I can't believe the Government would let their remote controlled vehicle system be hooked up to the internet. Dont they realize that if the computers used to do this remote controlling werent hooked up in any way to the internet or a system that is hooked up to the internet there would be no way to hack into the system. Ive never heard of a hacker hacking through air to your computer...
Because the feds are morons. Sure MP3's shouldn't be banned, and problably couldn't be, but we all know how companies and feds deal with things that aren't illegal, but are really really grey (Nintendo thinks emulators are illegal, even though they are perfectly legal. There is nothing wrong with an emulator, but nintendo is still suing people over it. Same thing with sony. They could try the same thing with MP3's. They problably wouldn't get far, but it would scare alot of people off (they would probalbly claim it was a standard made specifically for pirating music or something)).
I'm sorry but your an idiot (don't -1 me yet, I have reasons:)
Have you been to MP3.com? Obviously not. MP3.com is a FREE, PUBLIC DOMAIN MP3 server. Every MP3 on there is there because the creator wanted it to. Looking through the site you see ton's of unknown bands and such there having their MP3's hosted and links to where you can buy their CD's. They are using MP3.com to promote their bands and try to become popular. MP3.com isn't a bunch of known artists work (although there are a few), its unknown ones trying to get known.
Perhaps you should do some research before you run your mouth.
It seems like his MP3.com success was just dumb luck. It's just luck that MP3's took off, and since he had the domain in his possession decided to really make some money off of it. Watch when (hopefully if) MP3's get banned or something, he will disband the site real quick because he can't make any money off of it.
Sure thats all fine, but what will really be an innovation is the cars you drive hooked up to an electric network embedded into the road, or above it. Sure it will cost a hell of alot of money to set up an maintain, but it would provide constant electrical energy to anything driving on it. Sort of like how bumper cars work, just with more power.
Just ignore all of the technical hurdles and its a flawless idea!:)
This is all a conspiracy! They don't have the firewall set up so that the Chinese can't view political things, it so that they can't be running Napster and using up all the expensive bandwidth!
