Or, although it would be really expensive, have the entire front of the unit comprise a touch-sensitive OLED. When switched off, the unit has simply a white front. But when switched on, the entire front panel becomes a variable-sized display, adapting to the dimensions of the media?
Not necessarily.
It could be linked to an EXE or PIF, which a naïve user would open.
If the target ignores all browsers' warnings about harmful EXEs, in combination with Windows's hiding of file extensions...
(somefile).jpg.exe
is something I've seen many times.
By the way: Does IE prompt that PIF/BAT files are potentially dangerous when downloading? How about VB scripts?

Dang, I guess he really meant the last three lines!!
Why not outlaw camcorders as well? Although there's a negligible loss of quality, they can effectively convert analogue signals eminating from my monitor into a slightly imperfect digital replica...
For that matter, why not outlaw the human eye and its corresponding visual cortex? How about the limbic system of the brain, so that we can't store memorable images from movies?
Seriously though, I think a far more effective way to restrict the capture of analogue signals is to implement a protection scheme WITHIN the capturing device's circuitry. If a certain waveform (yes, a fuzzy match would be allowed) is present in the signal, the capture device refuses to run. All capture card makers would have to abide to this rule or face sanctions.
Ad-blocking components of browsers should be able to easily filter these out, as the ads will definitely reside on a separate server. This is not the case with embedded textual advertising, which are actually embedded within the HTML document.
I know I won't be seeing these. In fact, I haven't seen a single graphical Internet ad for months.
This issue is akin to the stealing of Flash animations, or for that matter, any media. Whenever I create an animation, for example, I include an FBI-style warning preceeding the clip stating where it came from, and that its appearance on another site indicates it is stolen. It should be relatively easy for a podcaster to announce at regular intervals the origin of the podcast, and perhaps a short disclaimer about modifying the podcast.
I wonder if touchscreens such as this could function on ADC (Apple Display Connection), which integrates both DVI-I and USB into one plug... That way, a separate serial/USB cable for transmitting HID data wouldn't be necessary.
...one works for a dot com, and the other is a computer science teacher? They both (presumably) lack the knowledge to reformat?
They should be fired from their posts instantly!

Transparent Alumina would do the trick.
Yeah, so you can see the buffers through the large heatsink.
No, covered HDDs would be Schrodinger HDDs. The whole purpose of Schrodinger's paradox was its ambiguity. "Anti-Schrodinger," perhaps...

Bill Gates does not own an iPod. That's odd... Number 101: Steve Jobs does not run Windows!
But then again, you click the "Start Button" to shut down in Windows :)
You're correct! In case you missed the above comment, http://sc.com/~dbaker/dmca.html X-Files, seasons 1-7 in 113kb :)
Sorry, but a quart of whiskey would give you acute alcohol posioning. I don't believe that.
Your wish was granted...
Wow...
Definitive proof that the building blocks of life were purposefully placed here by a space alien :-)
That should be:

In other news, usage of Port 79 (finger port) went up 200% among Linux users following IBM's announcement :)

So that's how those neat photographs of the Avian Flu virus were taken!
