It's no different than electricity or telephone access.
Are we talking about students who pay for their internet access just as they pay their electric and telephone bills, or do they get all that stuff included in their tuition these days?
If they didn't want people to visit their site then they shouldn't have posted it on the web. Or they could password-protect their pages. I see nothing wrong with/. publicizing links to any and every web site.
People don't *have* to run bandwidth-metered websites.
I bought my laptop used. It had "property of Rent-A-PC" stickers on it, and my first night with it was spent eradicating a multitude of virii. I bet a lot of people who buy used PCs don't think of checking them for mal-ware right off the bat.
I wrote a short story in fifth grade based on Adventure, which I'd played on the TTY at a friend's house. That would've been in 1980, I think, and my friend's dad was a professor at the University of Michigan. My teacher thought it was pretty good (or maybe he just said that about every assignment we turned in).
It lets you dig into the iTunes metadata and see what label owns a given song, so you could write a perl script to weed out RIAA-affiliated songs.
Organists Behaving Badly

There was a piece on the radio earlier today about "Organists Behaving Badly." That's a group of church organists who try to work secular music (e.g. the theme from The Simpsons) into their repertoire without any of the churchgoers catching on. One of the organists they talked to was involved with ShipOfFools.com.
If you want to google for it, I think it was a BBC radio story.
Don't we already have laws addressing fraud, child porn, and other felonies? I want a law addressing spam, not a law addressing spam that already breaks other laws.
Is the IRS/Treasury Dept. going to provide me with an accountant(s)? It's bad enough that they expect me to calculate my own income tax bill; they're nuts if they expect me to track all my internet purchases just so I can pay them, too!
Cool! Thanks for the link, Rick! I don't know that it means NH has addressed the concerns of Massachusetts residents, but at least I know where to look for the answer now.
I vaguely remember a controversy from a decade or so ago. I think Sununu was governor of New Hampshire at the time. The Seabrook nuclear power plant in Seabrook, New Hampshire is about 40 miles from Boston, and is in a very popular summer vacation spot (adjacent to Hampton and Salisbury Beaches). Traffic in the summer is, as you might expect, very heavy with beach-goers. New Hampshire settled on an evacuation plan for the power plant that, in many people's minds, ignored the reality of traffic jams in the area. It also ignored those living on the other side of the nearby Massachusetts border. Many in Massachusetts called for a postponement in operation of the plant until a more acceptable evacuation plan was released, but, IIRC, New Hampshire said, in effect, "you're not the boss of us" and went ahead and put Seabrook into service. I don't remember the evacuation plan ever being modified after that.
If anyone can remember events better than I can, please speak up!
This is the first time I've checked out NASA TV. I don't get it on cable, so I used their Windows Media feed. It's the best-looking streaming video I've seen yet! Decent resolution and a high frame rate, no tearing when people walk around.
Unfortunately, I missed the launch and just caught the news conference afterward. Apparently, "nominal" roxors NASA hard.:)

Being tall can also help your career. Try hanging from the bar in your closet while you sleep.

Well, I wouldn't have expected *that*!
Because it had Win2000 installed on it. I don't have a Win2000 install disk, and I wanted to try out that version of Windows.

Work with people you like. It makes all the difference.
Because we all open every attachment that arrives in our email, right? Have you heard of something calle d a virus?
So you're saying that Linux is to OS X (is to Windows) as Nader is to Kerry (is to Bush)?
:D

I don't want *any* of my money going to RIAA members. The only way I'll buy music these days is direct from the artist.

It's funny because it's true!
But if I draw what I want, the matches that come up will all, no doubt, be mis-shapen!
Your ideas intrigue me. Please tell me more.
I never imagined I'd see Sun products being sold at Wal-Mart!
I could live with that.

So reliable 911 service *isn't* an advantage that POTS has over VOIP?

All right, here's some text.
