Perhaps if (since these are supposed to be the public airwaves) one radio station per coverage area could be set aside by the FCC as a cooperative; a TRULY public station. Sort of like the organic grocery cooperative I belong to is run.
-) There'd be a membership fee for each household. Something nominal. The membership fee at my co-op is $100 lifetime.
-) Each member gets to vote for a board of directors who run the station (hires djs, purchases Cds and equipment, etc.)
This would ensure community ownership and operation of what is again, supposed to be the public airwaves. This would ensure what the community wants to hear would be played. This would ensure local interests would be met.
I'm not sure what British search and seizure laws are, but I assume there must be some kind of probable cause ok'd by a judge or equivilent impartial official?
Not that I would be surprised if this sort of thing passed in the US without such protections.
I can't believe they forgot...

I cant believe the apple ad was on there, but the Bert is Evil site was not.
http://www.bertisevil.tv/
This was the first website I remember really being something everyone heard of, whether they were on the internet at that time or not.
When I was using Napster, I was sharing and downloading live Grateful Dead and Black Crowes shows. Both are fully permissible by the bands and free of copyright. But since a few corporate f*cks were worried about 2% growth versus 3%, I lost the best trading source I ever had. (I never ONCE downloaded frickin' Metallica!)
Keep in mind, I STILL have a Sony (one of the companies always fighting to bring down Napster, Kazaa, etc.) CD-IT blank audio cassette, whose sole purpose was to tape from CDs. Trouble was, back then, CD-Burners weren't generally available and pretty much all the CDs there were to copy were copyrighted. Talk about hypocricy!
So how long before upgrades make this "bionic eye" significantly better than a human eye?
Will we reach a point where attaching this bionic eye becomes an elective surgery where someone wants to simply improve their eyesight beyond 20/20; beyond what a mere "human" can see?
Breast inlargements, designer babies, bionic implants....where is it all going?
"can be remote controlled by the PC via WiFi or bluetooth"
So can this feature be combined with a previously posted Slashdot story? Can users use bluetooth to make the robot approach a nice young woman in a train station and ask if they're "Toothing?"
"...which would exempt parties from sanctions for electronic evidence destroyed in a 'routine operation of the party's electronic information system.'"
So I suppose the following is perfectly acceptable:
McDonalds certainly wouldn't have had the success it has had if it merely stuck to the original menu, which was simply hamburgers, fries and shakes; that's it.
You need to give the people new stuff to keep their appetites wet.
Heck, it's been so long since the last stable release, people might have simply thought Woody was it!
Obviously the powers that be in the UK have completely ignored the ramifications of the war between Khan and the augments and the rest of the normally conceived humans on earth (which techinically began in 1996?).
What's next? Experiments in cybornetic implant? Nanites?..... Doh!
"Paleontologists forced to break the creature's massive thighbone to get it on a helicopter..."
Who was heading this team, Homer Simpson?
I can just see him now: Homer: "Grrr..." Lisa: "Dad, it's just too big to fit in there." Homer: "Nonsense Lisa, daddy will just shove it in....Grrr....here it goes...." *snap* "...DOH!"
Is this ONLY for AIM? Or have they/would they/will they include email into this TOS?
I mean, if I email my grandparents pictures of my kid, could AOL claim exclusive ownership and use of the picture and use if for promotional campaigns?
It's Berman's fault the series on TV is as stale as it is. Proof is that some of the ST novels are tremendously well-written, proving their are plenty of new, fresh, and quality stories left to tell in the final frontier.
Of the best, are the DS9 relaunch, which continues the story of Deep Space Nine directly after the TV series ends, and Peter David's remarkable New Frontier series with it's Xenexian captain Mackenzie Calhoun. This series has proved, IMHO, to be one of the best out of all the Trek series.
Slashdot Mirror
Yet another 10-letter word! Kick@$$! Now maybe we can get that 10 Letter Acrostic Puzzle solved without controversy!

Well, if anyone wants a good place to start, here's a URL with a big long list of 10 letter words:

Does "C" know what files "A" is downloading from "B"? THAT would make "C" logs irrelevant.
Probably. Who knows with Captain Coo-Coo Bananas in charge?
Why is it that this makes me want to do a little happy dance? :)
I bet the MPAA thought that while their actions might have been *technically* illegal, they certainly weren't hurting anybody.
Sound familiar?
This is what happens when geeks get billions of dollars (from going public) and have no parental supervision. :)
It's never evil to stick it to the man!
That was just too cool. A commercial I enjoyed watching.
Other companies should take lessons. At least try to entrtain me if you wish to market to me.

Hey, it worked!!! This post is the proof.

You think since the FBI did this study, they'd prevent geeks like me from breakin ginto THEIR network doing the exact same thing they bosted about.

Proprietary XML? Leave it to Microsoft to completely miss the whole damn point.
Have we learned nothing from Star Trek?

Yeah it's cool, but how much of your system's resources does it take up?
I mean hell, I can't even stand KDE and have been using IceWM for a while now for the specific reason that it runs light.
You know, I have a jabber account. But not one other person I converse with uses it. :(
