Microsoft already ignored the exsistance of PDF before by creating their own.PDF files (Package Definition Files (now SMS)). As if they hadn't noticed the the Adobe PDF-files (that were around for ages already).
The reason they're hard to catch is that for legal action, money and time is required. There has to be a real prove to have VISA lock you out. Otherwise a smart spammer could spam around your URL, and you'd be in trouble. So just whois records won't do.
Also, what about foreign spammers using foreign hosting-companies and banks. They're not likely to stop spamming.
As the number of hotmail accounts is so big, a brute force spam-attact might work pretty well. However this would mean their spamfilter is pretty worthless.
That's simply not true, except for DNS the Internet does not depend on the USA. The DNS root-servers can easily be relocated and the internet keeps on running. The rest of the world is very well connected, the 'portals' you mention are mainly important for the traffic in the USA itself.
The point I was trying to make is that there is no way for a nation to shut off the internet. We've seen the USA's reaction to blocking Google, are they likely to do the same thing themselves?
Well show us how good the training is by answering the question here.
I will then in turn, send a mail to your boss telling himhow good you are and not to sack you. That's us having the answer, and you not losing your job.
But the Dutch PTT does[DUTCH]. In the link KPN states that it will not start providing wireless networks any time soon. It's mentioned that they may still remember the failure of Kermit (Greenpoint), what in my opinion mainly failed because it was only meant for outgoing calls, and most antenna's were placed near (on top off) public phones.
Another reason not to provide the service will be the big investment KPN made in UMTS-licenses, and their recent introduction of i-Mode.
What I was trying to say was; OK, this may be a setback for P2P piracy, but I won't really help. There will soon be some technical (maybe moderated indeed) way out of these noise-mp3's.
Kazaa was in negotiation with BUMA/Stemra about a services where users would pay for the music.
However, the day AFTER the RIAA sued Kazaa BUMA decided to stop all negotiations with Kazaa. Probably the RIAA told them to. That's why BUMA can now be forced to talk with Kazaa again.
The authorities in the Netherlands (and the rest of europe) are affraid the music industry is shutting down Kazaa (and others) in order to be the only one able to sell music trough the internet. (We all know the RIAA isn't like that;)

I guess they will surrender again this time.
It _is_ omniweb, however the screendump is not this new release. See http://www.neooffice.org/ for more details.

It's nice to know, as some of you sometimes forget, that the USA do not own the internet (and Al Gore didn't invent it).
So the Internet will continue to exist, and it will be hard for the US to block (censor) it's contents.
As I assume it needs to decode the mp3's in order to convert them, so you'll still have to pay :(
We'd better get started converting right now.

Win-win-mac situation here!
The SACD logo can be seen as a 'S' and a 'P' for Sony and Philips when turned right. They both worked on it.

From what I understand, the plan is to get all CD's to become SACD's asap. Then after you own about 25 of these disks you'll be more willing to buy a SACD-player. Or they might just start selling SACD-only disks.

We, over in europe, will be more than willing to take over your analog bigscreen-TV's at a unreasonable low price.

Someone could set up www.MP3-MD5checksum.com (supposedly to check your MP3-encoder), this will make sure you have downloaded exactly the MP3 you need.
I always thought the UvA Computermuseum was over here.
I think Apple can sell their iPod as a firewire hard-disk, if they change the software.
So the question is: will all devices that CAN be used as a MP3-player be taxed (Pocket-PC devices etc.)?
How about a MP3-player that comes with no memory of it's own.
That is not correct!
