But yes, I was really interested by this point. Maybe they were just trying to distinguish from when in the future cell phones will just read your mind or something?
I have no idea why the mag's are whining. If anything, this is going to help them. Why? Simple.
First, when people do come across some interesting scientific research, chances are they still won't know what the heck it all means. (Unless they are a person in that field) This is the magazines chance to make a bundle, as they can step in and explain everything.
Second, people are lazy. Chances are that, once again, unless they are in the specific field of research, they won't know, or even care about other discoveries. This again is great news for the magazines, because they collect all the research that has been done and then send it out for people to read, allowing people who wouldn't have otherwise known, or even cared about it, to see it.
I really fail to see the problem with making government funded research open-source. I would say, that if anything, this will help magazines because people will be more interested in it, and there will be more developments since any old Joe can use previous research as a base for his/her own research.

Although if you are looking to download movies, there is a great windows program called "share scan" which scans a network for windows shares and creates and index which you can then search and download from.
For a Linux equivelent, try fast file search, which is actually a web server frontside for an index, which is created by a cron job which scans the network for samba shares.

I went over to my friends house and was surprised that I was getting a WiFi signal. I asked my friend, "Dude, when did you get wireless?" He was like "We didn't."
Why is simply posting it illegal?
Have you been living under a rock for the past few years? We don't live in a democratic country anymore - we live in a police state. Let me just say 2 words (that is, assumming I don't get arrested for saying them). Patriot Act.
I'm sure Bush would be happy if he found a way to stick GPS tracking on everyone in the country to make sure they aren't "terrorists". He would also be very happy if he didn't have to deal with the election and we just all started calling him "all surpreme dictator Bush". Of course, Bush will spin this to his advantage, telling us that he has created a safer US because now all the 80 year old grandma terrorists are stopped at airport security, as well as all the Democrats.
If you define "Internet" as two or more computers communicating with each other, then it's been around for longer. Hackers at MIT way back when hooked together 2 computers (PDP-11 and PDP-7 I think) and told some professors they had created a chess program. They had one professor sit in one room at the terminal for one of the computers, and the other professor in the other room with the terminal for the other computer. The professors played each other for a while until one of them realized the responses were a bit slow, then saw/followed the wire into the next room where the other professor was sitting!
Microsoft employs humans to write thier code? I thought they used the tactic of 100 monkeys at 100 terminals for 100 days. Windows sure seems to be the product of that...
I wouldn't suggest that method as it may result in another "Florida chad" issue, requiring several recounts.
I would suggest a 1GB USB key. Expensive as all hell, but small enough to put on a key-ring.

Ah, I see the problem here. Your running all these under Windows where they have root permissions by default. You need to switch to Linux and run them as user "nobody", as that will solve many of the problems you mentioned.
Exactly, a trilogy of trilogies. Heck, Lucas already knows what he's gonna do for them, I donno why he doesn't want to do them. I have a StarWars comic book which is basically the script for one of episodes 7-9 (donno which one, cant find it at the moment). Assumming that the comic book I have is based of what Lucas wants for episodes 7-9, it looks freaking awesome. And by freaking awesome I mean totally cool. Some more proof that the scripts are already written - In the game "Rouge Squadron" they have a level in which you fight the "World Devastators". These "World Devastators" are also in the comic book I have, and look/do exactly the same thing.
Hmm... apparently their SQL server got/.'ed. The error message is fairly humorous (Normal text with error message mixed in):
The project is an organized sampling of the world. There is a confluence within 49 miles (79 km) of you if you're on the surface of Earth. We've discounted confluences in the oceans and some near the poles, but there are still Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in/public/private/confluence/liveinc/inc_library.php on line 258 0 to be found.
Shit, were gonna have a whole bunch of Chevron with Techron cars running (err... driving...) around our streets... As if life wasn't already one huge ad. Chevrons gonna have a field day with this if it becomes reality.
I would run *NIX so I wouldn't be vulnerable. (I wouldn't run stuff as root either, except for the important stuff, like cron, cron would be good because then I wouldn't have to set my [physical] alarm.)

Yes, it may be, but look who we have as a President... ...I'm still waiting for someone to invent a "nuculer" bomb to confuse everyone with.

Can I get those 2 gigs in FTP format instead of email format?
...X-Ray vision and video recording! Then you don't even have to go into the girls locker room!
Ewww.... EULA's...
Kazaa's EULA grants them free access to unused hard drive space and processing power. Just an example of the fun stuff that can be hid in them...
...ya, 2 or 3 gigs shorter - AFTER it's been tar gzipped.
