there is even a requirement in the laws establishing the interstate system that a certen persentage of the interstates be totaly strate and flat so that they can be used as runways in times of war.
Make sure you have a CD with Radiohead's ''Idioteque'' and Dave Matthews Band's ''Ants Marching'' when the RIAA eventually comes knocking.
All they can said is that user downloaded the songs, but downloading does not necessarily mean a crime. I have over 1000 CDs and mp3s for many of them. Many are for convenience, as it is easier to listen to a variety using mp3s, but the bulk were downloaded in advance of purchase and actually led me to buy the CD!
...you agree that you will not use any... manual process to monitor or copy our Web pages or the content contained herein without our prior expressed written permission.
Wouldn't typing their URL in my browser and looking at auctions be a manual process to monitor some of their pages? Or reloading an auction I bid on to see how its going?
I am sure most any Slashdot reader could remove the software or just go with a self-install kit. My parents, or a lot of my friends, could not. I think the issue here is that these people - ones who probably didn't watch/notice all the EULAs being clicked for them - are being monitored/tracked/whatever as if they had given their consent.
The installer has acted as their representative without their knowledge or consent. While the EULA would easily get tossed out if they wanted to fight it, they wouldn't know there was anything to fight and they would have already been monitores/etc already.
And yes, I know the ISP monitors traffic anyway, but it is different when they are installing software on your computer and agreeing to a EULA for you.
This isn't very practical, all of his scenarios could more easily and reliably handled with any type of transmitor. Why use a bulb?
Nifty? Yes. Useful? No.
fyi, when i first started watching these movies at school, i was running an amd k62 350 with an 8mb ati all-in-wonder pro. the playback was very good, not much different than on my roommates p3 750 with 32 mb geforce2 card.
not sure why tom had such poor results on a k62 450...
the comment about the dice strikes me as wrong (even if a joke). they have 6 predictable outcomes that must arise from rolling them... they cannot have any other outcome.

Actually, that is not true

The last P...well...that's not that simple
It's sorta like another way to call a cat a kitten
It's five little letters that are missin' here
Institute for the Future seems kind of like a name little kids would come up with, I cannot take anything he says seriously.

Way to sneak in your personal political agenda there...
For instance, in Muslim countries women aren't leered at and treated as sex objects, because society conditions them not to.
In Muslim countries, women are objects period. No need to break it down to as fine a degree as sex object...
