This is why the "imminent collapse of the internet" will soon ring true--once browsers automatically and continually load the pepsi site, the net will simply be abandoned once and for all...
Depending upon whether my proxy is on or off, I either get an error page stating that a local system of that name could not be found, or I get a google search of pepsi...
At first, when you wanted to check out Pepsi, you had to guess & write: http://www.pepsi.com/
And then browsers realized that non-http protocol became rare (gopher:// anyone?), so people could write:
www.pepsi.com
And then people realized that "www" was superfluous, and so people could write:
pepsi.com
Now it is suggested that the.com is superfluous in most cases, so people simply could write:
pepsi
How is this not just the natural evolution of technology and human interaction? My apologies to all those who love to rant about pet conspiracy theories...

Doesn't matter. Google will simply say, ok, the price I'm willing to pay for you snippets is $0.00 (â0.00). If you don't accept the deal, robots.txt...
So why are they following local laws, beyond those of Mountain View? Is this really how the internet should work? Either the lowest common denominator or having to follow a global patchwork of contradictory local laws?
1- Upgrade users to Lion for $29, unless they're already on Lion. Everything you need is then built-in (or already was). Dirt cheap vs. your time. Probably require users to do it first. I assume you're not supporting Windows 95?
2- Hire an admin with OSX skills, as you clearly lack them. Not to worry, there are still plenty of jobs for people who like to hack away at the Windows registry.
Consider that what iTunes store has is the most recent remasterings, and not the old ones from your old CDs.
Most of my music was ripped by me from CDs I bought in the '80s when CDs were new tech. A lot of horribly crappy quality CDs were turned out then, and which thus fail to "iMatch" for me now...:(
Big problem is that the music industry has long relied on media upgrades to bring in big income. LPs -> cassette tapes (once more popular than LPs) -> CDs -> digital files. It was generally easier to buy new, get better features, rather than upgrade on your own...
Unfortunately for them this can't really go any further... High quality 256k AAC from very high quality masters is about as far as normal humans can use. And I doubt there's going to be some new kind of physical media that is inherently better in some magical way than flash memory is...
Let's review. You post some tired old anti-Java list. I refute them point by point. You respond with a textbook ad hominem attack. I called you out on it, and wasn't the only one to do so. Now you're trying to save face, despite being an anonymous coward... If this is losing an argument, I'd love to see what winning one is like...
Java is primarily run on servers. Ubuntu (Canonical) makes great server OS(es).
I think Canonical is overreacting to the situation. They could easily distribute the "Sun JDK" the same way that they do Flash--where install downloads from the source site.
Alternately, if you are capable of putting one line of text in/etc/apt/sources, you're all set...

Have we really decided that the justice system is so corrupt that a primary goal is to "crash the system"?

Two alternative suggestions for you:
1- Upgrade users to Lion for $29, unless they're already on Lion. Everything you need is then built-in (or already was). Dirt cheap vs. your time. Probably require users to do it first. I assume you're not supporting Windows 95?

Any relation to that jerk in Georgia?
