Cool--thanks! I've been using Scroogle, but am not completely confident it's not a honeypot (though they'd be quite disappointed in my relatively boring searches). It's good to diversify so that it becomes harder to build a comprehensive profile anyway IMO.
Probably not, but I can't say I'd be surprised if it came out that they had. It certainly is an overreaching ruling, and (on the face of it, not considering the backlash) quite convenient for the Apex slave shop. We're well on the way to a degree of corruption here that would make an Egyptian customs officer blush.
As for searching my computer... Fat chance. There is client information on it.
I'm not a lawyer, but here's how I picture that going down: "That's okay. The court will appoint a special master to image your disk and keep your client information out of the hands of the plaintiffs. Costs for the special master will be borne by the defendant inasmuch as he is the one with extraordinary needs."
DRM doesn't make any sense on books. No one even has to "crack" it -- it only takes one person with access to type the book into an open format and distribute it. The publishers can either suck it up and realize this, or lose out to the pirates who provide a better, more convenient product for zero cost.
Okay, I apologize. I had to look on Wikipedia to find it, but you're referring to Pandora's "deceitful nature." While the ad hominem still pisses me off and I'm still glad we got the bomb before the Commies, at least I learned something today.
Okay, you're either being a _fucking_ _dick_ or you're over my head. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and let you explain to me how invoking catching hope from Pandora's box (which was the metaphor you used for the creation of the bomb shows anything about my "talent for deceit." If there's a huge gap in my classical knowledge that's causing me to miss a reference, I'll give you the apology due.
OptimizeGoogle does this for Firefox, at least on a domain by domain basis. It would be nice if Google would do it. Another thing I've found useful is to minus out the spammy search terms (e.g. -"direct download" -"full version" -keygen).

Good point--I hadn't thought of it from that angle. Thanks!
I must be missing something here, but wouldn't the sum of the number of votes cast (available in the per-precinct results) give you the turnout?
And be picked up at home by a friendly KGB agent on Tuesday.
. . . in the life of the New York Times. What remains to be seen now is whether the chapter after that will be Chapter 7 or Chapter 11.
You do know the DMCA passed unanimously in the Senate, right?
Was wondering the same thing--such a library would be fun to play with.
It's like those 38-DDDs are right in your face!

There, fixed that for you.

You're close. Being salary means you're paid to do a job and spend >= 40 hours a week at work.

I predict a sudden and marked increase in the reported userbase of Lotus Notes from between March 26, 2007 and October 3, 2007.
I was trying to use Lotus Notes and was throttled. Darn inconvenient. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

It's a shame that Jack Valenti was allowed to die of natural causes.

What the fuck are you talking about? Is that the only way you have to "win" an argument?
. . . need to be regulated like the installment loan contracts they actually are, and subject to the Truth In Lending Act.
"That's obese!"

Thirded. I don't know why they haven't been removed for cloaking.
