"I call for better international laws against piracy, but I admit I've no idea how/if it would work."
KaZaA is just a tool. Sure it's used by many (I'd say most) for downloading copyrighted works. But that doesn't mean we need to make new international laws to ban it. What's next? FTP? HTTP? If copyright holders (mostly the music industry and soon the movie) really want to stop this "theft", they need to take major steps in the right direction to fix the broken relationship they have with consumers.
The music industry can start by not charging $24 for a crap-ass CD with one good song. If CD's were $5 a pop, I'd buy hundreds, not 1 to 5 a year. At least when I only spent $5 on a CD I wouldn't feel like a sucker when there is only one good song.
...and skill of none." You need to pick an area of concentration. Something you want to DO. Be good at ONE or so things and be very good at them, gradually the others will follow. Spending all your time reading books will not make you a good IT worker. On the job training/working in the real world will.
For example, you can buy all the books on bodybuilding you want, covering every exercise and method in the bodybuilding industry. But that won't make you strong... or a bodybuilder. But getting off your ass and applying what you know will.
Sure at first you'll be a novice (or weak body builder) but as time goes on you'll be able to pick up more skills, and have results to keep you going.
A good library is one thing, but getting your ass in gear is more important.
As one of JW I can say with certainty that this is FALSE. Members are not "discouraged from pursuing post secondary education". I myself Went to college along with many other JW's. They do encourage members to dedicate themselves more fully to the full-time preaching work. To be "difellowshiped" means you must have been baptized. This involves you asking to be baptized, were thourly questioned on Bible pricples, and warned for not fallowing them. Your girlfriend knew exactly what she was getting into. No one ever forced another to become a JW. We don't want people in our religion that have doubts or are unclean morally. That's why becomming a JW is allot of work. You don't just "sign up". Our scheduled meeting are usually 3 times a week. (Heb 10:24-25) Someone asked about what's the "144,000"? Rev 7:3-8 speaks of such ones, they are the heavly class that will rule with Jesus. Then Rev 7:9 speaks of a "great crowd" that "no one could count". These are the others that are of the earthly class. The earthly class will live in paradise on earth forever just life God's original plan was, untill Adam and Eve sined. I recommend you ask for a free Bible study from JW's before you start spreading lies. There is never an obligation, no collection, and no can force you todo anything.
I still don't understand how this will stop ripping from the ATAPI drive digitally? How do they stop a perfect copy? A CD is a CD is a CD. There is nothing to stop that. The only devices that will be affected will be CD->(Digital2Analog)->(Analog2Digital)->CDR. Stupid.
When managment starts "fixing" things that are not broken. It's obvious they have to much time on there hands. They should be out getting more business and making the company grow. Not looking for new ways to increase overhead - especially when everything is work fine.
The county of Riverside, CA is already using computers. They have touch screens that people use in the booth. No paper, no puch-cards. Just a computer touch screen.:) Here is the article on the machines.
WinDOS doesn't count. Try that on NT or 2000. Then you'll notice how easy it really is to set up a Linux box. Not to mention the 1 reboot linux needs whereas WinDOS/NT/2000 needs many.
Do new codecs like DIVX weeken your case? For example, now poeple can turn a 4GB DVD movie into a nicely sized 600MB file. Perfect for the average CD or fast Internet connection download. And quality isn't lost (much).
Acording to this article on CNN researchers say everyone has differnent needs. In fact, Vitamins alone are not enough for keeping healthy but may cause problems. Especially if under stress.
For those who are very concerned with Security you should take a look at Mandrake. Depending on the "type" of install you do you can have up to 5 different security levels. The worst being "Welcome crackers" to the top "Paranoid". The Paranoid level is so paranoid that each part of the server is broken into groups and required specific access grants (via users being part of multable groups)for almost everything.. ie cdrom/floppy/sound/different exaeute permisions (/bin/sbin/usr/bin/usr/sbin etc), X, telnet ftp etc... and services are secured very nicly. But what really takes the cake is the logging. Just sitting on IRC I was able to watch my system be scanned, atempted ftp/telnet/ssh etc... Anyway there is alot involved in what Mandrake does for security and I couldn't even begin to give them a "good plug" for ther product... try it for yourself!:)

How many CD's are worth $24? Hell, even $15? Not many.
How many are worth $5 or less? most.
If I'm going to risk paying $15-24 on a CD, I want to be sure it has a ton of good stuff. That happens how offen?

Many people havn't updated NS from the "Every web browser is a server with JAVA" security hole. So I doubt anyone will care.... :(
