I don't see why Internet access couldn't be provided by a local government as part of what taxes pay for as much different than paying for schools, keeping up roads, snow removal, etc. etc. It should be up to local governments to decide what benefits citizens derive from their tax payments.
"The success of these attacks relies upon a certain level of social engineering to persuade the individual to click on the link."
The brighter criminals seem to understand this well and more and more scams are less about clicking on something than it is about convincing someone to provide their SS#, banking info, etc.

Perhaps he was concerned that the Dr. Who character tends to typecast the actor more rapidly then in other series so he would do one season, harvest the fame, and move on to things that pay better? Just a thought (jeeze I have bad thoughts at times).
He will survive. After he emerges from bankruptcy he will start a new company that delivers spam or does something similar. It's in his blood and I can't see the guy doing something else for a living.
I don't see how they can do anything else given the complexity of the problem and the fact that this does need to be addressed with a fresh set of laws that replace (rather than add to) the existing.
Indeed, many legal observers say the high court is likely to leave the law largely as is and if it wants a different outcome, to ask Congress to change the copyright law.
The indignity is all the greater when you consider Yahoo!'s numbers: 165 million registered users, 345 million unique visitors a month, $49 billion market cap, and a 62 percent increase in revenue last quarter, bringing 2004 total revenue to $3.6 billion. Yahoo! makes more money and has more patents, services, and users than Google; it even has its own yodel.
Or maybe folks are just tired of stacking up one more game console. I have two young teenagers and we could open a store with everything from the Ninenteno, Nindento 64........PlayStation 2, XBox, ad nauseum. My kids weren't interested in the PSP. I have to admit I expected them to coming begging for it but they showed little interest. So, that's $250 + games + peripherals saved (theoretically, anyway).
I agree and I do. Albums at allofmp3.com run about 75 cents or so each. I've been using them for over a year and have had no problems. The music library has been excellent for my needs.
I am surprised that this hasn't happened sooner but I believe it will happen. I wonder what sort of culture shock we will have when our home telephones are rendered useless because they ring non-stop? I am getting just over 400 email spam a day so 100 to 150 phone calls a day (especially at a cost of only a penny or so each according to the article) seems believable. While spam filtering rids me of all but two or three email spam a day in my inbox, is there a technology that will do the same for my home phone. God, this sure will be interesting (and yes, I understand I have employed a bit of hyperbole).
They are throwing tea into the harbor to make a point is another way of looking at it. Perhaps it can be seen as civil disobedience (though certainly not in all cases). Such acts in our past ultimately paved the way for solutions that made a great deal more sense than that which was in place.
The record labels will figure this out eventually and we will get to five or ten cent songs. However, I don't see them figuring it out in one 90+ cent leap. I think they will bungle their way through a series of successive approximations and end up with something similar to allofmp3.com where songs are in that neighborhood. I do agree that at very low prices the volume may well indeed provide the labels and the artists what they need (but maybe not what they want?)
I tell anybody who will listen - If you want to log in to your bank, then go to your banks URL yourself, manually, without the aid of a click-thru in an email or another website. Type in yourself. I doubt I am redundant enough but I try. We should be able to get to the point that nobody would ever click on an URL in an email to get to their bank or anything else on the web that has some connection to their money or wealth or whatever.
It you just opened your own cottage industry style consulting business out of your home, something like this could make you look like a bigger business. I could see the advantage to that. The features of the system would be handy too for a new and very small business.
I've been using ATMs since they were first available and I use them quite a bit. I have never had a single penny lost. I've not known anyone to lose a penny. I'm sure it has happened, but I bet the incidence is low.
More specifically, Congress created the FCC in 1934 (from the Radio Act of 1927) and the FCC derives whatever authority it has from congress. The FCC has been known to, at least according to some in congress, overstep their authority. You won't find every agency in the Constitution but you will find the means to create an agency and bestow authority upon that agency.

I also like that I can type weather frederick md and get my weather or define:pragmatic and get a definition.

Spam is like porn: hard to define but you know what it when you see it. That can be hard to program I would think. But, who knows.

That's great for loose sheets but what about scanning bound books? Aren't you then back to scanning a page, flip a page, scan a page, etc.?
Is it really immune? I don't know enough about the subject to understand the paper but that struck me as a bold statement

How surprised can anyone be if full version bootleg copies of XP are sold in the malls for $5 versus $32 for a legal, though crippled version.

Reflexive thinking like that is unimpressive and diminishes you greatly. Add something to the debate. Your shrill declaration is noise.

I don't think it's "pod" as in "ipod" but more like a peapod - something encapsulated. That said, it is still a webcast by a different name.
