'We would particularly advise parents to check what their children are doing on the internet and make sure that they are not breaking the law by
filesharing illegally,' said Geoff Taylor, BPI General Counsel.
Did anyone else get the feeling that this guy is saying that filesharing is illegal? It would be different if he had said,
'We would particularly advise parents to check what their children are doing on the internet and make sure that they are not breaking the law by
sharing copyrighted content illegally.'

I mean, really, I don't want to pay what I consider outrageous prices for crap. I'm not downloading anything either. If you want some good music, go down to your local coffee house and listen to a good live band and buy their CD if you like their music. For the price of a coffee, I can listen to a small live concert for several hours while I do homework.
You mean you can try before you buy? Amazing! The CD's I get from the local artists (and other independent artists that come through my area on tour) are much cheaper than the record-label CD's and the quality of music is sooo worth it.
While the ethics of downloading the label's music is disputed, one thing I think we can all agree on is that the labels would have no ammo if people would just boycott them instead of refusing to purchase their crap and downloading music. Boycotts do work. And boycotts 'steal' nothing from the artists.
I know exactly how you feel. I feel the same way. I honestly couldn't care less whether he succeeded or not. OTOH, the deal with his fuel is interesting and I'm waiting to see what they say about it.
Can anyone point me in the direction for setting up a similar system? I've got a Linux box, but that's all I've got. What would you guys recommend for a basic camera system that I can set up in a similar manner as this dude did?
Thanks.

Scientists at the University of Zurich predict that our galaxy is filled with a quadrillion clouds of boobies with the mass of the Earth and size of the solar system.
I like this solar system.
It depends on the mass of the star. Below the Chandrasekhar Limit, a star will collapse into a White Dwarf.
Next up is the Neutron Star, then the Quark Star and finally the Black Hole. Becoming a black hole requires a lot of mass, though if I remember right, there is an upper limit on the mass of a star to become a black hole.
If some clock is held to be the standard, how can they say that its off by so many seconds every so many thousand years? By what standard is the standard held to?
How close does the epicenter of the earthquake have to be to the predicted location in order for it to be considered a prediction? 5 mile? 50 miles? 100 miles?
My parents are the same way. For a while, they would ask me to clean off the spyware/malware from their computers, but they would never listen to any advice I gave them, as though it didn't apply to them.
So I decided to use tough love. I gave them a sheet of things 'to do' and 'not to do' and said that if they followed my guidelines, I would help them with their computer problems. They ignored my sheet for a while, but when I told them 'no. I gave you some guidelines to follow, and you ignored them. I will not help until you follow them'.
They now follow the guidelines I set out, and now I hardly ever have go over and fix it.
Use tough love. There are consequences for ignoring guidelines. Let them know that.
Condoleeza Rice appeared on a lot of Sunday shows today (I saw the CNN one) claiming that back when she claimed that the tubes could "only really be used for nuclear weapons", she knew of the debate but thought it was a marginalized dissent and that the overwhelming consensus in the intelligence community was that these tubes were to be used for nukes.
She thought? Maybe I'm just being silly here, but if I thought that I was supposed to do my C++ homework in BASIC, everyone around me would just consider me incompetant. Since when can an important political figure just think something, be totally wrong, make an important world-involving decision, and NOT be considered incompetant?
My grandmother is like this. She listens to Rush Limbaugh (sp?) religiously, and has tried to convince me on more than one occasion that Rush isn't Republican propaganda, and neither is Fox News; those sources are balanced, she says; everything else is liberal.
I talked to her about the Guantanimo prisoners one time, but her faith in Bush is so resolute, she is completely unwilling to consider the idea that at least one of the prisoners is innocent of the charges that are yet to be brought against him. In short, she says, if Bush says the prisoner is guilty, he is guilty. Extending the idea to me being thrown in Guantanimo, she says I wouldn't be because she knows I'm innocent.
How can I deal with this? I'm still dependent upon my parents for support, and I'm getting books in the mail from my grandmother about Liberal lies and treason and such.
When did it get to the point that people just started believing everything a party member said? Seriously, when?

I hope it's as good as the previews indicate it is!

The iPod mini now uses a zero-point generator. Duh.

Why should I care? Does this affect me somehow? OK, a CEO of a big computer company stepped down. Big friggin whoop.

Is it Bush's fault if I dress up as Bush and rob a bank? I just want to idolize my hero.
