Yes, tea made with boiling water tastes better, but coffee made with boiling water actually has its flavor degraded because the oils get scalded and turn more bitter. Brewing with hot but not boiling water preserves the flavor better. In either case, actually serving the beverage at its boiling point is not a good idea.
And then when the US government sees a foreign national using a fake address for financial transactions you'll get yourself labelled a terrorist and you'll be kidnapped in the middle of the night and sent to Cuba.
Sure. When God created all of the planets, he made Venus really hot and the mythical "Greenhouse Effect" invented by liberal scientists has nothing whatsoever to do with it being hotter than Mercury.
NBC show being shown on NBC's cable network isn't really syndication. They're not making it available to non-NBC local stations to show.
How this would affect Canadian distribution I have no idea, though. I would assume a show about American politics would have a smaller following in Canada anyway and there wouldn't be as much interest in reruns.
I don't think it's syndicated; Bravo (which is owned by NBC) seems to have the rights to all of the old episodes, which they show pretty much constantly with short breaks for Queer Eye.
Good luck trying to regulate interstate commercial activity on the state level.
Anyway, as I read it, California is free to charge spammers with falsifying headers to save the feds the effort of enforcing their law, but they can't allow civil suits against spammers or file charges for any non-falsified spam.
I wish editors would reject stories that are just blatently biased
Well, that would pretty much leave Slashdot with the Science and Ask Slashdot categories, and nothing else. Show me a fair and balanced story about SCO or RIAA.
Sure, it may seem simple to you, but if you were running a business you'd probably think it made sense to sell a product instead of spending millions of dollars on flimsy lawsuits against corporations with virtually limitless resources to throw at legal defense and countersuits.
Anyway, my point was that it's not fair to assume they're lying just because a smart person could circumvent the attack. It's equally probable that they're stupid and telling the truth.
RTFA. Or just the summary. "DoS Attack." One D. They don't claim it was distributed.
In any case, it was noticed by slashdot readers and mentioned in comments, even if none of those mentioning it chose to take credit.
As long as you're not republishing the information in the same format that they carefully organized it into, Feist v. Rural Telephone is pretty clear that the fact that the information didn't take any creativity on their part to develop (which is obvious unless they can prove that they control all of the TV channels and tell them when to put show on) disallows claims of copyright protection for the TV listings.
Granted, they are free to take actions to keep you from accessing their data.
Actually, according to their website, they charge $5/month unless you subscribe to Total Choice Premier, which costs $88/month. I've got Total Choice Plus with Local Channels ($40/mo) and they are charging my for my tivo service.
Zap2It's TOS are unenforceable in the US (at the moment). The Supreme Court has ruled that information found in databases of facts (and TV airtimes are facts) is not protected by copyright.
Sure, like the "oversight" that killed off PATRIOT Act II and forced Congress to hide identical stuff in an intelligence appropriations bill that's too secret to even be debated.
And sure, Admiral Poindexter was forced out of DARPA because he was stupid enough to tell people about TIA, but if you believe the Pentagon isn't implementing it anyway without publicizing it this time, you'll believe pretty much anything.
If anything, that would drive the percentage of downloaders owning players down, since the downloads are free and legal and provided to consumers who might not otherwise download music, and they only play on an iPod, which costs several orders of magnitude more than a bottle of Pepsi.

Categorical imperative. If no one paid for cable, the cable company would turn off everyone's service and then there's be no signal to steal.
More people smoke marijuana than steal cable service. By your argument, the government would never arrest anyone for possession.
Repeat after me: Java is not the same thing as Javascript.
Yeah and all of that extra pay over a year time adds up to what the CEO makes in a day. Whoopie.

Switch Software Update to only check for updates once a month, and you can have all of your updates at once, if it really causes you "madness."

well, there's always VersionTracker

For a company with $5.74 billion in revenues in the past 12 months, $1.25 million in 2 months isn't "a lot of money".

You might want to consider reading the comment you're replying to.
Why wouldn't I want to confuse a British spelling with the Americanized spelling of the exact same Greek word?

Must be a problem with your connection. Groklaw's running Linux, and it would be impossible for their server to go down.
