I guess linux will have to be updated so that everything opens with a triple-click.... that, or suffer the wrath of the $699 licensing fee (or am I mixing stories up now)?
"Do you think Dish will compensate their customer base? Do they even care about their customer base?"
Yes, Dish is providing a little compensation to the customers; they are going to take $1 off your monthly bill as long as the networks are missing, and they pick a few networks not part of your normal package and show them to you for free.
The scary thing is that they have this information in the first place... there was always access to the information, and this system just lets the police/government access it faster:
"Paul S. Cameron, president of Seisint Inc., the Boca Raton, Fla., company that developed the Matrix system and donated it to the state, said: 'It is exactly how law enforcement worked yesterday, except it's extraordinarily faster. In this age of risks that appear immediately, you have to be able to respond immediately.'"
Since most spammers advertise and sell a product, spammer can't be anonymous. At some point you will be able to send money in one direction, and goods in another. This is not particulary hard to track.
This is true, but lets say you've got 75 pieces of spam in your inbox. How do you know which ones were sent by an illegal virus, and which were sent by some dedicated spam server that is (more or less) complying with the law?

Pay for it.
As unfortunate as it is, the RIAA does own the music, the artists turn over thier rights when they sign the contract. The company pays for the instruments, studios and ads, and then they get to distribute it. Both the artists and the RIAA have a pretty good deal going, the only people getting screwed are us.
$40 billion is also enough to cover I-5 in pennies, from Canada to Mexico, 25 times over. (Accounting for gaps in-between pennies, 6 lanes and a shoulder)

Seriously, I object to a show being based on a twitter post, but at least they picked the best one
Nah, conanobrien has a better twitter feed.
I wonder why they don't make it into a show.
Judge away
Zinc Whiskers? Hey, they stole my username!
Forget your username, they stole my band name!
So much for 'Eddie And The Zinc Whiskers'

Seems reasonable to me

Now instead of being raped at the car dealership, you can just visit their website.
