You're forgetting how much of this evaporates. A lot more water is going to evaporate from a reservoir in Sydney, where it gets hot, than will evaporate from a reservoir in London. That's why Sydney spends much of its summer with water restrictions, while London doesn't.
The problem is that music is copyrighted and licensed individually on a state-per-state basis. Under current European law, Apple is not allowed to distribute music under its UK license in non-UK countries. There may be some contradiction in European law here...
Had he started with a blank hard drive, he'd have been ripping off the work of the computer manufacturers. No, for him to have written it from scratch, he'd have had to mine the metal he needed, pick up a few sticks with which to make a fire and weld it all together.
And even then he'd have to give credit to Ugh the Caveman.
Not a mindless happy ending? At the ending, you have a happy little girl that creates a sunrise and a grandmother figure tells her they will see the dead hero again.
I was insulted by the obviousness of the "imagery" first of all,a nd the only thing to make it more bubble-gum sickly sweet would be if you saw Neo and Trinity rise from the dead. Well, if Trinity was pregnant and Neo was holding her it might be a bit worse, but this is Matrix 3, not Minority Report, after all.
However, the thing that really bugged me was how little story there was relative to the amount of fighting, the fact that a lot of the story was mindless subplots (Why on earth did there need to be a gateway between the real world and the machine world? Because the Wachowski brothers could?), and the fact that what little was left to the story was the sum of just about every Hollywood cliche known to man (the 16-year old saving the day, a wife saving the day for love of her husband, Trinity's slow-motion run towards Neo at the train station...). None of the characters were developed in any way during the entire movie. Name one character that showed any range of emotion, or any evolution (with the exception of Neo, of course, who showed both determination and grief).
Moreover, there were terrible plot inconsistencies. For example, if the new, improved and viral Agent Smith can fly, why didn't he follow Neo at the end of the Burly Brawl in Reloaded, rather than stare up stupidly?
Finally, most of the imagery was very confused, to say the least. For example, Neo being blinded had to be a reference to Oedipus in some way (him walking around the world blindfolded, his hand held by Antigone/Trinity), but it was completely out of context and added no depth to the story.
Very, very, very bad movie. All MHO, of course, but I stand by what I say.
Up-front? If he was interested in being up-front, why didn't he contact the NYT sysadmin beforehand? I see no reason why informing someone before you "test" their systems would be a problem.
I think the general (male) audience would have enjoyed that last part.;-) It all depends on how much of the 3 hour sequence is dedicated to the naked dancing.
The Daily Mirror is one of what the British call "red tops." Let's say it's the British left's answer to the New York Post. I'll go with Time on this one.
Moreover, it would be a huge security exploit waiting to happen. If there's a backdoor already built in, how long will it take for some enterprising virus coder to write software that pretends to be RIAA CompuKiller(TM), but is actually CIH 2 (RIAA Edition)?
I recognize and respect your point of view, but if you try to know your child's life in every detail until he's 18, you're looking for trouble. Though this system is most probably helpful to parents of younger children, it can only be disastrous in regard to adolescents.
At 16, do you truly feel you would have been better off if your parents had gotten a daily breakdown of everything that was going on in your life? I think a teenager's natural instinct in that situation would be to rebel. It is only natural that a human with a minimum of maturity (where the minimum is that reached at adolescence) require a minimum of privacy.
The only sentiment this sort of invasion is going to promote in resentment. If you don't trust your teenager's account of what he's doing at school, you need to check on your relationship with him. If he's underperforming or being complacent you need to discuss the importance of education. Whether he's failed to do this or that assignment is unimportant. Whether he sees the value of the work he does is crucial. The fact of the matter is that, though we learn from our parents' teachings, sooner or later everything we learn from them is questioned. Better for that questioning to happen whilst the child is still at home, where he can be counseled and any negative impact of his trial-and-error process can be minimised.
The fact of the matter is that, though we still have to live with the consequences of our actions, childhood is, par excellence, the time to do it, because, eventually, we will push the limits, and make mistakes.
The other major bug I notice is that when I type in nicknames in the To and CC fields - 50% of the time, they get translated into the right email addresses, but other times they don't. My other major gripe about mozilla mail is the lack of an option to send just plain old plain text messages again. I don't want the headers of replies and forwards being turned into little graphics. I don't want symbols like;) being turned into little smiley faces. I want to type in courier just like I can in Pine, or netscape messenger. I think more options with mozilla mail would make a lot of people happy...

Plain text e-mails are definitely available. When you send an e-mail, you are prompted to send it in Plain Text/HTML/Both. I also believe you can set this in the Preferences.
The transit authorities don't stop accepting the cash. Remember, visitors need to be allowed to use public transportation, even if they haven't signed up.
In Hong Kong, most people have "Octopus" cards, but payment by cash is still possible. However, cash is as risky, more time-consuming and far heavier.
Moreover, banks have every reason to want these types of system to work, as the costs of guarding and moving large sums of cash are huge.
This system works for business and for consumers. I don't see why it wouldn't work. And as it's opt-in (and not enforced, controlled or monitored by government, like the retina-scanning in Minority Report), there's no reason for that to be a bad thing.
IIRC, StarOffice has always belonged to Sun, and Sun sued Microsoft a while back claiming that Microsoft had ripped them off...
OpenOffice.org was based on parts of StarOffice, but now StarOffice is based on OpenOffice.org (same thing as what happened to Mozilla really, except that they released the full source of Netscape).
Finally, there is no Netscape company. Netscape belongs to AOL Time Warner. It's one of the reasons why the next AOL software will be based on Gecko: AOL already employ most of the Gecko coders.
IMO, it's a lot more fun and satisfying to do the maths mentally than with a calculator. But I think it's a matter of what you want to get out of it: for those who don't plan on going farther than SAT-level maths, there's no point to not using a calculator. However, if you want to do maths seriously, it's a dangerous crutch to have...
Columbia belongs to Sony. So, in effect, only Sony is guilty in this particular instance, although Vivendi Universal and Bertelsmann are both deep in DRM.

Actually, the legal term would be "trust," as in "anti-trust legislation."

That'd never happen. The answers would be:
The Internet: 29%
Google: 21%
MSN: 18%
Yahoo!: 12%
Internet Explorer: 10%
Mozilla/Firefox: 8%
Other: 2%
