The NSA is not permitted to spy on Americans. The Canadian equivalent is not permitted to spy on Canadians. So they spy on each others citizens and exchange information.
My belief is the story's title is referring to them "forcing" you to update from the RC to the official release. Of course you could always go back to what you were using beforehand.
Does this mean I don't have to pay off my circuit city credit card?
More than likely the Circuit City Credit Card is actually just a major bank with a licensing agreement to use the CC logo (look on the back of the card or on a statement for something like a HSBC/Citi/Chase logo).
Plus, them declaring bankruptcy just affects what they have to pay to the people who they owe money not affecting people who owe them money. Much like if you were to declare bankruptcy, your job will still pay you for working there.
Isn't this just more of Microsoft's typical 'Security through Obscurity' TM. They cant fix the problems so they will just hide them in different parts of the memory.
Your analysis while good, fails to take into account that the Auto-Dialer company is also going to lose money on time/lawyer fees. So if enough people sue them, they can lose a rather hefty chunk of change.
I believe it is saying that large sun was the source of the gravitational pull and when that disapeared/exploded/whatever there was no longer the strong source of gravity to keep them together.
Much as if our sun where to disappear the planets in our solar system would be scattered.
The last mile wires in the US do have this "unbundled" effect (at least telephone not sure about cable). How else would Earthlink, AOL(not so much anymore) or other companies be able to provide DSL over Verizon or SBC's lines?

I believe you are thinking of the CIA, who is not suppose to operate on domestic grounds. A simplified view is that the NSA is basically the domestic branch of the CIA.

So all the rest was better than the hype? :-P

There's probably a good reason, but why not use microwaves? Wouldn't that be better to ensure even burn?
One problem: Engines are metal. Have you ever seen what metal does in a microwave?

This is similar to what I thought when I read the headline. Why would a wind farm need a stop light?

Ex post facto law means that you cannot be convicted of a crime that was committed before the law that made it illegal was passed.
