Not necessarily. If anything, PDF is a great choice for distributing final copies of documents - it has exactly the right number of features, ts specs are published, and there are plenty of good tools (both open-source and commercial) for creating and reading it.
Acrobat, on the other hand, is a bloated pile of garbage.
Why is this funny? We used this at my old work, and it worked great.
The only real concerns are ease of sabotage (although normally the printer will be behind a locked door), equipment failure and fire - and the last ones are relevant for any logging system.
Disagree completely. Raising domain registration fees would just lower the signal-to-noise ratio:
From the summary: "Since 2000 he has quietly cobbled together a portfolio of some 300,000 domains that, combined with several other ventures, generate an estimated $70 million a year in revenue."
If those figures are to be believed, that works out at USD$233 per year per domain, on average. That's not even taking into account the fact that there are probably a large proportion of domains which make many times that.
I own several domains, none of which turn a profit (one for my personal site and mail, another for a group of friends, another is a linux-related site, and one for my parents). Raising prices would simply drive out the good sites, leaving commercial sites and a bunch of google adsense blogs, forcing any others to take on advertising or perish - all while putting even more money into the pockets of registrars.
It sounds as though what you really want is MusicBrainz, which creates acoustic fingerprints, rahter than relying on the filename. It worked for 95% of my music, and for the rest, I had no trouble looking up the cd details and adding it myself.
It's only actually 'Pi Day' for a limited number of people (Specifically, those in the United States). The rest of the world uses little-endian (dd/mm/(yy)yy) or, as is more appropriate for us geeks, big-endian (yyyy/mm/dd).
Copyright infringement is NOT THEFT. It is copyright infringement. We have a name for it for a reason, and that reason is to distinguish it from theft, in which you deprive another of the thing which you are taking. When you make a copy of something you are NOT taking it. You are copying it. Note too that copying and taking are not the same thing, which is why we have different words for them. I could be off-base here, but it seems that the worth 'theft' is almost justified here... After all, he is depriving Fox of the chance to be the first to publicly release the material.
Spinning your computer equipments that fast would cause serious damage to components. It would not work anymore, and using it would be virtually impossible. Not if you're spinning at the same speed! Try holding onto the cambelt of your car while sitting in an office chair.
How soon before being required to show ID when checking into Hotels/Motels? As it stands at the moment, very few hotels will allow you to check in without a credit card or photo ID + cash bond.
But then again, that's just to protect minibar revenue and against vandals, rather than the will of Big Brother.

Because you haven't installed this script.
I can think of several.
Because it's a lot easier if they can use a few big routers. NAT requires stateful tracking, which in turn would require a single point of failure.
It's a LOT cheaper this way.
They're not taking out ftp.exe as far as I can tell, so you should be okay.
Don't tell me that you actually use IE to download firefox ;)
I tried to mod your post, but unfortunately there's no -1 Wooooosh.

I heard exactly the same reasons used as justification for why DVD players will never overtake VHS players.
Price differences drop over time, especially when the only real differences are a laser and a bit of software.
I wouldn't go for an enclosure, given that he has more than a couple to go through.
Something like this would probably go down a lot better.
It's already been done, and seems to work quite well.
That said, this is one standard I don't see anyone sticking to.

Is that what we really want?
Fortunately, it hasn't shifted the bell curve. It's lopped off the lower third and isolated it from the rest of us.
First they ignore you
Then they laugh at you
Then they fight you

Actually, they are. New Zealand has, in fact, lost ANZUS support for our stance on them.

This has already been solved. Go to http://slashdot.org/users.pl?op=editcomm , and add a -2 modifier to 'Funny' posts.

And even if he did, it doesn't help the grandparent's case much

The thought of having to put down an entire town of battery-farmed Tuxes frightens me.
