The Washingtion Times is reporting that the Chinese are using this launch to spy on the USA. From the story, there was military intelligence-gathering satellite and an IR camera with a resolution of 1.6 meters, that's only 5 feet!!! Read the story for more. And just because the Chinese didn't say it was on there doesn't mean it wasn't!
Looks like george saw the light and decided that DVDs will make more moey now than later. Even though he decided this a long time ago, its still good for the fans and good for his wallet. What caused him to be so slow in the first place?
Either the techies don't have a lot of money, or people don't care enough to take this to the Supreme Court to get this stupid law ruled on. I don't have the moeny or the time, but someone has too.
Ok, good arguement, but how much longer until all the schools are wired? A report just 2 or 3 years ago stated that 95% of all schools were online, so how much longer do we keep paying for the last 5%?
When my taxes rise above 50%, I quit and I will live off the Government. simple math, I'm not getting as much as I put in, so I decide to still make a profit.
Or they could just keep cutting income taxes, and then let the ball start rolling and start cutting other taxes.
BTW, don't taxes require an act of Congress to be inacted *coughCONSTITUTIONcough*
I was bending my new flex CD to see how far it would bend and then it broke. Can you send me a new one for free? And pay the shipping charges? I'm poor.
any machine that allows you to rip MP3s. They will probably put a time limit on the grandfather clause, say a year. And then everyone has to buy a "copyright compliant" macine. I can't wait to be considered an evil hacker for having old equipment. Does that mean that rotary phones will become hacker equipment too?
If this were so cool and such an awesome way to do computing, then why do we even have the PCI standard? They should make motherboards with 6 SDRAM slots instead of 6 PCI slots. They would help out SETI@Home!

Actually all three letters in CVN stand for something...
C = Carrier
V = Fixed Wing Aircraft
N = Nuclear
So in real english it's a fixed wing-nuclear powered carrier.

The options
1. pay about $10/month for the chance to get 50 tracks, of which 25 actually came through.
2. pay nothing and get a 90% or better rate on downloading tracks.
I think I will take door number 2 please.

Maybe the hackers are searching for the letter Dr. Brown sent back in 1885?
