Consumers don't like copy protection because it means they're buying stuff that is designed to break. You can't listen to your music if you buy the wrong player. You can't watch your movie if you're not using a certain cable. If the DVD doesn't like your equipment you'll get a fuzzy picture. If your CD gets a scratch you can't use your bookkeeping program. If you lose your code wheel you can't play your game. If you upgrade your computer you can't use your old programs or access your old files.
As a 14 year old I was quite aware of what would be involved with a train changing tracks, but that is because I actually had studied trains and was consciously aware of the physics involved in their movement. Someone who was focused on the field of electronics might not have considered the physical effects of tons of material being jerked sideways. More NASCAR, fewer video games.
If I wanted to get information beyond the border without It being noticed, a partitioned MP3 player HD hiding an encrypted volume.
It is the job of Customs agents to consider the possibility of smuggling, and finding a secret compartment of any kind will certainly attract attention even if it's only full of your traveler's checks. And we who aren't smugglers don't need to give either the smugglers nor Customs agents any suggestions on how to do their jobs; they both already know more about their work than we do.
Do other game servers degrade more gracefully? As the original journal entry asked, such as by allowing anonymous unrated games if the online identities are not available?
"When batteries are installed in a device, they are not considered spare batteries."
I think I'll build a device which holds batteries. It will tell you the weight of the contained batteries. So you'll be able to follow the rules for installed batteries as well as the weight limit on installed batteries.
The Phoenix lander is already headed to Mars. It wasn't designed to study an impact site, but we can be sure the mission group will be making interesting decisions if an impact takes place.
Actually, with cheap enough electricity you can make hydrocarbon fuels from various materials. So one can still have the high energy content of hydrocarbon fuels in your vehicle's tank but not be dependent upon mineral fuels. Think of an electrically-powered hydrocarbon conversion plant as being a more efficient energy storage method than present batteries.

Does the EcoDisc work in car CD slots? Some people will check if there's music also on the disc.

The preceding apparently is someone unaware of the regulations trying to keep pest-friendly California from acquiring or exporting any more pests. "More than 33.5 million vehicles were monitored at the California border agricultural inspection stations in the 2000 calendar year..."

You don't want to put the top back on the mountain; you need the flat land without shadows for the solar farms.
And start by teaching them the proper use of the apostrophe.
When you wait for two hours before getting 3 people in a game which requires 8 people, and the matchmaking times out after a few minutes... it's down.
One difference is that the atmospheric shock wave on Mars is expected to knock down many fewer trees than an impact on Earth would.

Unfortunately, the map created by one of their crazy taxi drivers was of New York City. The only taxi drivers still at home are their sane ones.
Well, first just buy the Time Travel Theory and then build your time machine.
So you know that 1 and 1 is not 2.

This is wonderful news for those needing to search improbable research. We'll be able to almost read their almost results.

It was an AskSlashdot session which was full of the worst possible examples.
Also, implying that we're safe because that blast is far away merely means that we haven't seen what is coming. We do have to get out of our nest.
Allow me to introduce you to Lake Superior. Just watch out for the gales of November.
