Could someone please publish a classified ad, perhaps in the NY Times, which says: "I have some copies of Metallica tapes. Call me and I'll give/sell you one". Then sit back and watch the music industry lawyers duke it out w/ the NY Times lawyers.....
If you read the CNN story carefully you will learn:
1.) There was a more dangerous part of this virus which stole passwords.
2.) This part of the virus was removed by the ISP very early after being alerted by a European company.
What this implies, (but which is never stated) is that the ISP must have KNOWINGLY distributed the weaker version of the virus. Why didn't they remove the weak version as well? I find this hard to imagine....perhaps this suggests that some important info is being withheld.
-gnarly.
ps. Here's some quotes from CNN:
The virus also corrupted some files stored on hard drives, particular picture.jpg files and sound.mp3 files. But a second part of the virus, disabled before it could do widespread damage, would have been far more damaging.
[....] Investigators now theorize the virus was actually a scam designed to get the originator free Internet access. When the virus was activated, in addition to destroying files and replicating itself, it accessed a program that would search out login names and passwords, then mail them back to the Love Bug author.
[....] Ayre said a European ISP notified Sky Internet of the virus, and it was quickly disabled. That portion of the virus affected only about 2,000 people worldwide, mostly in Europe and Asia, he said, and the company is in the process of notifying all of those victims.
Sign me up for the cellphone jammer. I want to declare the 100 foot radius around myself to be "cellphone free".
Perhaps one problem is that cellphones use different frequencies, though perhaps all within a certain band. To get around this, perhaps one could build a "reflector" which simply reflects back the incoming waves, BUT with a 180 degree phase shift, which then destructively interferes with the original waves.

Data for the most recent discoveries can be found at an associated webpage at Berkeley: http://astron.berkeley.edu/~gmarcy/planetsearch/hd 46375/hd46375.html
Regarding these new discoveries, it will be important to make sure that the discovered objects are actually members of the Orion GMC, and not more distant objects. Spectroscopic measurements will help to do this. The fate of stars/brown dwarfs/giant planets is determined primarily by their mass: If Mass > 75 jupiters then Hydrogen fusion: Star If 13 > Mass > 75 jupiters then Deuterium fusion: brown dwarf. If Mass less than 13 jupiters then no fusion: planet. At least that's one way to define the terms. The very informative Sci. Am. article mentioned above can be found here If you want to Create your own brown dwarfs, and see what their spectra look like, try this site. -chris
Since it is the Judge's duty to make the court proceedings public, including the evidence, perhaps Judge Elfin will qualify as Doe #499.... Quick, somebody buy him a T-shirt.

Real Goods ( www.realgoods.com) has a variety of solar panels, including one which powers a laptop, so is comparable to the unit featured in the above story. Price is $369.00
Give me a "G"
Give me a "U"
Give me an "I"
Give me an "L"
Give me a "T"
Give me a "Y"
what's that spell? GUILTY!!!!!
Where do I want to go today? I want to go to a
live web camera which shows BG's face when the
verdict is read, can I go there please?

:I assume you meant:
: If 13 < Mass < 75 jupiters then Deuterium fusion: brown dwarf.
Correct. Thanks. I also had trouble w/ the
last "less than" symbol. HTML did something w/ it so I had to just say "less than."

Ok, I registered my domain with DomainMonger now I would like to redirect that domain name to a
webpage I already have set up.
It appears companies like dnscentral.com will
do this for $19/year + $20 setup. (though
they offer lots of other services I don't want)
Any other suggestions including:
1.) Cheap
2.) Good Policies
3.) company which uses free software?
For the moment, I'd rather not set up OpenSRS.
Thank you kindly for your constructive suggestions.

Suppose you chose to have linux installed. Do they also throw in linux software to play the DVDs????
