That this album is not in any way copy protected (at least as far as I can tell... cdparanoia had no problems ripping it). They seem to have decided to fight the file trading networks by putting out the Vault and also including a DVD of them rehearsing the songs (and the DVD's mix seems to be better quality than the CD...), for the price of a standard CD. I've talked to some people who say that they bough the CD for the DVD and the Vault.
In it's second week (first full) and has now sold approximately 800,000 copies (350,000 of which were in the second week). Hopefully the record industry gets the message that the way to survive in the post-Napster world is not by suing the bejeezus out of people but by simply offering more value than can easily be duplicated by the P2P services. I mean, St. Anger has about 7 hours of content (75 minute CD, 75 minute DVD, over 3 hours (soon to grow) of concert MP3s) for (if you bought at Target or Best Buy) $10.
Some have posted that other artists have done this, but none of them are of the stature in the industry of a band like Metallica. By demonstrating that you can do this and succeed with an album that was certified platinum before a single CD (apart from Amazon pre-orders) was sold, the RIAA has to be taking notice; Metallica has proven that if you deliver more bang for the buck, people will buy it regardless of how much free downloading there is.
Metallica still allows taping where possible.Festival-type tours generally don't because some bands have problems with it, but for their solo tours they do allow recording. It generally helps if you're a member of their fan club, since then you can get tickets which specifically state that you're allowed to tape and put you in a good location to tape. Those tickets are also very handy for if you get harassed by security people for bringing a recorder in. They also allow non-commercial redistribution of the tapes (and are planning to allow fans to mail CDRs or DATs of their bootlegs for inclusion on the vault).
Simple solution: Get DirecTV. Every channel is digital, and the odds are that it's cheaper than digital cable. Plus you're sticking it to the cable monopolies.
This is argument #1 for increasing stock dividends. By reducing the capital available for personal empire building by management (and instead allowing stockholders to do that), this sort of stuff is a lot more difficult.
I don't pay for Opera. I don't notice the banner (and if it annoys you, it's not too difficult, if you poke around, to block it from getting new banners and only using a banner of your choice).
However, that deal was all stock. The "$4.3 billion" was the value of AOL stock that they gave shareholders of Netscape. Today, those shares are definitely worth less than $750 million.
With DirecTV, News Corp. has probably passed AOL TW in the global media sweepstakes. They're definitely bigger in TV (which is still the king of US media) than AOLTW.
AOL Time Warner (IIRC, owners of the second biggest recording company, not to mention one of the major recording studios) owns Nullsoft, which releases a program that the RIAA and MPAA will undoubtedly call a tool whose sole purpose is to illicitly distribute copyrighted works....
Reverse MX lookup wouldn't occur on the From: address (unless an admin is particularly stupid)
It would occur on the MAIL FROM command in SMTP. There's no reason I can think of to have the domain part be different from something on the same network as the SMTP server.
And that's different from a closed hardware architecture how?

There's also some conjecture that the CIA intentionally leaks information about when they fuck up, to project an image of being ineffectual (which may lead potential adversaries to underestimate them and do stuff which makes it easier for the CIA).
Part of that is Mandrake's KDE developer/packager refuses to use Mandrake bugzilla, so he never gets bug reports on the patches he's introduced and so forth.
Ironically, KDE is probably the worst wm/de to use in Mandrake...
The Met songs are from Garage Inc. (1998), though they're covers of Thin Lizzy and Misfits songs from pre-'85.
Don't go knocking Dokken... they're one of the few hair bands that don't suck. Def Leppard is almost respectable, as before Mutt Lange got his hands on them, they were as NWOBHM as Iron Maiden or Tygers of Pan Tang or Diamond Head.

Yuh can't get theyuh from heyuh...
...the dynamically dispatched virtual functions that Borland used as the basis for their ObjectWindows C++ toolkit about a decade ago.
God how I wish OWL beat out MFC...
You don't have to pay for a TV in the bar in the US (unlike Britain, where you have the license issue).
So this is an old vulnerability that's been fixed, eh?
FWIW, this exploit doesn't seem to work against Opera 7.11 for Linux...

Opera's had that for at least a couple of years.
My Opera RPM is 3.7 MB, including mail-client (which I'd give up mutt for if only it supported local mailspools).
I'm presuming you're referring to some type of fast-rewind feature. Opera's got that (not sure if the button's on the toolbar by default though).
If the VP is such a VIP, we ought to keep this on the QT...

A cliche regarding:

Who noticed that this was an empty story on the front page?
Verizon's also part of that (Verizon having been formed by the merger of Bell Atlantic and GTE (which owned Genuity)).
And does the popularity of the language indicates how popular correctness and reuse are with the programming population?
