The really cool thing about PSK31 is that your computer can copy a signal you can't even hear.
One of the first times I played around with copying PSK31 I had a station tuned in, then pulled the audio cable out of the radio and from the computer - then I stared slack jawed as text still scrolled across the screen. It took me a minute to realize the mic in the notebook was still decoding the signal from the radio loudspeaker. Amazing.
Just create a text file called "Important Microsoft Security Update", put instructions in it to buy you the book, then copy it to \\bossspc\c$\windows\desktop
It appears to be the old saying "silence gives consent". If nobody complains it's must be ok. I've been admiring the line on the HP support page: " using this site means you agree to its terms"
There are plenty of other company's with Unix style os's, SGI's IRIX, Sun Microsystem's Solaris - are they all going to have to pony up bucks for a SCO license someday?
Isn't there more to it than that? Most all entertainment involves some kind of story and plot - what if the show with everyone throwing stones at people with red hair ends up with the stone throwers arrested and locked up for a year? Or better yet, the redheads go get bigger stones, clobber the bad guys, then put all their rubbish in the bin? That is to say, it's not just the act, but the moral consequences of it.
I'm sure there were Bhutanese myths, stories or kabuki theatre with very violent scenes. Even the bible beaters complaining about trash and filth in modern media have to admit the old testament has some pretty gory stuff;)) (I'm thinking of the fat king who came out of the toilet and had a sword shoved into his belly so far the fat covered up the handle).
I need a cluster to do the rendering of my blender animation experiments. My 100 frame movie at 640x480 takes several minutes to finish on a single 1.3Ghz box, especially when you like enviroment maps at high res (for mirrored surfaces).
Next Q: Why whould anyone want to make 3d animations in Blender? A. Because I want to!

selling devices that improve public health by reducing the harm caused by illegal substances is illegal
All the above is quite true - not only is the most dangerous aspect of relatively harmless psychoactive plants the legal trouble it can get you into, the beneficient and protective govt. actually approves and sells products that cause many known health problems. Just like 'home brew' in the basement was popular during the prohibition years of the 20's (thank you for alcohol prohibition, women voters!) so you didn't have to support the local Al Capone making megabucks off the law, today it's the closet garden.
On topic: New???? Someone in my family was giving away corn plastic stuff (like pens) for xmas over 20 years ago. Maybe this is a new formula or process.
Maybe that's the key - I learned touch typing at age 16 in the Altair days, have been typing furiously since and now 44 w/ no problems. That includes many sessions typing in magazine games and hex listings. Maybe it's also because when the wrists get tired I stop and rest, and don't have a slave driver demanding those last 50 pages get typed up before 4:30 or your fired.
Notice tho how some keyboards have etched into the plastic "Some experts beleive use of any keyboard can cause serious permenant damage", most likely required by their legal so they can say, "Don't sue us, we warned you!".
don't forget about what the parents, administrators and taxpayers think (of teaching Johnny to compute w/o getting sucked into the World's Richest Man's revenue stream).
Oh mi, that's such an accurate description of my younger days and it's rated funny. [eyes glaze over as mind fades back to memories of soldering SN7400 chips onto a home etched circuit board to work out truth tables from Copi's book. Sniff].
One time I just up and quit my job in disgust. While living at home my dad said, "Son, life is like Tarzan swinging thru the jungle - you have to make sure you've got a hold on the next vine before you let go of the last".
When I played around w/ Packet Radio there were a lot of problems, collisions, weak transmitters come and go, the retries and lag time is tremendous - the buzz at the time was: don't expect to be able to d/l PacMan video games using Packet! Whats the max packet baud rate these days? 9600? On HF it's even lower.
At work I can ping a remote site and get a response in about 70 milliseconds, going thru about 20 routers. Packet radio can't touch that.
Look into PSK31, it's an interesting active mode these days for point-to-point qso's, an HF chat room if you will.
See this for a good explaination of the munchies. Turns out that "In 1992 researchers identified the first endocannabinoid" (they occur naturally in the human body).
Yet, the link between smoking plant parts and narcotics like opium is still strong in the public mind, making a political change difficult. Just the other day Bill O'Reilly made the same mistake - someone mentioned legalizing pot and the next thing you know he was blathering about shooting up. Misinformed mouthpieces like that just spout the same old tired party line on the subject w/o reguard to the facts.

Um, actually I just did that a few weeks ago. While playing around with my 3D LCD shutter glasses I found this program and actually got a very good 3D shot of my room, just by snapping a pic, moving over a few cm and snapping another pic. I put the camera in a frame to keep it aligned in the other directions (your right, a 1 deg rotation will spoil the effect, but 3D Combine software is supposed to compensate for that) and it turned out great. Also, while looking for 3D photos to download I found one guys collection of European castles - One German castle, which also comes out ok, obviously used the same single camera technique since you can see off in the distance a road that has a car on it in one eye, but not in the other! Fortunately it was way off (small) and didn't spoil the scene. So, try it, the single camera method is quite easy for fairly static subjects!
Also, I'm not saying it's good for mars missions either;)

It just smacks too much of the infamous buy out of MITS by Pertec - Pertec beleived they were buying MITS Basic (or Micro-Soft Basic) at the time, but after the dust settled in the courtroom, no such luck. (Damn)
This is the biggest grenade that the supervillian can toss into the Unix camp, utter confusion over ownership of code, all carefully crafted to scare Unix customers back into the 'safe haven' of Msft.
The Digital Copyright Millennium Act? Wouldn't it sound better if they called it the Digital Millennium (TWO N's now!!) Copyright Act? How about the District of Columbia Media Association?
If this 40% figure is based anyway on any Msft figures it's bogus - They are so enamoured of themselves it's a self-fooling prophacy, like the Bush admin expecting Iraqi citizens to welcome the 'liberators' with open arms, hugs, cheers, flowers and free oil wells.
Yes, someone using a pirated copy who 'wouldn't have purchased it otherwise' is a definite DILUTION OF THE VALUE OF THE PRODUCT which is an offense to the people who created it and their investors. The supply/demand economics of private IP is largely based on EXCLUSION of some people (those who don't pay, just like I can ask the police to remove you from my premises because it is my private property, not a public park). The false argument that "I can pirate this because I would not have purchased it" is a rationalization to attempt to justify a crimal act, pure and simple.
While IP is easy to copy, there is a limit on the supply (and thus a real price attached to it in the face of honest demand), and that is the cost of production, which you thieves are not taking into account when you say that a copy is free. It is a crime against your fellow man, no matter how you reason it away in your own deluded world.
That's what my last adventure was - finding the site of a WWII B25 bomber crash in the blue ridge mountains. I have hiked up that mountain many times, and/never/ realized that a debris field with airplane parts, rusty engines, prop hubs, etc were just a few hundred yards off the 'official' trail untill a geocacher pointed it out. They just don't tell you these things at the ranger station!
