"I don't think it will work, I doubt that SE will work ANYTHING like crack. People like power, if Joe User bought it, then found out it was crippled I think it would actually turn him off of MS products."
I'd have to disagree. What MS has achieved is a big advertising campaign(sp?). What we have is a PC with no (useful) OS, exactly what they tried to stop. The only difference is MS has managed to get their "sampler" on it. People will use it, get used to it. After a while they will realize that they need an OS with more power. They now know XP, so they get the full version.
"How can we get our Iranian friends back in the Web?"
The Iranian government has determined that these blogging and email / chat services are used my terrorists. These blocks are in place to prevent terrorist communication. You people in the USA should understand that to be protected, people MUST give up certain rights and liberties.
Those previews are great. I just download them and loop them until they go for about 3 to 5 minutes. You can't tell the difference with a lot of these songs. With some of them, I just rename the file and it is like I got a new song. It is GREAT.
I recall a show called "Towards 2000" (yes it was that old) that had a paint which would be used to protect a car's finish during transportation. This paint would be applied with a roller or brush and when dry will create a rubber or plastic like coating over the paint. It could then be peeled off when not needed.
The paint had the same characteristics as an interior acrylic house paint that was painted over and enamel paint without the proper undercoat.
I'd say it was more social limitations that prevented these events from happening.
1. Flying cars
We have trains that "fly" above the tracks. The reason people don't have flying cars is there is enough people killing themselves in regular "stay on the ground" cars.
2. Moon colonization
If the cold war had not ended and the competition still existed, there would have been a lot more space activity.
"all sporting events 'will be split up to accommodate enhanced and unenhanced athletes"
I recall a comedian talking about performance enhancing drugs and the people who say it is ok for an athlete to enhance their performances with any means they can. His response was "Ok, you enhance yourself with steroids, I'll enhance myself with this motor car."
I am an athlete that is enhanced by being encased in metal in which my power is increased to several hundred hp.

After reading that I couldn't get the image of Bill and Marty from KBBL out of my head.
Marty: Hey, thanks Bill. Yes having access to the source code or the "building instructions" is evil. And we at Microsoft will keep you save from all the evil stuff.
Bill: That's right Marty. And the next person who rings in will win a months supply of IE updates.
Marty: Watch out Bill, that slashdot crowd is trying to take us off the air.
Bill: That's ok Marty, we have the latest IIS, we are as safe as... NO CARRIER
I've been hit in the eye by a CD player laser. I was cleaning it and my "friend" decided to plug it in a turn it on while I was inspecting the laser surface for any remaining dust.
After about 5 years, the "floaties" are still there, and will be there for ever.
"Floaties" are the dead cells that were cooked by the laser. Not fun.
Then they have the nerve to add a levy because fuel prices are high.
How to make it big: Pass ALL* expenses to consumers, keep profits to yourself.
* If you do not have enough expenses, make some up.
Because of this fucked up world we live in where one piece of creative work (movies) can be "protected" with copyright lasting forever and another piece of creative work (code) will never be "protected".
Maybe if I write my code more like a book it can be covered.
BTW, I am in Australia (spelling: America2) so if the US gets this, well will also get this.
1. We will get US style *fuck the world* patent laws 2. We refuse to sign the Kyoto protocol 3. We have a little man with too much power in charge 4. We voted him in
How often have you written you CV in about 1 minute? CVs are written, rewritten and the proofread to make them "the best they can be". An email explaining that a server had to manually be rebooted does not have to win the Nobel prize for literature.
An email can be considered a POST-IT note. Either attached to a document or stuck on a persons monitor. Nothing more.

They use this money to DESTROY YOUR FAMILY and friends.
Help US stop them by encouraging your friends to purchage a VTCS enabled DVD system.

Here is a piece of a conversation I heard the other day:
TS guy: Is apple going to sell a sub $500 computer?
MAC guy: I cannot tell you that because it would voilate the NDA.
TS guy: Hmm, ok. Will this $500 computer have an office suite?
MAC guy: I cannot tell you that because it would voilate the NDA.
TS guy: Will it have a monitor?
MAC guy: I cannot tell you that because it would voilate the NDA.
TS guy: Thanks for your time.
Or worse is when governments are unable to improve any infrastructure without requiring multi-billion dollar contractors.
Well actually it would be:

IIRC, Beyond 2000 was the successor of Towards 2000 as we entered the 90s
But I believe you are right. I think it was Amanda Keller and it was a red sports car that was painted with the white protective paint.
I recall a show called "Towards 2000" (yes it was that old) that had a paint which would be used to protect a car's finish during transportation.

Don't forget Australia.
1. We will get US style *fuck the world* patent laws
2. We refuse to sign the Kyoto protocol
3. We have a little man with too much power in charge
4. We voted him in
And yet the Australian Govt refuse to sign a peace agreement with most of the countries around the Asia pacific area.
Hmmm, we have fatter wallets, weaker defences, and yet we refuse to enter into peace with our neighbours.
Eventually it will be The world versus Australia + America + England
