The problem with bittorrent is that Diebold can read the torrent file and send cease and desist orders to every host at once. With the current scheme, Diebold can only issue one cease and desist order at a time because only one host is visible at a time. This forces Diebold to do a lot more work and greatly increases the longevity of the effort.
I have had the best luck with NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride). They have a high capacity and have very little memory effect. The can be charged and recharged often without full discharge with very little degradation in performance. I have had very good luck with Radio Shack and Panasonic equiptment.
I couldn't agree with this more. Recorded music (read information) should be distributed freely while live performances (read services) should be charged for. This business model has worked very well on many open source software projects, and it's just as viable elsewhere.
In my ideal music industry, the RIAA would be abolished thus doing away with the old business model of influencing music purchases though advertising. CDs would be available directly from the artist(s) at a highly reduced price ($1-2 to cover media and production costs), and freely online. Concert tickets would be more expensive, in the range of $40-50, and the artist(s) would give more performances in smaller venues. This would take the emphasis off production and put it on talent. The artist(s) with little talent but good advertising and production would fade away, while the artist(s) who really had talent would grow in popularity. Music which is more production based (read electronica), while fun to experience live, could justifiably be priced higher to cover increased production costs.
I could see this model being applied across the board. The freedom of information coupled with the sale of services just seems like the most logical, natural order of things. And everyone lived happily ever after.
nothing could be worst than the last one. hell, i can't even remember what it was called. and no matter what anyone says, every loyal trekkie will go to see it. myself included.

Did you somehow miss the 2000 election fiasco?

There already is a workaround. It's called gamespy tunnel. I've played Halo online many times already...
