Yes, for anything of value. Take pictures of the items, record brand/model and serial # if applicable, and a scan of receipts can be kept electronically online through online storage, email, etc. Physical copies can be stored in a safety deposit box, with family members, or possibly lawyers and insurance agents. Multiple locations is ideal and only have to update once or twice a year or after large purchase.
Just because people didn't doesn't mean that they shouldn't. Learn from their mistakes.
So you're ok with paying someone else for your music again? That's retarded. If you didn't collect insurance money for the lost collection, I could see downloading free copies. (Preferably receipts, proof of purchase, destroyed media, etc. of the original collection would be kept) Keeping copies of receipts, pictures and inventory lists of valuable items offsite (physically and electronically) is a good practice.
AllofMP3 is stating that they are following all of their countries laws including paying royalty fees to ROMS. I doubt they will be shutdown or actually pay any money. Changes in Russian law could affect how they conduct business in the future though.
If you're in a country that has extra fees attached to blank media to cover the possibility that you might use it for piracy, doesn't that mean you've already paid the **AA their money?

The scientists will use the transgenic pigs to study human disease. Because the pig's genetic material encodes a protein that shows up as green, it is easy to spot.
So if, for instance, some of its stem cells are injected into another animal, scientists can track how they develop without the need for a biopsy or invasive test.
As an American, I know that is totally not true, but Greenland has been giving me some dirty looks lately so just to be on the safe side we should invade it.

Most people I know just want the OS to run the programs they want and to know where to click to get those programs to run.
Now that Google is #2, it's time to drop it and move on to the next new (or old) search engine. Before Google, I remember using Webcrawler and later on Dogpile. So what's next?
Which search engine do you think we should propel up the charts?
I did know that I didn't put enough ^H when I wrote it, but I figured it conveyed the meaning. Silly me, this is Slashdot. Well, at least, I didn't post some quickly made code here. Though I have learned a few things from the OT discussions of posted code. Hopefully, you'll have learned from my omission.
Shouldn't the RIAA get a couple of rock solid cases to win in court instead of extort^H^H^H settling for money? If piracy is that rampant, shouldn't they be able to get some slam dunk cases in court? Couldn't they link a case or two and have involved third parties testify? Like a druggie or undercover officer testifying against a drug dealer? IANAL, so I don't know how that would work in a civil case.
At first glance, being able to limit deep linking looks ok, but it does have major consequences.
1. How will this affect search engines? Google could have found the content. Robert Davis could change his site to be a search engine for specific content, and would that make it legal then?
2. What steps should the content owner have to take to make aware that content should not be deep linked? (Remember the internet is international) Would it be something that the W3C or another organization would put out as a "standard"? Countries could make their own laws then with this "standard" in mind. Something along the line of robots.txt or a META element would show the content owners intentions, but would not be apparent to a person copying a url. Would the content owner have to put everything in a DONOTLINK folder?
I do think the content owner should have to do the equivalent of posting a "Do Not Enter" sign, but not be required to put locks on the doors.

Questions and prepared responses to choose from should be neutral as to intended outcome. A biased question or questionnaire encourages respondents to answer one way rather than another.

"I'm doing a project on people's perceptions of Microsoft. I wanted to know: How do you feel about Microsoft? Please be descriptive and thorough."
However, I think it's fair to argue that ideas such as "economy," "jobs," and "government" , and the industrialization that comes with them, are far from natural. So if we as a race are going to disrupt things that are clearly natural (i.e., species survival), we can't justify those actions through natural selection.
It's not about justifying, natural selection is what it is. As the environment changes, those species that are able to adapt will survive. Treat humans as an invasive species http://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/ if it makes you feel better. A "natural" virus or poisoned ecosystem could wipe us out too. There are other social animals that have jobs, government, industrialization, and domestication of other species. Some of these species can vastly change their surrounding environment. Humans are just better at it than most species.
Now, should we as the dominant species take care to protect our environment and try to maintain the existing status quo? For the most part, I think so.
Modern weapon systems can win wars. Modern weapon systems do not occupy the country, soldiers do. Occupation is required if you want a friendly regime to take power. Anytime you have a foreign army occupying your streets, there's going to be deaths on both sides. Take away the AKs and give them sporks and you will still see people on both sides die.
After reading this, I started thinking about why laserdisc "failed" compared to VCRs. I think the recording factor was the drive to VCRs. Laserdiscs' large size, durability, and the flipping of the disc were just added. VCRs were dominant almost 30 years. DVD players came out late 1996-early 1997 and didn't exceed VCR tape rental until 2003. Now, three years later, the industry wants families to abandon the DVD and choose between competing formats with $400+ price tags and limited title availability when they can pick up a DVD player for $15 during the holidays. If they had sorted out the differences like they did with the DVD standard, they would have had an easier time pushing a new standard to replace DVDs. Now, not only do they have to push competing standards, they have to push HDTV purchases too. HDTV has been dragging its heels, but is finally starting to make headway and is the standard for big screen purchases.
Actually, I thought it as more of a script-kiddie move. He's got the crashed ufo which they know how to operate shields and transmit info on an all-unit channel. He takes the ufo to the mothership (probably past any external firewall - this is why computer centers are secured buildings) and transmits "Shields OFF" on the all-unit channel which the mothership automatically broadcasts out. Before the aliens can correct this, they blow up the mothership. No real hacking - just get the "Shields OFF" command into the communications suite.
Other scenes like Swordfish's blowjob/hack scene, I just figured he had already installed a backdoor into the DOD back when he was hacking.
I was wondering if Interlink had contacted Nintendo before the public sale of Wiis. Otherwise, it would seem like they waited for actual production and sale so a lawsuit would generate the highest amount of damage. Granted some patent infringements aren't discovered until later, but with as much media attention Wii has gotten, it seems unlikely.
I always thought OLPC was a misnomer and it would end up being 1-5 laptops per village. I did think some of the choices were influenced too much by companies involved, but that's the way the world works.

and who says they didn't want to get bought out?
1. Make software with possible illegal uses
2. Become popular
3. ???? = sell out
4. Profit
5. Repeat
By selling out, you're getting money and limiting lawsuits that would involve you.
Just re-installed Windows on a computer and updated everything except WMP11.
Don't worry I installed Debian too.
