Trying to understand your perspective in today's global environment becomes something like writing science fiction; not that what you say won't ever come true. I don't fully agree with you as I haven't reflected on the ramifications, but I'd like to understand your position. Do you recommend any reading material for this?
>You seem to have the belief that laws are fundamentally good, no matter what they say.
No, there isn't enough information to extrapolate that from the parent's comment.
"The co-opticon (a.k.a. the ShareCam) is a machine for democratic optics, allowing a network of participants to cooperatively control the viewpoint of a shared video camera.
The co-opticon combines a networked robotic video camera with a graphical user interface that allows many internet-based viewers to share simultaneous control of the camera by specifying desired viewing frames. Algorithms compute the optimal camera frame based on all requests, and position the camera accordingly."

Actually, he may not be able to disclose the dollar amount he received, although I'm not sure how to interpret it and I don't feel like making the effort. Here, check out Item b from Google AdSenseTM Online Standard Terms and Conditions:

But that's only for 4"x6" though... what about printing bigger, such as at 8"x10" for the especially sentimental shots? Need more pixels to keep close to 300 DPI.
In Opera, You can toggle the sending of the Referrer Header at any time.
Use the quick menu: Just hit F12, then 'f'. (on v6.03 at least)
I can see lots of uses for this. You can use this to hide where you're coming from, such as clicking on info links from BitTorrent repositories of questionable nature. Or when trying to get through to sites who have blocked access via Referrer from Slashdot.
Do you want Opera to send information referring to the page from where the document or picture was requested?
If you enable this option in File > Preferences > Privacy, Web servers can store information about the site that you last visited before you jumped to the current one. This allows webmasters to analyze how people find their way to his website.
Disable this option if..." [Remainder of text deleted to fit within fair-use guidelines. Ahem.]
It would wreak havoc on the spirit of the internet to have user-definable Referrer fields, though...
Why stop at Google? Terrorists use the internet, too.
And, the way things are going, where would you stop? Freedom then becomes a terrorist tool. So I think Google is safe....As long as our Constitution still manages to remain constitutional.:)
This is very much targetted toward a specific market.
There's also the issue of photojournalists using Photoshop to alter their shots. Publications and organizations who issue awards like the Pulitzer will want to be sure the photographers submit what they say the submit -- unaltered photos, in this case. Editors can also be guilty of ordering manipulations.
I bought my copy at Ned's Bookstore a few years ago in Berkeley, California for $78.95, new and hardcover -- fourth edition, too. Much cheaper than Walmart's $100+ price.

Awwww, I like that story. You rule, man. :)
Interesting.

You make a good point about the fifth amendment, but...
I can't understand how your words are supposed to accomplish anything in that situation. What can the cop do about it? He/she only enforces the laws.
Talk to the lawyers/politicians/rich people/critical-mass-of-choice who can do something about this.
But yes, I would get as mad as you did.

Some altered photos I remember:
