...soul hits, marked by heraldic horns and enough jazz flute to make Herbie Mann proud. “Free at Last” isn’t without its faults though. “Take It To The Top,” featuring 50 Cent, is a garish, tired rip-off of Fiddy’s usual loverman bullshit (think “Candy Shop” or “Follow My Lead”). This is the only track on the album that could be seen as a blatant attempt at a pop hit, and may prevent...

Sweetnurse shows how easy it is to be an Internet rip-off artist. The warnets provide an anonymous way to go online, and they are cheap at 30[cents] an hour. The hackers start by firing up an Internet Relay Chat program--software that connects them to a worldwide network of chat rooms. The next step is to make up a user name and find a chat room dedicated to credit-card fraud. There Sweetnurse verifies credit-card numbers--even numbers picked at random--to determine their credit limits and expiration dates, using the same types of automated programs deployed...

...textile industry, ably defended over the years by Senators Jesse Helms and Ernest Hollings of the Carolinas, has long been one of the most aggressive lobbies for tariffs and quotas. Such protection hurts more people than it helps. Stern calls agricultural subsidies "a rip-off" for citizens of rich countries, who have to pay higher prices and taxes than they would in a world where goods were traded freely.

...platinum prices set records, a new bill was being debated by the House Natural Resources Committee, which could force the mines to pay up. For 135 years, the mines have taken wealth out of the public domain under the protection of the General Mining Law - a let-'er-rip relic of the wild frontier past that allows mines to stake claims on almost any federal land. Since the law's enactment in 1872, the U.S. government has given away more than $245 billion in mineral reserves through patenting or royalty-free mining, says Rep. Nick Rahall, the West Virginia Democrat...
