No they wouldn't probe. They are searching through Gnutella (or other p2p app), the same way you would. If you aren't sharing, then your host isn't in the P2P network, and thus they won't find you.
Actually, I'm aware of at least one. In 1982 a 747 flew into a cloud of ash from a nearby volcano, and both engines failed. The plane fell 25,000 feet until the pilots were able to restart the engines. Here is a link.
In my high school Latin class, we have a kid named Chris. He's intelligent, but a complete idiot. He never shuts up, he rambles on and on, and he has behavior problems.
So my teacher, who likes jokes, asks him to go down to the office because he is out of ID-10T forms. He tells Chris to ask them and bring back some forms. Well Chris leaves, and then the joke is explained and we are all laughing and can't wait for him to come back.
In about 10 minutes he comes back with some attendance forms in his hands. "Is this what you wanted?" Chris asks. He says he asked the administration staff and they looked, but couldn't find them, so they said they must be out of ID10-T forms, and they gave him some others. So now we are all ready to burst, because the entire school office staff was fooled as well. The teacher asks Chris to write "ID10T" on the board, and he does, and he still doesn't get it!!! After about 20 seconds he realized it, and it was hilarious. The worst part had to be the office staff being so integrated into their form numbers that they don't even think for themselves anymore.
The FCC has *nothing* to do with the towers, only the transmission equipment. You'd have to get a license to be able to transmit with the microwave equipment, but otherwise you could just cook really big TV dinners:)
...between earth dust and moon dust, then how can they be sure they even had real moon dust to start with? It's not like NASA couldn't have found rocks on earth with similar composition as the moon.
Start walking 0.75 miles then. You can use a pedometer (or whatever it's called). The key to exercising is to gradually build up. Each day walk 0.1 miles farther than the previous day, and before you know it, you will be walking 5 miles. Then you can start to add a slow jog for say half a mile, and then over weeks build up.
The main problem with exercise is attitude. It's all about attitude; if you are negative you won't get anywhere. Just think, if you eat correctly and slowly add exercise, you can be a computer geek AND in shape! Think of the women...
Where do you draw the line between a correction and altering truth? Is it okay to correct a mistyped date? How about a "mistyped" quote? There's really no good way to determine what is a correction and when you are covering up something.
I think this has interesting implications for the future. I certainly don't like the idea of Internet news sites silently changing pages, but the problem is that there is no definite way (besides Google and the like) to know if a page has been changed. It was sneaky enough when we found out that CNN does it, but at least they update the timestamp. Everything regarding modification date is controlled on the server that returns the page. What I'd like to see, if it doesn't exist already, is a system for clients to verify that a page has not been changed. Perhaps something like a MD5 hash of each webpage you visit being stored on your computer, and a warning displayed if it doesn't match upon future views. Of course this would cause massive false alarms on dynamic sites, but perhaps there could be introduced a standard for putting tags around the actual article on news sites, so they would know what else to filter out?
Otherwise, I can see these sort of changes becoming more and more prevalent, until eventually the fear of political-correctness and not insulting anyone completely drives us to immediately change anything considered "offensive" and deny it ever existed. Then, we will have 1984.

I'm going to fax my representative right now about it.:)
Cyrix actually...I have a "PR200" sitting here. They were known for their odd bus speeds. This particular one is printed as a 75 MHz bus at 2x. I ran it at 66 MHz with a 2.5x multiplier, with no problems.
I once performed a bizarre experiment one night...I put a full gallon of water in the freezer, and then took it out at 9 PM and started drinking it as fast as it would melt. As I drank more, I went to the bathroom more and more, but I noticed that my mental alertness increased. My typing rate on IRC shot up, and I felt really good. But I'm still here and in one piece:)

Give it to me!!! I'll be glad to take it off your hands and put it to uh, educational usage within my home-based lab environment. :)

I bet they need a fan on that CPU right about now :)

I find it interesting that according to Netcraft, nytimes.com is running on Solaris. Perhaps they should switch to Linux :)

One of the documents I've found was ironic in that it was a boy's report about biological viruses :)

Well I live in Arizona, and we do go outside to take pictures at noon :)
Maybe this one will finally be made of cheese! ;)

You can put voltage regulators on individual devices. They are available from Radio Shack. Furthermore, most devices are 12V
He means that people were claiming children that didn't exist. Hence when a valid SSN for each child was required, all the fake children vanished.
