I recently used HTML Tidy to convert my website from html to xhtml. It works well. After Tidy, I used WDG HTML Validator to verify that the code was correct. (It validates XHTML as well.) If you install your own version of the validator you can more easily check your entire website. This is important if you have a lot of pages.
The music industry is a cartel (basically a monopoly formed by a group of companies). They never needed to listen to the complaints until now. People would complain and still buy. Now there are real market forces at work, not just complaining.
Price cuts are a natural result of market forces. It's just a really big deal when it happens to these folks. If the price continues to come down there will be no reason at all to download music. But the speed of the net will increase and at some point there is no price you would pay in a store when you can download it easier and less costly. Perhaps there is already a program that will download a cd label and jewel case ready to print waiting in hiding somewhere also making buying less likely.
Methods of distribution are changing. There is no way to hold back the tide. It is that simple. This isn't about morality or hurting someone's business. It's about a sea change that is overall beneficial, eventually to all. What is the alternative? Shutting down the Internet?
Using DNA in this manner is an example of how power is increasingly concentrated into the hands of the few by a series of small incremental steps. It's not that this DNA technology is bad, it's the great potential for the abuse of power that is so dangerous.
As far as confronting this concentration of power, something inspiring to watch is how a powerful music industry can be held accountable by the power of just regular folks and their computers. Similarly, the Government Information Awareness program was very inspiring.
the Federal government is already Microsoft's biggest customer."
One wonders how much Bill charged the government for each copy of Windows sold containing NSA_KEY. Perhaps that accounts for the "biggest customer" ranking?
Citizens would only become a threat to the government if the government was deemed fraudulent, as in voter fraud or if the government was behind the 9/11 attacks or if elements of the government were trying to bring about a new world order.
The astronauts knew their wing was damaged because one of them wrote to his brother on earth via email:
"Sen. George Allen, R-Va., said in a televised speech on Tuesday that the brother of Columbia astronaut David Brown disclosed receiving an e-mail from orbit that conveyed the crew's "concern" about the left wing, the Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch reported in Wednesday's paper. According to the report, the senator said Doug Brown, who lives in Virginia, told him his brother's e-mail said the crew had taken a photo of the left wing.
True? Who knows, but the moral of the story is don't believe everything you hear. It stands to reason that anything the CIA wants the public to know is made available for a reason. And likewise everything it doeosn't want people to know is not made available.
The Wachoskis are drawing from elements deeper than religion. They are drawing from the things that inspire religions: archetypes, those structures of the mind (soul) common to all peoples and from which religion springs. They just appear to draw from what we think of as some particular religion. All religions have something good to offer, but never the whole story. And this is good.
The movie industry would make much better movies if they paid closer attention to the language and themes of the ancient Greek tragedies because these stories hit upon some major archetypes.
Bombing your own country seems to be a very successful venture. Have a political goal? Bomb yourself! Makes people reeeeal maleable. Want to create a surveillance state? Bomb yourself and watch it happen.

Imagine a weapon where you capture and fling a iron meteor around the sun and aim it at the country of your enemy.
