To use their content and not pay for it is in no way piracy. Please stop corrupting the language.

I agree with your reminder concerning reviews. I think they are handy, but they're hardly a definitive predictor of my enjoyment.
If you want an expectation of privacy in your e-mail, you need to insure that your ISP literally cannot access it's contents. A promise from them that they won't isn't sufficient if they can.
You need to look up the word 'expectation'. Yes, the courts are concerned with capability, not ordinary course. That's part of the problem, and makes me very glad I'm not in the USA.
You seem to share this misunderstanding with the judge.* Yes, I have 'access' to some email accounts, but if I looked at them without a warrant (or customer permission) and didn't get fired right away, I'd be fired at the same time as my boss was (for not firing me). I can't even grep ^Date: without the customer's permission, and even then I still feel dirty.

* Also, sysadmins have root access, it's like saying gardeners have shears. There are no 'others' on staff with root access, though some might have a sudo entry or two. .
Note: I'm not a lawyer in the USA, so my opinion probably doesn't count for more than yours on this, despite any delusions of grandeur I might have.
If you'd actually read the first one, you'd know that 'we' have already figured it out (and it lists several tools to do so), and that Thunderbird assumes that it's YOUR job to convert from some arbitrary proprietary file format.
I mean, seriously, why should TB re-invent the wheel? If theres' one thing i learned from my first library algorithms class, is that if you re-invent the wheel, you're going to take longer and end up with something that isn't likely to be round. The NIH syndrome is very wasteful of human resources.
This is in NYS, which has NYC and Rochester, plus Toronto not far away. I can only imagine what it's like in Washington.
Toronto? TORONTO?
Different nation, different legal system, different society. Do you see us Canucks trying to relate Buffalo to Hamilton?
Sheesh, I hate to generalize (and this isn't meant to pick on you in particular), but this may be why Americans have such crappy foreign affairs - they don't even know what's foreign.
Does BSD support "Q" yet? Linux stole the "P" code ages ago and implemented "Q" but released it under a restrictive license that prevents the original authors from using the new features. Come on, get with it BSD!
I'm sorry you don't like the fact that Mythbusters isn't science.
I'm surprised at your broken assumption about what I like or don't like. It outstrips your flawed analogy.
Mythbusters is science. Not particularly rigorous, but science nonetheless. Learning science from Mythbusters is more like learning about cooked food from said McDonalds staffer.
Don't get me started on small data sets. Edwin Hubble's correlation of radial velocity and distance (Big Bang, to most people) was based on less than 50 data points. Crap, I got started on small data sets. Stop now, http, before
You're the sort of person that can't tell the difference between Myth Buster's and good science television.
You just lost the potential to be seen as having higher credibility for this thread: xkcd says it better.
Apple does not attempt to limit resale, and does not attempt to prevent copying (beyond trusting that people who purchase their software won't copy it because there are already laws on the books).
Trolling fanboys? That's a new one on me. I was just providing an obvious counterexample off the top of my head to blow that false dichotomy out of the water.
Then you don't go building a uranium processing plant into a mountain.
There are only two reasons you want to build a uranium processing plant in a mountain:
A. It's bomb proof, in which case why are you worried about it getting bombed if it's purely for peaceful processes?
B. You're Dr. Evil.
I think we can safely say it's likely A, although I wouldn't rule out B with Ahmadinejad.
They're worried about it being bombed because the civilian fuel processing plant is targeted. The Israeli government has made extremely thinly veiled threats to bomb it and the IDF has carried out exercises consistent with practice runs of bombing it. Any prudent bureaucrat would, if the funds were available, have a backup production facility made.
The advisory mentions that the problem is related to TCP's receive window size. How is a firewall supposed to say, "Hey! I don't think your RWS is reasonable, no biscuit for you" ? As near as I can tell, this precludes XP from running ANY available service. Or, I could just have the stupid this morning, like many other mornings before coffee.
When you look at the ideals of a few world religions (christianity, islam, judaism, buddhism, hinduism...), you'll notice that they all somehow focus on an attempt to get society to work well together. They all follow a more or less common moral standard: Don't steal. Don't kill. Don't lie. Try to live a "good" life and do "good" things. They promise rewards in the afterlife for this, which might be a bit too mystical for the secular mind of this time, but in general the intention behind it isn't so bad.
If you don't care, you should -- unless you have nothing to hide.
Shiva H. Vishnu, when will people learn? You shoule care, period. If you've got nothing to hide, I do not want the police putting any time or money into investigating you. It costs me in emergency response availability, higher taxes, and highly irritated fellow citizens.
Poorly thought out legislation is not much different from badly intended legislation. Call van Loan, and your MP. This bill can die, if your MPs are well informed.

Pardon my ignorance, but how exactly is Cenzic tied financially to Microsoft again? Google's got nothing (and bing has less).

Try telling that to Apple.

Do you think the steel and aluminum in the hard drive won't take part in the reaction? If so, why?
Here in Canada, we value strippers more.
Congratulations. You've just reinvented a middleman.
