If they were particularly interested the should concentrate of the individual computers that are soaking up the bandwidth and deal with individuals first. The other thing that they may or may not be able to do is bandwidth throttling, limiting the amount of bandwidth each PC gets, you can provide decent access to most users but anyone with a high bandwidth application would just be SOL. There is no perfect solution just a solution that will hurt some more than others.
Put all the legal teams in a cage and give them knifes.
Hmm, I like your ideas on justice, they remind me of a King Solomon, or Ghengis Khan. You sir, are brilliant, now what would it take to vote this new system of justice into place?
It depends, If it is being used to indentify a product or a company then it can be trademarked. But that does not protect it from from being used in other ways. For example, Disney has several newly submitted trademarks HERE, and they mostly pertain to products, however that may prevent someone from making a Mickey Mouse line of clothes, that does not prevent someone from making a Mickey Mouse cartoon. Trademarks are unique identifiers for a line of products and/or services, but that does not keep people from working with it in some other line, whether they like or not.
At one desk, users can move a wireless mouse's pointer from the screen of one computer to the screen of a laptop, with no wire or wireless connection between the computers themselves. That allows copying or moving material between the computers, a task that would otherwise be more difficult.
Great, now bugs in the software will now be blamed on co-workers who happened to have their mouse pointed in the wrong direction and keep clicking the "Delete All Files" option. Worse, I get co-workers who "Delete All Files" and then blame it on the software. Who said easy of use was an improvement.
Hey, look at the bright side, with all the Star-Wars Like effects, they will not be able to tell if you are doing work or playing the next Lucas Arts game!
How CAN godless people have morals? I mean come on, who is going to kick their ass for all eternity if not their god? I mean if you fall off your moral high chair who is going to make sure you get back, or should have never gotten off in the first place! God that's who!
I went to the Internet Cafes in Shanghai all have the same base install. They are all hand built computers but they all come with an HP version of Windows 98 on them and you know they are not HP computers.
This example just points out how much purchasing managers don't understand what they are buying. It fairly common and show how people who look at price tag as a way of determining value are too stupid or too lazy actually do the work necessary to figure this stuff out.
Some people may not consider it a program, but every job that I have had I have been able to use Perl and it always has been useful. It is open source, documentation is readily available, and I don't have to tie myself to its only real alternative on the windows platform, VB Script.

There is fair-use but there is also a difference between a business and a person. A person has lots of legal rights that a corporation does not. Can a business take a can of Dole peaches, rip the label off and say they are (K) Brand peaches? No. That would be mis-representation. To say that it is a matter of fair-use is ignoring the fact that as a business they have certains but also certain responbilities when they do business. I think that CleanFlicks is going to far with editing versions of movies without permission. a person has a right to modify products that they buy but a business does not. It can a slippery slope where they can misrepresent a product or good.

How much fun is it to sit in your Heroes Hall when you could be out throwing cars around and knocking the top of mountains off.
This does not sound like a bunch super heroes, it actually sounds like the Gods of Olympus. Maybe they should just skip the BS of pretending we are mortals, because PC's just don't die(unless you play hardcore Diablo II), they are all immortal. So just make a god game where you cause mischief(like Loki), escort people to the realm on the dead(like Hades), or score with all the mortal women(like Zeus). It would fit with people personalities in these types of games anyways because there are just going to be some poeple out to create trouble which is usually the background for most ancient stories anyways.
Do you know why most people don't get unsolicited faxes? It is against the law. Originially faxes had alot of the same problems that email with SPAM had, people were getting swamped with unsolicited advertisements. So they made a law called the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and here is a link with a little blurb from the FTC that says, if you are having problems go to small claims court and earn a little cash.
If you are getting a large number of unsolicited faxes, earn a little income, go to court!
It would be like "The Tick" in Capital City. There are no villians, because there too many superhero's. Everyone will just hangout at disco clubs, arguing over who is the real "Spider Man" or who the real "Hulk" is. Every once in a while two super hero's with the same name will break out in a fight with the winner being the true *superhero name here*.
So in other words, the US government is the last group I'd trust to do a study like that. Last time they tried to prove a link between cholesterol and heart disease, they pushed a bunch of carbs on us and may very well be responsible for early onset diabetes and the american obesity epidemic.
I agree with alot of your statements but I think you went over board here. Despite the governments attempts to determine what is a good or bad diets, people rarely followed their guidelines. The things that make Americans fat, is the access to cheap, high calorie, high quantity food.
Take a look at a soda, 8 fluid oz. is 100~ calories, some people will not drink anything but soda, so they drink 4 or 5 cans a day. Those cans are 12 fluid oz. with means that they are consuming 600 calories a day from basically sugar water. Through in a cheap vending machine snack, 1 oz, that is another 100 calories, so you get the munches you eat 2 bags of chips you are not at 800 calories without even eating a breakfast, lunch or diner!
You want to take a look at access to fast food, that is another big calorie boost. My reference is Here
Big Mac, 570 calories
French Fries, 540 calories
So you go to McDonalds, for lunch because it quick, and now with your soda you have consumed 1900 calories, without even eating diner. A rough estimate of how many calories you need each day is weight x10, x15, or x20 depending on how active you are. So lets say you start out as a moderate size guy of 180 lbs who gets no real excercise. you have already consumed more calories than you are going to use, you have little to nutrition in your diet and you probably will eat at least one if not two more meals that day.
Now that you know this, now ask yourself why is that Americans are fat. It is not simply because we are eating "A lot of Fats" or "A lot of Carbs", it is because we are just straight up eating like a pig at a trough.

If it would keep Sonny and Cher's music from being played again, I would be for unlimited copyrights too.

Don't forget,
- A gut think enough to ignore bullets
- Crash networks that run locomotives, and
- the ability to drink a 12 oz soda in a single gulp!
