I'm extremely skeptical that the Columbia tunnels connect to the subway tunnels. Please provide a few more details. I, um, i mean my friend spent an awful lot of time looking for the fabled "Broadway Passage" that would connect Columbia to Barnard, and the closest i (i mean he) came was finding a pipe that disappeared into a block of concrete with a sign next to it reading "Sulzberger"
My friend has a very good map of the tunnels. You should email him if you want a copy. See also this excellent site.
Mozilla is an experimental browser. It's not even meant for end users -- that's right, the intent is that end user browsers (Netscape, Galeon, etc) will be built from Mozilla.
It's got bugs. If you want to sacrifice new features in exchange for fewer bugs, download the latest Mozilla 1.0.x release.
I'd say no, because they paid for that copy, and it can only be used by one borrower at a time. If they started handing out photocopies to everyone (like P2P), that'd be stealing from the author.
The problem with this analogy is that in the real world, it's impossible to, say, watch a movie without having an effect on the people around you. You may sit in a seat someone else wanted. You may block part of someone's view. You might spill your soda on the floor.
How about this: You have x-ray vision. Is it immoral to sit in your apartment across the street from the movie theater and watch the movie for free? I don't think it is.
Being at the game yourself and reading about it in the paper are such entirely different experiences
That's irrelevent. Let's refer to the topic i am arguing against: That enjoying something for free that cost someone money to produce is theft of service. Is it freeloading to read about a sporting event in a paper? You're getting enjoyment without supporting the massive operation needed to stage the event.
As soon as someone downloads music that they would have otherwise purchased, there is a theft of the money that would have been paid.
I was going to go see a movie. A friend told me it sucked. I didn't go see it. Was that theft? Meets your definition.
How about if i was going to buy a book, and a friend stopped me on the way to the bookstore to tell me that they already owned the book and could borrow it from them? Again meets your definition.
It is no different from walking into the campus bookstore and in a clandestine manner walking out with a textbook without paying for it.
Actually, it is. It's like going into the campus library whenever you need to read a book, rather than going to the bookstore. Or borrowing the book from your friend. Or, at worst, borrowing the book from a willing friend and then photocopying the chapters you were interested in.
The graphic at the top says that the Oct 22, 1993 particle entered at 09:55:47 and left at 09:56:14. That's 27 seconds.
The article says, "One event occurred on 22 October, 1993, when, according to the researchers, something entered the Earth off Antarctica and left it south of India 0.73 of a second later."
Are we using the same Verizon? I'm bowled over by all the places i get a strong signal -- in many subway stations and the LIRR East River tunnel, as well as most basements and every outdoor location in Manhattan that i've been to.

I don't get it.
I can't seem to find it anywhere. Are you sure?
More info on the Nintendo World Championship ROM available here.
Anyone got a copy of the ROM?
If only there were some sort of Internet auction site... :)
You're really not making much of an effort these days...
Well done. Keep up the good work.
I'm trying hard to remember what the Death Head was. Was it like the MIRV but much much bigger?

What do i do when i lose my lander? They don't seem to sell them at the starbase.
Damn. Stupid lander.

If you believe that borrowing books from the library is okay but listening to music on the Internet is wrong, where do you draw the line?

It's about avoiding paying for something that cost someone else money to provide. How is that not theft of service, again?
The following are all examples of "avoiding paying for something that cost someone else money to provide". Are these theft of service as well?
Borrowing a book from the library
Going to a friend's house to watch a movie on pay per view instead of each of you ordering it yourself
Reading about a sporting event in the paper instead of going to the game yourself
It's like sneaking into the campus movie theatre
No, because you're taking up someone else's seat.
or the amusement park without paying.
No, because you're making the lines longer.
Or jumping the turnstiles on the subway
No, because you're making the subways more crowded and slightly heavier.
It's not piracy because they're not raping and murdering on the high seas.
It's not theft because there's no missing property.
It is copyright infringement. But some would argue it falls under fair use.

Which is it?
Seriously, what is this in reference to? At least give us a hint.
I don't get it. Who brought up anagrams, and where do "rocket boys" and "november sky" come from?
It's wrong when Slashdot does it too. I don't think you'll find many comments, other than from editors, in favor of $rtbl.
I don't think it's quite as easy as that. If one customer using my laptop gateway sends a spam from my IP address, is that the end of my cybercafe?
Yes. You should be blocking outgoing port 25 except to your local mailserver, which is easily configured to block outgoing spam.
