If would be if the the signal from remote to the tv was encrypted. As it is currently tv companies don't encrypt thier signals.
And when this case is wrong by the company bringing the case, I don't think many tv manufacters will bother to do so since the market for additional remotes is not big enough to hassel the customer about.
My parents use to own a francize donut store where they would theses seasonal items, the 'Buy two dozen donuts get this item for $xxx more.' Our cost on the item was at or slightly below the $xxx more, but you were using this to draw in new people and get people to purchase more and it was actually more profitable because the person could not then use a coupon, and it would work. You could see a marked improvment in sales most of the time with theses items, and then after that promotion was done sales would start slumping off.
You would also get people who would come in just to item and min required(not what you wanted), but it was profitable for us so we kept doing it.
Well first shadowbane has to be released.
Besides if I was looking for something like shadowbane I would go with dragon empires, it has better graphics, some neater features, and with it coming out in fall 2003 will probably beat SB to a release date.
Switched to TaxCut a few years ago when intuit started cutting features in thier product. Taxcut is a whole lot nicer product and you don't have to mess with intuit and thier various schemes.

Marks & Spencer is kind of different. With most trademarked names where the owner was sitting on it or using it to run a site similar to what the trademarked name would run, presume Marks & Spencer is trademarked, they have been awarding the domain name to the trademark owner. Sex is probably mot a trademarked name.
Otherwise it has been rather interesting cases, for thoses look at cases with ajax.com/ajax.org(cleaning chemical) veronica.com/veronica.org(archie comics character) where thoses were the names of the owners and they wanted to put up thier own site not related to the product. In thoses kind of cases the original owner has won or come to some sort of agreement.
Your phone number idea is probably the closest to this or maybe license plates, the only case I can recall is the suit Unix System LAbs had with berkly software where berkley software had a number like its-unix, and that they just changed thier number when sued. I would think thier have been similar law suits with phone number.
If I see an antique on eBay selling for $5 that I know to be incredibly valuable, I should buy it -- I'm under no imaginable obligation to contact the seller and let him know he's an idiot.
Different case here. This is more a case of you being a an antique appraiser and are hired to appaiser someones possesions, you then under value everything and when they offer to sell you or a friend purchase all they are selling.
Also in the ebay case you a have a pure buyer/seller relationship and you are perfectly in your rights to do whatever you can to get the best deal.
They are geneticly identical so they are clones.
The problem is that it also seems to bring the age of the animal(maybe human) over. It would be interesting to know if the cloned sheep also has arthritis and when it developed it to the exent,if it has, that Dolly has.
That is the main place I am starting to see Linux in my workplace.
Systems that were previously running Solaris were going to be converted to mswindows,development had even started to take place to convert them. However with Linux now seeing growth; windows is being dropped as servers and Linux is taking its place. While this has caused problems with delay it is all for the better.
From the national kids safty campaign and the National safty council
1998 -- 500 kids under the age of 5 drowned
1997 -- almost 1000 under age 14 drowned, around 1/2 of thoses were under the age of 4
1997 -- 240 due to firearms
By the way the NSC 1997 places drowning at 14% of child deaths and guns at 3.6%
This is deliberate and not likly to change.
The less technical a site is the less likly they will have something like this, the reason is that people will click on that and use that to complain about anything. The web people don't want to get customer support problems.
The problem is that searching for messages such as "Attack this Thusday at Place X--Bring Explosives" is likly to be just people playing on-line games.
At a minimum you are going to get alot of messages about killing another person, or one group planning to attack the home/base of another group.
So a TV channel looking for rating has decided they will create thier own awards show.
You already have some of this with channels dedicated to a specific topic, but do we really want this with a general anything goes network?

The passport stuff is even worst then that.
Microsoft recently released a new game Asheron's Call 2. The only code developed by microsoft in what is otherwise a very excellent game, is the passport billing and authentication system. That is major problem with the game and is causing alot of problems.
First it is limited to worked with credit card companies from only 8 countries. This may of been planned from the DRM side.
Second it has problems with being up, so once you are in the game it is ok, but sometimes you have problems getting authenticated by passport and the microsoft servers. Sometimes it is because the servers are down, othertimes it seems to not find peoples authentication for the first attempt.
Third say you cancel in the middle of a pay period, from that point on the passport system drops your authorization. So no playing until your payment period runs out. On the bright side of this they do warn you about this.
They got a bunch of the big names back then when it looked like Borland was out of the development business. Some of the top C# creators came from Borland.
The off-white from pearls is just training and being around the items for so long you get to know the different hues.
It is no different then jewelry and gemist of other races being about to grade stones just but looking at them with the naked eye.
I figure they can do a good job.
The new outer limits did a version of "I, Robot" which was a decent job of it. It was mainly a court room based version.
The main problem I see is that they are going to have to increase the length to around 2 hours, and add an action sequence(s) which it really does not need.
So if it comes out near Christmas I may be good, it coes out as a summer blockbuster movie then expect the same thing that happen to Starship Troopers compared to the book.
You mis-read it, the $500 goes to the lawyers and you get the $5.00.
To get your $5.00 send, via certified mail, in your name, address and a check for $4.98 to cover shipping and handleing fees to the address given on thier web site.
They have a great museum of old manufactoring and household items.
It was a former soda water(fizzy lemonade)and they still can demonstrate how they manually had to fill the glass bottles. however it has since been filled with other machiary and items from the early age of industry.
Also the town of York England has a great household/life museum containing manufactoring and industrial items including an old water driven mill. One neat thing thier is they have a set of rooms setup as kitchens from each decade from 1920 to 1980 showing what was common during each of thoses decades and how kitchens have changed.
Then you cannot forget the grand daddy of the all, IronBridge the start of the industrial revolution. You can walk accross the bridge and then they have a museum of the original forge and a modern museum about that time period and also modern iron working.
It is the museum of the history of science, just got back from thier this week.
The only english handout they have is a book which gives a general description of what is contained in the room and points out one or two items.
For a good description take of copy of Rick Steeves' book on Florence it has multi-page description of the museum pointing out major items and giving a better overview of the importance of the items then the book the museum has.
Both Florence and Venice are get to visit this time of the year, no lines to get into site, nice weather, cheaper prices.

I liked the chaos global that gave a random affect to all new creatures. I had fleets of flying halking slingers attacking everything.

This is about right, go to www.infoworld.com and they ran a bunch of stories similar to yours and worse.

Actually it should be "send him up the river".
The origins of it coming from Sing-Sing prison which is up river from NYC.
They are geneticly identical so they are clones.
The problem is that it also seems to bring the age of the animal(maybe human) over. It would be interesting to know if the cloned sheep also has arthritis and when it developed it to the exent,if it has, that Dolly has.
What really comes to mind is that old video short "Design for Dreaming" complete with the "Kitchen of Tomorrow".

Skip all of thoses I just want 1 thing.
To decide who lives and who dies.
Before you say it is bullshit you may want to look up the facts.
Start with Willie Jones - 1991, then Volusia County Sheriff Bob Vogel.
They got a bunch of the big names back then when it looked like Borland was out of the development business. Some of the top C# creators came from Borland.
The off-white from pearls is just training and being around the items for so long you get to know the different hues.
