I stopped reading there.
WHY? Just because something is illegal (this means, that some guys voted a law against it - not more, not less, period) doesn't mean that it will automatically hurt the sales of the record companies. Yes, downloading songs is illegal. But so is protesting against president Chavez if you live in Venezuela. The moral and ethics of music piracy are NOT at discussion at this point. What is at discussion is: a) Whether Marie Lindor actually infringed copyright, and b) whether she made the RIAA lose thousands of dollars in music sales.
Prof. Pouwelse did an empyrical analysis, and this means SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, proving that just because people downloaded a song from the internet, doesn't make the RIAA lose sales from it. This can have a tremendous impact on RIAA's fines, because if you only made them lose 1 cent by downloading a song from the internet, the stratospheric fines they're asking you to pay might only become a small fine of ten bucks.
Ever notice how those that have religion are very weak about their belief in it? It's as if a word spoken against it so threatens them that they must defend it vocally and almost violently.
Sorry, but I don't understand. What does fanatism have to do with the strength or weakness of the dogma itself?
Why not cover an entire wall with this stuff? throw in some nano-speakers for the ultimate home entertainment center.
Maybe offtopic, but that sounded SO SIMILAR to Farenheit 451... remember when Montag's wife asked him to put a new television in the last wall of their bedroom? *shudder*
I could classify you as a "lawful good" person who always abide by the law but unfortunately doesn't see beyond "lawful / unlawful".
The RIAA and MPAA have become somewhat an evil empire where they only care about money. They rip off the artists they hire because they're a monopoly. If an artist doesn't want to sell his soul to the RIAA and produce / sell his own music, he'll be forgotten into oblivion.
Why? Because he gets no publicity, no tours, no airtime on the radio, no nothing. Simply because he didn't want to accept to get only 0.2 cents per CD sold.
It's something called the Status quo. Regarding myself, I am against the RIAA for various reasons:
1) They're the devil incarnate for their monopolic practices 2) They don't let us record our music CD's into MP3 3) They have pushed the congress to make anything that helps 2) Illegal 4) They abuse their economic power to force OTHER COUNTRIES to adopt their twisted view of the law 5) They don't give a **** about our property when they install rootkits in our computers 6) HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT THEY'RE SUING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EACH?
In my personal opinion, anyone who buys RIAA-sponsored CD's is doing evil. I would rip a CD of my favorite group and deposit 1 dollar to the artists, which is much more than they get from the RIAA per disk. But guess what, that's why there are LEGAL DOWNLOAD SERVICES. Unfortunately, the revenues of these also go to the RIAA and not to the groups directly.
A big possibility. Remember the time when we used this black solid thing called COAL? It's just the way science and technology goes. We're hitting a new industrial revolution where the key technology is nanotech.
Just as the discovery of the transistor made a revolution in electronics, the discovery of methods to create and handle nanomaterials is preparing us to make better tools, leading to more methods, materials, and so on.
The problem right now, is not that we can find cheap energy - but that we WASTE TOO MUCH of it. For example, the internal combustion engine wastes a lot of energy as heat; Many countries in the world still use incandescent bulbs because the energy-saving ones are too expensive; TV's still use Cathode Ray Tubes (unless you can afford a plasma one); and what to say about computers? Too much electricity is wasted as heat because of the way transistors work.
Nanotechnology aims to change all that. Against CRT TV's there are Field Emission displays (with nanotubes as electron emitters); against incandescent bulbs we have extra-bright LED's (with quantum dots as their key ingredient for light generation); against silicon in solar cells, we find tetrapod quantum dots; against internal combustion engines we are seeing fuel cells; Against silicon transistors we see quantum dots, nanotubes, graphene transistors, nanofibers, and what not.
These technologies are currently very expensive and aren't even in diapers yet; We need still a lot of discoveries that will make these technologies economically viable. What excites me about revolutionary discoveries is that they DON'T depend on time. They're discovered almost by accident, like peniciline. It could happen in any time, but in the meanwhile we have to depend on the slow and steady advance of science and technology research.
So if you want to help this become a greener earth, please support science and technology funding in your country.

and maybe violent video games let them vent their frustration in a virtual world instead of going out in the the real word and venting it.
And teaching the kids it's ok to vent their frustrations like immature children instead of dealing with them in a constructive way. What will happen in a situation where they DON'T have a videogame available to "vent out" their frustrations?
I've talked with some people in a couple of colleges in Mexico city. Here in Mexico filesharing isn't prosecuted as much as it is in the US - and yet I've seen bans in filesharing. Reason? Bandwidth. In one particular college, P2P activity covered around 99% of network activity, and webbrowsing became as slow as molasses until filesharing applications (napster at that time) were prohibited.
Why not limit the number of websites? Too much choice!
In other words, you're saying that 99% of people visit too few sites like myspace, while the other 1% of us stays in a wide variety of sites like... slashdot.
could the target machines be completely immunized after the next reboot?
You're forgetting one thing. SouthKorean machines with devils-own XP (no SP) which CANNOT be secured until they install SP2. I wonder how the botnets will do this, and if they do, I'd like to watch:)
One armed student could have ended this right at the beginning.
Well, one armed man just killed 20 people. The solution isn't to have MORE guns, but to have LESS. Instead, have MORE SECURITY at these buildings. Weapon detectors, security officers, i.e. people KNOWN to be safe with guns.

After crying a lot... she yelled: "TUPID CHAIR!" and kicked the chair.
Somehow by reading the article summary this scene came to my mind.

Article title is wrong. Someone fix that please.
I am all for having some story to games. It's generally a plus.
some? For me, if a game doesn't have a good story, it's not worth buying. Story is what made the Final Fantasy series so popular.
My 2 cents.
