Actually, it does. Certain manufacturers are sueing people under the DMCA for refilling ink cartridges. The cartridges contain a chip saying whether they're empty, so cracking this chip is arguably circumvention...
Cracking the chip is just reverse engineering for interoperability with the new ink an thus should be free from the reach of the DMCA.:)

The RIAA is the Recording Industry Association of America. It is not the Recording Industry and Artists Association of America. It says its concern is artists. That's true, in just the sense that a cattle rancher is concerned about its cattle.

My gripe is that the cut behaviour has changed in windows, SHIFT+DELETE is no longer works as cut, but the CRTL+INSERT (copy) and the SHIFT+INSERT (paste) still work ?
An evil king has 1000 bottles of wine. A neighboring queen plots to kill the bad king, and sends a servant to poison the wine. The king's guards catch the servant after he has only poisoned one bottle. The guards don't know which bottle was poisoned, but they do know that the poison is so potent that even if it was diluted 1,000,000 times, it would still be fatal. Furthermore, the effects of the poison take one month to surface. The king decides he will get some of his prisoners in his vast dungeons to drink the wine. Rather than using 1000 prisoners each assigned to a particular bottle, this king knows that he needs to murder no more than 10 prisoners to figure out what bottle is poisoned, and will still be able to drink the rest of the wine in 5 weeks time. How does he pull this off?

That is assuming you still have your CD Key ...
Mine _was_ stuck to the back of my cd case not inside the
case where it wouldn't come off and disappear at the first
chance it got.
Does the new change mean I can't just search for a serial
number/keygen online like a used to do whenever the urge
to install to play HL again stuck?
Since I don't have the original off-the-shelf box what
else would constitute Proof of Purchase so I could get
a legit WonID to upgrade ?
Presumably because the model is static it is a
snapshot of the planets orbits at particular
date (with a repeating interval).
Has someone predicted when the planets will be
next be the same as the model?
I think the real question is does she have a

website and/or blog discussing why she quit.

How can a deterministic computer create anything
more then pseudorandom ?

SOLUTION: (Think binary)
10 prisoners 2 outcomes
0 = alive (not poisoned)
1 = dead (poisoned)
1000 bottles 10 prisoners 2^10 = 1024
each bottle is assigned a number 1..1000 this is convereted to binary.
this binary determine which prisoner (1..10) drinks it
eg:
bottle num: 1 = 0000000001 is tested by prisoner #: 1
bottle num: 2 = 0000000010 is tested by prisoner #: 2
bottle num: 3 = 0000000011 is tested by prisoner #: 2, 1
.
The number made by the 1s (dead) and 0s (living) is the binary number of the posioned bottle.
