The police have considerable oversight from internal policing mechanisms and judicial review of their behaviour. While the police generally have greater legal powers than other citizens they can be and are arrested and tried for breaches of them. In some parts of the US, senior police positions are elected directly.
The NSA regularly ignore Congressional oversight committess, refuse to provide information. They're a big black budget and legal hole who are largely free to do as they please.
Where else can you find as many videos and pictures that take up a ton of space?
Mainstream movies and CDs. I have hundreds of music CDs, which equals far more porn pulled off the net than I'll ever likely have. Factor in mainstream movies, and there's no contest.
MP3s and ordinary movies and TV. A season of Buffy is a 6 DVD (40+ GB compressed) boxed set. A porn film is half an hour (an hour if you're watching upmarket stuff with a lame attempt at a story line) and the consumers are probably only interested in half the footage, anyway.
Run to your local trademark and patent attorney. Trademark the name. Sell it to a major publisher.

Many OO fans are Java monkeys too stupid or arrogant to do anything as uncomfortable as learn the relational model. These people are about as much value to anyone as tits on a bull, and they certainly aren't programmers.
That would explain why CASE is now part of the SQL standard and supported in pretty much evey worthwhile SQL RDBMS.

No, you can't.
And the company that manufactures the most widely used ones is owned a major Republican supporter. There is at least one shareholder who is an actual politician. They've started suing news outlets publishing this information, though.
I should have been clearer - the only Hollywood involvements is that New Line are funding/distributing the movie. And they have the sense to stay out of the way, other than that.
This ain't aHollywood film in any meaningful sense. The main Hollywood thing about it is New Line having the sense to stay the fuck out of Peter Jackson's way.
Like it wasn't your concern when Qwest went broke? I presume you were fortunate enough not to use any Internet resources impacted when they switched the routers off.
If telcos does tits up your last mile either dissapears or becomes a monopoly. So you either have nowt. Or pay whatever your local monopoly feels like having you pay.
You've kind of missed the key point, though: once it starts becoming harder and requiring more knowledge to do it, the phone company will be safe again. The danger comes from pervasive, easy to use VoIP services which anyone can use. If the decree can drive it back to the point where only a few geeks are doing VoIP it's all a success for the telco.
That's why your database is an excellent place to store the metadata - such as captions, which page they appear on, what the thumbnail is, and so forth - with a pointer to a location on the file system where the image resides. Best of both worlds.
HTML was designed as a markup language. JSPs and PHP do not solve these problems. You mean "HTTP". And cookies provide some level of statefulness.
As for Curl, let me quote Tim Berners-Lee back at himself:
Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X' label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network
Besides, Curl are dying and taking their technology with them.
Acorn were the company, not the computer. And they didn't just use the ARM, they invented it (Acorn RISC Machine), and became the first company to produce a consumer RISC platform.

Roughly half of US citizens fail to vote, so I don't think their politicians have much to worry about.
Don't look at it then.

Access makes a perfectly acceptable UI for Oracle databases.

Volume charging, most likely. This is the norm in most of the world.
In the long run, violent overthrow of the government worked OK for the French, English, and the United States. It's more of a last resort, though.

I'd rather rely on the availability of Oracle DBAs than the availability of a contractor who hacked together thier own DB substitute.
If the problem is sufficiently simple that a full RDBMS is overkill, some db variant is perfect and ships on every *ix.
Been there, done that. Joins aren't a problem with the right indices.

If you're enough of a fuckwit to build a golf course where it's unsustainable, you deserve what you get.
Especially when the golf course owner's cure is to cause massive destruction to public property and the private property of others.
Perhaps you should learn something about the topic you're speaking to. Then you'd look like less of a complete moron.
Comfortable for you, perhaps. I have a big neck, and finding shirts that don't throttle me when a tie is done up is a pain.
That'll be why the Java app servers kept throwing errors and crashing, while the
Perl is not interpreted and has not been for a long, long time.

Recording artists have tried to sue recording companies because their contracts resemble indentured servitude (slavery) which is illegal.
It's possible that as restrains of trade and work for hire agreements become more overreaching you'll see someone sue on these grounds.
