When you are shopping for residence at UF, they make you very aware of the internet policies. Living with a crippled connection is one of the drawback of living on campus. If you want to run Kazaa, move off campus to one of the billion cheap apartments, and sign up to any of the handful of ISP's that are not affiliated with the University. You are not captive by any means.
UF already runs a wireless service on campus, so I don't see any informal peer to peer starting up. Don't forget anyone capable of setting up such a system probably already lives off campus, and is download of a regular ISP. (I know I am)
Side note: Icarus only effects those who live in the dorms, so I don't think there is any realistic way of seeing if blank media sales went up due dorm students downloading, as the trend of the area is for everyone to run out to Best Buy and pick up a pack of CD-R's like it was a gallon of milk.
Actually, my dad did #5 to Visa, when they were trying to sell him more insurance/features/useless crap. Kinda backfired the next day when he tried to swipe his card and it got rejected. Calling back and proving that you're not dead is all kinds of crazy fun.
Have you seen how long they have extended copyrights?
Pretty much at this rate, the RIAA will actually finish suing everyone before the Mouse is in public domain.:-D
The Government does this all the time.
For example, they could just up and tell cable companies to switch to digital broadcasts without actually specifying a standard. (http://www.fcc.gov/dtv/)
Usually it's with the best of intentions.
Something tells me however that blocking is not even close to a practical solution. I just wish someone smarter than I can come up with a good way to treat the social issue.
It's still Rock and Roll to me...

Actually, I think you misunderstood the basic premise of the experiment. The "Infrasound" was added on top of music played by a Russian pianist.
In Soviet Russia....wait, I promised I wouldn't make a lame reference.

It's call load testing. Fair guess as to what get's squirted into that box.

Can someone post some support for this? Perhaps a link or two. I'll be your best friend if you do.
Or at least it will be in Service Pack 1 :-)

Did anyone else get a very Architect-ish feel from that paragraph? Had to go back and read it once or twice more, before it began to even make sense.
Talk about wasted technology. Until they also perfect pee-at-the-pump, you still have to go inside the store. (Credit to whoever said it first)
So what is the difference between disinterested and uninterested? :-p
No, seriously, Webster was no help whatsoever.
Jetsons? Hardly. We've yet to reach the Jeffersons.

I was under the impression that Cosplay was shorthand for "Costume Play"...then again, what do I know?
