"Many iPod owners have never bought anything from the iTunes Store. Some have bought hundreds of songs. Some have bought thousands"
Sounds like common sense to me. As an iPod owner, I've never bought anything from iTunes. I personally believe that others have probably bought hundreds or thousands of songs. So what's the problem?
And no, I can't be bothered to RTFA. DVD Jon should do what he does best, crack DRM.
Just out of curiosity, doesn't most of Europe have free, or at least government subsidised, health care? I spend around $200USD per month for myself and my wife for health insurance. That's whether I use it or not. If I do use it, I have a $15 copayment right off the top (which is pretty cheap). Then the insurance only pays about 80% of the remainder. It usually costs me around $50-$100 every time I have to go to the doctor or dentist for anything. Prescriptions are mostly covered by insurance (I only have to pay $20 for a 30-day supply). The United States may have cheaper gas, but our health care system is abysmal. I don't know exactly what European countries have available for health care. Please feel free to enlighten me.
According to the article, the chips will be rewritable. So instead of just stealing your credit card/door key/passport information, someone will be able to erase it so that yours doesn't work anymore or worse. Imagine the 'splainin you'll have when your passport comes up with the name "O. Bin Ladin"?
All software projects of any size will have some bugs. Anyone who claims otherwise has obviously never worked on any projects bigger than "hello world". You're suggesting that any imperfect software should entitle the user to a free copy of the new version, which itself will be imperfect, entitling the user to a free copy...
I'm not suggesting that Win98 is perfect, but apparently it's been good enough for these people to use for the better part of the last decade.
I noticed that one of the requested items was ALL of the URLs in Google's index and two month's worth of queries. No matter how this information is transferred (digital media, dead trees, FTP) it's going to be a lot of info and expensive. Is there any way for a company to reimburse these costs from the government?

What could possibly go wrong with this?
...Or IBM.
You must be new here.
I think you responded to the wrong story, but you're amazingly on topic anyway.
...Go ahead and break the law. We'll let you off if you promise not to do it again.
I hope they at least made them pinky-swear.
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right?
That's right, all American football players travel the field in wheelchairs.
Great. That's like saying now you can eat your lobster with a fork made of frozen shit.

Sounds like the Lycos servers wolfed them down.
I have been a victim of Ebay fraud, complained and heard nothing back. I sucks, but I now expect that from both ebay and paypal.
Enough said.
...wasn't he an illustrator for MAD Magazine?
That doesn't sound like much fun.
Um, Sirius isn't on there, buttwipe.
...then what I want to know is who's going to go back and summarize 200 years worth of newspaper articles?

If you feel like a lark, give RTFA a try. There's actually a picture there.

The report was just released, how long ago did the crash occur? Also, think we could use this technique to get the ISS back into a higher orbit?
Get a pirated version and you don't need a new video card.
"The truth" is subjective.
Plot to take over the world.
Blockbuster should charge $.01 per year late fees. No longer the same as the patent.
