Well, if you buy it online at iTunes or wherever, can't you legally download it from Kazaa Lite/DC++/IRC/Shareaza at a higher quality under fair use? You've already paid royalty fees and such, so....
I'm glad that this law requires unsolicited email senders (aka spammers) to send their physical postal address location along with the spam. I imagine that soon, message boards will be popping up with lists of all known spammers...
Of course, being the noble/.ers we are, we would never sign anyone up for any magazines or stuff that they didn't want... even if they were spammers.
This is similar to a system I use at my laboratory called MACS (http://www.miltenyibiotec.com/index.php?site=home). It uses magnetic beads conjugated to antibodies to select and filter out cells. Judging by how expensive MACS is compared to complement depletion, though, this could be very expensive because of the amount of cells and toxins and blood.
How about temporary and efferent data, like SSH keys and data passed through X11, used for short point-to-point transfers? It might be just me, but if this doesn't take into account that data, the total could be much higher...

AMEN!!
Was he saying 'Amen' to the answer from the other person,
That would be hard for me to explain because I don't know anyone serious who doubts that under current law, individuals engage in copyright infringement when they make large quantities of copyrighted material available for others to copy without the permission of the copyright owner. But I also don't think that's the issue with P2P technologies.
P2P technologies can be used for totally legal purposes, even if they are also used for illegal purposes. Indeed, as they develop, the vast majority of uses of P2P technology will be legal. As the Supreme Court has rightly held, a technology is not illegal if it is capable of "substantial noninfringing uses." Every P2P technology that I have seen satisfies this test.
Or the question,
To Mr. Lessig: please explain how anyone can claim that distributing copies of copyrighted music to a total stranger without authorization of the artist or song owner is not copyright infringement? No one thinks that making a large number of Xerox copies of a book and handing them out on the street is legal, so why is P2P [peer-to-peer] different?
what if you restrict the pings to the phoenix servers? i'm sure people will put up the IPs eventully.
and what if i completely disconnect it from the internet?
Anyone with cats knows the feeling. Can you suggest a reasonably priced answer to dust-borne failure?
Scissors only cost a buck at Wal-Mart... Or you could go the more expensive electric haircutter route for about $15. Or, you could actually save money by getting rid of the cats.

OK, although many/.ers are out of jobs, THIS IS NOT A CRASH. It's a recession. Even Alan Greenspan, the 20th time winner of the Most Boring Person Award, says so. Also, although i hate to add a political twist to it, it's not the Republicans' fault: it started when Clinton was in office and exhibited itself fully when Bush took over. September 11th just 'broke the camel's back' so to speak. If you want a system administrator job, look into the medical field. At least, if you're a surgeon, you won't have to worry about people installing new versions of their innards.
KDE won't know about a Linux box unless they actually query the server, which they won't do. VNC, on the other hand, can be blocked by the state-they block everything in and out except for about two ports. (slight exaggeration, but accurate.) Even if I did route VNC through another port, they would still be able to pick up the packets.
The server is ideally a Linux box, but it can be shifted to Windows if need be. X11 and Remote Desktop's massive bandwidth requirements make it impossible unless VNC or another carrier were used, and be aware that not every high school student knows how to boot Linux and actually use it, so it will have to be easily script-able.
The Tarantella link seemed promising, I'll check that out. Thanks for your flames and other replies.
According to this site I googled up, "between 8 and 15 percent of the Net's surfers visit adult sites each week." I have no idea what overall internet usage statistics are, so I think I'll let someone else analyze these numbers further.

if we're going to be hit by a massive asteroid approximately every 600,000 years, doesn't that kind of make the probability 100%?

It's still funny though.
It was going to be called DNSSEX, until the developers realized it might be mistaken for something else.
So, did he kiss the camera or the television screen when the pastor said "the groom may now kiss the bride"?

You want minimalist? Go for TWM. It takes all of 5 seconds to load, even on a old Pentium 120.

Slightly non-war-related, but has anyone ever noticed the similarities in the names?
