Let me think for a millisecond...
Australia used have such a program until the government cut the budget. So we had better hope that any planet killer doesn't approach from the south, unless South Africa or Argentina have a spaceguard project.
The film crews will get paid no matter what. The unions here in Australia and in the U.S. are quite strong. I work in theatre and film as a technician and if you are more than half decent at your job you will find paid work at a reasonable rate. If a film is not being made there are always plenty of commercials to work on or corporate videos or live theatre or concerts or...
The pay and profit in the film industry is way above live theatre, and nobody in live theatre is saying that the industry is in it's current downturn because of copying! Though I could see an arguement along the lines that because people have 'home theatres' they wont go out to theatres. (Little rant: It should be called 'home cinema', a theatre has real people on a stage!)
Starring actors will still be able to demand mega dollars. The movies will still get made, the only ones losing out are the big studios and executives. This whole point out how the little man is losing out is a misdirection.
I threw my Lexmark in the bin after the ink ran out when I found there were no Linux drivers for it except a partially working (B&W only)reverse engineered one. Nor do Lexmark seem to care much. See their scorecard here. "Useless"
The floppy driver works well for me. I just managed to retrieve a theatre lighting plot from a ancient 360k floppy written on an old lighting desk in some bizzare adulterated CP/M format. Mind you,it took a bit of trying to find the correct/dev/fdd to use.
I think the main problem I have seen encountered with floppies is the incorrect device mounted. This comes not from buggyness but from having a choice. Let's see if Windows or DOS will read this odd floppy...nope...
Does anyone know where I can find a Real Life server with good role play? I'm a little sick of all the loot monkey, powergamer, rules lawyers that I find on this server.
So according to your reasoning, given that we all know what the conditions of whatever job we may choose(if we indeed have the luxury of a choice), we should not take action to change the situation as we find it. Just because I like my job and do it for reasons other than the money does not mean that I cannot be justified in saying "Hey this job is worth more that what I am paid!".
And yes, you do sound like a conservative republican.
And why is the 'analog hole' a problem that they would want to address? I can still play my cd through and damn pair of speakers I want or a dvd into any TV (nearly) that I choose, or into any VCR, tape deck, sound card, minidisk, sampler...
Sure, I don't get a digital copy, just an analog one with the difficulty of generation loss. I can live with that, millions think the lossy (and lousy) mp3 compression is fine.
I can't see any point in trying to block that mode of copying unless you make a technology that never converts information into analog form. But, that would be about as useful as tits on a bull.
and of course this will just encourage those rascally terrorist who want to build nasty rocketses and blow us all to smithereens. Since now they won't have to pay those pesky licence fees for operating systems for their WMDs.
I recently saw the movie "24 Hour Party People" Ian Mackay'scheme reminds me of The Factory's no contract contract, signed in blood. The Factory managed to lose heap and heaps of cash...mainly through the nightclub they owned. Still they had a good cash flow. Wothout the sink of the Factory nightclub they might have actually made money. With bands like The Cure, Happy Mondays and Joy Division being successful should have been easy.
"Opium cultivation is illegal in every counrty, but the Taleban still tolerated it 'cos that was basically their government budget float."
Wrong. The Taliban actually cut Afghanistans Opium production drastically. The pre-Taliban, Soviet supported government were using opium as a major cash crop. (Selling herion to European and US junkies to buy weapons from the Soviets;) )
From my understanding of the Baysean filter, it ignored all HTML tags completely so spurious comments like in your example would not affect the filter at all.
My understanding was that a geosynchronous orbit has to be above the equator. Perth is at about 32 degrees south. Does the elevator point up at some angle? I imagine it might stick out perpendicular to the earth's axis of rotation rather than the surface.
Is an alien skull realy the simplest hypothesis, the one which requires us to make the least further theories to explain the phenomenon? (Assuming it's not a hoax just to get our hard earned readies.)

Damn...I did the format but how the hell do I download OpenBsd now that I have no browser?

Missed anything? Posting this list to him perhaps?

I have noticed that Opera defaults to identifying itself as IE. Perhaps the stats for Opera are under represented somewhat.

Is that the (in)famous Markoff Chaney?
It very well could be.
WOW! 10kA outlets!
Thats a mighty truckload of copper in them cables.

"... additional education and awareness on the importance of intellectual property rights in this new era of content distribution may be necessary."
Perhaps it's the record companies that need re-education about the uselessness of intellectual propery rights in this new era of content distribution.
Internet killed the video star.

Or even better: /bin
AFAIK here in Australia we don't have a DCMA.
Perhaps we should get one just so we can complain about it.
Good to see someone who wants to treat the cause not the symptoms.
I always needed to know how to calculate the surface area of a whale, now I do. I wonder if this calculation is available for free?

I think not.
Can the same be said of Windows 2000, I wonder?
