If a company has hundreds/thousands of domain names, they're probably a pagerank farm or a domain squatter. Perhaps the extra expense will allow someone else (who can justify spending the extra $0.42) to use it for a legitimate purpose.

there was an anti-child prostitution law passed a few years back which made it a crime for a US citizen to have sex with a minor in a foreign country, even if it was legal to do so in said foreign country. No idea if it was ever challenged.
The Barbara Streisand BS was due to a California state law (protecting celebrities from paparazzi or whatever). It's irrelevant in New York, Utah, or anywhere else in the world.
I think a previous slashdot story mentioned he was happier with the new draft (look for the dupe this weekend). However, as it currently stands, Linux is written for v2 GPL (no "or greater" clause). Additionally, individual contributors retain their copyright, so every one of them would need to be tracked down and agree to the new version. That's not an impossible task -- when mozilla went GPL, they did it, and when sourceforge went closed source, they did it (although most contributors told them to fuck off, so in theory their code was removed. Anecdotal evidence suggests otherwise, though).
re #2: Apple licensed the amazon/1-click patent for iTunes (where you can buy something with 1 click, unlike amazon). They certainly could license patents from TiVo. Given TiVo's balance sheet, chances are they'll stop producing boxes within the next 3 years and do nothing but license their IP.
Wrong. Consider this scenario: The average salary in your country is $30k/year. Some make more, some make less. A socialist government is installed and declares that everyone has a salary of $30k/year. Anybody making more than that (ie, smarter, more educated, and hardworking people) will leave for a better (capitalistic) country. Anybody making less than that (ie, stupid, lazy, or academics) will rejoice.
Martha Stewart wasn't convicted of fraud, insider trading, or anything blatantly illegal. She was convicted of lying to a federal investigator (during the investigating of a "crime" for which she was never charged). Just like Libbey, who was convicted of lying (or perhaps misremembering) during the investigation of another non-crime.
Think that over for a minute. It smells an awful lot like entrapment, doesn't it?

Amazon could use Hillary Clinton's vagina as an excuse to raise the price of everything 7%. What's your point?

that was carrot top, you homo.

anybody got pix of her? If she's not old or fat or ugly, I'll donate a 3-roper.

fraud. conspiracy to commit fraud. Various (state and federal) truth-in-advertising statutes.
One word: rotor.
the "loophole" is that Apple/Bose/etc will stop supplying retailers that don't follow MRP guidelines.
MS can sell the XBOX 360 at a loss and make it up via licensing from games.
Apple, meanwhile, has some of the biggest profit margins in the industry.
I've been known to put my /penis into vagina.
seems like pure garbage to me. Unless the owners of sex.com, business.com, or slashdot.org are willing to sell for $16,000.

why do you have pictures of my significant other in various states of undress?
On-duty police officers are statutorily exempt from many laws.
One reason that publishers don't complain is that it helps limit competition.
There's a story. Maybe you've heard it. It's about a goose that lays golden eggs.
If patents were abolished, current drug prices might drop 80%. But at the cost of future drug development.
A lot of people complain about high drug prices. I wonder if they would complain as loudly if the drug didn't even exist.

I think it's pretty clear that Free Software has achieved more in less time than proprietary software.
If free software has achieved more, it is by copying the work of proprietary software.
The wisdom of crowds beats the wisdom of zonk.

How would you feel if you dropped $40 to find out that you owed $100?
A "rail ride"? isn't that where some bloke buggers you up the arse while you're in the loo trying to spend a penny? Thanks, but no.
