I think here's how it goes down most of the time: 1) You are caught and your IP address is recorded by the piracy police. 2) They find out who that IP address belongs to. 3) The piracy police have their lawyers draft a letter to said ISP. Now, here's where it can go in one of two...

This is excellent news! Now I can almost forgive them for locking me into a 2 year contract with a Moto RAZR with all the good factory features disabled* by the shitty Verizon firmware. Almost. Not that Verizon cares too much how little ol' me feels one way or the other. (*Sure, I followed...

Not that I believe it, but the argument could be made that said hullabaloo would certainly ensure the (U.S.) media's attention was focused elsewhere, therefore making it the perfect time for such an operation to take place no matter who was behind it, right? The storm was obviously a...

That's what I thought immediately, although I was speculating that their motivation would be to further turn world opinion against the U.S. - "Look, that bully America is picking on little ol' us again" - rather than some sort of financial or technological motivation. Hmmm. But the more I...

If audio quality is the most important thing to you, and 20 gigs is enough for you, you might try the Rio Karma. Best sounding MP3 player ever. 'Course, you'll need a time machine to get one new. But you might find a used one on fleabay.

I'm no haX0r but I would rather see them leave it as OSX only, since Mac cultists always like to tout the system's security as a reason why their choice is superior. If someone were to compromise the laptop using Vista or Linux, I can hear it now, "Big deal, it's because of the flaws in...

There are some who believe that the infamous "mark of the beast" already exists - in the form of your social security number. I wouldn't got that far, but some people would. Of course, some people thought Reagan was the Anti-Christ because his name was "Ronald Wilson Reagan" OMG six letters...

Isn't the pr0n industry is behind Blu-Ray? I think I read somewhere that their support (more than any other factor) will likely determine which format emerges victorious.

Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions but was that directed at me? :o If so, that may be the first time I've been lectured to by someone nearly a decade my junior! (But the older I get, I'm sure it won't be the last.) I'm married, with two kids, a decent job in advertising, am a conservative, and...

And therein, I think, lies the difference.

There is an oft-overlooked Presidential candidate you could vote for who is on-record as being against this kind of thing (while consistently voting that way in the House) and his name is... <Sigh> Who am I kidding? Cue w1retap in 5... 4... 3... :D

Well said - and I think we can probably all agree that there are not enough of the former and far too many of the latter.

I don't think anyone here is under the delusion that he can win, but okay. And you're entitled to your opinion of course but I think you're wrong about the motivations of "most" Paul supporters. Personally I don't smoke marijuana -- but I do think that the State's should legislate that...

Exactly right! That's why your savings can sit in the bank yet be worth less year after year, at no fault of your own. It's the hidden tax of out-of-control inflation. Won't be all that "hidden" for long, though. It doesn't help that too many people don't seem to want to -- or either simply...

Vote Ron Paul in 2008! You may not like his (some would say) odd stance on foreign policy, but as soon as our beloved dollar finishes its collapse our foreign policy will likely be irrelevant. I realize that it could be said that you are throwing your vote away by doing pulling the lever for...
