Captain Alexander Williams, a New York City police inspector
at the time, attributed "There's a sucker born every minute, but
none of them ever die" to Joseph Bessimer, a notorious confidence
trickster of the early 1880s known to the police as "Paper Collar
Joe".
Scams have been around for a long time and there will allways be some soon to be poor fool who falls for it.

So I download iTunes....I tell it to index all my music, and not to copy the songs into the My Music folder (this is just plain dangerous for people that don't know how to organize their local files. I see lots of disks filling up due to copies of their songs living in multiple folders).

The big danger is that by default itunes is artist oriented in the way it sorts your files in the itunes folder.
This is potentially disasturous for compilation albums featuring multiple artists
I went from a disk based sorting system of my own design 60's, 70's, Folk, British Invasion, Various etc.. with sub folders boken down by artist and then album,to an Itunes Arist Centric view.
120 gigs 1400 artist folders in the root of the music folder some containing only one song.
I folishly didnt go find out what some of the options really meant before deciding to reset my itunes folder to my music folder and allow itunes to manage the music.
Overall I like the app and it even provides for mp3 encoding without having to buy a plugin( unlike Microsofts Media Player)
I've spent some time reasembling my compilation albums and will eventually get reconstructed.
My advice to anyone using it would be to set up a dummy folder of assorted file collections to find out what it will actually do to your carefully arranged music files. If you are single oriented then it will probaly be ok to let it mangae everything for you. BUT if you are album oriented you probably will want to reign it in some.
In moving and renaming I have also run across some apparent problems with truncated folder names and possibly file names.
Whats the point of having a plasma screen if you run the signal thru the Tivo (DTV)?
Dont get me wrong I love my Replaytv (Showstopper no subscription required) but I cant see buying a PLASMA screen until the DTV makers support HDTV recording and full audio signal out to the stereo.
AM I missing something that is currently available in the US market?
I dont have the paperwork handy right now but if I remember the claims form correctly up to 5 products could be claimed wihtout documentation and if over 5 porducts were claimed additional documentation would be required. They even supplied a list of products that were registered by me during the time frame specified.

The situation you describe already exists with Fine Art - There IS only one copy extant of any particular painting and that copy may be in a Museum and accessable to the public or it may be in a private collection. If its in a private collection there is no obligation to force the current owner to make the painting available to the public for viewing or copying.
For the first time ever i did the afterthanksgiving freebe purchases this year and eventually approx 90 days later recieved checks for all my purchases. So I have in the spare parts bin the following 'free' items

KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) - A Cuban airliner carrying 29 passengers was hijacked at knifepoint Wednesday night and landed under U.S. military escort in Key West, U.S. authorities said.

Why give all your money to the lawyers and law firms, stay out of the class and simply contact your local wage labor relations board. Your company will be audited and then those who can document unpaid overtime will get a nice check those who cant get nothing. Happend to me at Hotel I worked at years ago. The head of the Maintenance Department was fired and he contacted the labor board about unpaid overtime. Everyone who worked at the hotel was contacted by the state. FWIW your milage may vary this was in Florida over 20 years ago
From personal experience. I went to Wal-Mart, the only store open at 100 am, when I needed to see if the retail version of MS Windows 98 would solve a problem for me.
After opening the box and carefully reading all the documentation and without braking the inner seal on the software I decided that there had to another solution. So the next day I returned the box to Wally-World and went up the ladder all the way to Store Manager. along each rung I explained that the box plainly said that return to store for refund. The manager called Microsoft who told me to return box to them and they would cut a check which I did and they did.
Next time I purchased software from Wally I just opened the bottom of the box carefully and after evaluating the software returned it with the bottom seal carefully reattached and the top nice and pristine. Had no problems returning it.
Symantic was even easier. Tried one of the System Works Suites and it was too much of a performace load on my meager PC, Called them up and they sent me a check and I didn't have to return the software to them just had to promise to destroy it. Which I did..

Add in Video archived from my ReplayTV and I am fast running out of room even with 160 Gig + 80 gig
1.5TB Back up device would be very welcome Right now I'm archiving on 4.7 Gig DVD R
Previously I was Archiving MP3's on CDR
jeeze dude I feel sorry for you, I mean other than the free boob shots, by all means scoop em out, but how many Ron Jeremy's does this world need anyway.
Isn't SonicBlue the company that has been producing interesting products with their patents on digital video recorders? I do think it's good to support them.
An anonymous reader's submission linked to a
webpage about a PC which fits in your car's stereo slot. It's a bit spendy at $1k, but it's got CD/DVD, PCMCIA, USB, Keyboard, Mic, Headphones, VGA and more. Besides being powered by your car, it also has built-in GPS. Lots of interesting hacking ideas here for people who prefer to spend more time in their cars than me.;)
I know that the link goes to a PC but really the link is to a page on a PC. If your going to pick at the nits pick at all of them.
I'm also very lucky to have WRAL, the local CBS affiliate. They are the leading station in the country for HD. They broadcast
all of their local news in AMAZING high definition
/*Begin sarcasm (särkzm)*/
[sarcasm]
Yep thats why I want to get a HD reciever...So I can watch the local news in glorious high definition
[/sarcasm]
/*End sarcasm (särkzm)*/
Yeah I know that wasn't the point of the comment..NetJunkie gave a balanced overview of the situation..it boils down to what the stations AND cable company in your area are doing.. Personally I'm holding off until the local affiliates decide what they are going to do...If they opt to split the stream most of the time what signal if any is left that is HD and if they do split the streams how does that affect cable companies and must carry rules.
Back when the cable companies were first pushing their product I seem to remember that one of the selling points of cable was a picture superior to over the air broadcasts...But now when you try to use that same logic to get national feeds from a satellite service like dtv or dish the responce is that the over the air signal is of high enough quality to prevent you from being able to legally obtain a network feed off of the satellite...

You need to tell that in the morning, if you never want to see here again.
I recieved a notice in the mail several days ago regarding a settlement in Florida.
Here are some links to relevent documents Applications.pdf is a list of covered products and a web site with more information for the curious Microsoft Product Settlement
I dont have the paperwork handy right now but if I remember the claims form correctly up to 5 products could be claimed wihtout documentation and if over 5 porducts were claimed additional documentation would be required. They even supplied a list of products that were registered by me during the time frame specified.
