A phone as simple as the iPod. Sure, as it is now, I can change the text color by 3 shades of green and TRY to organize my address book with some sort of order. But when it comes down to it, I just want it to work. ONE set of buttons for the menu, please. I'd rather not have to guess which of the three "left" buttons I need to use to do foo operation.
Oh, and the brushed finish on the new nano is nice. Not as fingerprinty as those shiny plastic phones./rant
However, the word "counterfeit" was not defined in an age with computers and software that could be EXACTLY copied. A counterfeit Picasso is different, content-wise, from a real one. A "counterfeit" copy of Windows XP has the same content and MD5 hash as a "real" one.
I've tried it with TorPark recently, and the speed was OK. It wasn't the usual cable line get-it-to-me-instantly speed, but was much better than 56k. File downloads were in the 70-150KBps range, but as always, YMMV.
There are a LOT of media companies that put out a LOT of music and videos that are played on a LOT of Windows computers that they want to keep an eye on.
"It's like a school with an overzealous principal holding fire drills about once a week. When there was a real fire finally, a lot of people died thinking it was another stupid drill and didn't bother to get out in time."
However, most school fire drills don't incorporate smoke machines. Smoke is the sign of fire, as a beeping alarm is (supposedly) the sign of theft.
Perhaps it's more like someone observing war games and assuming that the country is under attack. It REALLY looks like the real thing, and could convince the average bystander to go tell everyone, but it's not real.
"Would there have been an internet without gov help ?" I would bet that an infinite number of universities with an infinite number of researchers doing an infinite number of networking experiments (with an infinite number of generous alumni) could create something similar to the modern Internet.
It looks like a giant..... matrix! As I understand from the company's website: Driver drives car onto a car-sized platform. Platform moves car into parking grid. Basically a set of elevators and conveyor belts. I would suppose that the license is for the software that controls the system.
It looks neat. You can save a lot of space by not requiring room for drivers to be able to avoid other cars, since the system moves them along into place. Downside: power outages, mechanical failure, or the odd licensing dispute over the software.

They're too busy chatting with Mark Foley.
It becomes so old it's considered "retro," I suppose.
"Plenty of people would disagree there."
Terrorists, for example.
(Sorry, I've been getting all my news from Colbert and Stewart lately.)
And if 50 people, I say 50 people a day come in recyclin' monitors, they might think it's a movement!
And most of them would be too young to know what a movement is...
And as long as it pokes at America and not France, it will not get modded flamebait.

If there was ever a trolling story, this is it. NPOV anyone?
How many strains/simplexes of herpes are there compared to HIV?
Sure you can drive a Beetle over it, but so you know the bandwidth of a Beetle full of thumbdrives on the highway?
It's obvious. 10 years from now, everyone will have neural implants for playing games and activating blast doors on starships.
We'll also have mass-produced flying cars.
Don't forget good old Teddy Kaczynski!
Lesson: um... type your letters instead of writing?

You can tell color just by text?
Maybe the bridge will be named after your post:

With price gouging, eminent domain, etc. already in place, what exactly would be the difference?
Astronauts? I don't think this mission is putting people on Mars. Heck, we haven't even put anyone on the Moon for real yet!
