"Nothing stops the student from just doodling on their paper either."
Oh so true...
I spent a lot of time in some of my physics lectures last year doodling, and eventually it got to the point where two classmates and myself had developed a symbol code and could decipher it quite rapidly. Roughly every other sheet of paper I used in these lectures had "BORED" written on it somewhere.
I'll point out here that as the lecture content got harder, the individual lecturers got steadily worse at speaking english. I could barely work out two words in every three of what the eastern european Quantum Physics lecturer was talking about, nor could I read the notes he made available, which were handwritten notes scanned to a pdf file. If I had been able to, I'd not have needed to even attend the lectures - ALL he did was read out these notes (from the small parts I did decipher) and copy them onto the board.
I feel justified in blaming only part of my terrible physics grade that year on myself. I no longer take physics courses.

See, some of us can do this without the use of a laptop.
(Cue someone pointing that this is slashdot...)...OK, OK, I speak for myself only then. (Of course, whispering with someone at the back of a smaller lecture theatre can get glares.)
Since I'm technically registered in two locations (though naturally I can only vote once in a given election) I've written to both the MP for where I live at uni and the MP from back home, with similar text to yours. One of the two is a long-standing Member and a well-respected Deputy Speaker, who's known for listening to his constituents, so I'll hopefully get a response.
I suggest everyone reading this writes to their own MP, though I recommend NOT using identical text.
Adblock itself has had, and still does have, memory leak problems. The original maintainer shows no inclination to deal with them. It's generally recommended to use Adblock Plus, which has fixed most of these problems and also has useful new features, such as whitelisting. The maintainer of Adblock Plus has also shown strong interest in debugging and fixing any problems, including memory leaks.
There's a few problems that can cause leaks in FF itself which have been fixed in the main trunk. Almost all of those fixes are supposed to be included in 2.0.
In that case, what permits companies to take BSD-licensed code and include it as part of their proprietary-licensed products? The ability to do that is one of the main arguments of those who support the BSD style licenses over the GPL, and yet you seem to say that it is NOT permitted.
Opera has some amazing features. FF is inferior in quite a few ways. I still use FF over Opera right now for a few reasons, but it is VERY close and I've done it the other way round for quite a while too. And in the several months I used it, I know I barely scratched the surface of what it's capable of.
I think one of the worst things that could happen in the computing world is for either of these to soundly defeat the other. BOTH are great products in different ways. BOTH are competing and constantly improving. And that's what we want.
For me, if you've left a good mark on a few people, you've had a successful life. This man has left huge good marks on a very large number of us. Who can ask for much more of a man?
Google can easily enough filter where users are connecting from by their IPs, unless they're using proxies. I would assume this information is stored by them.
Also, I'd assume that their servers balance loads locally, so if you're in, say, France and use google.com, you're using a server within western europe, if not within France itself.
Google is said to intentionally NOT collect and store any information that the chinese government would want to acquire, so that they do not have to hand it over.
In the UK, we don't have curbside mailboxes. Generally a house will have a small slot with a sprung flap over it in the door to put mail through. Larger items, the postman knocks or rings the doorbell; if you're not in it gets taken to your local post office to be collected or redelivered.
Presumably any port would have sufficient anti-air and anti-missile defense to make anything the vessels present could do relatively minor. If not, then rendering military harbours useless would be relatively simple...

And this is why we don't want EITHER company to thoroughly beat the other. Competition is virtually always good for the customer.

And how are you going to do that without being logged in yourself?

It's the other meaning of redundant that's meant here. Not creating another to work alongside it, but simply ignoring the existing one.
(You can usually tell who has simply read the headline and nothing else, and who read and understood the story)
That is THE best "Soviet Russia" style joke I have ever seen. Well done.
I'd assume that they've thought of that and will have unlinked windows update from IE.
It works perfectly, including entries that take full advantage of Plus' additional features.
They will affect the OS, yes. Of course they will. This surprises you?
See my reply to the parent poster; it may help you too.

I have a minor problem with your sig - you pay taxes whether you get fined or not...

The fact that matters about this study is that it is one by the industry groups themselves. And that is near enough a first to matter.
Good point. My brain is switched off this morning.
"For instance, I have a very large archive of MP3s from CD's I've bought. "
The RIAA would have you believe that you're breaking the law there, too.
Also, later down the chain of argument aboive, you mention changing medium being prohibited. Hence, you're infringing yourself by your own arguments.
If that is true, the question still has to be asked - how much choice did that team have?

Deals nicely with the whole issue, methinks.
Shred THEN burn. I'd say it's almost impossible to get anything from that.
