That's because I have not flown since they were created, and don't plan to as long as they exist. As soon as the airlines and airports lobbied for it (yes, they actually pushed for the federal government to take over airport security), I suspected I would never fly again. I was probably right.
My kid can send and receive over 400 texts in one day. 8400 in a month is the most I have noticed. I probably average about 400 texts in one year, not three, so yeah, way to go with the uber exaggeration, Tim.
So Google put them back in general search results, but will keep them removed from Google News results, which is what they said they wanted, unlike the court ruling. However, I bet 90% of the visits to their websites via google were as a result of the news results, not general search results. Think - how often have you come across a newspaper website as a result of a general google search? So, Fear Not! These dummies will still get their due.
Have there been any cases where someone tagged for downloading music has argued that he had an implicit license to do so since he had bought some blank CDs?
.... This month he was hoping to have a gold-plated shark tank bar installed right next to the pool, but thanks to people downloading music for free, he must now wait a few months before he can afford it.
I can't believe the labels charged gamemakers anything for promoting their music. Do they think people like my 14 year old son would have ever purchased so many tired songs I have heard a thousand times like Carry On My Wayward Son if it had not been for Guitar Hero?
If this is made into a graphic version for the iPhone, I am sure it would be popular : since so many iphoners think their old-fashioned ringer ringtone is clever, they would love dialing with this.
on the TD article on the TSA from earlier today, I liked these two suggestions from readers the most:
1. Wear a kilt and, of course, go commando
2. Note that when being harassed by authority figures it's _never_ in _your_ best interests to go somewhere private. Sure it may be a little more embarrassing, but it's ultimately _much_ safer.
If I were flying, I would;
1. Make sure to opt out of any screening that you can.
2. Where hard athletic protection (the kind you use for football or some other contact sport).
3. When the confused / frustrated TSA 'agent' asks you to go to a 'private area', refuse. Tell them, "If you want to sexually assault me, I want as many witnesses as possible."
#2 protects your 'junk'
#3 almost guarantees that they'll end up sexually assaulting you.
I have two Canon printers that can use generic cartridges. The cartridges cost a little over a dollar each when I buy 20. I paid $200 on ebay for the last printer, an open box and for a lot more than list, when they were discontinued since I love really cheap ink SOOOO much. When one of these breaks, I would not hesitate to pay $300 for a printer that used generic cartridges, or better yet, one with tanks that you could easily fill from big squirt bottles of ink. Since it does not look like this is going to happen with a US company any time soon, perhaps China will step up.
I don't get this. All the reports I have seen said they took down the video "within hours" of being notified. You keep saying it took two months. Which is correct?
The TSA does not bother me one bit

The court was right
- I did only search for and watch the original once I had watched the South Park parody.

You sound old. They don't teach that anymore.

Stupid Netflix. You would think they would have figured out how to rip a DVD by now.
They are still being punished, but don't know it yet

The real question is....
where can you get this for android?
Any court cases on this yet?

Re: Economics in one lesson?
Sounds like you need to actually read the subject book more than any other commenter.
Re: They're just cops
I think they just do it to download all your MP3s for free.

Made me think of that South Park episode:
.... This month he was hoping to have a gold-plated shark tank bar installed right next to the pool, but thanks to people downloading music for free, he must now wait a few months before he can afford it.
Amazing

Perfect fit

There is actually a pretty good selection of Pez watches available on ebay. Not quite as many as cellphones with cameras, but still...

I would buy an expensive printer with really cheap ink any day

So true. OTOH, if Hermione endorsed them I'd buy them in a second.

You are right! They should do what some TV shows have resorted to: fuzzing out all brand names that are not sponsors.
