Yes, it is their site, and they can censor as they wish. They could impose draconian laws if they wanted. However, that is unlikely as it would drive away people from their site. The kind of censorship of the kind described by this photographer is stepping outside of a rational bounds, not necessarily a legal one.
Had the students been taught to fight back. Since they were not told it was a drill, it could have been quite a sight with 60 little ninjas armed with pens, rulers and flying calculators. Not a pretty sight to say the least...

[support]: Hello dearie {chewing gum sound} my name is Regina, {chewing gum sound} how may I help you?
[lonely geek]: Hello? Are you human?
[support]: Yes dearie, I am human...
[lonely geek]: Oh good, I'm speaking with a real techie girl! My LoverBot v6.2 beta just crashed in the middle of some awesome robolovin', and I can't get her rebooted. Can you help me?
[support]: {chewing gum sound} Have you tried plugging her in, givin' her some juice?
[lonely geek]: Oh yes, Lots!! but, for some reason she doesn't respond? Whats's going on???
[support]:....I mean of the electricity kind...
[lonely geek]: oh yes, that too. But she won't start up!
[support]: haven't you tried readin' the manual?
[lonely geek]: You mean that damn phone book sized thing that came in the box?...no...
[support]: Well, once you git 'round to readin' it', {chewing gum sound} give us a call, willya? Thanks... [CLICK, dead air...]
[lonely geek]: Noo!! Don't hang up on me, I only want to be carressed... that is all! Sigh, where's that manual?
And a radio station that accepts requests didn't have to go through the same legal wrangling to be labeled a "broadcaster". While I know these legal questions have to be ironed out sooner or later, It is interesting to see the distinction in how Sony BMG, et al. see internet radio vs ol' style music radio.
would welcome a Google takeover of Doubleclick if it ment a radical change to its underhanded spyware tactics. If Google can reform this company into something less invasive, I really would welcome that.
All of us math students with Ti-89/92 partial with the ZX can emulate it right on the calculator. No more waiting to be at home to play our favorite ZX programs. (mind you the screen may be small, but it's still better than nothing!)
good point. I wasn't aware that it had changed during that time. That would explain why he didn't notice the change, as he had read the summary while it was still in the firehose.
Honda has a cool Ultra Capacitor prototype, dubbed the FCX. From what I can tell, this is one of the "bleeding edge" protoypes that are both fast charging and have a fairly large capacity of about 1750W/kg, compared to 900W/kg (according to the above site).
A common refrain we hear from the former and current Geek Squad employees we've been talking to is that Geek Squad used to be awesome. Robert Stephens built up an award-winning company with a reputation for being the best in the business. Then he sold it to Best Buy and they turned it to garbage.
Microsoft macro support in Open office is far from optimal. However, there are a whole slew of Open Office-centric macros to choose from which could meet your needs.
