Perhaps you should visit their web site and see what they are advocating before you make this kind of uninformed statement. Then you might want to see what the IFRRO (of which the Authors Guild is an associate member) is up to, copyright legislations and enforcement wise, on a world wide basis. Last but not least, you may wish to seek help regarding your faciniation with the size of my penis.

These guys know darn well that their desire to control tertiary sales of books goes against the "first sale doctrine" as codified in the revision to the US Copyright Act of 1976. They seem to be seeking DMCA or UCITA type protection for published works. Scary concept at best, and if we don't activly elect representives that oppose this kind of draconian control of information, we will get what we deserve. I should also point out that once that pandora's box is opened, it will be the authors squeeling like stuck pigs when the publishers finish crafting the legislation in ways that allow then to nail the authors in ways similar to the ways the recording industry has been trying to nail the recording artists for the past several years...
Anyone know what the environmental impact would be if one removes some of the kinetic energy from the oceans? I could see it maybe changing shorelines, shifting or destroying habitats, in more extreme cases damaging or destroying reefs, and the most extreme altering the global energy flow that takes place via the undersea currents from the equator to the poles, resulting in global weather pattern changes. Great technology if it doesn't bite us in the ass.

This wasn't my experience with a G200 a few years ago. It pretty much sucked driver wise. I havn't been back for fear of the same kinds of problems.
