So his profit was -30,000 x 1000 = the MPAA owes him 30,000,000. I suggest we get the other party in this terrible crime (the US military) make sure it gets paid.

When I was in high school back in the 70's we had this PDP-8 (not sure of the exact model) computer, the one where you when you turn it on first you set a bunch of toggle switches and then feed in the yellow punch tape to load the OS. It had a keyboard and a huge roll of canary yellow paper that it printed on.
So this kid typed in
10 PRINT "MR BOND SUCKS MOOSE" 20 GOTO 10
and sat there panicking when it just spewed out line after line of MR BOND SUCKS MOOSE so my brother told him "That's too bad, we'll just have to wait til it runs out of paper."
after a while we took pity on him and told him about CONTROL-C
I had some good times with that thing. I wrote a program to do MadLibs, and another one to play craps.
While the eMate did use rechargable AA's, they were soldered together in a little heatshrink pack. So while they are a common size, it's not like you could pop them out and stick more in easily. Still, the battery pack is much easier to rebuild than something like a Powerbook battery from the same era, which often had 4/5 AA's soldered together with various safety components inside a sealed hard plastic case that was impossible to get apart and back together without some major hassles.
The Newton 2000 and 2100, on the other hand, had an optional removable battery pack that took standard AA's.
Those Newtons are remarkable machines and are amazingly useful for being more ten years old now.
Too bad they got discontinued, but the form factor of the eMate was the inspiration for the original clamshell iBooks.
was by opera-singer-turned-comedienne Anna Russell, who hilariously sings (all the parts), plays the piano, and summarizes completely accurately the entire 4-opera Ring Cycle by Wagner in 20 minutes.

The first Mac in space was actually a Mac Portable, that old 17-pound $6500 behemoth with a 16MHz 68000 processor. Apple's info on the mission. They used some springs to take up the slack in the trackball. How much does it cost per pound to send something up in the shuttle?

He needs to be fined, heavily.
I think that 1000x the amount of profit he made from this patently illegal, immoral, and unAmerican operation would be fair.
Yeah, I stole it from the comments over at the article source. Too good not to share.

Should we be concerned that the company is called "Oilent Green"?
just wondering
Go to the http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/ site and compare word frequency between 'pirates' and 'ninjas'. Please.
unless necrophilia is involved
ewwwwwww

The official scholarly edition of the complete works of Mozart, the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe is online here:

I wish other, official scholarly publishers would get their acts together and put more things online.
I mean, libraries will still buy the nice expensive editions anyway, so why not?
