We should be appreciative that swearing itself is not abused. Eventually we become comfortable with our own linguistically developed swearing patterns which hold a certain significance. (You feel the personal expression best when swearing angrily at someone.) It is equally effective to us as it is to others and when these words are cheapened due to overuse we must dismiss them or risk not being taken seriously.
...you know that girl (now woman..maybe) in the first Jurassic Park, the whole "I know this, this is a Unix shell". Well, considering the time when that movie was released as opposed to now, she might just be the right age. And even if she doesn't fall within the whole "23-43" thing, take it as a sign to expand your lifestyle and 'live a little'. Who knows? You might just be scraping the legal age.
Good luck!
Oh yes, there will be spam..it seems to be here to stay.
Just like every other problem the 'bad guys' face when exploiting the rest of the population, they will find away around this too.
The news will be that if this practice does go into wide usage, spammers will turn toward draining large, anonymous bank accounts to fund their e-mail influxes.
This 'tax' will only create more problems than necessary.
My advice: leave what isn't broken alone and if you do have problems, then I suggest you install a good e-mail filter to pick out the spam that does get through.

'Media companies have often been caught flat-footed when a video or song takes off online. By the time they try to capitalize on it, the opportunity often has passed.'
The reason the media has "taken off online" is because it is easily accessable and quickly 'obtained', not because it is locked into DRM or worse in CD format on a store shelf.

it was just like a scene in an intrigue film
and I'm still not convinced that it wasn't for real
This isn't intended for me, I don't think.
It's a missive from the edge of despair, I mean brink
of total desperation; the communication therein
says her hopes for survival are slim
and she's writing to the Front, though we've yet to meet,
with a confidential matter cause she's heard I'm discreet.
And the urgency of her request for my aid
is matched by the depth of the trust she displayed.
"Don't betray me like our oil minister did, staged a coup
and I'm about to flee Nigeria soon
but I'll never make it out," she says, with twenty million
three hundred twenty thousand US dollars that are still in
her possession. She embezzled them, I guess.
Look, I don't really know her so uh... that's none of my business.
She's the LADY MARYAM ABACHA, deposed.
These days can't even get her caps-lock key unfroze
but yo, something 'bout a widow in distress
(with 20 million dollars hidden in a metal chest)
softened up the Frontalot's heart no doubt
so I hit the reply button, tell her I can help her out.
She writes me back: DEAR FRONTALOT, UNITED STATES...
she acts so thankful. A bank full of money awaits!
And I hate delays so I'm quick to turn around
with my full name and the number to my checking account
and the scan of my license to drive an automobile
and my passport number proving Frontalot's for real!
Then I'll meet the money in Stockholm, ain't gonna walk home,
think I'll retire to the south of Spain and sip gazpacho.
Not so quick, there's a little problem.
LADY A apparently had difficulty running all them
numbers I give her, but look, the fake ID's my only one
and that's a real passport, I got it off usenet and checked,
I'm not dumb. I'm not some idiot
who's about to lose your money for you, quicker than I'm getting it
and of course my bank balance is negative, whose isn't?
That's why I need your 20% money laundering commission.
And I'm wishing I could talk about this further with you but I can't.
I just got an email from DR. UBUGU of Chad.
He's got a hundred and seventy-seven million in a bag.
I feel I got to help him 'cause his story is so sad.
it was just like a scene in an intrigue film
and I'm still not convinced that it wasn't for real
Wouldn't this technology be great for fixing up all those ID3 tags?"
Well, another great way to accomplish this is to just have one piece of information, such as the artists name or song name, or even album and type it into Google. But if you are really desperate, you can just Google the lyrics or a catch phrase in the lyrics. It's simple, really.
So, I guess we're all going to be tought a lesson when the headlines read: DOWNLOADING KILLS MORE THAN JUST SERVERS.
Well, one last thing. I'm guessing poor Opera (the CEO in particular) is wishing the opposite was true: DOWNLOADING COUNT STOPS AT 999,999 AFTER SERVER DIES.
How are you 'personally identified'? You just go to http://google.com/ and type in a search! It's not like they know your name...or anything like that. You, are, anonymous.
Except for your IP address. And even that changes.
All I'm saying is that if you want to take advantage of this nice feature, you have the choice. Google doesn't just 'decide' for you.
Additionally, if you would follow the links and read the article then you would see that it asks to to enter your Gmail password to log into this feature.
If you don't want to do this then you can just shun the idea of of global (Internet) O/S because that's what it's all about, putting your information on the Internet. This is similar to if you were to upload your entire O/S (probably Windows) on the Internet and have it able to be accessed anywhere, anytime.
This of course has it's own set of problems...you can probably guess them.
So, all I'm saying is that if you want the convinence of an "always there" desktop, you have to be able to accept the fact that your are using a service provided by others and that has it's own set of limitations. One's that you may not be able to embrace and consequently be left out of the future.

And in 2012, we will probably have holographic storage..or a micro size. So storage won't relly be a problem.

just take a look at the third result in the Google search. Very scary...just think what her rep is gonna be like now.

Quite the contrary, Microsoft is only gloating about their shares.

Mirror, just in case
Yes!! Now I can find the nearest WiFi hotspot using my laptop while sitting at a Starbucks! Totally makes sense!
She must also be running her website on an antique server, as it is already broken down under the Slashdot pressure.
What else can you add to a cell phone?
Is this a challenge to Slashdot readers? hehe..

Can I have your Gmail account??? =)
Seriously, though. It's not like to have to use this. It's just another nice piece of code that aids the world in "organizing their information".
Would that be 1&1 Web Hosting?
I know it only takes up 10 or 11 pages in my Maximum PC mag every month...

The RIAA presidents last name is 'Shermin'. Now that's what you'd call irony!
