I'm guessing it wouldn't be hard for them to integrate the service with Google Desktop. The two could upload your files while indexing your hard drive.
At my university, Tektronics is a major donor, and every scope is a Tektronics model. They run from the most basic scopes to complex ones with built in Windows operating systems, CD drives, and USB ports. We have had great experiences with Tektronics. If they have a model with the features you are looking for, in the price range you are looking for, I would definitely go with them.
If these [expletive deleted] in Georgia would actually look at the statistics, they would notice to between 80 and 90 percent (perhaps higher) of all child sexual abuse is committed by people who know the victims, and often times they are relatives (like an uncle or grandfather). Every kid I personally know of who was molested, had it done to them by an uncle or a boyfriend of their mother. Additionally only about 5% of all offenders abduct the child. If these lawmakers really want to protect the kids, they can't do it by controlling them. They need to search for another solution.
Although I disagree with the legislation, I understand where they are coming from, but I think you're missing the point. What they're trying to do is restrict the point of contact between the predator and the child. Social networking sights are a common way for predators to find their victims. I don't think "pop music" brings a lot of predators in contact with children. Maybe if Justin Timberlake were a pedophile, I would give you some leeway on this one.
True, our founding fathers set up the Constitution so that anything not mandated by the federal government was left up to the states. However, since federal law governs the right to privacy, it would seem that the state cannot make a law regarding this that would conflict.
Even if this passes and is somehow upheld, you will find many kids have a friend's parent setup their account for them. Or, worse yet, the kid will have to help/show their parent how to set up an account for him/her. In theory, it sounds like a good idea, but it doesn't make for a good law.
if your TV kept shutting off, switching channels, or the picture was blurry, you would complain. If your monitor flickered or refreshed once per minute, you would complain. If your magazine was printed with watercolors, you would complain. You assume that everything works efficiently and properly. However, this is not the case with browsers, hence the gripe about their performances. I hate IE and only use FF except when some lame site like mtv.com or mcafee.com requires the use of IE. I have 1GB RAM, so I don't usually mind FF using up 80megs. However, it does need to close quite often, and you can forget closing a window if there is a pdf open in it...FF will freeze up and CPU usage goes to 100% and RAM increases to 150MB.

Damn, you beat me to it.
