- This kind of thinking leads to travesties like the CBDTPA "Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act" which would require copying restriction facilities in every digital device. ...
- The use of the word "rights" in this term is propaganda, designed to lead you unawares into seeing the issue from the viewpoint of the few that impose the restrictions, while ignoring that of the many on whom the restrictions are imposed.
- When it comes to copying, this analogy disregards the crucial difference between material objects and information: information can be copied and shared almost effortlessly, while material objects can't be.

- After that things start to deteriorate: you get into Macroeconomics (feel free to skip this if you want) with its interesting theories about things like the relationship of interest rates to unemployment which, er, seem to be disproven more often than they are proven, and after that it just gets worse and worse and a lot of econ majors switch out to Physics, which gets them better Wall Street jobs, anyway. ...

- You think your $160,000 tuition entititles you to learn about while loops? What do you think this is, some fly-by-night Java seminar at the Airport Marriott? Pshaw.
- This is an attempt to hide a useful (shudder) course from the Liberal Artsy Fartsy Administration by dolling it up with a Latin name.

- This has been a long one, again, and it ends with a column to be written. I have to do that soon, so this will be small and short. ...
- This took two hours, but in the end I had regained control of the closet. Every six months you have to do this, or youre swamped by the detritus of Shanghai and Mattel.

9. Anti-Spam!
- www.hostedscripts.com
- What's This Page For?.
- The purpose of this page is to make it so that spammers who attempt to collect email addresses off the web through programs will not have real email addresses in their database, causing them trouble because they will have to clean out their list. This page has one hundred randomly generated email addresses (reload and new ones will appear). At the bottom of the page is a link to this page again, essentially reloading it for programs to collect more fake email addresses. ... This helps to place many invalid email addresses that won't help spammers (they will get more returned email ;) and is our effort to FIGHT SPAM.
- So all you have to do is link to this page so that whenever a spammer's program scans your page, they will be sucked into this one. To link to this page, just use this simple code:.
