I've never seen this bias on CNN. Could you provide some examples, as it seems like moderate corporate news to me. It certainly doesn't rub off as liberal.
IF GM can't really be held responsible for a car muder crime, and you (and I) agree that the gun manufacturer is not responible for a shooting murder crime, then how is it that a man selling modchips can be responsible for a piracy crime?
You could argue you that intent of the chip is for piracy 99% of the time, but the intent of a hangun is killing 100% of the time, so that doesn't pan out.
you enforce it through things like AOL and MSN clients. The RIAA is a business, not a religious group. Which means it deals not in numbers like 0% and 100%, but in gradients. If they can succesfully shut out AOL/MSN users through their client then they may regain 30% of casual pirates as buyers. Thats a major victory for them.
If anything, be happy. They know they can't really shut down Usenet and IRC, all the geek haunts shall be fine.
i believe there are some countries in Europe where you can have a site full of naked 14 year olds legally. If so, then there you go.
14 is horrible horrible kiddy porn in America.
Furthermore, if the site is in some country where it is illegal, like Pakistan, what is the FBI to do if the Pakistani police force just doesn't have time for their crap due to more pressing problems?
Many people like to gamble on sports. These events aren't easily fixed, and online gambling works much better for them.
If you want to call us suckers for betting 11 to win 10 on a sporting event, fine, but online is all about convience. I'd hate to see it shut down completely.
Ah, but the basketball team (especially one as good as Utah) tends to not be representative of the school population. If you will look at the 2002-2003 Utah Utes you will notice that there are only 3 people from Utah, and thus probably little to no Mormons on the basketball team.

I don't know what kind of horribly administrated Windows box you are used to, but my XP box is up for weeks at a time, and could be up much longer if Microsoft designed an OS that could be patched without a reboot. If you want to bitch about something, bitch about that.
hehe. I get the joke, but the guy in the article was talking about other objects besides documents. How cool would it be to send someone a can of Coke via a Tube system slot by your desk. (Nevermind the fizz in the Coke).
I agree with you for the most part. For intstance, if you moved into a house with the cable already hooked up, in my opinion you can go nuts with what they are pumping into your house.
However, if you pay for, say, Basic cable, and sign a contract saying that even though they are pumping it all in, you agree to only use the basic signal, then you are wrong to violate that contract.
If you can manage to get basic cable hooked up without agreeing to any contracts beyond a monthly bill, then the company fucked up, and once again, go nuts.
All the routers, cables and switches we need can be purchased be the government for like 1% of the defense budget. Its just a matter of getting our priorities straight.
BY 2013, we need to have net access (whether wireless or wired) run like a utility rather than a commodity. There is no need to have companies like Sprint trying to make a killing by artifically restricting what really should be a near-limitless resource (bandwidth).

At least you did your homework and went to class. Everquest lost me about a year of college and my GPA has yet to recover.
I'm pretty sure the NES sold in far greater numbers than the PlayStation, though I could be wrong..
well done, my friend.
"reeks"
It's a little like reading NewsMax...
That's a son of a bitch for us liberal Jews in the world...

Let me help you with the connection.

Is Cowboy Bebop the bad guy from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? That was a good cartoon.
Yum yum drink it down.

maybe its just not RPG-enough for him.

Jackass.
BYU is the mormons, jackass. Utah is a state school.

Massive tube systems, like the ones they use in the drive-thrus at banks, to send materials shooting through the building.
I've seen this implemented in some hospitals to move papers and stuff around, it would be cool to see on a larger office building size scale.
ah.. but the way some printer companies are these days, HP is just as likely to sell him a half-full cartridge. :-)

Thats bullshit and you know it. You could start selling half full inkjet cartridges advertised as full, and plenty of honest people would buy them.
forgive my ignorance, but what is the purpose of a "download manager"?
