Not only that, but as the water goes into space, to the poles, or whatever, what remains is going to become increasingly salty... the minerals are not evaporating, after all... when you get to the end, it's brine, then paste, then dust.

Really, I wonder how they are going to work that. I have about $70 credit on account at Amazon and they will not let me purchase an MP3 unless I give them a credit card number. So gift cards and certificates are no good for MP3 purchases without the downloaders cc info on file. I wonder how they will do the Pepsi give away... requiring credit card information voids the "free" aspect of the deal, that's desirable marking info they get with that card number... info that has value.
The thing is, the mass he has to move is a lower and it gives a great return on the energy expended. To get an "equal footing" (sorry), the other runners would have to shed the excess mass and then retrain on the blades. I can see people doing this had he been allowed to compete... what's a gold medal worth to some of these people, really?

First, IANAL. I was raised in a law enforcement home and one of my best buddies is a lawyer, so I like to think about this stuff. What I find interesting is the legal defence issue. Evidence requires a chain of custody or it is just "some stuff we found somewhere". When the ISP tampers with the stream, they provide any defendant with proof positive that it is possible that the defendant had nothing to do with whatever it is that has the prosecutor's panties in a knot. The "tree" (internet connection) is tainted and thus it is NOT possible to prove anything except that the defendants connection was compromised. You could wear a jury out questioning every person that worked for the ISP, regardless of their position... when you have no proof you go fishing for doubt. Does someone at the ISP know someone at the prosecutor's office? That's doubt. Was the customer ever rude or mean to an ISP employee? Sounds like revenge... On and on you could go.

DriveImage XML will make CD or DVD size files, it will not burn them automatically. A portable drive is the best way to go as far as media is concerned. DriveImage XML is free and the backup is browsable and allows extraction of single files/folders as long as you did not use RAW format when making the backup. It does NOT do partitioning so you have to prep your new drive before doing a full restore.

I was wondering why email could not sit on the sending parties server until I respond to a set of headers telling me I have a message to be picked up....
An incoming message to me would be a small set of headers telling me who sent the message and what the subject is, along with size, the location of the server, and authorization code so my client can grab the message if I tell it to do so. There would be settings in my client to always download from certain people so I really only need to review the unknown stuff.
This should cut down on traffic as I'm never going to pick up the body of a message I don't want, and that's 80% of the junk I get. A rejection function would make a nice option (for when you care enough to say "Bite Me") but for spam just let it sit on their server till they do something about it.
It should cut down on spam because the spammer becomes a sitting target with a ton of headers all pointing to the location of the offending server.
Same for phishing, send out the headers and hope someone bites all while you are sitting exposed at a known address? I don't think they would like that.
Very easy to report offending accounts or servers, if the message is to get through then the path pointing to it has to be valid.
For those doing legit mass mailing this should save bandwidth, one message on the server, many small headers sent. Only those truly interested pick up the message.
For legit mail providers the outgoing message could have an expiration time/date and that should save on the amount of "undeliverable" messages that ping pong around from spam and auto responders interacting. The users client can clean up expired messages and inform the sender of the failure to deliver, more saved bandwidth.
Are there details to work out? Yup, tons of them. But I for one would love the fact that I don't have to download what I don't want... Kinda like having a trashcan next to my mailbox at home.
