It'll be mighty tough to find a way to categorize everything as to whether it is a virus or not. For example, back orifice is touted as a 'Server Administration Tool'. Plus, so many viruses now email themselves to others without their knowledge. How can you charge these people with a crime? Also, If a person knows they have a virus, but they continue to go online although they know the virus will attempt to spread itself, does that make them outlaws? It's almost like the recent court case about the person who had AIDS, but had sex with various women anyway without telling them.
Why not set up a web server that would orbit the earth? NASA has already been able to run tcp/ip from earth to a satellite, and I doubt anything that is traveling over the earth at thousands of miles an hour is going to be subject to any sort of national law. However, this may not be the most cost effective idea, unless you sent up a huge server farm, possibly powered on solar energy.
Seriously, I cant think of any practical use for such a device, I dont know about anyone else. If you can, please reply, i'd like to hear your thoughts.
It seems these days, they are running out of things to do with the simpsons. Perhaps they should kill them off in the movie or something.:) Anyone else notice the abundance of reused jokes and bland storylines?

$1995? Isnt that a bit expensive for a 'free' OS? :P

Sure, its cool, but come on. Is society that lazy that we need a computer to dial phone numbers for us. *blech*
