Some things are awesome and deserve fanboys... Look at me, every time I see a new release of Window$ it makes me squeal like a third grade schoolgirl:p
This issue, in fact, might turn out pretty good. Say they do pass this and Steve (which I doubt) agrees to pay them $1 for every iPod, there goes the law suits down the drain.
From my understanding you can't sue me for something I've paid for, so in the end they are making pirated music legal if I understand this correctly.
The same thing happened to me, I refreshed the site at 12:57pm Central time and by the time the site loaded up again at 1:10pm the deal was gone.
The way this works is that when a request is made, the site will only fulfill a certain quantity of them, the rest will just time out like it happened to us. Although I was not happy it's just the way it is, I also heard that anyone who used the secure address (https://) went through just fine.
Don't throw out the instructions; archaeologists from the 40th century might need them.
On the serious side, though... How much of our stuff will be unusable only 200 years from now?
Are you serious? the/. db alone will be priceless!!!
Although I do install Firefox in every computer I get a hold of, you are correct, Firefox was secure until they got popular, now watch that bug list grow. However I'm still going to be using Firefox over IE.
I never used the password feature on important sites like my bank and such, if I ever become a victim of that exploit, the only thing you will be getting is the login info for phpnuke.org and other misc sites!
Since they are so concerned about global warming they need to stop using motor vehicles, issue state-wide special edition bicycles for police and other state entities and lead by example!
You can't rely on a speed test that is made in dallas, and your isp is in Washington state. Make sure you find a reliable site close to the source for a reliable test result.

I thought this was already a law, I mean Dick Cheney is living proof!

Apparently they encourage it in this particular case.
