointments must be approved by Congress. This is where I have the beef- if Clinton (or any other President) wishes to have his wife play such a large role in his job, then he needs to do it the right way.
In reply to your final query, I have an interest in both fields. I'm not the most knowledgable in either, but I enjoy discussion and learning about each.
One of the biggest turn-offs to politics, the way I see it, is the fact that, at least in the Clinton Administration, people we didn't elect were running things. Case in point: as Smitty825 pointed out, Clinton put his wife in charge of putting together a new health care system. I'd love to see the statistics showing how many voters chose Hillary Clinton to be in the White House. I'm curious how many knew she was even running!
Appointments to offices by the President must be approved by Congress. This has to hold true in all cases.
I'm pretty sure that Sony doesn't need the 20 million dollars. They're doing this for a different reason, to become involved in the battle that's already ensued and that they should rightfully be a part of. Also, since Sony is not an American company, they probably have little need for any American dream.
I'm pretty sure I never:
a) Said the idea was efficient
b) Said the idea was feasable
c) Said that the idea even existed for sure.
The poster to whom I replied said that I had implied a perpetual motion device- an idea that I know is not possible and I also know is not applicable to my first post. I hope this clears up any confusion.
What amazes me is your ability to see a perpetual motion machine when there is none. A perpetual motion machine requires no constant energy input, this one does- electricity. Thanks for making an intelligent (?) contribution.
My dad told me a few years ago about a similar and just as interesting story he'd heard.
Apparently, some guy who owned a fleet of trucks had the idea to use electrolysis to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen, then combust the hydrogen and collect the water again. Really, the only energy used would be the electricity used in the electrolysis reaction and that to trigger the combustion, which, if it could be controlled, wouldn't need more than one spark per use. If anyone knows anything about this or could provide a link to more information, I'd love to read it. My dad went on to say that the guy never got to use his idea because the automakers and gas giants patented the idea before he could implement it in his fleet. It could just be conspiracy theory, but it's interesting just the same.
Another point is that 99.9% (that's an exact figure) of Napster users never see any independent music go onto their computer. For one, they want the popular songs, and for two, they probably don't know the names of independent artists to search for.
Independent music is just not a good excuse for Napster.
I think you might have missed the point. I, for one, was surprised to learn that a similar controversy took place a century ago, that time, regarding sheet music. I don't think this article played out old stuff, I think it actually gave a little more insight into the "Napster craze".
One of the most interesting parts of programming (in my opinion) is that of integrating different pieces of technology. Try having students program a WinAMP controller for their TI calculator and a parallel cable, or something similar.
Also, network and Internet programming would be interesting. I'm not suggesting programming websites, Perl, CGI, or Php, but messaging, chat, and e-mail programs. The nice thing about such a project is its range of difficulty. With VB, a novice student could easily write an e-mail program and learn about a variety of functions.
Probably, the mild abrasives in the toothpaste wear a slight amount of the soft plastic off the CD. This smoothes out the area around a scratch and removes the scratch- or, actually, keeps the scratch and removes the higher areas around it.

Do I even need point out the possibilities opened up to the pranks industry?

I'm admitted not a space buff, but I can't help but wonder:
Wouldn't increased visibility indicate a lesser proximity to viewer? Read: The damn thing's crashing into Earth. I'm nearly positive this is the case.
I know what Comedy Central is doing here.

I, for one, was intrigued to discover that "Linux" is an "operating system", not a popular Peanuts character.
Boy, was my face red when I found that out!
Hell, mail me five dollars and I'll give you directions how to get there.

Don't be silly. Europe doesn't have robots, nor does it have these "guards" you speak of. As far as I know, Europe didn't exist twenty years ago.
Or am I thinking of Nintendo 64.
