Better yet, immagine this. One minute a burgalar is looking through the window into my empty living room, the next he's seeing an image of someone running towards him with a shotgun.
This is really not much different, in my opinion. Cisco is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ, which is a US based stock market. The shareholders (mostly US citizens) should be ultimately responsible, not only for ensuring profits, but also be held responsible for any misdeeds the company commits...
But where does it all end? If you have a 401k that invests in tobacco companies, are you liable? If you work at NASA, which employed nazi scientists and used data collected by the nazis to plan space missions are you liable? Corporations are amoral as are many investors. It is up to organizations like AI to make a stink about these kinds of things to discurage investment and influence buying decisions.
As long as they don't pick a goofy voice for snowy. His thoughts were some of the funniest parts of the book, but he wasn't goofy. Closer to Brain than Scooby. He also found a lot of the clues, even if accidentally.
This usually works on the weak-willed. If they don't have a weak will when they start working at RS, a couple of months on the job will give them one:
Me: I'd like to buy these batteries Sales: I need your address Me: You don't need my address (wave hand -- this part is very important) Sales: I don't need your address Me: You serve your master well and will be rewarded.
How about a "buy from an independant label day" Agree on a certain day when we all go out and buy a CD from a company who is giving good music at a good price w/o the copy protection. Support your local bands. I have a couple of friends who have bands and I'm listening to one of their CDs right now.
At first there were records and they were good. You could easily seek to any song, but they weren't very portable. Cassette tapes were a step forward in this respect, so people switched. Later on there were CDs which are just as portable as cassettes with the added benefit of seeking. For the average music listener, 8 track, DAT and reel to reel offered no advantages and they sort of died out.
Now the music industry wants to change formats to encrypted digital disks. What are they offering us to switch? Extra content? Digital liner notes or cover art? DVD-esque interviews, band commentary? The disks aren't even a new color or shape for crying out loud. Hopefully people won't rush out and buy new players "just because".
I can hear the preview now...

scary piano music in the background...
Deep voice: Just whn you thought it was safe to turn off your computer..
Someone in a Bill Gates mask jumps out from behind the desk and starts chasing the user while brandishing a giant paperclip.
Paperclip: You look like you're being hunted by a madman in a Bill Gates mask. Do you need any help?
The squares of the periods of the planets are proportional to the cubes of their semimajor axes (http://home.cvc.org/science/kepler.htm).
So the mass of a planet has nothing to do with its orbital period (well, assuming it is small enough that it doesn't make the sun orbit it). So anything placed at Earth's distance from the sun and moving at the same speed would orbit the sun in the same path the Earth does regaurdless of its mass.
They should make the radio cache the songs. This way, they could just transmit a command like "play boyband X song Y" Since there is a limited playlist, this could really free up some bandwidth.

Since the IRS is supossed to know the tax codes, why don't they have an online web site where you can file?
IIS crashes you.
Oops, that is ISS.
Looks like any other bong I've seen, but what is the LED for?
Lauder slammed his Replay box, 'it's too hot,' 'my wife doesn't know how to use it,' and he even tried to fry an egg on his PVR.
Well, as long as one of them knows how to cook with it they won't go hungry.
Not only that, but they are making yu pay for all of the channels even though you can only watch one at a time.
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
What did you say?
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I asked if you'd like a cold beer.

Seriously though, I've seen a demo of this technology about 5-6 years ago and It's pretty cool.

Hello, Vegas? Give me 100 bucks on red... D'oh! All right, I'll send you a check.
Why put a 10 year battery in a cell phone that will be thrown out in less than 2 years? And why put radioisotopes in the hands of teanagers?
The band-aid covering my paper cut is getting ripped off. yow!!

Edna: You've cut back on everything: salaries, supplies, the food -- [takes a bite] -- I don't care what you say, I can taste the newspaper.
Skinner: Posh. Shredded newspapers add much-needed ruffage and essential inks.
Interesting physics, but Kepler's third law says:

An ethanol-powered PDA? It could double as a hip flask.

Makes me wish I didn't have an overdue copy of 'Hop on Pop' from 1978.
Wait, that sounds like a zippy quote.
Well Arthur, it looks like this elipse has come full circle.
I understand 'cuz,' but what's with the 'wuz'? It's the same amount of letters as 'was', so what's the point?
I blame hooked on phonics.
