You are right to a certain extent. It would be very bad if Metallica was attacking Napster, be cause the network does have legitimate uses. However, this is not what they are doing, they are suing individuals who are breaking current copyright laws. Regardsless of the morality of the situation these people are breaking a current standing law, so Metallica's actions are legitimate. Now, whether copyright law needs to be changed is a different story, but under current law, Metallica is right.
This is totally different than the WAVE situation you mention. In that case kids were being encouraged to turn in others who exibited weird behavior, not who committed actual crimes. In this case, if we do get a law against spamming, then these people would be encouraged others who are breaking the law. Totally different.
Any Windows Computer with a Scripting Host installed will run the script when it is opened. This means any computer with IE4+, Win98SE, or anyone who has made automatic updates to their system.
Nope. If you rip the song off a CD you own, and then give others the oportunity to download it that is illegal, as proven in the my.mp3.com case. Even having a copy of a song you own on your HD is a legal question mark.
While I agre with you that Metallica is acting stupidly, in terms of the current leagality of the situation, they are right. Even if you do own the CD, if the songs come up in a Napster search then they are availible for others to download, which is distributing a copyrighted work. Even making digital copies with your computer for your own use is questionable and yet to be tested in court.
Check out the new libretto at Japan Palmtop Direct. It might have japanese characters as well as english characters on the keys, but it is a lot more advanced than the old librettos.
Remember, these 180s in company policy we have see are the direct consequence of a profit motive. If the anger customers, and they stop using the companies service, then profit certainly goes down.

Who is the They you are reffering to? Wrapster was not created by the author of Napster. Just some one who wanted to expand the capabilities of Napster.
I don't know if oil fields are actually filling up. (Haven't heard about this) However, the use of more powerful computers is allowing oild companies to use 3-dimensional siesmology where they used to only use 2-d. This means they can place taps more efficiently, effectivly returning production to fields thought to be dead. Also remember that we have had 20-30 years of oil left for about 80 years. There was an article in the Saturday post in the 1920s saying that we had thirty years left, and similar claims since then.

I think he was just refereing to the use of Widgets. And the difficulty which cmes in when you have several different widget sets.
Wouldn't make sense to pirate all of their songs?
You could have a seperate key which designates free songs with no owner.
Meaning, do you have a text file which needs to be parsed? (html, source, ect.) Then perl is a good tool to use.

I dunno, Linux has been ported to some crazy machines. Wouldn't a modem allow you to doa net install?

More information on this?
Athlon motherboards are already incompatible with Intel processors. The Athlon core just can't do SMP right now, nor does AMD have a SMP chipset.

Find me one Fossil fuel, or renewable resource which is more expensive today than a decade ago. (In real dollars, take out inflation)
Ummmm... no. We use voting booths and machines, so that no one, even the people running the show know who you voted for.

Rob has a response to this in the FAQ.
Because I didn't know about. Nw I do, thank you.
What? SCSI?!?
They have also reduced the diameter of the platters, so the heads have less distance to travel, making seek times faster.
Sorry I have to ask, but what is MFM?
And they thought "Enhanced" Cds were a big inovation, hah!
