Google guys have had their billion (in paper still I think) for less than a year. Red hat-- which billionaire from RH are you talking about Jobs -- look closer. And he is nowhere in the same league as Gates.
Ellison -- do not bother looking closer. This is the only one that validates your argument.
Do you know what would happen to the Chinese economy if it refused to sell X to the US?

The folks smart enough to figureout the spam filters would not be clicking on spam messages in the first place. So who is this book addressing? Is this providing a tech solution to a social problem?
I agree with the original post -- this is not 'stopping spam'.
It is only in the software industry because it is easy for one to find fault with little to no risk on your initial investment (price of software). If you try to test a Chevy in particular situations, you can hurt your bank balance pretty bad after a few tests.
Are you claiming SS wrote all this (/created all of this from scratch?). If rehashing pre-told SCIFI was fair game you can include AI and Minority Report.
That way, Kubrick has more of a claim to make it there -- he set the tone for many scifi (/fantasy) flicks to follow.
If you read the article, it is not the local bad people that are behind this planning. It is the Bad people from across the border -- the same guys that US considers its right arm in the war against terror.
Work is outsourced; terrorism is also outsourced -- it is like moving conflict to a screen further away.

This is true of any bureaucracy. And the first task of any bureaucracy is to perpetuate itself. And the easiest way to do it is by doing its job very slllloooowwwwly. You can observe it in any part of the world.
That said, reined-in bureaucracy is just a little more efficient way of functioning than total anarchy (rule of might; Bihar eg). So we stick with the existing system.
I think/. has a policy to post just BN or Amazon links (they have a tie up). So even if the author put in some other link, the/. editors change it to a BN/Amazon link.
Considering how their different versions do not play well together, it would be a grand feat if the port to a different OS retains the exact quirks and features that it has on windows.
(Expanding on) The real story here... To be outsourced to a low-cost, low-contribute maintenance outfit 14 hours away, you must thoroughly understand what you are doing and how to train others to do it for you cheaply. If you scarcely understand it, there is no hope that newbies will be able to get it!

Yes: setting up a Moon base presents problems that are several dimensions/magnitudes removed from the Columbus voyage. That does not mean it cannot be done.
However _does_ it need to be done is a question that needs to be answered. Same with Antarctic colony - if there were {insert_favourite_pot_of_gold_here} in the Antarctic, some one would have done the legwork to settle there.
Once we as a species realise that our destiny is in space, we will colonise Mars/Moon. If we somehow get what we want with unmanned missions, then that too will be done.

Okay let us create an account B for GBuy; account M for GMail; account T for gtalk; O for orkut. That should work and be compartmentalised. Right?
No. Now OP receives GBuy email in B -- and has to login as B to see what is going on. Wants to hang out on orkut -- logout and login again.
Either do a lot of cookie-editor plugin dancing or just stick to having one GCompartment for all!!
Insightful??

Novell is probably talking about corporate desktops. The 'no hassles' media player would not be a top item for this user profile.

Please stop comparing software to cars.
Thanks for a well laid out post. Could you clarify a couple of things:
1) Haven't we been around for more than 100,000 years?
2) How can you fit in 25K generations into 100K years? Probably you meant 2.5K generations.
>> In physics, do we say that force is about equal to mass times acceleration?
Heisenberg said so. He said that about velocity -- velocity is even easier to calculate than accelaration.
Choosing a Hindi God to worship might put you in the bad books of other language Gods.

Works with many other groups.

I see your point.
However FOSS will not (by itself) cause feeding/immunisation. But it could be one of the things that aid the process. Propreitary s/w may help too

Actually "problem escalation" is of recent vintage.
Usually prices/hostilities/tensions escalate.
