How many minutes can you get on a DV tape? Everytime I read this stuff I start to do some furious math, because it sounds like the perfect CHEAP solution for backup tapes (save data to your DV tape instead of video).
What does a DV tape cost? $10? Hold 1/2 hour? 70GB for $10. That's dirt cheap.
I agree. With the explosion of wireless, power-lines pushing bits, history of modem-BBS's, and things yet unthought of, I can't think of Cable + Phone companies being able to control the internet.
In the very worse case, I imagine people could go underground and share data between computers with some type of medium. Even if it ends up being snail-mailing an encrypted CD-R to people in your "group" to stay up to date on how to stay in contact, share non-DRM files, etc.
There is always Ham Radios, too. Not that pushing packets has proven great results, but short emails could work.

Ah. There's the solution! We take over Austria. Our troops are only have a continent away. I'm sure they'd enjoy some austrian beer for a while instead of eating sand.
I tell you what... there will be some people being made examples of that WILL go to federal prison. After that, it'll be the simple mail-a-fine they send to everyone, and people will cave.
I mention this, because the 30+ people busted in Operation Buccaneer (warez release group) got up to 33 months in federal prison + felony on their records + big fine.
The guy who released The Hulk got 6+ months in prison (and a huge fine. 250K? 150K?)
RIAA is next. And they like the attention. Remember, anything over $2500 'stolen' constitutes a felony!
LOL. The code that was stuffed into your "GPL Legal" linux source code was stolen. You can believe in magic faeries if you want, if that helps rationalize where all the code magically came from.
That's nuthin. Those same people do this to hard drives that had confidential material on them:
Delete the files. Duh. Then grind off the platters inside the hard drive. This final dust is then kept in a vault for 8 years to be sure it is completely demagnetized.

But did it take 15 minutes per floppy to fill up? DVD-R does.
Switching to DVD-R archives anytime soon?

Homophobe.
Guess you weren't here during the 12 years of Reaganomics.
I use paper and a stamp!

No, they're supportive of live-show trading. Big difference.
Honest question: Huh?
Just a guess, but maybe Microsoft is fronting the bill. Not to mention that buy.com is a front for some bigger company
I am an Apple hating sonnofabitch and proud of it. But you speak the truth.
Yea, it's almost like reading a typo or something. What are these guys thinkiing? THis shit better not catch on!
Windows + IE + WMP + MS DRM
No thanks, I'll stick to IRC and Newsgroups, thanks.

No kidding.
Doesn't have to be so sinister.
Didn't they have one of those shred up Steve Buscemi in Fargo?
Now there's a way to prolong his significant irritation.

Lobbyists, lobbyists. (sp?)
I think you overestimate most of the police officers being capable of qualifying for a 45K office job.
