HuffYUV is also "lossless" in a roundabout sort of way (think MJPEG + gzip'd error matrices), but only gets at best 2.5:1 compression as a result. Great for editing, wouldn't use it for distribution.
Have affected staff announce rates to the nuisance callers, log all time spent on calls, then generate invoices for the billable hours. (You are not forcing them to call you; they can stop running up their bill any time they choose.) Wait 90 days or whatever the law requires, then turn over to a collection agency.

Yes, and point taken, but consider that that was never intended for public deployment. It was an in-house call-center app (running on a standardized machine configuration) that the staff fielding the phone calls entered data into. After the storm, there were so many more people needing to put in requests than they could handle, that they opened it up to the public for direct entry.
We (the public libraries) were in a bad situation because of this, since many people were looking to us for access. Lots of web terminals could have been whipped up quickly from donated old PCs and Linux, but this forced a need for Windows/IE on newer systems. Ultimately the solution was getting Microsoft to say "go ahead and install what you need and we'll worry about licensing later" but obviously that's a one-off event.
So they were annoyed when "Xerox-ing" became a generic term for photocopying?
I'm sure they will be much happier when it becomes a generic term for spam, spyware, and identity theft instead, as in "that f'ing virus xeroxed all my personal data to the Russian Mafia and now my bank accounts are empty" or "those damn pill peddlers keep xeroxing me the same tired crap, trying to sell me Viagra".

It's not about you, or us. Ask the bigots that will complain to the school board and try to have her fired if it's a big deal or not.
Are you now or have you ever been? See, the truth rarely matters in emotional issues like this - the accusation alone is enough to ruin her career, regardless of whether or not it should.
Most people who complain to schools demanding a book be banned from the library/classroom will PROUDLY tell you they haven't read it. And the reason is, the perception is more important to them than the facts. Some talking head told them it was bad, and they trust that talking head more than their own.
Also, the libel charge is about deliberately making false claims to injure someones reputation, regardless of the specifics of the claim. If this were in the heart of cattle country and they (falsely) said she was a militant animal-rights activist, what then?
Most US broadband providers *already* TOS against VPN use, on the grounds that if you're using your personal-use connection for work, you should pay twice as much for the same bandwidth in order to get a little "business" flag on the account.
Heck, stick a jumper on there that clears the memory and resets to factory defaults.
Are you kidding? Those jumpers cost two cents each...
By the time it makes it past the lawyers (are jumpers patented?), engineering (DIP switches are cooler, man), QA (Oh, you wanted them soldered on, too?), and marketing (Exclusive New Sleeve-and-Pin Programming Control Interface!) - the card will cost $100 more.
Instead of just minimizing the window out of the way, it has to go through a complex visual transformation whereby it shrinks into a funnel and is sucked cyclone-like into the taskbar.
Isn't that exactly the sort of thing we're talking about?
Granted Windows has some pretty stupid eye-candy (Vista's new chrome won't work it you've got a pirate copy? Oh Noes!), but at least Windows doesn't require third-party software to turn off the excess junk. Can OS X say the same? (note: this is a serious question; maybe they don't anymore - I don't know.)
This is why ICANN issued rules that any company that is (or *ever* has been) involved with such a project is banned from being a registrar. Competition is bad for their business.

I don't think that's what's leaking - you'd have arcs coming off it and/or an ozone smell.
Man, that's the greatest disease ever; how do *I* get that?

YT maxes out at 320x240, with a 100MB/10min limit on free accounts.

Most of these e-gold-type systems are scams that skim off 1% or more of your balance every month. I trust them even less.

I've seen materials of varying age; the main ones being:
"Captain Blood" by Rafael Sabatini
"The Master Key" by L. Frank Baum
"The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien
"Misery" by Steven King
Now that you mention it, I think I've seen a few using Stainless Steel Rat as well, but not recently.
I saw two in a row using text from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but none since. (One should not meddle in the affairs of wizards...)
Traditionally, it's the music biz that screws the artists and the consumers.
Now, Warner plans to make themselves available in DVDA???
Are we sure the South Park boys aren't behind this one?

Dammit, man! Apple's going to sue you if you leak details about the next OS X like that!

IGN also runs Rotten Tomatoes, the movie review /news site. Fox makes, hmmm, movies. Maybe it isn't just about games...

But yeah, most of the "official" romantic subplots don't rise above the level of the "fan"-tasy ones.
