Then what incentive is there to innovate? Why invent? 3M or some other big company will just take your idea and mass produce it cheaper than you could.
aye, the sempron 64 3000's can have the dickens overclocked out of them -- it's a great bargain. I'd like to hear about what else you built the system with -- you re-used a lot of older stuff, right? I thought 6800GT's were still way over 100 bucks!
However, to be completely accurate, in this case your "gun" can be used to murder someone without it ever leaving your property or possession, and can be used in this fashion by many people, simultaneously.
But, I'll agree with you -- I don't doubt they'll soon drag someone in. I'd be surprised if it's an open and shut case, though.
Thefts do happen, but it's just a likely that the employee took it home and his kid is playing pac-man on it. ...which is totally an A-OK explanation in a scenario of national security? Ever see Wargames? Pac-man my ass. That "Pac-Man" that 5-year-old is controlling could actually be the new M-100 People Eater, busily chomping its way down a crowded Baghdad street.
"basing something off of something" != "cooperating with something".
I can use whatever techniques you've given to the world to create my own technology, basing my technology after yours, but unless I'm working with you and sharing things back, I'm not cooperating at all.
Not saying that all distros/linux users are like this, but the majority I've seen are.
wow -- that's seriously the first time I've ever heard anyone say anything about the logical cooperation between distros that should be happening but just isn't, from what I've seen. I'm new to the linux world, and all I've seen so far is a lot of:
"X distro is better."
"Nuh uh -- X distro is da bomb!"
"You all suck -- I've been running X distro since 1990 and I own you all."
I don't know how linux users like this ever expect to see their OS gain a meaningful market share in the desktop world with attitudes like this.
"the term "Internet" means the cobination of computer facilities and electromagnetic transmission media [...] the employ the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol or any successor protocol to transmit information..."
someone please correct me if I'm wrong (I'm no expert), but according to this, as long as we somehow just use UDP we're fine?:P

if you have to ask, you'll never know.
I second this. Yeah, I don't have mod points. :P
read much Ursula K. LeGuinn?

Well, you apparently have that internet thing down pat, Mr. Anonymity. *Golf clap*
Well, if he wasn't already doing this, I'd almost say the dumbass deserves to be caught.

aye... and if the guy had an unprotected wireless router? What then?
...trying to prove who the hell "ECOTtotal" is. Maybe it's changed, but I'm pretty sure an IP still doesn't equal a person.
No, but $50 because I had to pay $100 for Microsoft software sure would be nice.
Yeah, I'm sure they'll go along with that -- right after you pry their check-endorsing pens out of their cold, dead hands.
...apparently chickens power the intarwebs?
(Didn't RTFA, don't care to.)
yeah, only from my wife, who's been on it for about four years. no side effects, says she feels great.
I guess you've never heard much from women with endometriosis -- for women with endometriosis, the pill is a godsend.
well, now -- I wonder who that second Anonymous Coward is? ;)
Nope -- it's not gay if it's underway! Ha ha!
ever heard of year-round birth control?
welcome to the world of men...
...toots.
you do realize that after about a million miles or so, even they'd go nuts after their ping goes up to like 20 000. :P
yeah, that's true, but:

sounds like a good guy -- let's hope he has the cajones to stand up to MS if he gets the call one day about a SuSE-like deal.

well, thanks for clearing that up -- I didn't know, and couldn't find after perusing wikipedia for a minute or so.
time for me to start working on my gravity/strong/weak force spectrum information protocol!
