One report I read quoted the rock thrower saying that the teacher deserved the broken window for all the sh*t he had given the kid while he was at school.
Obviously its easier censor the internet than have teachers treat their pupils with the same respect that they demand.
I'm not sure that is all that sets them off.
I'm 5'3 and skinny, but I always set off the walk thru and often the wand too, with no metal on me
except the zip on my jeans. No implants, plates or pins in me.
Maybe I should eat less vegetables.
When your car wears out, you don't complain that you should have had the right to a backup copy, you go out an buy a new car. Why is music (or movies, or even books for that matter) any different?
The reason music is different is that you don't own it, you licence it. It's more like having a company car on a lease - if it breaks down, you get a replacement free of charge.
Not directly, but their deaths can frighten the rest of the population into demanding that the UK, e.g., pull out of Iraq, so that the attacks will stop.
Most of the population of the UK not only want to pull out of Iraq, but never wanted to go there in the first place. More so since we found out that WMD stuff was all lies.
Terrorists never seem to learn that blowing innocent people up is not the best way of getting people to see that your cause is just and fair. In fact, quite the opposite.
And as the violence and disruption divides east and west more and more, the terrorists point and say "See, we said you were all against us".
4. Do not, under any circumstances, use StarForce or any other draconian malware copy protection that is going to totally piss off your paying customers and treat them like the the pirates that you are desperately trying to avoid.
I would venture that PC game copyright violation (I don't like "piracy") occurs 100 times more often than console game copyright violation; especially if we're only looking at current generation games.
Not to long ago I would have agreed with this, but have a quick look round the torrent sites now. Console games seriously outnumber PC games.
Just guessing, but the fact that a new PC game can be bought online for about £26 vs £40+ for a new console game, and you can see why people are willing to go to the trouble of chipping their consoles.
The British government is currently pushing for ID cards, citing the London bombings and prevention of terrorism and organised crime.
However, all of the bomber would have been eligible for an ID card as they were all British citizens.
Service reservoirs vary in size from a few thousand litres (for small communities), upto several million litres (for part of a city).
The chemicals in the water are small ammounts of corrosion inhibitor to protect the pipes, and chlorine (or chloramine) to kill bacteria.
However, the chlorine is added in carefully controlled ammounts, so that it will have pretty much all have escaped from the water by the time it comes out of your tap (for taste reasons). The residual chlorine certainly wouldn't be be able to prevent a large dose of anthrax from making a lot of people very ill.
And as for surreptitious introduction, forget it. A lot of these reservoirs are in out of the way places, and the ones in populated areas are underground. I very much doubt if anyone would notice someone driving a tanker up to one and dumping a load of weedkiller into it.
I work for a water company, and while we will release information on pipe layouts for a small covering fee (ie. if someone wants to put a pond in their garden without hitting a pipe) some info is classed as a security risk.
The info that doesn't get released is the location of service resevoirs. These are where water is stored after it has been treated, but before it goes out to the supply network.
Putting something nasty into one of these could easily poison 100,000 people at once, and the poison would be delivered straight out of the tap.
Very efficient and hard to stop once its in the network.
Can someone clarify for me exactly how broad this bill is.
To me, it reads than anything that could be used to breach copright in any way is illegal.
This doesn't just mean CD, DVD, MP3 etc. but also covers anything used to transmit the data.
So, MS (file & print sharing), Cisco (routers, switches), ISPs (net access), telecoms companies and for all I know the people who make the copper wires that connect your house, ar all open to a lawsuit for incitement.
Warm up your lawyers, they are going to be busy.

I couldn't agree more.

It's time to call Chuck Norris!
Does your music refuse to play?
But it's still better than Big Brother.

But if its strong and gets cracked, is it automaticaly considered weak and under DMCA ?
Of course not. They only make them for sharks.
Anyone know where I can buy some Adamantium?
get the latest britney spears song when it's really just static
I thought they were sounding better than usual...
I give up...

Yeah, but as the saying goes
"...Let the Wookie win"
How can those that proclaim to be actinging for good claim any high ground or moral standards when what they are doing damages users computers?
Actually, that isn't a bad idea. If you aren't getting anywhere by complaining, just forward all your spam to your representative.
Let them know exactly how annoying it is to wade through this crap every day, then something may get done about it.
The reason the system failed was that the builders of boisphere 2 forgot that concrete takes years to cure, and eats oxygen in the process.
Apart from this slight miscalculation AFAIK it worked pretty well.
