Teleconferencing equipment, actual telco charges, tech support... I think this actually opens up a new can of worms when it comes to actually billing the client.
The court is expected to cost $250,000 to $500,000.
Makes you wonder what kind of system they'll be running, and who would set it up for them. Seems like a great place for open source, but something about that $500,000 makes me think otherwise...
I do agree with several of your points, however, I object to your last paragraph. A person cannot selectively choose what belongs and doesn't on the internet. Although fully accesible, open journals do have big caveats, which you well pointed out, if people know about the risk they're taking, the fact that anyone can read it, and the fact that whatever they write could come back to haunt them (although i don't really think online journals are valid as evidence...), if they want to keep them, go right ahead. The rest of us can just keep a daily vi journal...
I'd say yes, but then again maybe it was just two isolated examples. I went to school in the US(with a DARE program) for two years before moving back here to Brazil, where we have none. Drug (ab)use here both surprises and sort of horrifies me. Weed has been accepted as "normal", and although yes it is less addicting than crack and less "harmful", it's still a drug! Binge drinking is also a problem; now, I don't know if it's just two isolated examples, but apparently it does help. Having said that, participation in DARE gave you 2 'community service' hours which was really the reason most people joined, but to compensate for that there were random drug tests periodically...was this just the school or is it part of DARE? anyway just my 2 cents.

I've always wondered about this:
Could different people see a thing, and know it is, let's say, red, but in fact be seeing a different colour? It's a concept i find hard to explain to other people but basically I'm wondering if two different people could perceive a colour of the same name in two different ways? Has anyone else wondered about this, or is it just impossible and I should stop wondering?
would be Travis, who won Best New Band and Best Album at the Brit Awards and who are just now breaking into the States. The article here is full of quotes like "I don't care(about free online music distribution)," Fran(Healy, lead singer) says. "Music should be free. I don't give a damn." Hopefully more bands will take that stance, or a similar one. Online distribution didn't keep the Travis album from going platinum several times over and topping the UK charts. Just my 2 cents.
Re:Check out the movie also

Anyone who managed to sit through the flying rocketmen scene without laughing is amazing... i think the movie fails for two reasons 1) makes some decisions *for* you 2) it's old(ish) visuals etc undermine the overall effectiveness of the book, making it a bit too childish at times or simply ridiculous at others.
Hm... good point. It made me think though...am i the only one who sees something wrong with the government subsidizing and indirectly funding several large corporations, who then use this money to develop technologies that they restrict/patent/lock away? Remember that companies serve the governenment in a way (it's in the gov't best interest that it's countries' corporations lead their respective fields, provide them with income through taxes, and, supposedly, ultimately serve for the good of the people) It just doesn't seem right to me, but i could be wrong.
When Unreal 1 was huge, i remember constantly checking their page for a new patch, to fix the bugs in what was a game with great potential. This seems to be epic shooting themselves in the foot again, especially considering their main rivals are ever-expanding their linux compatibility. Let's hope they considering supporting more API's, or they risk excluding just what others are embracing.
