I read an article (could it be on keelynet? I can't remember) about how the asteroid belt was formed. A planet in an orbit about where the asteroid belt is was destroyed, sending large pieces of itself down to earth. The interesting thing is that the planet is where life began, and how life got on earth. The Moon is also a product of the destruction of the planet as well.
This is probably all speculation, because I don't remember it having much convincing evidence. Intriguing none the less.
Spin doctors can make a good smokescreen, but all it takes is a good stiff wind to make all their efforts for naught.
Hackers can make a lot of headway in reverse engineering DVD's, but all it takes is a good stiff wind to make all their efforts for naught.
The courts can go either way, in my opinion. There is no telling. I think that it could be surprising, like instead of allowing reverse engineering by the general public, perhapse the courts would require the DVD manufacturers to write drivers for non Windows operating systems.
After reading the article on multimedium, I think that Yahoo!'s lawyers were a bit hasty in their decision to throw a cease and desist at the web site that only had a link, submitted by a user. They did not even contact the author of the site.
It is just one more way to suppress free speech. If a site wants to post links to parody sites, it should be allowed, no matter how much plagerism is involved in the sites it links to. If a company has a problem with a parody site, it should contact the author of the site.

You are going to sue him because you have a disagreement with one of his opinions? If a person is ignorant, he should be educated, not punished.
