The problem is not their having the archive but their redistributing it to anyone who asks. Keep your temporary internet files, but if you set up apache to serve from their folder you may well be violating the websites' copyright. Seems fair enough to me.
Use a plip cable, or slip for really old machines. There are parallel ports on just about anything, thank god, though people are talking about getting rid of them. You can have mine when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
Not all linux boot disks do that, modern ones tend to use whole disk, anything that uses grub or isolinux will. Even knoppix (one of the last holdouts with the floppy image) now uses no emulation boot. There's also a third, rarely used way for cdroms to boot, via hard disk emulation.
And what if you can't boot your cd? Don't laugh, it's happened to me too many times. CD-RWs never boot on this system, and nor do dvds without a bit of a nudge.
Exactly. The reason they were able to succeed is that they were willing to accept that people would die. Whether that's better or worse than not going to the moon, I don't know.
The ISS is in orbit too. All you need to do is get the heavy lift rocket to put it in the same orbit as the ISS, at approximately the same place. I'm pretty sure a Delta IV Heavy has the same kind of lift capability (and energia blows both out of the water if the russians ever scrape together enough cash to launch it again. Sigh)
Just a minor complaint, I don't think the winamp thing is about slickness so much as space, and also themability. If you've tried to make a player with as small a footprint (which is important, because they want people having it open while they're using other programs) as winamp using native widgets, on any platform, you'll find it's impossible. And I've never seen anything as easily skinnable (there are web pages that will make a skin in one click given a picture) as winamp.
They've put a robots.txt saying not to crawl it. That may be stupid and drive customers away, but it's their right. At that point you should not cache their content.

Borrowing from someone further down the thread, the court found that martin luther king's estate had the copyright to his i have a dream speech, and was entitled to stop others reproducing it, despite it having been made in public before a huge crowd.
No. They didn't sell their web page, nor did they broadcast it, so it is not like a newspaper which had been legally purchased, or television which had been broadcast. It's on public view, yes, but that doesn't necessarily imply you can keep a copy of it. Imagine a rich person with an expensive painting puts it up in his gallery. You take a picture of it while it's in the gallery - there is nothing saying you can, but nothing saying you can't reproduce them. Now he dies and his son inherits, or he has a change of heart, and locks it away in his private room. This having happened, do you have the right to display your photo of the picture in public?
Earth-Sun L3 is pretty cool. It's the perfect place for seti-type stuff at the moment, since the sun blocks out most of the stuff coming from earth, and it's just as good for transfers as any of the other points (better than the L1 and L2 in fact, since it's more stable.). Might not be much use to/from earth, but how about going from mars to venus?
Welcome to the USA, land of the a-little-bit-freer-than-north-koreans. Seriously, if the best you can say about the US is that it's better than North Korea then it's a pretty bad place.
They are very valuable simply because there are low-fuel trajectories to pretty much anywhere from them. However, you don't have to stay there very long. If enough nations are out there, no-one will be able to hold them, and when hostilities break out it will be a gauntlet-running type thing. However, the US might have enough power to seize them, and if it does, it would be a good idea to do so.
The complaint is that the government (technically not the government, but the effect is the same) is doing this for "free" from taxpayers' money, which puts them out of business. Like how cafés would complain about governments giving out free food, even if they'd purchased the food legitimately.

I don't, I just keep myself logged in. Not sure how you can deal with things like that. Complain to cowboyneal, not that he cares.
It's not just saying it was there though, they're reproducing and redistributing a full copy of the webpage.
Looks like their webserver is running from a wind turbine!

And debian sarge. Oh, wait. Dammit!
Links already has javascript support. This reader will be very annoyed if the checkboxes are all broken in links.

No, but they could sue someone for publishing copies of the newspaper, which is a closer analogy to what the internet archive is doing.
No, but if you publish contents of said folder I'd have no problem with them suing you. Information put on the web is still copyrighted.

Tough one, imo.
Such computers often don't have floppies either.
I'm more surprised by the combination of .NET and Java. Did a PHB tell them to get as many buzzword technologies in there as possible?

Mod this redundant FFS. It's not clever, it's not interesting, no-one cares. Go home.
