I don't see this being a concern for very long; eventually most cell phones will play MP3s straight out (my Nokia 3300 already does this), so you can just start playing the song itself. Worse of all for the labels, this would be completely legal if you got the MP3 legitimately, as you're simply playing it for yourself on a music player.
Don't you think you can both enjoy and work at the same time? A lot of professional athletes out there still love what they do, and professional gaming.. well, I don't see the huge difference from that and a "regular" sport (apart from the obvious).
The difference is professional athletes get paid even if they lose the game. Playing solely for prizes is a much dicier proposition, and I think it stands a good chance of sucking the fun out of your job.
So which is it going to be? Shall we pillory law enforcement and the intelligence community for not anticipating which flights on which days would be turned into guided missiles? OR, shall we now instead beat them more for doing the kind of pro-active investigation that faulted them for not doing before?
How about we look at the information they did have, then come up with the questions? Or do you think they should just get a pass for everything they do or fail to do? Let's be honest, responding to criticism with "the terrorists didn't tell us when, where, and how they were going to attack, otherwise we would have stopped them" puts the speakers intelligence at issue.
Whether you worry or not is your choice. Grow up. We all have to be adults here and face the real world. A world where like it or not, be at peace or not, people are just going to come out of the woodwork and try and kill you.
Oh please. Do some risk assessment. You're more likely to die in a car accident than from people "coming out of the woodwork". You're more likely to die from some non-terrorist with a gun who wants your wallet.
Actually you were right the first time. Corporations do have some "personal" rights enshrined in the Constitution, including (to a certain extent) the freedom of speech. The court takes it different ways when deciding what rights they do and don't have. For example, they've found that the "privileges and immunities" clause of the 14th amendment does apply to corporations, but the "privileges and immunities" clause of article IV does not.
I know it's cool to knock Enterprise, but I've been knocking Berman since long before it was cool.:-) The man just doesn't understand what Roddenberry created
Alright, Roddenberry has always been way overrated. TOS was just a mess in terms of background and continuity, and TNG started out a mess, and got progressively better the less he had control over it. The strength of Star Trek was in the writers he managed to get, not in any creative control or direction he provided.
Actually I've only seen one episode, and don't plan on watching any more, but I rather liked the opening song. A little cheesy, but nothing wrong with that.
TNG, DS9 and Voyager had wonderful symphonic themes
TNG had a wonderful symphonic theme. DS9 and Voyager had flat, boring symphonic themes.
Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't have thrown the emptor in, and yes, erogere, that was actually a typo (in that I tracked down the spelling just to make sure before I wrote it, but still typed it wrong)
Besides, I don't remember enough latin to follow up much more from here, anyway. Shall we call it even?
No, not until I prove I remember less latin than you.
caveat Paypal means "let Paypal be wary". What you were probably looking for is caveatis Paypal(um)
Unless Paypal is the accusative form of Paypal, which you can make the argument for since you don't make the distinction between nominative and accusative in English. Or you can make it easy by making up a latin word for Paypal--maybe ErogereAmicus. So you could say "Caveatis emptor ErogereAmicum".
Though you're just being ostentatious with changing caveat to caveatis;)
Nvidia said it had already won the backing of Far Eastern ODMs
Far Eastern? Isn't that a little bit of a melodramatic term? So we'll start seeing the notebooks with MXM next year, when the Silk Road caravans arrive! Think of the fabulous silks and spices we'll see along with our notebooks!
I really dont see what the big fuss from some politicians about going to Mars. 500 years ago sailors went to the New World (risking their lives) with really no garunteed return on investments.
Well there was a big difference in that the initial investment wasn't really that much in that case. I mean boats were expensive, and hiring men was too, but in relation to Spain's economy as a whole it wasn't that much.
You have to start somewhere. We will do it eventually, why not now?
Because the longer we wait the easier it will get. Especially since NASA seems to finally starting to understand that how much it costs really does matter. Another 20 or 30 years of improvement in computer technology, materials science, and aeronautical engineering will make a huge difference in how we get there.

No, it's Groklaw's First Annual One-Year Anniversary 2004!
But they refuse to look at it as their fault. If they admit they need better people, they're saying that they themselves aren't up to the job. Their egos won't allow that. They'd rather blame Congress for "tying their hands".
I did the same thing, only even more low-tech. We'd take a styrofoam cup covered in tin foil, charge it with static electricity from a van de graf generator, and toss it to the person.
We had it even simpler in NYC public school. We'd shout someone's name, and when they turned around we'd shoot them. Good times.
Applying my rule of never arguing with people holding real machineguns
What are you, a coward?
Sadly, given my never argue rule, I never did get to ask why the in God's name the US Army thought it was intelligent to wear GREEN camoflage in Los Angeles of all places.
I'm surprised they picked a Los Angeles convention center to assault in the first place. The average LA resident would probably return fire when they saw them coming.

What I want to see is a live-action movie based on Bump N' Jump. That would be great.
I wouldn't call Beagle 2 a failure. It didn't accomplish it's scientific goals
In other words it...failed?
The US is not a democracy; it is a representative republic.
The two things are not mutually exclusive. What is so hard for people to understand about that?

Heh. I challenge you to find a 3 character abbreviation that is not taken. I would add "sue me", but these days that is just asking for trouble.

You can tell that Harrison feels like a goon saying that line.
Maybe he's just acting. I mean, Han Solo would feel like a goon saying that.
As for the other intelelgence, we score better then you in literacy and most educational benchmarks.
At least we don't have to live in Canada.

I don't know about that. They do need people like that, but I think they might not know they need people like that.
Pretty funny, but luckily she's from Ireland. If an American did this they'd probably receive a visit from some intelligence goons in short order.
