And all their other fronts (e.g. Amazon and WalMart) will quickly adopt the same policies now that the labels have no reason to continue offering them favorable terms.
Perhaps not. I don't think they want any one online music store to have a big enough market share where the retailer can more or less dictate the terms and conditions of online music sales. By continuing to offer favorable terms to Amazon, WalMart*, and friends, they can potentially keep iTunes from having the monopoly they used to. On the other hand, you're probably right.
They don't need common carrier status for protection under the DMCA.
DISCLAIMER: IANAL.
How I read the DMCA and what's left of the Communications Decency Act, pulling crap like this could endanger the CDA's and DMCA's protections from prosecution due to the actions of their customers. As far as I can tell, the best immediate hope for this to stop is for Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, and friends to file antitrust complaints, as it's against the law to attempt leverage a monopoly in one area (in this case, broadband internet service in their service area) to gain a monopoly in other areas (in this case, webmail service).
I'd say that Bush is between Hoover and Nixon in the bottom 3. That could change depending on such factors as the future results of the military occupation of Iraq, the extent of the economic crisis, how much money the bailout actually ends up costing, and the results of various hypothetical future criminal probes.
Of course, that'd be assuming a crime was committed. Since they had to stretch the law so badly just to charge her with something, I'm not convinced an actual crime occurred.
Except the tormenting and suicide occurred in Missouri. Speaking of that, yet another reason why this case is bullshit. You shouldn't be dragged to a federal court 2000 miles from where you live over a crime that occurred in your home.
Wrong on at least 3 of those listed. WalMart, Yahoo, and MSN backed down and still run their DRM servers Google and MLB shut their DRM servers down. I'm not sure about Sony and Virgin.
While I'm glad to have the ACLU around to defend 95% of the constitution, unless they take a big change of course, there's always going to be a need for another org. to be there to defend that pesky 2nd amendment they wish would just go away.
I keep putting the URLs on PhishTank, but it's scary as an actual Wachovia customer (I never gave Wachovia my email address or mentioned anywhere where my email alias is used that I bank there).
So? Unless scammers can "acquire" some sort of customer list, they just email their crap to as many people as they can and hope they find some gullible-enough customers of whatever bank they're impersonating.
RealNetworks -- the firm behind the software -- has responded to restraining order issued by a US court stopped selling the RealDVD software
is grammatically incorrect and wanted to say "The BBC screwed up, we're just directly quoting them". Whether it's correct or not, it doesn't sound quite right to me.
You know, every new version of Windows gets advertised as "OMG SAFEST WINDOWS EVAR" and every new version of Windows seems to have more security holes than the previous version. While not on the same level as the scareware vendors, it's certainly similar.
I'm fairly certain it was actually referring to child pornography. If they actually cut people off for downloading porn, they wouldn't have any customers. Also, Google removed the "all your content are belong to us" clause from the license for Chrome.
That might give Linux and BSD a chance to gain significant market share. Sure, Linux and BSD may not be as interoperable as Windows (Thanks, Microsoft) but $1000/seat/year might be enough of a cost for people not to care,
60 watts? That's not that impressive. The CeleronM-based EEEPCs (70x, 900, and either the 904 or the 905, I'm too lazy to check) pull about 25 watts while charging[1].
Except the OP had a "reseller account" which is something Dreamhost doesn't offer (although they do allow reselling). Actually, reading through the question, I kinda wondered the same thing.

I *think* the especially egregious example was a Circuit City in Ohio.

What competitors?
Hopefully the government will actually have the balls to make them stop.

I thought they did after the XCP rootkit incident.
There's also "Fair Use Circumvention Kit".
Err, Yahoo gave coupons for free mp3 downloads from Real and/or refunds.
Still, not quite as bad as just shutting it down.

If I recall correctly (it's been 4+ years), they're honestly not even sure that shell was even Iraqi.
Not so much.

That's not entirely necessary. There are options for far less than $50 that have reasonable sound quality and good isolation.
For instance, if you peel the paper filter off, http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAFX33A-Marshmallow-Stereo-Headphones/dp/B000IS1ZYY is quite good for under $10 shipped.
So?

Except the numbers seem to mostly back me up here.
Windows 2000 Professional: 182 Secunia advisories, 165 vulnerabilities. http://secunia.com/advisories/product/1/
Windows XP Professional: 219 Secunia advisories, 202 vulnerabilities. http://secunia.com/advisories/product/22/
Windows ME: 35 Secunia advisories, 21 vulnerabilities. http://secunia.com/advisories/product/14/
Windows XP Home: 199 Secunia advisories, 184 vulnerabilities. http://secunia.com/advisories/product/16/
I'd say it's too early to tell whether Vista has more holes than XP, but it certainly could. Currently, there are 40 Secunia advisories and 63 vulnerabilities.
You know, every new version of Windows gets advertised as "OMG SAFEST WINDOWS EVAR" and every new version of Windows seems to have more security holes than the previous version.

Not sure about that, but this is certainly one way to steal music.
Wrong. It runs on 1st through 5.5th generation iPods and 1st generation iPod Nanos so even that's not true.
