Too bad that Lorenzo Music (Carleton, your doorman) just passed away and isn't available. He always sounded as though he'd taken a few hits.
Probably better known to the younger of you as the voice for the cartoon character "Garfield" (the cat), a casting decision I wish they hadn't made, 'cause it ruined my memories of Carleton, and wasn't a voice with which I would have associated with Garfield before they animated him.
The verses you quote refer to "swearing" of the kind one does when taking or giving an oath, like "I swear that the testimony I am about to give will be the truth....", or "I swear to protect and defend...", not to the kind of vulgar language that 2 or 3 generations ago was referred to as "swearing" or "cursing" and is nowadays known as the way most people talk, and the way that ACs with nothing worthwhile to say chose to say it.
If you encrypt stuff with CSS without having paid that humongous license fee, then you are probably in violation of the law (a law, some law) without regard to whether you decrypt it or not.
Allow me to quote from a post a little further up the page.

Anyone know if they're gonna release the series on DVD? That's one boxed set I'm gonna buy no matter how much I hate MPAA and WarnerBros/TNT.
When "additional digital encrypted inputs to the ears and eyes" are possible, there will be no need for laws making them mandatory. The content providers will release only for those inputs and the sheep will rush to the surgeons.
Actually they could publish the schematics and a bunch of other technical info which they have to create anyway, and nowadays no doubt are doing on computers instead of drawing boards, and put it all on a CD and include one with each unit, and I for one would be glad to pay an extra buck or two for it.
If you're going to post a story about how "...today is the twentieth aniversary of the IBM PC...", you might want to give a little thought to which day you actually post the story.
The PC timeline in Saturday's News and Observer may have goofed in saying that it was introduced on August 13th, or maybe they finished work on it on the 12th and intro-ed it the next day, but anyway they did have a pretty good interview with David Bradley, one of the original group of engineers who developed the 5150, and the one who chose which 3 keys would be used to reboot. The interview is online here, and includes an anecdote about the delivery of a prototype to MS.
Actually deltree/y c: "accidentally hit the enter key instead of the \ which was to be followed by the single directory you wanted to delete" works quite well at wiping the entire C drive. It proceeds to do so undisturbed by any keystroke combinations intended to stop it.
If the "Vandellas" find out you called them "Vandettas" (sounds like a Volkswagen), you're liable to find yourself with "Nowhere to Run", and worried about something worse than the current "Heatwave", perhaps finding yourself sinking in "Quicksand".

Now you see who they've been aiming their software at for so long.
It becomes a Wile E. Coyote-seeking missle.
What he said was "This....is CNN". So did Charleton Heston.
Boy is he sneaky.
So who do we cast as the voice of Tux?

Actually, that's what a lot of people were hoping that the judge was going to tell Billy the G.
You have got to be kidding.
I thought with MS it was more a case of talking out of, or what could be pulled out of, it.
Unless of course by being in the Alps you're already high enough up not to have to worry about achieving orbital velocity.

Please, please, please let me get this one in meta-mod.
They don't want to ban it, they just want to own and control it.

Capacitors have been around a long time, but capacitors made from tantulum instead of some other material are somewhat more recent.
But think of the great uptime stat you've got going!
For which command is /autotest an undocumented switch?

Information wants to be free, hardware wants to be immolated?
Oh well, at least I get to use the word "anthropomorphism" in a post.
