Of course, Hilton's connection is all you hear about this situation because it involves 1) a famous person and 2) titties, thanks to our starfucker-centric society and media. Just look at the title at the top of this page, for instance!
I love the math they did to come up with this...

"Priced at $12,000, the XS-3900 is a relatively affordable solution for locations that require high-density networks. With all functions in a single device, administrators could see significant cost savings for deployment because multiple power and Ethernet outlets are not needed."
So the savings on 11 ethernet jacks and power sockets are worth a $12,000 price tag?:/
..."Voltron" was just the name the American company came up with when they licensed the Japanese shows. The five-lion show was called "Golion" ("go" being Japanese for "five" - think Speed Racer/Mach Go Go Go). Much like the three Japanese shows that made up "Robotech" over here had nothing to do with each other originally, I think that was the case with the three (though like others have said, only two got shown) were seperate shows originally.
It's been eons since this was on, and eons since I was a serious anime geek, so I could be wrong.
I'm a geek and I snowboard, bike (road and mountain), run, and did a couple of adventure races. So there nyah.:D
Maybe this thing could become like DDR - nerdy combined with physical exercise. Depends on how accurate the GPS is - you could in theory do this in a large parking lot or field, instead of a whole town...
This is yet another case where online usage agreements are being bent and broken. The woman actually forced Yahoo to remove user accounts of another user. Yahoo has also faced some trouble for not releasing email accounts of dead people (particularly a US soldier I can think of) to their families.
Bit of a difference here. In the dead soldier case, the family was trying to get something out of the solder's profile - they wanted access to data they couldn't get to.
In this gal's case, she was trying to get the stuff in the profile removed - not to get copies, not to get anything out of it.
They could get Hamill/Fisher/Ford to reprise their roles, now that they're older... set the third troika about, oh say, twenty years down the road after "Jedi"?
The interval between the counter changing is waaaaay too regular. You would think it would skip a number sometimes, but it's a steady uptick by one, at a steady interval...
Good laugh. All they need to do it walk in and LOOK at it. Duh.
Beyond that - what's to stop a rival company's agent from simply purchasing the items in question, taking them back to their employer, where they can be examined thoroughly?:/
...at the Claremont doing the beer-can-crush thing, and that was Blondie. If you don't know who Blondie is... well, you should find out. She's an institution, I tell you.
I remember one night there, batchelor party thing going on... of course Blondie came over because a couple of the folks in the group knew her. (I merely knew "of" her.) She did the beer-can thing (PBR, buck-a-can, baby!), but also she did the bit where she would slide up to her target, face-to-bosom close, grab the targets head with one hand, grab a boob with the other, and just SMASH her boob into the guy's head repeatedly. Then she'd switch hands and do it from the other side. Hilarious to watch.:)
I gave them up cold turkey a couple of years ago. I was spending WAY too much time playing. I'd work all day in front of one computer, and then come home and sit in front of my computer at home playing MMOGs 'til I went to bed. I was living on frozen dinners for the most part - things that I could say "AFK" and take care of in a minute or two (popping it in, taking it out) and then play the game while eating dinner at my desk. Bleh.
Well, it doesn't cost (in theory) millions of dollars to fix some jackass's face after a well-deserved ass-whuppin'.
They're basing the punishment on the (theoritical) cost of the crime. They mentioned the value of the pirated stuff at $50mil. That's quite a lot of money - hence quite a lot of software to be pirating.
What they DON'T really mention, as far as I saw, was whether this guy was putting up stuff for download, or was actually *selling pirated software*. If the former, the punishment should be far far FAR more lenient. But of course, the software lobby wouldn't look at it that way.
Reminds me of Operation Sundevil back in the 80's. Three guys in the Legion of Doom (one of which I met shortly after he got released) got sent to the pokey over that E911 document. The baby bell claimed the document was valued at some ginormous amount - and the way they reached that figure? They counted the costs of all the computers, etc. that were used to create the document. Meaning, if one employee opened that document and made one tiny change, they decided that that document was worth however much it was *plus* the cost of the computer or terminal that was used by that guy. Insane!
There's always risk involved in ventures such as this. Hell, many of humanity's greatest accomplishments have involved great risk. And yet, they happened.
People will lay it on the line for things they believe in. To do otherwise invites stagnation.

Wouldn't that be EMPLOYMENT rate? What with all the gold-farming-and-auctioning sweatshops around? :D

Har.
...if Firefox (or any other browser) were installed with Windows machines by default like IE, said browser's share would be much higher. MUCH higher.
People use what's put in front of them. IE's 90% share doesn't mean it's that much better than the alternatives.
Why would anyone bother when they can get dialup for $10 these days? :P
