So, the obvious solution to this is... *drumrull* don't use your real email addy! Now I know they don't accept addresses from yahoo, hotmail, etc.... but I was able to get it to work with some from mail.chek.com.

Ack, that's already happening. My last g/f was a brown belt in Karate... she could have easily w00ped the crap outta me. She actually DID w00p the crap outta my friend...

I don't know what kind of case *YOU'RE* trying to lug around, but I'm thinking that most cases aren't exactly the best idea to be lugging around everywhere. Jolts, jostles, bumps, drops, etc... that would be hell on the insides...

Lawmakers are in office because they want to do things to (in their eyes, and supposedly the eyes of their constituents) help, and they are fairly convinced, probably by the fact that they are elected officials, that they should be the ones to make changes to try to help.
Har har! That was a good one!
Seriously, though. Do you think that they're in office because they want to help out all of us little people? I think a good majority of them are in office for the power and the money. Frankly, I think a lot of them could care less about the kind of laws they're passing, as long as they get reelected and get their 'gifts' from corporations seeking to get laws passed.
For an example, see the tobacco industry. We *KNOW* that smoking leads to cancer (among other things) in people that smoke and also in people that breathe the second-hand smoke. The politicians, if they cared about the little people, would come down HARD on the tobacco companies. Why don't they? The companies give... er... 'presents' to the politicians, and the politicians remember this 'kindness' when it comes time to vote on a bill...

Yes, that's good that they see the need to enhance privacy, but what good does this do us now? Everyone and their mom knows everything about us already... what's the FTC going to do about THAT?
It would be nice if all the companies who had profiles on people would have to ask permission from the people in order to keep their information... but that's not going to happen.

The QikDRIVE8 is compatible with an increasingly wide range of operating systems (OS) ranging from Windows, NT, Linux, Free BSD and Mac, and utilizes these OS's standard SCSI driver installation and management features.
Not sure if that's actually true or just marketing hype, but that's what they claim.

I grew up with my trusty old Commodore 64, so the first language I learned how to proram in was BASIC. I believe that it's a rather good language to start off in, because pretty much everything about it is so simple. Plop your kids down in front of an old version of QuickBasic and give them a Intro to BASIC book from the discount rack... it should be a great introduction for them.

There is a (sort of) browsing function that I use a lot. If you see a person that has a couple of songs from an artist that you do like (or if you see them in a chat room), you can put them on your 'hot list' and view all the songs that they have. Chances are that you'll come across some sonce that you like that you never knew existed.
-- Dr. Eldarion -- It's not what it is, it's something else.
The thing is, they weren't added to anything. Napster didn't say, "Hey, lets put these Metallica MP3s up!", the users who connected to Napster had them and were sharing them.
Using your analogy, it would be like saying that the ISP that a spammer sends mail from is at fault.
-- Dr. Eldarion -- It's not what it is, it's something else.
Not especially suspicious. I've certainly never met anyone who used napster to get music that they couldn't have bought on CD.
Hey, I'm right here.
There are a lot of remixes of songs out there that are pretty much only available on Napster, along with other music (foreign, mostly) that would be near impossible to get any conventional way. They're never at stores, and the only websites that I can find that have them are in Japanese, which doesn't help me much.
If I was able to actually find the CDs, I'd go out and buy them, but I resort to Napster because it's impossible for me to get the music normally.
-- Dr. Eldarion -- It's not what it is, it's something else.
It's like, OK, 'It's January, my name is Napster, or I'm Sean, or whoever the CEO was at the time, we have this service, we would like to know if you are interested in being part of it.' If we'd said Yes, then there's no issue, if we'd said No, then this whole thing would have never
Does anyone else get the impression from this that he has NO CLUE what goes on with Napster?
-- Dr. Eldarion -- It's not what it is, it's something else.
I have found PLENTY of obscure stuff on Napster. If you do one search and it's not there, disconnect, and reconnect. Chances are you'll be on a different server, with different people, and someone there will have the song. If not, do it again. Someone is bound to have it somewhere.
-- Dr. Eldarion -- It's not what it is, it's something else.
Since you seem to think that programmers are all satan worshippers, and it would take someone with programming knowledge to know what "!Christian==Immoral" means, that brings us to the conclusion that you, yourself, are a satan worshipper.
Have a nice day.

Do we really want to create an environment in which every high school student is expected to waste valuable learning and socialization time on a meaningless, tedious job?
It may be valuable learning and socialization time, but how are they going to pay for college or go out and socialize when they have no money? Or do you expect the parents to pay for everything their children want?

Nah, just stick with a CD-based MP3 player. About 200 MP3s/cd is pretty nice, and it's pretty darn cheap. (both the player, and the blank CDs)
Just ordered one yesterday, actually.
