what happens when terrorists planning to blow up the president through email from saudi arabia sends and email through hotmail, to someone in eville, usa...
what is the international law that says that the saudi can't say things like that?
even on a us based email service?
this could get fun:)

that was in email... i thought it was funny that they refered me to this page and not their own server... they don't wanna be/.'d
other than that... you do control the price
period.
it should be less than one semester of total books, to get any student actaully interested... these vitalbooks don't wear or tear, so that won't matter... paying for the 7GB hard drive is your fault...
somewhere between 200-500 bucks should be fine...
IANAL, nor a dentist, i do criminal justice at my school, my books cost me 225... total, 5 classes for one semester... granted, i goto a small school, and bought my books online, i'm sure the dentistry/lawyer/medical books cost alot more...
if anything, a significate amount of people won't apply to NYU next year... through word of mouth, i'll tell them not to apply, and to my freinds that go there, i'll tell them to transfer...
and soon, in the future... books will have a retina scan to make sure it's the correct user reading the book at ALL times, and if it's incorrect, magically handcuffs will appear until $500,000 in quarters is inserted into the book...
i don't think tivo is to tv, as napster is to music... napster CAN let you download whatever music you want, if you already own a legal copy or not... tivo takes what you can legally watch, and record it for later viewing... which is legal as long as you don't show it to like, a theather for money, etc... nor tape a nfl gameshow without the written consent of the nfl, etc... it's just recording a cable signal that you already pay for... just aren't able to watch it currrently...
what i would like to know, can advertisers know who is watching their ads, and who isn't? i mean, with tivo you will skip through the ads, but, if everyone had tivo, nobody would watch the commercials, would the advertisers still pay for their space if nobody is watching? technically the tv is on, and the signal is being broadcasted to your television/tivo, but it's just not being recorded... obvously when people start paying millions for an ad space in the superbowl or last episode of sienfeld, and nobody watches them, nobody buys their service, nobody logs onto www.victoriasecret.com to watch the fashion show, advertises will know... will it be the end of commercials? will that be the end of tv stations? will every channel become a PBS please donate your money thing ? only time and a little luck can tell...
figure you know, the fbi is also part of the government... making carnovoire (sp) and all... it's kinda neat how both a free email system and a email sniffer both come out in the same week... anyone else think that this is a LITTLE too coninsedental? (sp):) And with that in mind - one of my favorite quotes: Anyone Who Believes They Are Free Under Any Form Of Government Are Those Who Are Truely Enslaved -unknown

this makes me wonder if the ps2 will be worth 2x as much as i paid for my dreamcast ?
