Do you work for the RIAA? If you do, you should be fired right here, right now. You must not keep up with the Fair Use Act of 1977. The DMCA doesn't overrule this, seeing as how its built upon its principle. One can copy music that they purchase for their own personal use. This is 100% legal. Now, by borrowing the music and copying it, he makes himself subject to a copyright infringment suit. Nonetheless, seeing that one has a library of mp3s means only that this person has made copies for his own personal use. Why don't you RIAA freaks learn that mp3 doesn't automatically mean illegal? As long as he doesn't redistribute the copyrighted works, he doesn't have anything to worry about. Read up kitlings, because I'm here to make RIAA's life miserable.:-)
What I don't understand is why you can't just link a record player into the line in on your computer, and use musicmatch or some other recording program to rip vinyl? It seems implicitly easier and one heck of a lot more accurate.
Last time I checked, its pretty difficult for ISPs to trace where an email came from. So under this surmise, how would the wonderful state of Ohio instate these fines? Spammers suck, but most aren't stupid enough to break the law and make themselves traceable too.
Imagine one day walking to your coffee machine and saying "I'd like a triple expresso, pronto." and the coffee machine making what you want in 30 seconds. Just because you said "pronto?" Yea... thats the coffee machine I want. Good coffee fast... but the problem would be trying to keep up with it.

As a member of the ACLU, I feel that censorship on the net is a violation of our constitutional rights. The government has slipped a fast one on the constituency by saying that all computers in public places must have some sort of proxy server or software bans on particular sites. Traditionally, proxy servers are extraordinarily restrictive, and don't allow access to sites that haven't been appealed to the server admins. Software is even worse, taking sloppy processing of key words within the sites as a basis to ban them. Not just porno is affected. marS EXploration sites are adversely as well. Overall, censorship is more of bane than it is a boon, and if America wasn't so self-absorbed with its attempt to implant its fundamentalist christian beliefs on everyone, then censorship would indeed not be a problem.
Sure, to the layman, changing the orbit of the Earth sounds like a "Get rich quick" fix to the global warming problem, but we first must remember our basic physics. If I'm not correct, the asteroid must first have more mass than the Earth it self, and one must also ask, "how does one control such an object." As well as that, this object must also move from wherever its source may be, and in this situation we must ask, "where do we get the thrust to move such an enormous object..." Then someone would say, "Couldn't we nuke the asteroid in our direction?" and I'd have to answer that with 1. "How do you propose to keep the asteroid in one peice?" But then I suddenly remember that the asteroid has to be enormous, so nuking it wouldn't even cause the object to move. So lets assume we can get it moving? 2. "How do you plan to keep the object on its planned trajectory?" This would be impossible without using subsequent charges to keep it in the proper direction. Let's say we don't even use nukes? Let's postulate for a moment the amount of rocketry and fuel to get the object to move even slightly. Enormous, huh? I'd say that even a high school student taking a basic course in physics could tell you that this wouldn't even be remotely possible.
I find this commentary a bit... well... presumptuous. Assuming that OpenBSD to NetBSD posts on usenet is "5 to 1" is purely conjecture.
I'm not going to make a assumption of my own to avoid sounding like a hypocrite, but couldn't it be remotely possible that a great deal more people use OpenBSD then stated. Keep in mind that data can be transfered by many means on all degrees of media, I can obtain software of ANY type for free... Whether it be open source or corporate conglomerate Microsoft's garbage. All it takes is a comment by one of Microsoft's hired guns to make a huge number of people run around like they just had their heads cut off. Open source is far from dead, my friend... Don't you forget that!
Nevermind the fact that 3com is a corporate conglomerate, and over charges for their garbage, and the fact that the RTL8139 is not only cheaper, but the quality is great for the lower price. Nevermind the fact that you sit at home on your arse gaping in wild wonder at the substandard programming on your machine, known only as Windows ME/NT/2000. Nevermind that your performance would be dramatically increased by using Linux... Then you'd be a happy corporate slut! Ignorance is bliss!

Whatever, bitch. You suck all forms of dick imaginable... just an OFFTOPIC reply to a moron anonymous coward.
