It sounds like your conscious mind would be obliterated and a new one created, although the new one might not be aware of it.
I think that's exactly what is happening all the time anyway.
We think of time as continuous, but really it can be described discreetly (knowing that Rate x Time = Distance), the smallest measure of time must be the smallest distance (not sure, maybe the Planck length?) divided by the fastest rate (c, the speed of light).
So... if time isn't continuous, how do you know that you are the same "you" after each unit of time that passes? Maybe your condition changes by some random probability function, but no different than what teleportation would do to you.
Plenty of people around who say, "But what if I then change the name and email to that of my most hated enemy and upload those??" though. Yeah. Okay.
Don't underestimate the number of spiteful people from all demographics who will do exactly that. It seems like petty revenge, but it will happen just as commonly as other forms of "internet abuse".

The WORST thing is that even today, there are people who think Macs are only slightly better versions of the Apple ][. This, from people who only check email and perhaps play computer games... their systems bludgeoned by spyware and viruses... calling tech support over forgotten passwords and minor printing difficulties...
Companies will often try to maintain "reputation" by using a rigid, non-interactive web design. With Flash, for example, a website becomes just a commercial to sell the perception of quality, or the illusion of branding.
Glass windows are a suitable barrier in most places. But if I leave my door unlocked, there is a very good reason that insurance won't pay me for anything you steal.
It isn't enough for DOS to stop. I want them to pay for what they have done to my beautiful internet. I want them to bleed and to suffer greatly for crime of extorting moneys from innocent web administrators.
Do you think that models and actresses from the 1970s through mid-90s ever imagined their sex scenes would be available for FREE AND EASY download to ANYONE on the planet?
Talk about "youthful indiscretions". That's gotta hurt.
And many believe that you MUST always put real and complete info on every web form you encounter, just like you would with forms in meatspace.
I have seen that, as well as the opposite problem-- my dad, for example, thinks he has cleverly fooled the world into never being able to track him, just by using a fake name. When I describe the methods that "THEY" can still scam him, he firmly asserts: "They can't do that!"
!? "Really dad, they can."
"No they can't!"
For the longest time, I kept my parents on dial-up just to minimize the disaster-per-bandwidth potential.
Why should people who don't have kids be expected to work extra hard to cover for the pampering of people who do have kids?
Some parents don't admit to the value of their own kids. They act like their offspring are a handicap and not a blessing.
The reason childless folks earn more is because they pay the price in loneliness - in childlessness.
Unless you are going to invite coworkers to spend time with your kids and appreciate them, don't whine that others have it easy or "don't understand" your needs.
It's like labeling a box "Corn Flakes" but when you read the ingredients it lists saw dust and rat poison...."Tough luck- we warned you right on the box what you were getting!"
I wonder if it is technologically possible to bait the RIAA into suing you... set things up to look like you up or downloaded, but with proof that you are innocent.
They when they come for you, counter-sue for billions.

Technically a "watermark" alters the sound itself in some unique way, although immeasurably to human ears. But I see your point.

(Isn't that right, all you "Hubsters"?)
Of course not. I was making my own point, not countering his. Mine's better.

They were fools to produce something they knew (or should have known) would be copied by millions.
Stop making movies if it costs too much. Nobody is entitled to guaranteed profit.

Bread really is the "Body of Christ"... just don't look at it!

I am far more worried about senior citizens being preyed on than any child online.

If you ask me, Peter Carroll seems to have borrowed much from Dr. Gene Ray's "Nature's Harmonic Simultaneous 4-Day Time Cube".
Is this legitimate, licensed use of Post-It notes -- or will 3M send a cease and desist notice?

Where many people are starving, it's usually because people like Castro have taken a nation's food supply to feed their army and incite civil wars.
"For the greater good", they will say...
Probably, except for the "lying under oath" and "conspiracy to commit fraud" aspects. Those pesky details...

It is exactly the opposite of what laws are meant to do- ie. spell out in detail: what is allowed, and what isn't.
They bought the show, forced them into ridiculous storylines, and then killed it once they realized the show could never be like "Lexx".
