Or not. Or better they just wanted something they can control, and not really regulated in detail.
Here is an example (theoretical):
Coke: 200 Cal Fat Free Milk: 90 Cal
Clear labeling? Nope.
Coke: 100 ml Fat Free Milk: 1 Cup
Which has more calories per volume, and how many times does the Coke have? Good luck. Beter carry your calculator.

Fat is a major source of calories, but human body won't function without it. But Saturated fat converts into cholesterol, so yopu better whatch that one. Transfat lowers your good cholesterol, making a bad situation worse. Unsaturated fat is as far as this excersice goes is the healtiest one. Guess what, on the labels these are the only rows:
Fat (total of all kind): XX g
Saturated Fat: XX g
Unsaturated Fat: XX g
That is it. The really unhealthy component is NOT listed...
That is the food labeling that the food industry has wanted...
Your naivite needs to be addressed, while I am not even a paranoid person, I can think of 2 ways where they can go after you:
1. Get all your credit card info. When was the last time when you used cash (money order, etc) for your Internet purchases? Do not kid yourself, the banks would happily submit your finincial transactions to IRS for audit at the first request...
2. Carnivore. Nobody know what it is capable of. Would be trivial to monitor all e-commerce transactions if needed. SSL is not that secure...
It means that Microsoft will "embrace and extend" the EU, by buying up 50% of its countries. They can make some good deals on the enlargement counties. The Balkan and Baltic ones can be had for 5-10% of the microsoft hedge cash pile...
Ha, ha. Apple will be the first one to implement DRM. It will also successfully hype it as a DRM and all Apple fans will be proud of this! At least that is the trend I percieve...
I managed to cram all palettes into the main window. It is actully as intuitive as Photoshop's way of handling it, without the Duck/Undock menu entries. Just grab the palette title (might look like folder tabs if placed on top of ach other) and drop it where you want it. When you drag the last one out the window disappears. If you drop it in the middle of nothing it creates a window. Thos funny little widgets in the main winows allow you to partition the window into sections, which serve as separate drop targets. You can create new partitions and get rid of them. All simple as a pie.

According to them, when you purchase those songs you legally own them in Russia. Buying it from outside of Russia means that you are importing those songs. Usually laws differ for importing it commercially or for personal use (not for resale). The US law says that you can import music legally for personal use, as long as you don't import multiple copies of the same music piece (even on multiple trips). However it is clear from the text of the law that it was written with the intention of regulating physical importation of the music on media. (See amazon.com, where US residens can buy legally imported foreign CDs). However importing it via the Internet, the law might or might not apply. We would not know until after it has been tested in a court of law... It is clear that it is in the best interest of RIAA to shut down this kind of importation (they have tried to sue allofmp3 in Russia, however got nowhere, since it is all according to the laws of the land). They will probably try to A) sue allofmp3 users if they see a chance of winning (might even do it without the chance of winning, just to inflict pain and fear and confusion, they can spend the money, end users are not in the same disposable income category, ie. $100-$500 mil) B) coerce Internet gateways to block intercontinental access to these sites (there is always workaround for that, ie. proxy)
This is all my opinion, and based on my own shoddy research, take it with a grain of salt, on the rocks, shaken and mashed...
That is a really faulty argument. Some government agencies purely consist of paranoid people. Those people can out-paranoid (by mass paranoia) any paranoid which can be found in the wild (outside of the agency or agencies) and they even get paid for it and get paranoia training at paranoia seminars to keep them on top of their game...

No, I think they should be called pet lamas. To ensure open-source quality.
I had this idea after reading Eric Raymond's "Luxury of Ignorance".
At absolute minimum all open-source projects should have (pet) lamas assigned to them, and a continuously rotating basis (to prevent tainting them with knowledge) and their whining should be taken as the word of authority...
Well I by my CDs at $13-$12. Small premium over the iTunes store.
Also music tends to be more available on CDs than in iTunes. I can buy all Thievery Co. label's CDs online (amanzon, or eslmusic) but iTunes only has 30-40% of their CDs. And the obscure end of my music taste is completely missing from iTunes (it is not Apple's fault though).
I did buy a few tunes from them, and of course I burnt it. Quality is OK, but you can tell the CD vs. AAC if you use a decent audio setup.
But one thing, though. I have but some CDs, waay back then before Napster for a song, and dicovered at first lisening that it had a lot of filler songs. But in 50-60% of the time, with more listening I actually grew to like those tracks, and I fancy them now, also for the fact that they have broadened my music taste ever so slightly. Moby's Play album would be the example.
On the other hand to this day I still skip the (otherwise universally favoured) Pulp Fiction Soundtrack's #6...
Well the definition of debt is that YOU have to pay it back. Not to you.
Anyway, I think you might be actually right in that the US gov is in debt towards its own populace, not to "foreign" (or alian as the INS burocracy favors) powers. But who knows?
Some things to consider
on
Quieting Your G5?
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
1. Active Noise Cancelling
Stick a microphone close to the source of the noise. Substract [*] this from you voice mic.
[*] Non-trivial substraction, as it needs scaling, possibly frequency-dependent. However the goal is not elimination, but rather reduction, so You can just use some sound editor's correlation coefficient, and ignor the frequency dependeny.
2. 5V (7V) etc your fans. This likely to A) void warranty B) reduce the life of you system (but it will be obsolete before that anyway). See Zalman fanmate for an off-the shelp component to solve this.
3. Move your computer to a separate room. A cabinet would not do, since the cooling relies on the availablity of fresh air. A closed space will heat up, regardless of size. The size only controls the speed of warming up...
4. Get a PC. I know you hate me know, but there are some really well designed PC cases that can muffle a 3.6 GHz P4. (See Zalman for a completely fanless P4 case. $4K !)
5. Get a Cube for terminal and use athe G5 as server off-room.
6. Use mufflers. Ie. boxes that allow air through, but have a maze-like interior with sound-dampening coating. Place G5 inside one of these, and air goes in, but noise doesn't come out (as much).
But would you say that there is no phb around at MS even if you take into account - just like all good cartoon characters - the phb is a "satirical" exaggeration of a real world character-type, or even an amalgam of several real world types..
