I think that music is the "art" form that can be most easily ripped off and then completely refabricated (in this case played) for the end user. You may not want to read a book on screen or on printer paper, there is something substatial and satisfying about the book itself. As DVD copiers become more common and people don't have to watch movies that are grainy on their computer the movie industry may catch up with music.
The technology just supports the duplication of the art form better at this point time, The other major ingredient being the amount of money available (or at risk depending on your point of view) in the industry.
Undoubtedly the people involved, that lead to this recall had problems paying attention to the low battery indicator because they were on phone cell phone...had just spilled a hot cup of McDonalds coffee they were holding between their legs...were trying to emulate President Bush...driving under the influence...were stupid? naw couldn't be.
At last a topic and comment for which my sig truly applies.
Once the monetary link is established then there can also be civil or legal actions taken for damage of "Personal" property.

Why would NASA be shooting the piece of foam at the wing of the shuttle at "about 850 km (530 miles) hour" (sic.)?! The shuttle is going slowly when just taking off in the relatively dense atmosphere of the surface of the earth. As it picks up speed in the thinner upper atmosphere it is also in an environment with less friction.
The initial report that I remembered hearing, within days of the catastrophe, was that the shuttle was already doing around 1900/mph, when the foam detached and hit the wing. It (the shuttle) was probably still greatly accelerating at that point, and devoid of thrust, an oddly shaped, and "relatively" light piece of foam would probably gain some relevant kinetic energy by the time it contacted the wing. I haven't heard any more recent information on the speed of the shuttle at the time of the contact.
Yes I am aware of that, the first part of my comment was somewhat facetious. I suppose most of the NORAD radar systems to be somewhat north of anywhere that an amateur launch would take place, as I believe they mainly watched for an attack of the North Pole.
I do think that given the current world situation and the dim view given to anything resembling a terrorist attack that launching 16 foot rockets, even in a secluded area, would eventually attract some scrutiny.

There are 10 types of people in world.
- Those who don't get binary jokes
- Those that understand other bases
- And those that can't type what they are thinking (I'm this type right now)
I was laid-off for a while, and am occasionally laid
This will make more sense if I don't mistype something else.

It's still pretty far from slavery, but it's headed in the wrong direction. I hear talk on unionization of technical and other professionals, for bargaining purposes, but this would almost have to be done on a global scale, with the ability to move high tech work overseas. As long as people are willing to work harder for less, for themselves or even to benefit their country this type of problem can exist.
I'm not an advocate of older failed systems, such as communisim or some form of socialism, and I certainly don't have any answers right now.

I'm an IT professional that was laid for a while, though I've been back to work for about a year now, so I count myself luckier than many out there. I'm working as a contractor. I'm making less than I was before, getting less time off, and working harder.
The work is generally more fun right now as I'm more technical than management. The company is not allowing overtime at this point, but with new laws, even that possibility might go away. You end up working more hours than 40 anyway to keep your job, but not reporting them.
Being off of work for a while changes your perspective on how hard you're willing to work to keep a job.

You are, of course, correct. What do you expect of one with somewhat less intelligence than Arthur Dent.

Probably off topic, so Mod me as you will,
However, there is a great picture on the
Astronomy Picture of the Day that looks like its flipping you off.
I would say F)8 because it is the only one that can be pronounced as a work. FATE. Is that "simple" enough for you.

It'll be in his next movie, that Michael Moore was able to purchase one of these, with out registration, at a Tim Hortons.
Sounds like an invitation for NORAD to fire on Canada.
Seriously, just how big and how high do these missiles have be, before they attract military attention of an undesired nature.
