Re:Interesting ideology
Speaking as a US citizen, I have to point out that civil-disobedience is a valuable part of my history. The women's suffrage movement and the civil rights movement are two good examples of movements that likely would not have succeeded without using civil-disobedience.
Peaceful civil-disobedience is about as far from terrorism (which by definition uses violence or the threat of violence) as you can get.
If you aren't familiar with the concept of civil-disobedience, you can find lots of good stuff through google - like this essay. -
Re:Or a web browser
You will notice that www.flysuite.com--which is not defunct does a mixture of web browser applets and computer applications. You can do either. They also include online storage, which fully integrates with their applications. Also, OEOne.com's OEOne Anywhere provides calendar, e-mail, file storage, and bookmark hosting, which integrates with Mozilla-based browsers as well as being accessible using a standard web interface. Yahoo! Briefcase provides Internet Explorer integration for their Yahoo! Briefcase to their DSL customers (and possibly via their Yahoo! Plus service and Yahoo! Internet Explorer offering). They also used to offer a client for Yahoo! Briefcase similar to X-drive, but I don't know if it still exists. It only supported 95/98 at the time. A lot of services like calendar are expected to integrate with computer applications, and not be strictly web-based. File Management and FTP also strikes me as being this way. If the file storage uses open standards, it can be accessed by any platform (I know Slashdot knows this.. but what protocols do they use?) Perhaps my own Earlham College can look into it? They have a terrific open source-oriented computer science department. It is located in Richmond, IN.

RT
I'm not sure what specific purpose you're aiming for, but Best Practical's RT has been extremely useful for us. I'm part of a two-member sysadmin team that should be four, and RT really has been wonderful way to keep two overworked sysadmins organized.

Re:Just a novelty...?
Consider a comparable situation. For example, let the US invade Cuba. Different history, economics, people. The US leadership would likely not accomodate the Cuban needs.
The US has already ruled Cuba. The rule happened from 1898 (end of the Spanish-American War) to 1902, although the US butted in Cuban affairs until 1959. Read more here. -

nomic
If you really like FLUXX and can deal with some open ended complexity, you might consider nomic. It's basically a rules set that defines how changes can be made to the rules set and has an arbitrary victory condition (which usually gets changed quickly).

Re:Music Lovers
The file-sharing debate is not about what is or isn't illegal. It is about what should be illegal.
Nobody disagrees that these people violated current law. But many people here believe that they did no wrong, that rather, it is the law that is wrong.
This country was founded on the principle that people should choose to fight or protest laws they don't agree with, and try to get them changed, rather than quietly obeying them. Deliverately violating a law you don't agree with is called Civil Disobedience, and has a long history as a valid form of protest. -
Not quite a Microsoft-free zone
The PLoS information site indeed runs on Linux, but it's perhaps worth mentioning that the PLoS Biology journal itself runs on a rather less open platform. Kudos to PLoS for their launch though.
For more on the ever-expanding open access movement in science, see Peter Suber's excellent blog: Open Access News.
Also, check out the other major open access publisher, BioMed Central. BioMed Central launched in 2000 and has already published more than 3000 peer reviewed biomedical research articles.

Operation Barndoor
I'm one of the sysadmins for a CS department in a liberal arts college. I've been working with the web content admins off and on for a couple months as they prepare a system that will execute a Perl script to generate an image that will replace the e-mail address. The project is still in its infancy, but here's the URL to the description, and here's the URL to the current version of the project, in gzip'd tarball format.

Telling students what to do is not the solution
My college, in response to Blaster, Nachi, etc., recently told students to download a copy of Vexira Anti-virus, for which we have a site license. One of my non-CS friends (yes,
In short, just telling students to download and run a program they don't understand to clean up their computers isn't going to work. At best, no one's going to do it, and at worst, it's going to f*ck people's computers up, creating more of a support mess.

Re:They're rather
I realize I'm responding to a troll, but I think this point deserves an explanation.
The ACLU Executive Director, Anthony Romero, came to my school (Earlham College), and was asked about the Second Amendment. He said that the reason they didn't defend it was that someone was already there to defend it: the NRA. He (nor I) doesn't think we are in any danger of losing our Second Amendment rights as long as the NRA is around.
