I doubt you agree with those who find Copyright basically amoral, but how do you feel about developing new business models instead of bullheadedly sticking to the old ones(as the music industry seems to be doing). Once the movie industry angrily fought the video recorder (the US supreme court almost outlawed it), then someone woke up and started selling prerecorded tapes and the industry made a bundle. Now we can see, in Europe at least, the the music industry is making a fortune selling ringtones to mobile phones (in Europe you pay to call someone, not to recieve a call so just about everybody from 7 to 90 has one) - Spock believes there are always possiblities - do you agree?
Well of course it wasn't, this isn't the sort of attack that a small malicious party can pull off.
Except it is, as has been documented elsewhere.
NATO spent a month bombing the power grid & computer networks in Yugoslavia, but they never managed to do much more than bring a city like Belgrade down for a few hours before power was restored.
Not only weren't there any red crosses painted on the relevant buildings, but those system were european;)
how would you propose securing a million of miles of power lines and a million switching stations affordably?
Appeal to the people! Go on TV, tell me that this and that station is under protected, and urge patriotic citizens to stand regular guard next to it! There! Problem solved.
Well, that's where my money is, based on history. "Terrorists" want to evoke terror. No, its the fulfillment of their goals. The most recent ones want US troops out of their homelands.
Right now, on planet earth, there is a black marked for human "spare part", in many of the poor countries people are selling parts of their anatomy the can do without. They are desperate and need the money, and people with little conscience buy and sell.
This is step in the scenario Larry Niven writes about in his books. As human skill increases, so does the ability to transplant human organs, and so the demand increases. In the end in his worlds humans when you have a death penalty its a waste of a good body to shove them in the group. So they start using the bodies of dead prisoners. The death sentence spreads to more and more regions on the planet. And the death penalty because the penalty for more and more crimes, because hey, its your own fault for doing it, right? Run a red light? Off with the head. And the organ leggers just kidnap and kill the poor bums in the street, nobody misses them right?
Of course eventually human ingenuity becomes so advanced they can clone or build replacements and the reign of Organ Leggers is over.
Hm... I don't recall that. I remembr that flyboy from second season had a hologram thingy, but it seemed to just project into thin air. The one in SeaQuest was more "realistic" since the air was quite full of... whatever it was they where blowing:)
Observation involves information exchange, meaning both observer and observed are linked by the observation into one physical system. That is the real reason that an observer modifies the observed system: by observing it they become a part of it.
So wether or not you look at the girl through the security cam affects what she is doing. Yeah right.
but the Bloomberg radio commentary did mention, the EU seems to be financing its budget deficit by imposing fines, which makes the fairness of the whole process a little questionable.

Blowing stuff up and killing lots of people is much simpler and does a much better job of terrorising the population.
But will it compell them to remove their soldiers from the other guys homeland? News at eleven.
they'll have to pay for licenses for the new software at the same time.
So get software without amoral licenses - ie, free.
you can get nearly infinite undo
A paragraphs worth is should suffice.
Publish to text, then we can all read it.
This was anticipated in the Web Specs which since 1992 have clearly said that clicking on a GET link creates no form of binding contract.
Ahh, but did all the companies click on the "Agree" button on that page?

And be sure to send in Hillary Rosen first!
I won't have to read it then, Tried before always got a headache.

When you pay 60-70% tax that bloodywell is HIGH!
And there are cuts all over europe, if you haven't seen that you are fucking blind!
Go back to playing with your I-Tool stupid kid.
surely my windows 98 installation filled 500 mb or something like that? And it fit on a 680mb CD ?? What is the brilliant thing here?

... remember that? They projected a hologram on what look like a stream of vapor from the celing - very clever, even if looks a bit crappy *G*

Sounds more like lible.
Tax rates in the EU are not 'very high'--in fact, they are in line with the rest of the world.
It bloody well is high - show us some proof that its in line with the rest of the world (and even if you could, thats not the same as meaning its low)
For the high taxes paid by US citizens, they continue to see cuts in services and a crumbling safety net.
Much like in europe.
I suggest you check your facts.
Show us yours.
That could mean tax cuts in Europe!
Just like they helped Saddam ;-)
...why people want to understand the invented langauges of Tolkien there is no help for you.
