"Add RFID scanners to the broom closets, and give teachers RFID badges too, to identify which teacher/students are performing fellatio"
If the students have to use them, then the teachers should have to as well. It'll prevent teachers from giving one-on-one history lessons about the Clinton administration.
"Today the PC is often still considered just a tool, but together we need to make it a lot more than that. We need to make it a path to experiences,"
Replace "the PC is" with "drugs are."
From someone with a relaative who is working with Apple (and I'm not kidding) that there will be some kind of bluetooth watch to interface with the new iPod, as well as BT headphones.
"They get their kicks out of hobnobbing with other financial and politcal elites..."
It all comes down to power and the ability to exercise it. People don't get their kicks from exercising power, just from posessing it. That is the scourge of human existance: power and its ability to corrupt.
"I'm hoping the scene does this "because its there and it can be done" for this 99% or so terrible content. But the piece on the people making a "Netflicks content" server implies otherwise."
Yes, it does imply that there are certain groups dedicated to pirating the material of only one stuido or company. And who are these mysterious donors who provide the insiders, packagers and distributors with the hardware to put this content out there? They could be the studios and labels trying to wage war on their competitors. Look at the Netflix group: they could be financed by Blockbuster in an effort to damage a competitor.
This could be the most widespread example of industrial espionage in history.
What I understand is that Lightning will function in a manner similar to KDE's Kontact application: You can run the mail and calendar programs from inside it, or you can run them seperately. For example, if I want to check my email, I can start up Kontact and open Kmail from there, or I can start KMail independently.
EvilGoodGuy has a point. It could be possible that some of these site outages were caused by a "domino effect." When one or two sites were taken out (MPAA? DDoS?), people panicked and started trying to grab the torrents they could from other sites, fearing that these other sites might get shut down as well. This caused these sites to collapse under the immense traffic, fueling the suspicion that there was a large-scale crackdown.
So, please, give it a rest. Just for a few days. Let things calm down and then see what really happened.

It's dead, Jim.
Speaking of PBS, what is the legality of a US citizen downloading their content?
But you can make products that make it harder for them to make these stupid mistakes.
No, it's your electric bill after using this thing for a day.
Pentium 525. Dunno why, but it just sounds right.
And it is insanely great.

So the answer is Russians with frickin' laserbeams on their trawlers?
Is this on Stemmons, near the courthouse and the river?
Actually, he's from Connecticut. But people down here are stupid enough to believe he's Texan. I used to be one of them.

So, if you wanted a TV tuner, you could just download the code for it instead of having to buy one? That is ridiculously cool.
I saw one of these made with an old Powerbook Duo about 3 or 4 years ago.
Another headline you won't see "Star Wars Episode III nominated for 12 Oscars."
That movie is gonna blow.
And which is the first? The Terminator, or 2001: A Space Odyssey?
And when you enter "y," the first thing you get is "yahoo."
It still dosen't change the fact that my passport photo sucks.

AOL Instant Messanger. Kids these days think that there is no other way to communicate.
