Well, the inherit problem with this is that you are forced to be untracable and/or anonymous.
What if I don't want to blog anonymously? Perhaps I'm an attention whore looking to get on MSNBC with another San Francisco blowhard, Chris Matthews, but now I'm forced to choose between proactively regulating my speech as a real citizen or obfuscating my true identity.
This just isn't right.
The intent of the law isn't too odious, ie: let's make sure that there is no shilling disguised as "news" on the behalf of any one candidate, but if we're going to take that step we're going to need to apply it to all forms of speech as well -- including print and broadcast.
This whole Monster Cable debate reminds me of a time several years ago when I was a retail flack at CompUSA. While doing our weekly repricing, I had accidently miskeyed a SKU and ended up changing the price for a slow-selling, lower-quality (by brand) CD-ROM drive upwards by about $40 in the stores inventory system.
When we discovered the error later in the week, we also noticed that the sales of this re-priced drive had increased as well; in fact, they were the top seller in the category.
Needless to say, we didn't change it back.

Market demand begs to differ with you. If they were overpriced, they wouldn't be selling 5.3 million units in a single quarter.
Uh, Aliens didn't have Winona, Aliens Resurrection had Winona. ...and anyway, she's hot.
Which reminds me, if your really want Mac OS, then just get the real thing.

It still takes this machine 3 minutes to boot into Windows XP.
I think the file in question was on the installation CD. No knowing if it was actually copied to the HD, my guess is no.
