There are two problems with the "DON'T BUY THEIR MUSIC" idea.
1) The RIAA represents many companies so it is not likely to go out of business just because a few of its member companies are hurt by a boycott.
2) If you boycott the RIAA member companies then they will just claim that their losses are due to piracy on the internet and will say they need stricter DRM and fewer online stores to combat that trend.
Keep in mind that you are not permitted to use a computer or any other electronic devices for the actual test. So if you need a computer to solve one of the problems in the practice test, then you had better skip any similar problems on the real thing.;)
It's funny you should mention Robo-cop. Because that is what we think of when we see bipedal robots. However, now these kids (who hopefully have not seen Robot-cop yet) will think of Sony's Robots. It is important to influence the public perception of new an innovative yet controversial products like this one.
10000 suits * $3000.00 dollars settled/suit = 30 million dollars paid to the RIAA over 20 months or 1.5million/month.
1. Get the millions of people pirating music to each pay $5 a month for RIAA Insurance. 2. Use that pot of money to pay the $3000.00 out-of-court settlement for each of your members that gets caught. 3. Get rich. 4. Sell your company to the RIAA to eliminate the middle man. 5. Your members pay $5 a month to the RIAA directly and they make a killing.;););)
I have always felt that environmentalist should embrace urbanization. However, I feel that it is more important for industry to exist in urban settings then people. This is because when industries cluster in a single location it becomes immediately clear what the environmental effects of these industries will be. The combined results of these industries waste products can be seen much easier than those of decentralized and well insolated (by natural or artificial blinds) industries. The addition of people into the mix makes for incredible political force for change in industrial policies and practices. If you look at some the most tragic environmental disasters (such as Woburn, MA and Three Mile Island) they happened in places where the there was not as much political pressure for change because there were not as many people.

LEGO Compeitions are great. We hold a number of local ones for HS and grade school students (Rules + Pictures) and they always draw media attention and a HUGE turnout.

I think many IT departments restrict the use of IM software for this very reason.
