Napster cannot stay. If Napster were to win, what would happen to the music industry?
Artists would not be able to make sufficient profits, and I'm sure several artists would drop out of the bussiness, and the quality of music would lessen. Napster would ultimately be destroying the industry it was trying to distribute.
This may sound hypocritical coming from a Napster user but I am not against all music piracy, I am against widespread mass piracy. One is a normal and harmless factor, the other is damaging.
Saying that life came from Mars conveniently tucks away the issue of how life started, so no one has to address it, doesn't it? Think about it. Mars has (had) terrible conditions for synthesizing life. It would also have to survive launch into space, travel through it for years, and somehow end up on earth, which would have to be right near Mars at the time, then life on Mars would become completely extinct. The alternative, and logical theory is that life was created on earth and remained there. Use intelligence and you can deduce which one probably happened.

The Newton is now long dead, and it should be given a gracefull funeral. Current Newton Users should move to Palms.
