Uhhh, buddy, the Constitution only prohibits _the government_ from interfering with speech. If you're on someone else's property, they can tell you to shut up any time they want. This is why your mom can tell you to not play your Godsmack so loudly and yell at you for talking back and wasting your youth in the basement.
Geez, I thought/.'s were supposed to be relatively well educated. I'm surprised you haven't heard of John Ashcroft's plans to limit the first amendment even further.
What is up with number 20? Every math guy should know that finitely many terms of a sequence don't determine it uniquely. In short, that's a psychological question, not a mathematical one.

In addition, while this lawyer argues his case, the Jury sits around restless. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even the court recorder is straining to keep awake as I type this.
Shouldn't you be listening instead of surfing/. ?
For instance, if you need fine-grained control over your HTTP user-agent header, Safari won't let you change that but you can just install Firefox or Mozilla.
Try downloading TinkerTools from http://www.bresink.com/osx/. Apple included a bunch of debugging options in their software and just got rid of the menu items leading to them. TinkerTools lets you re-activate those doodles. In particular, it lets you use the "Debug" menu in Safari, which lets you choose your user-agent header.
I'm also not too fond of paying for (what in essence are) Service Packs. (You listening Apple? Don't charge an arm and a leg for 10.4!!)
They're not exactly service packs. Tiger is apparently going to ship with major kernel enhancements and is definitely shipping with a bunch of UI features. The 10.3.x releases correspond more closely to Service Packs, since their purpose to to fix bugs and close security gaps.
Anyway, there's always bit torrent.
Perhaps. Frankly, I don't see why NASA would make such a big deal out of a minor intrusion like this unless it was obviously malicious. NASA rarely handles classified aerospace projects anymore (and wouldn't be networking a machine with access to classified information) and in fact rents out time on their supercomputers. Considering the cost of storage -- even then -- stealing a few gigabytes amounts to petty shoplifting.
The article mentioned that NASA technicians had to spend several restoring the system from backup. What did this kid do? He's either lying about his intentions -- he really wanted to cause damage -- or was just incompetent. Secretly keeping a few gigabytes on a big machine really isn't so hard.

Only if I had a vasectomy too.
But in that case the file wouldn't have been obtained legally, since the DMCA prohibits modifying the DRM by non-copyright holders.
Jews for Slashdot, obviously.
Good work evaluating the article's merits. You've done a brilliant job undermining its points.
Amiga is still manufacturing computers.

UNIX has existed for decades longer than the GPL.
