"Record companies and music publishers have much to be concerned about, according to recent research. Worldwide sales of music CDs, records and cassettes fell for the third year in a row, hit largely by rising Internet piracy in the United States, according to figures for 2002 by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. Last year saw the steepest fall yet, with a 7 percent drop in global music sales and a 10 percent fall in units sold in the United States."
Piracy? Piracy? This is total bullshit.
I'm no Pirate and I stopped giving you Record Company Morons(TM) any of my money because I became aware that you're all a bunch of clueless, lawyer happy a-holes!
After spending several hours looking over this latest release from the 'Redmondian Army of Doom', I have mixed feelings about this key as a whole but I still find myself strangely attracted to a few of it's verses. It is as if parts of it were composed by choruses of lilting angels while other parts we're slapped together with the premediation of a four year old making mud pies. Lets take a look at this new key... verse, by haunting verse, shall we?
C4C24- What a stunning beginning! Almost symetrical, yet still off balance even with the repeating C's and 4's. The 2 was a discordant shocker at first, but the more I read over it, the more I found that it acted as a 'front porch', if you will, for the firmly concluding 4.
QDY9P- This is that "Mud Pie" verse that I alluded to earlier. After such a strong beginning with "C4C24", "QDY9P" is a total dissapointment. I think the problem here is the 9. The "QDY phrase is an intriguing start to this verse but the 9 just throws away any semblance of order.
GQJ4F- This is without a doubt, the most playful and funky verse in the key. The central "QJ4" is a sassy and taunting invocation of some well known classical themes which takes on a whole different tone when sandwiched between the "G" and the slightly naughty "F".
2DB6G- Probably the most memorable verse in this work, I kept humming "2DB", "2DB", "2DB", "2DB" to myself all afternoon. This cadence was a welcome change of pace and helped move this key back in the right direction toward the finale.
PFQ9W What a triumph! This final verse had me on the edge of my seat in anticipation as each new character played on the preceeding ones with a curious mixture of both lust and fury. The "PFQ" opening is both sensual and vulgar at once, but when blended into a "Q9W" clarion call, the effect is awsome and should stand as one of the great Windows Key verses of all time.
To do this you must increase the bandwidth loading of the spammer's sponsor (the 'business' paying to have the spam sent) beyond tollerable levels. The only way to do this is with a distributed "insincere curosity attack".
To do this you must write a mail app plug-in that allows you to drop spam into an analyser bucket on your desktop. This analyser would parse the spam for URLs and toll free numbers in the body of the spam. This analyser then routes these "targets" out on to a peer to peer, gnutella style network. As soon as each peer in the network gets about, say, 20 or so copies of that same target submitted from other peers, then a small HTTP client would start making random requests to the target URL or toll free number. This would keep up until the target disapears.
Oh, and to play the Flute, you just blow across the little hole on the one end while moving your fingers back and forth on the outside of the tube.
. ...is all k-12 text books and supporting materials (worksheets, lesson plans, etc.) produced under an open source licence so we, the taxpayers of this nation, can give these publishing houses the collective finger, and to make this material available to the world freely.
This work could be all be done collectively by the nations teachers themselves, just like this good woman has done. This idea just needs a Corporate Sponsor or two to host the server space and bandwidth.
Placing restrictions upon any technology hobby in the name of "combating terrorism" is folly of the highest order and constitutes blindingly stupid public policy.
We face a future where people who hate us because of our freedoms can and will attack us at will with amazingly ordinary implements used in novel ways. Without marching out into the world and killing all of these people "pre-emptively", our only realistic option is to improve our remote sensing (intelligence) technologies to find them before they become real, active threats. But developing these technologies is real hard work, involving cutting edge sciences and technologies... and having the largest possible national crop of young people exited about science is absolutely essential to our future national security.
I am a software engineer today BECAUSE of my early experiences with model rocketry and model airplanes and because they taught me how things worked and fired my imagination about what could be possible in the future.
We've heard NASA lament lately about how hard it is becoming to find qualified graduates to staff even entry level engineering and science positions. Public policies that throttle modeling technology hobbies will only exacerbate this problem into the future and good people will die needlessly as a result.
As one who works somewhere where the pointy haired idiots don't even want to hear the word Linux, I would kill to have your problems.
Quit whining and pick one you lucky little bastard.
Duh...We get it.

You have a FAIR USE RIGHT to take an image of anything you OWN and publish it to support the sale of that property.
McCalls, take my advice and fire your idiot attorneys. If you want your retailers to destroy old inventory, PAY them to destroy it.

OrbitTouch?? Sucky Name. You guys shoulda gone with the more obvious "BoobieBoard"
Tonight, they're going to take it out for a whirr-by shooting.
I recall seeing a TV news item on this as well.

I am three times happier about this than you.

To end Spam, you must "de-monetize" it.
To do this you must increase the bandwidth loading of the spammer's sponsor (the 'business' paying to have the spam sent) beyond tollerable levels. The only way to do this is with a distributed "insincere curosity attack".

...that lets them set an incoming bandwith alarm level and also allows them to post an inbound ip block on traffic headed for their network.
This gives them the information and the tools they need to manage the problem.
