One of the easiest ways to notify someone would be for an ISP to check the FBI's list of IPs for some of their own, and redirect anyone browsing from those IPs to a page explaining the problem. You would only have to redirect them once an hour for the message to get through.
That said, they probably don't want to deal with technically incompetent customers calling to complain that someone keeps hacking their internets.
Bluetooth doesn't have much of a range on it, limiting its usefulness.
If this allows a remote machine to browse my memory card then sign me up. 2-3 times a year I have to walk around an event taking pictures while my partner sits at the laptop printing them out. If I could get the images to her without physically returning to the laptop every time, things would be much easier.
My only worry is the effect it has on battery life.
I recall reading an article about how Madonna technically broke the law by releasing dummy tracks to p*ss off filesharers. She (or her agency) released a track that comprised the first few seconds of the actual song, followed by Madge saying "What the f*ck to you think you are doing?" over and over.
Turns out this is technically illegal because it can be considered an unfair trade practice. To quote from the above: "the FTC has general jurisdiction over fraud, false statements, fraudulent pretexts, hucksters, con-artists, and most things deceptive"
I have a 'general' catchall account where everything goes. If I sign up to SlashDot, I use the address slashdot@mydomain.tld, for amazon it's amazon.co.uk@mydomain.tld and so on and so forth. It identifies just who has sold or spread my email address when the spam starts rolling in.
The other, 'specific', account on my domain is the one with aliases. info@ is the one I'm currently using for personal email and I do get a few spams there. I also have slashdot@ as an alias on that account because that's where my daily slashdot mail is sent. If it were ever harvested somehow, I would remove the slashdot alias, change my slashdot email preference and add the new address as an alias.
Once the spam to info@ gets too much, I'll change it (I am guilty of using info@ on a website - my bad) and tell everyone I want to hear from to use somethingelse@mydomain - anybody I forget to mention will email the junk account and I'll see their messages the next time I browse through it.
Effectively I am validating the email sent to me using the address it was sent to, and I receive only the messages that I want to receive - those on my 'approved aliases' list.
For a 640x512, 4096 (doesn't that sound sad!) colour display you would open a 16-colour screen and change the colour of the 16 pens not only on every line, but on every 16th pixel too, using the machine's Copper List thingymabob.
The whole process was insanely CPU-intensive on an A500, but at least you could do it.
I don't actually mind banner ads one bit and use them myself, working them into the actual design of a site. I think the trick is to ensure that they're part of the site, much like their paper counterparts.
If the owner of a site is happy using them and doesn't mind people being put off by seizure-inducing colours (if they're stupid enough to use those particular ads) then that's fine, it's part of their site design and should be treated as such.
If NAV2004 strips them then they're censoring websites to some extent, or modifying a published work, however you want to see it. I can see a class-action lawsuit in the making here because Symantec are preventing people from earning. I predict the Ad-Blocking will be turned off in a future round of LiveUpdate.
I can see rental companies having the option to either buy them cheap with a pre-determined profit, or produce them on the premises with dedicated equipment, which would help them avoid buying stock they can't sell, depending how long it takes to burn a disc.
As for returning them - if it's just a rental (ie no cover art) then the return address, complete with minimum postage code, can br printed on the back. If sleeves can be made up in-store then they could also have a bar code which, when scanned, credits your account with a dollar.

It's an automated system. There's no creative input.

In retaliation, her site was hacked. Heh.
Fair's fair - he does have a B.S. in Computer Science.
This is a good approach and similar to what I do.

Nah, it's a 'Division by Zero' Error, and therefore discounted.Avoid clicking on the above unless you REALLY REALLY like popups. Seriously.
Well most of the spammers have it already...
I'm more intrigued by the fact that it's an artists impression of what he looks like, rather than a photo.

Agreed - look at the "Battery Test" video - it's pathetically fake.
