I'll support this technology on one (1) condition:
My unit has to automatically shorten a certain ~15 minute long scene in a certain (Matrix Reloaded) movie down to a ~2 minute piece of the film. What were they thinking? Just a cheap way to show boobs is all it was...
While not quite a true prescident (IANAL), having the biggest corp. in the world (Larger than all but 7 (I believe) nations) involved has a good chance of getting the ball rolling on anti-spam legislation.
In response to the large numbers of complaints that the book focuses too narrowly on Micro$oft Products, I propose the following changes to make it more universal.
Please remove pages 1 - 1040 and replace with the following sheet of paper:

1.) Educate your users.
Perhaps out of this, more people can become aware of the possible Very Bad Things (tm) that can come out of the DMCA.
Incidentally, any product that can be used to create, maintain, objectify, alter, transmit, or destroy Very Bad Things (tm) is a violation of the DMCA and will cause litigation.
Also, the US government reccomended that citizens begin using their phone-based registration system: Allowing the government to levy a $11,000 tax on all who wish to be added to the do not call list.
It's the war of the l33t-5cript kidd13s, and I fear they may be winning.
The only complaints I've seen about alphanumeric codes have been about the difficulty remembering them: I can't say they're much worse than US zip codes.
While laptop thefts aren't a horribly common thing, college freshmen brainfarts (tm) are. I say this while enjoying my first year standing. However, having spent a great deal of time with small office/home office/home-use computer consultants, I can say that laptop theft is *much* higher first year, than other years combined. (Non-scientific data gathering, to be sure).
Use common sense: If you make it portable, it is more likely to get stolen. It will also be more convienent, and probably better used. In my experience though, a desktop will be just as useful. If you need a computer on the other side of campus, you can probably find one to use.

I most definetly meant to say "wouldn't the lack of air resistance elminate the only thing that keeps ping-pong balls moving slowly?" Too much time spent in the business world, I can't even say something clearly.

I know the USSS (United States Secret Service) usually prosecutes computer crime in the States.
Pester them? -- It's worth a shot, they have offices in all 50 state (IIRC).
2 out of 3 people supporting it became....

Wait. Make that: New Zebrafish 2.0 now glows in the...
This can be construed as trolling can't it?
I wonder what the radar profile of a pedestrian is.
Smaller once you've hit them.
I actually laughed out loud to that.
Unfortunately, my boss was within earshot, and I have a distinctive laugh... this will make for an interesting meeting no doubt. : p
It seems Microsoft is doing something positive.

Just remember folks, Diakatana was VaopurWare for quite a while. Be careful what you wish for.
And, in related news, my typing skills have reached an all time low.
Right. Hindu != Buddhist. Buddha != Hindu

Samsung is releasing a sub 600 buck video camera that is "Smaller than a pack of cigarettes"
Smaller, and cheaper too!

I can't wait for Universal Location Codes v6.
With 1.8e4806 possible locations, it will be worth everyone memorizing a simple 2Meg file.

I strongly reccomend a desktop.

Arguably, it could be because I Am Not Fluent In French. :D
It wasn't meant to be a direct parallel, but rather was the rant of a guy who can't wait for work to end. : )
Seriously though, I did not mean to directly compare the two.
So do all restrictions on ownership.
If the government takes all the guns away, only the bad guys will have guns.
If someone wishes to avoid this system, they can, same with nearly all tracing systems. C'est la vie. IANFIF.
Wow, talk about not speaking clearly.
