You know it's perfectly legal for you to purchase an Adobe product at your local store, take it home and open it (without breaking the seal on the software) and then take it back because the license agreement renders it useless for your purposes.
Do this 10 times every day and Adobe might start to get the picture.
Salary Theorem The less you know, the more you make.
Proof:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As every engineer knows:
Power = Work / Time And since Knowledge = Power and Time = Money It is therefore true that Knowledge = Work / Money .
Solving for Money, we get:
Money = Work / Knowledge Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches
infinity, regardless of the amount of Work done.
Here's a mathematical theorem expressed in algebraic terms:
F=ma
Here's a philosophical look at life expressed in code:
begin()
while(age < 60)
{
work();
play();
sleep();
}
end();
Here's a mathematical calculation expressed in code:
area = PI*(radius*radius);

So if a cunning schoolkid were to set up a perl script that loads Slashdot 50 times a second all day from his/her school, does it mean that the school will receive free samples of Uncle Ben's Hot Grits in a week or two?
I didn't say anything about censoring the internet or removing content from the internet. I was quite specific in saying that they wish to restrict access to content available on the internet. Their preferred method of doing this is to employ technology that doesn't fully work and results in innocuous content being blocked.
Your censors in this election sit on the LEFT side of the aisle.
That would explain all of the right-wing christian "family" organisations that are actively promoting the censoring of internet access in public libraries. The same groups that are pouring millions into the Bush war-chest.
"There ought to be limits to freedom" - George W. Bush, May 21st 1999
Bush's idea that you need to enforce the laws better ("We've added more beds to our juvenile prison system") doesn't help in a case like Columbine.
Besides which Bush isn't enforcing the current laws with any kind of enthusiasm.
There was an incident recently in Texas where some toddler got hold of his parent's gun (which had been stored "safely" on top of a wardrobe) and shot himself. No charges were brought against the parents. I'm not saying they should go to jail, but they quite obviously aren't responsible gun owners.
So we have a clear case where Bush's administration could have prevented the parents from owning a gun again, but they did nothing.
Headline stories about kittens being left in dumpsters while the real news gets mentioned in a 30 second world round-up. My roommate and I resorted to watching a French language channel just to get some detailed coverage of the protests in Yugoslavia.
Even the cable networks don't cover anything in any kind of depth. If you want decent news you have to get it from overseas. It's sad but I guess that's what the American public likes.

Yeah, I do listen to NPR. It's certainly better than most news coverage. I've found that the BBC World Service is an order of magnitude better though.
Imagine this: interviewers that ask difficult, probing questions and stick to the subject until they get an answer.
I don't watch local TV because it's shite.
