if you note that the word "take" simply covers how it comes into possession, not whether someone loses possession of it because of your possession. Like for example "to take in the scenery", doesnt mean you literarly take the scenery, but you examine it with your eyes and your brain in memory.
The key word is take IN the scenery. I have never seen a dictionary where copy has the same definition of steal or pirate.
I think it depends on what series you are talking about. His Alvin Maker series will probably still be read in 50 years. The Ender series might make it, because it is great reading for younger people who are starting to get interested in SF.
Yes, we should let the people who did this get away without retribution for fear of possibly hurting someone. We are are at war with the Taliban, and Bin Laden.
I agree with you about the shortage of people who actually know what they are talking about on the phone. I work for (glass) window company as a second level support agent. A lot of the first level agents have no clue what they are talking about. (Some of the second level agents don't even know what they are talking about.) I think the main reason is that the entry level pay is so bad, that all the people with intelligence refuse work here.

Aren't you just using something similar to DOS? After all, you have to TYPE in what you want done, it isn't part of the GUI?
Chess! How many people here have a chess rating over 2000? (or even know what a chess rating is?) The ultimate strategy game will always be chess, hands down.
I am LDS (mormon) and I generally use the MPAA ratings as a guide for movies. However I don't blindly go by them as some don't deserve a PG-13 rating for nudity (Titantic) or crudeness (Bio-Dome).
On the other hand, I will watch The Matrix and other good R-rated movies that just simply aren't meant to be watched by a younger audience.
Unless they have more than one (but all college students are poor right?) they are going to be using whatever OS came with their system
There is a really cool invention that counters this problem. It is really new, so you may not have heard about it. The invention is called a partition. It allows you to have more than 1 operating system on your hard drive.

Here is something to think about: the US Govt has been supporting a brutal, repressive regime (almost to the same extent as the Taliban has imposed on the Afgan people) in Saudi Arabia for the last 50 to 60 years
I agree with you that the government of Saudi Arabia is corrupt and needs to be fixed. However if this is why Bin Laden is upset, why doesn't he go after them instead of the U.S.?
Btw, I think the revenge attacks on Afghanistan are completely justified. All nations have the right to protect themselves. I don't believe any other country would act any different if they had the power.
THANK YOU for saying that. Almost everyone that I have heard say the rest of the stuff in in your post claim that it is immoral to attack Afghanistan or Bin Laden, but instead let them continue to do whatever they want. They also say that we are morally superior if we don't do anything in retaliation to the attacks.
hmm, that is likely what they *want* - but I doubt that is the case. somebody knows it, and plenty of people could reverse engineer it - there likely just wasn't the need or desire - until now. I have a feeling it won't be long at all until there is an easy way around this.
Microsoft know this and I don't think that they really care. Only a small amount of people will do this, the vast majority will use Outlook.
By having the average joe do this, Microsoft now has a larger command of the market. Of course, when Billy Boy changes all of his products to lease, he will make a killing.
I currently own a 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. It needs a paint job and looks like crap, but it runs great and has over 185,000 miles on it. I doubt that I will get a newer car until I after graduate from college.
Plus, since you don't know, or haven't taken a real World Civilization course in your life, Russia/USSR saved most of Europe's ass in WWII.
The only reason that Hitler started WWII was because Stalin signed a non agression pact with Germany. This enabled Germany to start taking over Eastern Europe without fear from Russia. In fact, Russia was on the side of Germany when WWII broke out. The only reason that they changed sides was because Germany started attacking them.
After that and WWII, the USSR became self sufficient and untrusting. Not that the *USSR* couldn't be trusted...but the USSR *couldn't* trust the rest of the world to not lie to them again about any sort of non-aggression treaty.
After WWII the USSR broke EVERY treaty they signed, then demanded that the other side still honor the treaty. Why don't YOU pick up a history book and read it? The Naked Communist is a good book that strips the propaganda from communism and tells the truth.
Umm, you know that telemarketers try to call during dinner?
My brother used to be a telemarketer... He quit the day after he called me and asked if I wanted long distance, because I smacked him around when he got home.
Parents shouldn't let their kids surf the net without supervision. Besides the porn issue, there are several other problems out there. Think of all the sick, perverted child molesters that lie wait in chat rooms for kids.

This sounds like Henry Ford's famous quote: You can have any color you want, as long as it is black.
Bill Gates: "You can have any e-mail client as long as it is Microsoft."
Come on! Microsoft does a great job stopping spam. Just look at my hotmail account...umm nevermind

At least he is on the correct side now. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

When kids play Cop & Robbers, or Cowboys & Indians, do they use real weapons or imaginary one?? They are playing a game, like tag.
There are some of us out there that are not obsessed with porn, but don't want our 5 year old daughters looking at it.
I agree with you that it is the responsibility of the parents. That is why she never gets online, without parental supervision.
Parents shouldn't let their kids surf the net without supervision. Besides the porn issue, there are several other problems out there. Think of all the sick, perverted child molesters that lie wait in chat rooms for kids.
