Actually, you could just make the law effectively shut down all streaming music by simply creating a format that is so restrictive you can't actually listen to it (because you might record the audio then).
What I've tried (with some success) is to ask about things that are tangetially related to their work experience, but not actually necessary to get things done. I generally aim for things that they should have at least heard of.
The more inquisitive types will have looked into it at least a little bit, and at a minimum be able to give you a loose description of it. Some will even have quite a bit of detail. Failing that, you'll get a response of "I've heard that's good for blah, I've been meaning to check that out."
Obviously don't just do it with one tech, try a few different ones.
And for people being interviewed, the biggest thing that I've learned from asking the questions is that many of the questions being asked of you are not asked for the most obvious reason.
Eg: When I interview people who have worked with various unixes, I ask them which one they prefer. I don't actually care which one they like better. It's a set up for the next question, which is why do you like that one better? And that answer tells me all sorts of stuff. "Because I'm much more familiar with it." is an acceptable answer to me. I learn about what they value in an OS, as well as what they might or might not understand about what is actually different between them.
I'm not a lawyer either, but from what I understand, any rulings made in British courts prior to US independence can be used as legal precedents if they're not directly contradicted by either later rulings in the US or revisions to US laws.

The official way to pronounce "MySQL" is "My Ess Que Ell" (not "my sequel"), but we don't mind if you pronounce it as "my sequel" or in some other localized way.

Just say the magic words: 'tight coupling'
That's not sexual harassment?
FWIW
Is that pronounced 'phew' or eff-double u-eye-double u?
Same time as Java and C++, because nobody writes any code in those languages.
The word is you're. As in, "You're an asshole if you spell it as your."
What if I'm talking about your asshole?
Or perhaps assholes of yore?
I voted for Bush in the first term. And for that, I am very sorry.
I've never been a Bush fan, but pre-9/11 he was really more of an isolationist than anything else, and was tolerable if still undesirable.
It's just been everything since that's royally sucked about him.
Title is description! Describes producte! Tells you what does! How it helpes you! Programmation is programming with exclamation!
I'm gonna make my own internet, with blackjack and hookers! In fact, forget the internet and the blackjack.
You're going to make your own hookers?
I actually didn't notice the colon on the first two reads.
But I didn't mean that kind of colon.
Not knowing how to use a colon presents all kinds of problems.
My guess: they'll use lawyers.
My second guess is clowns, but we'll see which way it goes.
There's a difference?
I'd let a clown to one of my kid's birthday parties...

Normally when a person's head is cut off they DIE.
I suppose you're in the "Dead people don't think" camp. Well just try and explain ghosts then Mr. Smartypants.
...doesn't this mean that people will then simply cut off your head and have that scanned?
Maybe they're actually the same guy or evil twins.
Look at the initials.

Staggering.
Seriously though, that's not the only annoying one.

Nuff rambling. HTH.
Easy enough to say anonymously :)
GP said mildly less annoying. And it is. Every time I hear about del.icio.us I can't help but think about how retarded a name that is.

Rock, hard place, SCOX.
Methinks you meant it more like:

If I was forking up cash to get some, I think I'd rather a lazy hooker than a lazy slashdotter.
Kind of OT, but from their site:
