it is really hard to condemn a case like this, where a man has been brought to justice as a result
The ends should never be used to justify the means in a question of law. This would make it acceptable to do random searches for no reason, imprison people based on shaky information, bomb countries based on falsified evidence, etc.
Wait, what country was this in again? Oh, never mind.
Now the mutant monstrosity known as Netscape can finally die, and the browser war can now be faught by the remaining worthy competitors, IE and Mozilla (and some might say Opera).
Sorry, but I disagree that heavy metal is a good example of music that really needs good encoding. All music benefits from better encoding of course, but music with a greater dynamic range benefits more . . . like classical, jazz, opera, etc. Metal typically is pretty easy on the dynamics . . . most of the time it's heavily compressed in post-production anyway.
For the case issue . . . how about when you join, they mail you a package of blank cardboard CD folders. Each would be a flat 8.5x11 that you run through an inkjet, then fold into a little case. Then, each album you buy comes with a.pdf of the cover.
I'm a little confused about your sig . . . you put "true" in bold as though your conclusion were some secondary, hidden lesson. The way I see it, "never compete with a machine at the task for which it was designed" is the intended lesson, quite obviously and in black and white. If this is the true lesson, what is the implied false lesson you refer to?
...the water I oversaww filtered from the water plant I worked in that was built in 1912 was BETTER in microbiological safety than any bottled water we tested...
Not all public water is created equal. I can smell the chlorine in mine; that's where the Brita filter really comes in handy.
Well put. This idea was entirely confirmed by a University of Utah study earlier this year. Key quote:
...users of hands-free and hand-held cell phones are equally impaired, missing more traffic signals and reacting to signals more slowly than motorists who do not use cell phones.
So hands-free phones do nothing to help the problem, regardless of the massive ad campaigns launched by both cell phone manufacturers and automakers to the contrary.
Here's an alternative: tell the person to call a phone number and give the human operator a code, who will then give them the passcode to continue. Problem solved, with only a small, very rarely used expense on the part of the provider. It wouldn't even need to be live; any employee could give the blind person a call back whenever they have time.

Why bother cross-shredding it first?
Tron's not an operating system; he's a program.
My condolences to the 50 coders, though.

Did you just say "I know you are but what am I?"?
Not sure which 2001 you lived through . . . the dot-com world's "unraveling" was well underway by then.
Of course the IT industry alone supports the recording industry. Nobody else buys (or doesn't buy) CDs.
So what you're saying is, the equivalent would be xerox-ing all the pages.
I take it that was the offspring of Yoda and Ackbar speaking? I wonder what he would look like . . .

Seems a bit daft of me to guard him when he's a guard . . .

so . . . drunk driving should be legal as well?
Confirmed by this study.
I think you need to control your use of bold. Quickly.
University of Utah study published January 2003
A key finding: users of handheld and of hands-free cell phones were equally impaired.
So hands-free phones do nothing to help the problem, regardless of the massive ad campaigns launched by both cell phone manufacturers and automakers to the contrary.

The fact that R and T (the 3rd and 4th most commonly used letters?) are pressed with the same finger proves that this is not true.
