Sorry, I should have wrapped that comment in facetious tags. Of course doing that would land oneself in jail faster than you can say the words "contempt of court".
Then again, we are talking about an average FaceBook user here, so maybe the judge should just be happy it isn't typed in all caps.
The Judge demanded she write a 5 page paper, but didn't make any mention of what size font was required.
I'd write that 5 pages...
in 72pt...

Just sayin'...
I bought a used 3DO with a number of games really cheaply. The game I loved the most was Return Fire, mostly for the crazy multi-player matches I had with my friends and/or brothers. I tried the sequel for the PC some years later but it wasn't the same.
Twisted: The Game Show was fun for parties too, but eventually got old. I still have my lifetime supply of nothing that I won by spinning a zero.
To Marilyn Bess, her website is a hobby. Between her blog and infrequent contributions to ehow.com, over the last few years she says she'½Â(TM)s made about $50. To the city of Philadelphia, it'½Â(TM)s a potential moneymaker, and the city wants its cut.
I've had just about enough of this "Sun". First, we've learned it's to blame for global warming, now it's setting fires throughout the world. Why, why does it hate our liberties? How many innocents must die of skin cancer before someone acts? How many children must we let it burn on metal playground equipment? When will it strike you with sunburn in your very own backyard?? The world must stand up to this terrorism! We must strike fast and we must strike hard! All good men must stand up and demand the world governments strike with the biggest atomic - no, hydrogen bomb and wipe this great evil from the sky above!!!
Urge your leaders to act now before it is to late! Think of the children!
About a year ago I was invited and signed up with Getty through the initial program with Flickr. I had many discussions with friends who are professional photographers about whether or not I should sign up, and most echo what is being said here: the royalty rates are too low. This is a fair assessment; Getty pays between 20% to 30% commission for photos(depending on the license type), far below what most stock and micro-stock agencies will pay. For me however, the other advantages far outweighed the lower royalty rates. Having Getty handle everything is for me worth the fat cut they take. They are a large agency, and do attract a huge amount of customers, most being corporate-use type who are use to paying high amounts for photos. They will go after cases of infringement of photos licensed through them. Finally, I get bragging rights to be able to say I contract with Getty (this makes my pro photographer friends very mad. Now we have an understanding not to mention the "G" word). Basically, once I sat down, counted the cost and the other options, I decided it was worth signing up for. I've made enough money to keep me happy and be able to support my expensive photography habit.
Getty itself is in a interesting position here. For the longest time, stock photography was the domain of professional photographers. With the advent of digital photography, there's a new wave of pro-amateurs that have flourished in sites like Flickr. At the same time, traditional photographers worked themselves into a conformable niche shooting increasingly cliche photos. Creative professionals eventually started noticing they could find more creative photos on sites like Flickr and negotiate dirt-cheap rates directly with the photographer cutting out agencies like Getty out altogether. The deal between Getty and Flickr was smart play from Getty to keep themselves relevant in the changing market. There's still a need for a photo agency to do the middle-man work of contracts, licensing, releases, research, etc., at least for now.
So, in summary, this move is good for Getty, good for non-professional photographers, and not good for existing professional photographers.
btw, if anyone is interested, here's my small catalog on Getty and a shameless plug for my site on Flickr
Is there currently a set of programs that does this in some automated fashion that will generate a list of discrepencies to parse through?
I believe RootkitRevealer does, although it does it by comparing the files as shown through Windows to a raw read of the file table.
Seriously. You're probably going to want a separate server(s) for this job. You didn't specifiy what you're indexing, how often, or where, however I'll make some assumptions and point you towards an enterprise search appliance or product. Many will probably point you to Google Enterprise Search. I've worked with the search functionality withing Microsoft Sharepoint 2007, and it's (ostensibly) free spin-off, Microsoft Search Server. Again, you'll probably need to dedicate some hardware to this. In addition to crawling all the content, the search product will also need to index and present it to the user. This requires a front-end crawling role, back-end indexing role, and a database to keep all the data in. Dealing with several hundred gigs mean you'll want to have separate servers for all 3 (again, basing this off of my knowledge of MS products. YMMV). The nice part is that your users will work through a webpage, and the workstation won't be tied up doing any crunching of it's own.

Some people didn't like what was posted to twitter in the past 24 hours and had other people take it down. It's a distraction. Scrutinize what happened before it down and not the distraction of it going down and you'll have your answer.
Wasn't yesterday the anniversary of the Russian military incursion in South Ossetia in Georgia? Perhaps after Twitter's widespread involvement with the events in Iran, certain political elements didn't want it happening there as well?
