The difference (IMHO) between the Jenny song example and this one is that the Jenny song doens't list an area code. It'd be the equivalent of a book title, "www.katie." and having the user guess the domain.
Nobody said it wasn't theft -- the poster said that it's not robbery. Stealing doesn't hurt people physically, only financially. Robbery is a physical thing.
Per m-w.com: robbery: larceny from the person or presence of another by violence or threat
stealing: to come or go secretly, unobtrusively, gradually, or unexpectedly
I would assume that if the RIAA did host their own files that it would be considered entrapment. At least I know I've read cases where the police have left unlocked cars out, waiting for people to steal them, and it's been thrown out for that reason. Then again, is there such a thing as entrapment in a civil suit?
I use my PDA all the time. I use CryptoPad to keep track of all of the root passwords on my company's UNIX boxes (as well as my passwords for both work and home). I don't want bluetooth, cell phone, etc, as that'd make it easier for Bad Guys (tm) to get the file without me knowing.
I use it to take notes at work all the time. I could use paper, but I can't search on paper and paper gets lost. A laptop is way too large to bring from meeting to meeting.
I use it on planes to read the paper or play some games. When you're sitting in the middle seat, there's not really enough room to use a laptop without crowding people on both sides of you. The Palm works great for that.
I use it to play games before a play or movie. Getting in a few games of backgammon or Mille Borne is quick and easy on the Palm. Good luck booting up a PC to play a couple quick games.
And doctor's running various programs on the Palm doesn't make it a "medical specific device." It's just another use of a PDA.

I don't know why standalone TiVos aren't available. However, I know that DirecTV isn't available in Canada due to Canadian laws. I don't have the specifics, but it has to do with the fact that a certain percentage of programming needs to originate from Canadians. It's a stupid law that's supposed to help protect Canadians somehow. Learned this from someone I know who used to live there.

According to IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0383588/
Sam and Al will both star in it, but that's all the info they have.
Hopefully it'll be good.
Another poster mentioned these three addresses and suggested modifying /etc/hosts (or lmhosts):
127.0.0.1 ofx-prod-brand.intuit.com,
127.0.0.1 ofx-prod-fiusage.intuit.com
127.0.0.1 ofx-prod-cuusage.intuit.com
Can't vouch on whether it works or not, but if so, that'd be great news.

FWIW.
