This is not an accurate representation. Google DOES buy your book, in the same way that a book store does. The fact that a book store makes money by reselling your book does not mean the bookstore is violating your copyright.
It turns out that under copyright law you cannot impede another person from making money from your book in this way. You can, however, charge more for your book. You're free under copyright law to set whatever price you want on your book.
It seems to me a countermeasure spammers might try is including a dictionary with their spam. Since filters are for sure going to be conservative and avoid false positives, they'll latch onto "good" words from the dictionary and ignore "bad" words from the spam.
Actually, Buchanan himself questions the result:

Also, the Wash. Post reported that the socialist party (the one below Gore on the ballot) got 12 times the number of votes as its registration in the county.
The Post said that Buchanan got around 10 times his registration rates in Palm Beach.
I want to voice strong opposition to the proposal the COE has made for
legislation to combat "cybercrime." There are many problems with the
proposal which could be pointed out. The most problematic, in my
opinion, is article 6, which (if enacted by signatories) would prohibit
the possession of any "exploit" code which could be used to illegally
access a computer.
I run a small network for my home. My computer has been cracked. So
I am someone who has an interest in being protected from cybercrime.
This treaty would not help me, it would actively hurt my ability to protect
my vulnerabilities. How?
The primary way I protect myself is relying on the reports from private
organizations and groups interested in computer security, who keep
track of current exploits and make fixes for them. These individuals
and organizations run mailing lists and websites where these programs
are discussed and exchanged for the purposes of helping to find fixes
for the vulnerabilities they exploit. If this treaty were passed, this kind
of activity would be made illegal. This would not just have a negative
effect on the ability of the computer industry to protect itself from
crackers: it would basically destroy this ability. The reason is that by
and large the entire industry relies, for protection, on the kinds of
activity this proposed treaty seeks to outlaw.
This is counterproductive legislation at its worse.
Also of concern is the perceived tendency to take rights away from
individuals and invest them solely in the government. Without a
doubt, crackers would circumvent laws arising from this treaty by
discussing exploits using encryption. Would encryption then be
outlawed? This proposal takes an unacceptable step over the line
of violating fundamental human freedoms.

My suggestion is close to this, but I call it 'Proxy Democracy'
That is, each citizen can vote on all technicalities, but most of the time you don't want to, so you assign your vote to someone else--a proxy.
This might not affect a presidential election as much: I think we'd still need an executive branch, but with voting proxies, there would be direct citizen participation instead of one-size-fits-all "representation" from the legislative branch.
This proxy assignment could happen just a couple times a year (for stability), or it could happen continuously, kind of like the stock market, with political figures rising in power dramatically as they appealed to more and more citizens. This system has the potential to recognize and even create leadership on an important issue in virtually no time at all.
MySQL does support transactions. You can declare some tables BDB (Berkeley DB) type, which will support COMMIT/ROLLBACK, and others MyISAM type, which will be blazing fast, and use them both in a JOIN or what-have-you.
As noted on/. a few weeks ago this site compares services based on contract or price.
domainnamebuyersguide.com (the "this site") has information that is many months out of date. Considering that registration has not been competitive much longer, the site is a truly pathetic example of information rot.
Heard on NPR this morning (sorry, no URL, I hunted at several big news sites with no luck) that the investigation into CD price fixing by the RIAA has resulted in a finding that the music industry has illegally conspired to maintain artificially high CD prices.
They are sampling nano-fabricated 900MB chips on a footprint of like 5mmx15mm. They target releasing a 180GB drive this year, and a 1.4TB drive next year. All at a cost/MB cheaper than hard drives, a fraction of the operating power, 10 times the bandwidth, and no HD whine!:-)

Compare where Palm Beach falls in that plot to the one at MIT referenced in the story.

This cross-checks to CNN totals, and includes some recount data. You can verify correlations and such, if you want.
Please let me know if you find any mistakes in the data.

No, mSQL is a completely separate project. I think mySQL deliberately started as a superset of mSQL, but other than that, there's no relation.

Agreed. I did as well.
