The way a real man prevents each person's "share" of the national debt from increasing, while still allowing Bush to spend like a crackwhore, is to fornicate like crazy. Then you cut more pieces of pie. It's simple stupid!
This is why Social Darwinism doesn't work. Stupid people breed too fast.
At that level of the game, it doesn't really matter what the bits are. It's about controlling the flow of the data. I really think at that level, they could care less whether the files eventually hit P2P or not. I'm sure there is a lot of stuff that no one really cares about (Gigli, anyone?), but it's new and it's important/valuable data to someone.
From your original post: When 9/11 occurred they took donations intended to help victims of 9/11 and used it elsewhere.
From your second post: In the very story you link to the first paragraph states clearly that the Red Cross had planned to allocate some of this money for other purposes. They didn't because the country called them on it and in effect made them do what they were suppposed to.
There is an obvious contradiction there. Planning to do something and actually doing it are two different things.

Get your facts straight next time. All money donated specifically for 9/11 was allocated for exactly that. Here is a follow-up on the long-term use of remaining funds.
The amount of money donanted after 9/11 was large in relation to the need. That seems to be less likely with this disaster.
If anyone was remotely interested in actually targetting pipelines, long haul fiber runs and/or train systems in the US, they could do so quite easily -- and coordinate an attack on multiple targets. This is a stupid idea, but it's hardly a threat to national security.
Dude, seriously, if you're paying $10/month to your bank -- find another financial institution. I haven't paid a monthly fee for banking services in like 10 years.
I don't understand why there was no criminal act. If the towing company had no right to take your car and refused to return it, wouldn't it be considered grand theft auto?
Awesome that you were able to get some justice though.
I run XP Pro at home too. In late '02 - early '03 (before I turned off auto-update), the updates came in frequently enough to be very inconvenient over a 56k connection. It was definitely at least once a week, and often more frequent than that. Maybe things have slowed down since then.

Does that $35k include the forklift required to move it?

Maybe they changed it based on comments, but everything loaded up in 1 ad-free page for me.

"Secunia Research has reported a vulnerability, which affects most browsers."
The first damn line of the vulnerability test page says MOST, not ALL browsers.
Hold on a sec.. Post internet? I didn't realize we were beyond that already. Where are we now? Or was that another typo?
According to the NPR clip, book sales have actually gone up! So, whether or not book prices have increased, more books are being sold.
That sounds pretty ominous. If he's still breathing (or even if he's not), kick him once for me!
From the Wired link: "None of the cases has gone to trial. Hundreds of defendants have opted to settle with the industry for around $3,000 each."
I'm sure he does have a real one.

Where is that? On the shelf next to your Universal Turing Machine and Flux Capacitor?
YHBT. YHL. HAND.
So, 32,256 gallons / mile.
or, ~3.1e-5 miles / gallon (which is about 2 inches).
I think this is a better pic though.
Look here for more info.

Oh, you damn Europeans and your common sense!
The only problem is that your friend didn't backup his data. Now he's pissed and is looking for someone to blame.
Not backing up your data is like not changing the oil in your car.

I'd suggest not holding your breath while waiting for that rebate cash to come rolling in.
