'Legitimate' spammers will actually adhere to this. On the other hand, spammers who do not care for the rules have a nicely prepared list of real email accounts.
Actually it is possible. Cable companies have audit teams who check the taps for illegal hookups. There's no easy press a button at the office solution, but they can catch you.
Meister, the signal that travels from the headend over to the Hardlines up to the tap(that is where your house drop is connected) is infact a digital signal.
SOE sure has its head in the sand here. Mythic just raised the number in Dark Age of Camelot to 8/server(24 on Gareheris, pendragon, Mordread, and Andred, actually).
So why would you want more than 1 characters on a single server? -Friends: People make alt characters and still want to be with their friends. -Crafting: No one class can do all the crafts, and there are people who take pride that have a high skill crafter for most/all the craft trades. High level crafters are an asset to the entire realm. -Roleplayiing: Yes, there are people who actually roleplay. And some roleplay more than 1 character.
Unless SOE changes their policy, I won't be picking up SW:G myself.
...but since Largo basically left the comic, you can really feel the difference. I miss that drunken l33t d00d who can dance(I saw him dancing on the last day of Akon this year).
My parents signed up for the 3 package deal from RCN. Getting them a working email address was a utter nightmare.
What should have been a remarkably easy thing took 2 monthes. When my parents signed up and picked their email address. All good so far.
A few days later their password stops working. They call, reset the password. At this point we think it was a minor glitch, no big deal. Life is good.
The next day the password stops working AGAIN. Rinse, lather and repeat this with escalations to engineers and supervisors over the course of the next month and a half. No one had a clue what was going on.
At some point my father's best friend emails him. His email is replied to by a nice old lady out in Ohio or some midwestern area asking who he was. After a few email swaps we found the problem: They assigned the same email address to 2 people. And talk about idioticness that they would have never figured it out on their own. Stupid, stupid RCN.
Oh, they just changed my parent's billing cycle to squeeze some more cash out of them this month. They are in the process of moving back to ATT.

The baseball stadium is in a public area, so that is legal.
You paid for ownership of your car so it's legal.(It's also a bad analogy since cable is a service you pay/month, whereas a car is a piece of property you paid to own)
If I was a lawyer you contacted to sue Comcast over them going after cable thieves, I'd laugh at you.
The 6 billion/year figure also takes into account the amount of money to hire, train, and equip the security department that goes out and checks for cable theft, as well as the audit patrols(I'm willing to guess that is most of the 6 billion/year...). It's very expensive stuff. So in that respects, cable theft is causing real financial damage to cable companies, who in turn raise the ates to compensate.

Low pass filters(the kind that are needed for this kind of filtering) are expensive, like more than $100/each. Guess how they are going to get the money for that. Stories like this give cable providers a 'legitimate' reason to up rates, since they must fight cable pirates.
Well, once you pay for your software, you are entitled to recieve a upgrade. See, in this system we have called capitalism, you exchange money for goods or services. See an example here. It's people who keep stealing Windows that caused MS to have to revert to a product activation like this in the first place, you know.
The president of Sharpie today was dragged from his office by federal agents and is being transported to an undisclosed maximum security federal jail. He stands accused to breaking the security of CD protection and is being treated as a domestic terrorist that endangers our national economy.
Federal authorities also raided local Taco Bells today in seach for the terrorist known as 'CmdrTaco'. Unable to find the self proclaimed commander of the Tacos, John Ashcroft vowed to keep the search for the Taco Commander until he is found and brought to justice.
Apparently descrambling DVD is encyption As bad as sabotaging airplanes to crash. Gives you a idea just how much of a clue these judges have to what these programs do.(Granted, this was pre-9/11, but still)
More like security through brillantly designed APIs. See, rather than letting Windows get cracked, MS cleverly designed the APIs to crash the system first. Everytime you see a BSOD, you should thank MS that they prevented a evil hacker from taking over your system. And if MS let people see their APIs, they could stop the APIs from crashing the system in response to hack attempts, leaving all Windows users vurnable with a non-crashing insecure Windows!
I switched channels to PBS(that government run commie network!)during a commercial, without making a donation. That's 3 strikes, so I guess I am going to jail for a long time:-(

Well, showing an episode featuring a guy blowing up tall buildings very soon after September 11th, 2001 was probably deemed a touchy subject...
