Well, according to Open Secrets, Hatch has raised $152,360 for his 2004 campaign from TV/Movies/Music industries. In the 2000 election, he raised $515,207 from the Communications/Electronics sectors.
On one hand I am happy that iTMS [which I believe has the best compramise between protecting IP owners and Fair Use] is successful. On the other hand though, the money made is going to the RIAA - who, we all know, have been systematically attacking our Fair Use rights.
I hope that this is another Boston Strangler episode of the music industry. I hope this shows the industry that people will pay for products that are accessible and easy to use. Corporations follow the money train, and I think iTMS is it. [imho]
You also have to look at history to gain understanding and context of why certain church events are placed where they were. Christmas was moved to the winter in order to combat a popular winter occult festival. Not only that, but remember that during the early formation of the Christian church, Rome was in the heydey of its power. The Jewish/Christian problems with self-image and body issues are a direct result of trying to turn away from "matters of the flesh" which Rome so famously embodied. But remember that religion has always been used as a dividing force: Christians in Venice rounded up Jews and placed them into a ghetto long before Hitler did this, and for many of the same reasons: fear of the other. I like to think that there is a divide: faith is from God/Deity/etc and good, while religion is a human construct that is more often than naught fsked up and twisted.
I don't think this lessens my christian belief - it just adds context and deepens the reasons.
While I agree that most of the "blogs" out there are of little or no use - some are important to a small group of people. I have a blog, and my family and close friends read and post to it. Will it ever be/.? Hell no, but it serves it's purpose, and that's why I do it. I also post photographs I take with some of the cameras I make. Is this content "worth" anything to you? Probably not. UNless you want to see pinhole photography.

This is a non issue: Save documents for the period of time dealing with the Statute of Limitations dealing in your area. I work for an architecture firm. We archive documents for 7 years on site, then move them off site for another 13 years. That way in 20 total years, our statute of limitations is over and we can do what we wnat with the documents.
The amazing thing about all of this legislation is that people I held in high esteem are all in favor of the proposed legislation. Everyone from my mother, to my professor, to my boss want this legislation passed.

Too bad this wasn't around when the Soviets has Mir up, then the cosmonaouts could have called 911 when they got in trouble.
Yes, the network does change. The IT department here is upgrading from a 10 Mbps to 100Mbps line ALL OVER CAMPUS. The system is buggy now; I can't wait until 5000 new freshmen enter the dorms. I am in school now, and will have some overlap of next quarter, and from past experience the first week will be hell.
The first weekend of my freshman year was horrible. I came from home with (unheard of then) an ISDN line, and was excited about a faster connection at school. There were set time slots where you could bring in your boxen, and they could insert the card, load the (then Win95) drivers and then configure the software. Well, I bought the Ethernet card they required - $50 from the school store (rip off). Then the computer guy - they must have just asked a student to help out - he didn't realize that you had to physically push the close button on the cd-rom...not push on the caddy. We take that for granted now, but then these drives were novel, and my boxen was a franken-puter.
To top it all off, we all had static-IP's so you had to get someone from the central IT to come and give you an IP address, and then turn your drop on.
A better way is implemented now - dynamic IP's off of a DHCP server. Easy for connection, bad for me hosting that pr0n collection
WASHINGTON D.C., Nov. 13, 2000 - Associated Press:
Following an emergency meeting Monday morning, Congress unanimously voted to excise Florida from the United States of America. The move was a reaction to the confusion and irregularities in the state's voting numbers that have totally disrupted the 2000 Presidential election.
'This is the last straw,' said Utah senator Orin Hatch. 'First Elian Gonzales, now this.' Several congressmen told reporters the decision has been a long time in coming. 'We're all pretty much sick of Florida,' said representative Barney Frank. 'They've been a constant embarrassment for too long now.' Added Frank, 'They had Dan Marino for a while, but what have they done lately? Oh that's right, screw up our entire democracy. I forgot'
In a speech on the Senate floor, Massachusetts senator Ted Kennedy commented that the loss of Florida's sizable elderly population will free up billions of dollars in social security funds. 'These are valuable funds which can now be redirected toward national defense. We can finally rebuild our demoralized, weakened military,' said the Senator to roaring applause.

Oh yeah, there is none.
