That's not what is intended for. You could use the same argument about bomb detecting devices and say "How is that going to stop someone with a Samurai sword chopping people up in a local mall.
Who cares! So are almost all professional football players and just about anyone who does serious bodybuilding. Weight has almost nothing to do with health or fatness. I know there are health problems in America but saying that because 60% of people are overwieght, 60% of people are fat is just completely wrong. Just look at a bodybuilder magazine and compare their hieght with their wieght and then check the formula for determining overwight people.What you find is alot of super healthy people are infact "overwieght" but are not fat in the slightest.
I don't know if you are aware of this but microsoft has a list of key-codes that they give out to people who legally purchased windows, but whose key codes don't work. The list is in circulation and most "pirates" use one of the 20 key codes on this list(if they have any google searching skills at all). Effectively giving them access to the updates. This is all "second hand knowledge" of course...Of course in order to do this you first have to use the "Blue List" key code to install winndows, the use a special technique to currupt the key code value in the registry(again just google). After that you enter the activation wizard and enter in one of the key codes on the list. There you go a fully "Windows Update" friendly pirate copy of WinXP.
Probably the same reason regualr appliance betteries haven't got much better in the last decade. if the stuff lasts too long why would you have to buy more or upgrade to the latest and greatest? Point being: Maybe they sell poor quality CD-Rs so that you have to backup(buy more frequently) more often.
Back up your stuff onto high-capacity Hard Drives and put them in some little anti-static plastic baggies and keep them in the freezer. Once something more reliable and better per gig storage comes along upgrade. Or just upgrade all your media to the latest and greatset storage every ten years.
This has got to be one of the worst arguments ever created by man. we would probably be a few hundrded years ahead in terms of technology if people didn't ever use this argument. Here is one: If Linux is so good why isn't everyone using it?
When I compare storylines I usually compare the game to: Dues Ex, Metal Gear Solid, and Final Fantasy VII. If anyone is into storyline in game these are a must play.
I take it you've never seen Battle Royale, Suicide Club, and Dead or Alive(all very popular with Japanese youth). Please do not portray Japanese culture as more violent then The States, it is just plain wrong.
Why is it that digital photos are not legal evidence
in a court case but if they have your IP address doing the downloading(or uploading) automatically means you did it? Because computers don't lie? BS! I can think of a hundred ways that they could have false positives(such as IP spoofing and and using stolen remote connection and the like). I don't see how they could get it right everytime and that those people wouldn't fight it.

So what your saying is Kerry is agianst the PATRIOT Act?! Better check your facts buddy; both major candidates support the PATRIOT ACT.
What about the NRA which also fights for your rights...the right to protect yourself and your family.
I meant Dead Or Alive the extremely violent yakusa movie, not the video game...(which by comparison is a kid friendly game)
When I compare storylines I usually compare the game to: Dues Ex, Metal Gear Solid, and Final Fantasy VII. If anyone is into storyline in game these are a must play.
Small Mistake..."less" violent is what i meant sorry.
I take it you've never seen Battle Royale, Suicide Club, and Dead or Alive(all very popular with Japanese youth). Please do not portray Japanese culture as more violent then The States, it is just plain wrong.
Sounds like a prime location for some internal investigating...Maybe the FBI has a wireless varient of the "Carnivore" blackbox.
