I was at a parade for the 4th of July and in the parade was an Elecric Porsche! This is a link to another person and their experiences. So, why not go for the best? No - I don't know how much Oomph the vehicle keeps
Slashdot.org poster "Kilroy" is actually John Q. Smith, who lives at 123 Main Street, Apartment 3B, in Anytown, Utah. His social security number is 123-45-6789, his Visa credit card number is 4321-1234-5678-9012, and he most commonly uses the password "thelma" for his online accounts, and the PIN number 45678 for his ATM card and credit cards. His unlisted home telephone number is 801-555-1234, and his cell phone number is 801-555-4321. He has a special pager just to be notified when his wife gives birth, that number is 801-555-9876.
Hey - That's *me* that you are talking about! Now I am gonna have to take you to court to get that removed!
Would it still be a potential DMCA violation if you had your own personal computing policy that automatically deletes files that pass the "isEULA" test? Could one say that they didn't try to delete the file and that some background process did it for them?
Seems that with computers being privately owned property the user should be able to define (and enforce) policies about what types of files are on their machine.
Certainly someone who runs software that scours their hard drive for temporary files is in the right to delete those. Could the same be said about this?
But Stallman, the Thomas Paine of the Net
Not that I have a personal preference here . . . But that alone could bring the Trolls and Flamers out in droves!
But wait - that was Jon Katz!

Finally, not forced to watch sports anymore!

Now I can peacefully go back to pretending that sports don't exist! I never did like sitting through a Super Bowl game waiting for the next new commercial.
I say 'Bless you all!' to the folks behind this revival!
Well, one of the problems that people have is the way that the MPAA and RIAA are *adapting* their business models. Squelching fair-use rights and alienating legitimate customers is not a good direction to go. I agree that they need to do something, but this direction just reeks of problems.
As someone who works at Intel supporting the fab, it is absolutely amazing! The marketing folks may spout all day long, but the technology developing inside the clean rooms is great!
Of course they are getting close to hosting an open house for the locals (yes - more PR!) to educate them about the chip making process. Seems like us technically inclined folks can't take 2 steps without bumping into a marketing guy!
You can check out the first 5 chapters of The Web Between the Worlds by Charles Sheffield or The Fountains of Paradise by none other than Arthur C. Clarke.
Both are an intereting read and were written at about the same time.
So if the argument about public $$ is to hold, then the CIA, FBI, NSA, etc. all should release the details of their inner workings . . . I can't see anybody high up accepting this . . .

Karate Master has a name : Kuni played by Gedde Watanabe. Of course this is all taken from imdb. (end anal rant)
All this because I foolishly bought a copy of the script at a local sci-fi con when I was 14 . . . . Oh the wasted hours!
Yeah - right. Except that:
- I don't need an EA game to play my {XBox, PS2, Gamecube}.
- Other companies actually make games too.
- Have you every tried to 'play' with an M$ OS? That is *nothing* like a game!
