Hey, you're preaching to a guy who's almost solely a gin and tonic drunk... Apple martinis were mentioned because it's the kind of girl-drink cocktail partiers thrive on.
Point taken. The martini gods will forgive you for the previous blasphemous murmurs then. The only bad thing about gin is the hangover... ugh. It's not pretty.
I prefer them stirred with 1 part sweet vermouth to 3 parts gin (the tangier the better) and with a slice of lemon instead of the olive detritus. Is this okay?
Sure. In fact that sounds pretty good, I think I'll give that a try next time. That actually sounds like a recipe some of those amateurs drinkers could cut their teeth on.
You had until the part about apple martinis. There is absolutely no reason to desecrate a martini with anything besides vermouth. Go back to drinker's kindergarten and learn the basics. A martini is gin and vermouth, period. Some may say simply introducing the bottle of vermouth to the martini glass is enough, or that the light that shines first through a stained glass window, then through a vermouth bottle, and finally onto a martini glass is enough vermouth to make the martini divine. If you're a bit of fop or really can't stand the taste of juniper berries use vodka. Oh, and James Bond was an idiot. Martinis should be stirred, not shaken, to preserve their crystal clear properties in a fine glass.
The publishers said they have been guardedly cooperative.
How authors will react is another question.
Isn't this what happens in the RealWorld? You walk into a bookstore, open it up, read a few pages and make a decision on whether or not you want to buy it?
I think publishers and authors would be rather short-sighted to not allow potential customers shop online the same way they shop in brick and mortar stores.
people might start to understand what a monoculture of poor quality software enables.
Whatever. That won't happen anytime soon.
Just as an example, we brought a remote user's laptop into the shop the other day to update it and found over 250 infected files. Even though we provide the option everytime he logs in to update the virus identites, they hadn't been updated in over a year.
To many people, a computer is like a screwdriver. They could care less about it, they just want to pick it up, make it work, and toss it aside when they are done with it. It's unfortunate, yes, but that's just the way it is.
Hemming said Kazaa avoids spyware, but the service does include "adware" from third parties, which allows them to keep track of whether users are responding to online ads.
I think the first step in finding the answer to this question is to find out what ties Sirius Radio has with existing DSL and cable Internet service providers; as those companies are the ones who stand to lose the most from the popularity of 802.11 technology.

Carry on.
