Would also be interesting to know how they got rocket fuel. I'd assume that NASA or somebody is contributing (is it still amature if they do), as this stuff isn't really available at your nearest Esso station, although at one time Jet fuel was more publicly available.
RTFA. They used solids. The mixture isn't that difficult, curing them is the hard part.
On the other hand, if you terminate the license by removing the P2P software, the stealware is still active. At that point, regardless of whether the EULA is legal and enforceable, it's now fraud or theft.
And no, we don't need new "digital" laws to cover this, existing laws cover it very nicely.
The problem is that Mommy and Daddy need someone to blame when little Johnny (or Eric or Dylan) goes on a shooting rampage.
Now, it's probably not Mom and Dad's fault either. Little Johnny is plenty old enough to know right from wrong and that killing his schoolmates is WRONG.
But there is a very human need to find a "reason", and video games are a convenient scapegoat. Besides, then some politician can call for banning them in order to be seen "DOING SOMETHING!!! ANYTHING!!!". After all, he has to think of the children(tm).

I don't read at -1... so I just have to ask...
Did someone post "*BSD is Dead" yet?
So hit the "Print This Article" link, and you get the whole enchilada.
I suspect that the RIAA is distributing copies of my posts. I guess I'd better "disable, interfere with, block, or otherwise impair" riaa.org.
See my sig.

ObIANAL: IANAL
Or... call your friendly neighborhood sperm bank. Ask what they pay per donation. Multiply by 10 million.
But why did you send me a bill for finding my cat?
I can't tell if you're a troll or not.... It has a leading '0'.

Folding@Home does have a Linus client
So they gave Linus a book on origami and some paper? How does he find time to work on the kernel when he's folding at home?

What are you doing that you don't want the government to know about?
How about you? When you snail mail, is everything on postcards? Or do you use envelopes, you terrorist?
Whoops! Sorry, the section was blatant cut and paste, not plugging.
"the first half of this article David Scribner discussed ..., in this second half I will..." (emphasis mine).
Gee, could the "anonymous reader" be David Scribner giving himself a shameless plug? See the above quote.

I reinstall my Win2K annually - apparently not many other people do
I would, but it's too much of a pain in the ass... You have to reinstall EVERYTHING... you can't just back up your apps...
I said it in my comments to the Senate, and PC World quoted me. Search the link for "cost a fortune", right above "Hollywood's Loss".

The policy they're trying to enforce is one of "You can do whatever you like, as long as it doesn't infringe on any other civilization's rights."
Except when that civilization says "Stay out of my backyard, please." This was the whole cause of the Dominion War on DS9.
Pretty much.
Unfortunately for the librarian, the slashdotter is CowboyNeal.
In L.A., you walk up to the desk, fill out a form, and they hand you a card (3 actually -- one CC sized card, and 2 keyring cards).
Actually, besides x86 and Alpha, NT4 was also available for PPC and MIPS.

Now let's see if I can get a few more acronyms in there
Nope, not 316. 613.
