The names were blacked out. When you viewed it on a fast computer, the black block would black out the text so quickly that you couldn't tell that there was any text there. Some guy happened to open the doc on a really pokey machine and could see the black blocks being painted in over the names and realized that they really did not take out the names, they just put a block over them.

Actually, I've recently been wondering about something similar. At all these health clubs, there are people using resistance machines to build up their muscles. All the work they do on the machines is going to waste as heat. And then I'm sure at least some part of the building is air-conditioned. It may sound rather strange, but what about a power-generating gym where you have all these people coming in to work out on your generator exercizing machines. At the very least, they could save on some of the power by using the electricity created by the people to run the air conditioning.
However, this idea would likely be shot down when the generators are designed because the cost of buying all the generators and then savings off the electricity bill would probably simply even out and it would just be a good-feeling thing. Like, you could spend just as much money at the power-generating gym as you would at the normal power-wasting gym but you would get a good feeling that the energy expended during your workout went to good use rather than simply being expended as heat.
Then again, maybe the generators wouldn't be all that expensive and these actually do exist.
(Just imagine: riding a bicycle creates electricity that can be used to run an air-conditioner that cools you as you ride. There will still be energy lost somewhere, but that would at least be better than running the AC on a coal-burning generator.)

No, 2600 still owns FuckGeneralMotors.com and FordReallySucks.com. So, this might give them a leg up on the FordReallySucks.com site, but who knows about FuckGeneralMotors.com.
Ford sued 2600 for redirecting visitors of FuckGeneralMotors.com to Ford.com. Apparently visitors to the site might think that Ford is trying to harm GM. Ford's customers are stupid, I guess. They even have the transcript available on their website. However, the case is still pending.
According to Emanual Goldstein (aka Cereal Killer;-) ), that the judge denied Ford an injunction on 2600's use of the domain is a good thing. They apparently don't want to be too heavy-handed.

There was a story a while back that talked about how Titanium is about as cheap as aluminum. Perhaps this would work. Or maybe we'd be better off to push for holographic CDs and DVDs that are only plastic.
I don't think cost would neccesarily be a big deal. Whatever material they use, the data stored with it will probably still be more valuable. For instance, the cost for the gold that it would take to make a gold CD would probably be minimal in comparison to the cost for production and profit. This may be the financial hurt for the RIAA we've been looking for. The RIAA switches to gold and has to lose a couple cents on each CD to keep people buying them. (Nah, they'd just mark them up.)
How about embedding the magnetic bits in the plastic so they can't 'flip' and change their state? Would that even work? Read-only magnetic media?

Rather than DVD, I think you meant CSS. The idea of full-length digital movies on a 5.25" optical disc is good. The idea of protecting copyright with 40-bit encryption (hah! even the weakest web browser has 56-bit) was dumb. And then there's DMCA (the 1201 part) which basically makes up for the weak encryption with a silly law.

The people who the RIAA is fighting for do not own their music. They've sold it to the RIAA for millions and so that is why you don't see the musicians themselves going after Napster/Gnutella/Scour/etc but rather the RIAA. The RIAA is who's losing money, the musicians already have it.
However, I'm not sure what the RIAA would do to the musicians if some people are pirating their music but most are buying it. These musicians are making the RIAA lots of cash. If the RIAA tried to pay them less for a second album to try to make up for losses due to piracy, the musicians might decide that they are big enough now and so they can go somewhere else. Then the RIAA would lose even more.
While I don't particularly like his music, I do admire that Prince (who changed his name to something inpronounceable - and thus the RIAA couldn't own it - until his contract was up) does own all of his music and says that he even makes more of it than he might if he sold it to the RIAA.
For instance, when he was on the Jay Leno show, Jay brought this up. Prince asked Jay how much of each CD he would give to Prince. Jay said about half. So, Prince estimated that the average price of a CD is $20, so he'd get $10 per CD. So, if he sold "just" 3 million copies, he'd make $30M. He compared this to Destiny's Child making $20 and going multiplatinum. From his point of view, they got screwed.
Then again, where would these musicians be without someone to invest millions into their careers? Still singing in a church choir?

I don't think the routers see extensions. I believe what the previous poster meant was that the routers would block the file type by looking at headers and such. Then we would need to come up with a uniform file type such that all the files' headers would look the same and their extensions would be ultimately meaningless. Bzip2? Gzip? CSS? (imagine that!) Of course, then you have the little problem of, how do YOU know what kind of file it is?

It's pretty amazing what can be done with ham radios. Of course, there's audio transmission. But there's also image transmission, amateur television (slow scan television), packet radio (woo! 9600 baud!). And surely more.
While I'm not now a ham, I've recently become a little interested in becoming one. I even checked out what was available at my school's Science and Engineering Library. They had old issues of an amateur radio magazine back to around 1936. And this stuff was first being played with in the early 1900's. It's amazing to me, how, for all the technological advancements and the increase of the flow of information, we really haven't gone as far as one might expect in nearly 100 years. When I look at those magazines from the 40's, I'm thinking "wow, this looks really cool!" and here I am in 2001! over 60 years later!
I mean, sure, I'm here using one of the most widespread information networks in the history of the world, but I would think that, after 100 years of worldwide communication, we might have improved upon the reliability of said communication. While the web is generally fairly reliable, I still think it's rather odd that we still experience outages.
Well, okay, I'll concede this: currently, we're working on digital communications, where as radio is analog. And analog IS a very reliable form of communication (thus, hams are used in times of disaster). I suppose, that after another 40 or 50 years, digital communications will have progressed to the point that they are just as reliable as analog is today.

Perhaps I'm not looking far enough into the future with this idea, but, what if local educational institutions (colleges, universities) sold part of their bandwidth to the surrounding public?
I think it sounds good at first, but, then again, maybe commercializing our universities would be a bad thing. For instance, Local State University has tons of unused bandwidth. So, they decide to sell part of it to the locals. However, nearby Smith University also has some extra bandwidth and decides to make a couple bucks with it. So, LSU and SU fight it out and eventually one has the monopoly and we'd be right back where we started.
However, from my experience, the people that manage the internet access at college seem pretty sane(i.e. "Don't browse porn at 3pm. At 4am when you're all alone in the lab, that's fine."). Though, maybe other people have had worse experiences. (I do remember the story where poorer schools were getting free internet access with banner ads and filters or something like that. Lots of people told stories about how bad their internet access was in college. I was pretty perplexed. To this day, I suppose I don't see how lucky I really am.)

I had thought about this response before, so I was a little prepared for it. I replied with something like "Well, yeah, but it's a very volatile market. What if people just decide that they do not need computers any more? They are not a necessity. It might be better to be in, say, the food industry. People will not up and decide that they do not need food."
All in all, I'm aiming to go into a tech-related field (nearing the end of my second year in a universitypre-ECE program) because I think it will be fun. Sure I might stand to make a sizeable amount of money, that certainly has kept my attention. But even when I was in 5th grade, I had this feeling that I wanted to do something with electronics*.
In order to keep this post ontopic I'd like to say that I agree with the general point of the story (not that I read it, I can just get the gist of it from the post's title:) ). I've learned a lot by 'playing' with computers. I've wasted a lot of time with them and I think I now have a valuable skill. Hopefully someone else will think so, too, heehee:).
*A little anecdote. On a 'career day'-like thing in 5th grade, other people were dressing up as teachers and doctors and sports players ("I want to be a pro-basketball player!"). I just wore some comfortable clothes ('grubbies', you might say). When we were announcing what we were supposed to be dressed as, I said that I didn't know what I wanted to be but I knew it would deal with electronics. I still find it funny to consider that I knew that and now am aiming to enter a College of Electrical Engineering. Not that it matters to you at all...

*A little anecdote. On a 'career day'-like thing in 5th grade, other people were dressing up as teachers and doctors and sports players ("I want to be a pro-basketball player!"). I just wore some comfortable clothes ('grubbies', you might say). When we were announcing what we were supposed to be dressed as, I said that I didn't know what I wanted to be but I knew it would deal with electronics. I still find it funny to consider that I knew that and now am aiming to enter a College of Electrical Engineering. Not that it matters to you at all...
kickin' science like no one else can,
my dick is twice as long as my attention span.
