Before you spout off about guns being bad, take note that the crime rate in states without concealed carry permits have much much more crime per capita.
Fun stat until you realize that's because the major urban centers are in those states.
Congrats... Your friends are helping to raise the barrier to entry for smaller office suites.
One would think the opposite is true.
Given the fact that the vast majority of users still buy their software, Office going up in price due to piracy would be a good thing for cheaper alternatives.
Unfortunately for them, this time the fanbase isn't big enough to sustain a series, even on the low ratings friendly UPN. The article also states how they hope to be picked up by the Sci Fi channel, which requires even lower ratings of its fare.
Actually, BSG beat Enterprise in the ratings pretty consistently. Not bad for a premium cable channel.
That'd be all well and good if people weren't potentially settling despite being innocent. As RIAA has sued dead grandmothers who never had computers, there are probably at least a couple people who settled instead of going through a long and expensive legal process.
I'd say the EFF didn't expect our elected representatives to make punishment for file sharing harsher than many rape, fraud, manslaughter etc. sentences.
No, when they wrote Amendment I, it was to ensure freedom of political speech, not the ability to rat on a company's products.
Actually, there's a lot more to it than that.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Nowhere does it say "speech" is limited to political speech, and freedom of press may well apply here.
Google also employs several ex-NSA guys with security clearances.
Holy shit, you mean the world's premier data mining and organizing company does some work for the government requiring security clearances?! Stop the presses! Next you'll say Xerox and IBM employ people with clearances, too!
Did you know Google sets an IP-tracking cookie that doesn't expire for 30 years?
Yeah, 'cause people aren't gonna upgrade their computers in that time. Anyways, it's not like any company can't just track you using the server logs, no cookies required.
Yeah - the Lost pilot cost $10 million for two hours, and that was the most expensive pilot in TV history. It had blowing up aircraft engine and such, too.
I've heard $60-$80 million for an entire SEASON of Enterprise, which gives us $4 million an ep or so.

As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe.
And they'll be taking their gloves off post-examination and heading to the computer tablet to enter data on the chart, just like they do now with pen and paper.

Hell, the Enterprise fans supposedly raised over three million bucks... for a TV show.

No one sells 'em anymore, at least not in the quantities Wells-Fargo needs.
The RIAA can't know who they are suing before they get started, now can they?
One does wonder how they get the names and addresses of people who've never owned a computer, though.
Yeah, dumb idea for the buyers, but great idea for NewDotNet to make some easy cash.

NewDotNet enabled non-ICANN domain names like .xxx, .family, etc.

You can take your tinfoil hat off, now.
Doubtful; last time I looked, there were plenty of other places they could save on bandwidth easily and they don't bother.
Where on http://www.google.com/ can they cut more code?
I'd say the EFF didn't expect our elected representatives to make punishment for file sharing harsher than many rape, fraud, manslaughter etc. sentences.
Google Weather doesn't give it with decimals, though. I believe that was his point.
On the other hand, a change of a single degree (in either C or F) means nothing to the vast majority of people.
Google has never shown much interest in validating code.
Even the Firefox Start page they host doesn't validate.
They probably save untold gigabytes just by not putting a doctype, type attributes, alt tags, etc.
Are IBM and Xerox tracking people's IPs, search information, and email
They don't have a way to get those, so no. They're getting a hell of a lot of info that Google doesn't have access to, though.
You can bet Yahoo! and MSN do, though.
Google employs ex-government workers with security clearances for the same reason defense contractors do - so they can get in on government contracts.

Huh, wonder why Debian is the largest linux distro project, then...
;-)
Because, unable to afford a Mac, they bought a PC, which gives them the choice between the crappy OSS and the even crappier Windows.
When you can't tell the difference, does it matter anymore?

Star Trek Voyager got, what, eight seasons out of "we're flying to Earth!" - and they started out as a vastly inferior show when compared to BSG.
I think last week's episode which has Starbuck patching a Cylon ship with her jacket
I think it's actually called a space suit, not a jacket, and thus pretty good patch material.
That's not true.
