When are Barbies going to be regulated for causing unrealistic standards to be set in young children's minds? Or obsession with materialism and shallow values?
Never, because we're all supposed to be good little consumers who buy what we're told to.
Its clear that the federal government is zealous in its crusade to protect corporate America from "hackers". But who protects individuals from shady companies?

Compaq is a major player in the storage industry. IIRC, HP's offerings are rebranded OEM, while Compaq actually did something with DEC's StorageWorks platform.
, but you can get a "bad" rating if you're a careful shopper and visit many local car dealerships who (technically illegal, but common practice) run a credit check on everyone who seems to be a serious buyer
How can they run a credit check if you don't give them any financial info? If you're still comparison shopping, why are you giving them enough info to run a credit check?
The notice "was on display on the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard."
There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or a corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years , the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped,or turned back, for their private benefit.
After you're done speaking with your Congresscritter, give them your phone number and tell them to feel free to call you with questions about this matter.
ALSO!!! Tell them that if they need a Congressional POV on this, they should talk to Congressman Rick Boucher! We have a friend in Congress, USE HIM!

Lets face it how many bands are there today that will leave a mark on society like the Beatles did or Elvis?
Oh come on, I just asked a 12 year old girl, and she told me that, "like, N*Sync are just totally, like awesome! Like who's that Elvis guy anyways?"
NBC and Ford put in a 3-5 minute intermission when they broadcast "Schindler's List" sans commercials.
Deriving the speed of light from batteries and magnets, thereby also proving that the speed of light is independent of your frame of reference!
I thought that was Ole Romer, not Galileo.
Oh, and Michelson measure the speed of light very accurately without radar and space probes, without using the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
BZZZT! And thank you for playing! Here's your lovely parting gift.
Yes, the more massive object will hit with more FORCE, but the accelleration (and hence the velocity upon impact) will be the same for both objects.
So, we should just rush out and put money in the pockets of the MPAA?
For example, SCSI-2 device types include:
Direct Access Devices (Hard Drives)
Sequential Access Devices (Tape Drives)
Printer Devices
Processor Devices(*)
Write Once Devices (WORM, CD-R)
Optical Memory Devices (CD-RW, MO)
Medium-Changer Devices (Jukeboxes,Tape Libs)
Communications Devices
(*) Yes, you can do processor-processor communications using SCSI. You do, however, need a target-mode driver.
He obviously inbestigates credit card numbers from Best Buy!
Damn, you beat me to it by an hour and a half! and I didn't see your post!
I don't expect my mechanic to know how to fix my car,
Maybe you should find another mechanic. That's exactly what a mechanic SHOULD know.
Yet another reason not to shop at Best Buy

Yep. To the author of that .sig,
I shamelessly borrowed that quote in my comments to the Judiciary Committee.
If you wish, I will compensate you for it, somehow...
