That would be amusing to see because most of us can't remember when we signed up... 8+ years ago is a long time to try and remember something, I already forget what I had for lunch.
Claiming ignorance can only go so far until there is undeniable mens rea. By no means can a person steal a car, and when caught claim they "didn't know it was illegal" and consequently offer to pay $2500 for the stolen '97 Tempo.
If RIM were to close down their US network because of this latest judgement it would signal to the industry and their shareholders that they would rather just give up. As much as doing this would highlight the problem with patents, it wouldn't generate any more sympathy for RIM. In some aspects I'd consider this move comparable to a child quitting a game because the rules 'arent fair'.
What we will see is for RIM to fight this out until the point that the US government forces a shutdown within the US. But do note that a previous injunction (which was later lifted before being forced on RIM) specifically excluded US government service from being shutoff.
At this point you will see RIM implement the architecture modifications to no longer be violating the patents.
Although it stems from the article linked regarding Eric Schmidt, the discontent Google has towards CNet is a result of the general implications of that article. The 'story' is loaded with hints that 'Google is big brother' and with all these services Google can know what you're doing and who you're doing.
With that aside, a company can decide with no reason (*gasp!*) to not talk to any news source if they don't want to.
Nasa is actually considering multiple methods for heating Mars. These include: nuclear dust over the south pole (dark dust attracts sun energy which melts south pole), Methanogens (can survive Mars and produce methane), Space mirror (heating the southpole to melt), Drilling into Mars to use it's geothermal energy, and a few other even crazier ideas.
There is a lot of theories out there and some are experimental. We can't expect success on the first try so sending multiple attempts at once will most likely be NASA's approach.
They've now closed the support website down and added authorization. I was able to access until a few minutes ago (mind you slowly), and then the authorization was turned on.
