Agreed. Look at these particularly stupid statements:
(1) "devise technology that makes it difficult or impossible for people to be defrauded"
So some sort of mind control/constraint device for people then? Ha, ha.
(2) "At the moment we have drivers licences for cars, and cars are very dangerous machines. Computers are also quite dangerous"
Haven't seen anyone run over by a computer recently. I wonder what is the death toll caused by poor "driving" of a computer these days?
blatant plagiarizing is breathtakingly stupid

A duo of breathtakingly stupid statements:
(1) "devise technology that makes it difficult or impossible for people to be defrauded"
Oh right. So some sort of mind control/constraint device for people then?
(2) "At the moment we have drivers licences for cars, and cars are very dangerous machines. Computers are also quite dangerous"
Haven't seen anyone run over by a computer recently. What exactly is the death toll caused by poor "driving" of a computer these days?
"Between Oct. 1, 2008, and Aug. 11 of this year, Customs and Border Protection officers processed more than 221 million travelers at U.S. borders and searched about 1,000 laptops, of which 46 were "in-depth" searches, the Homeland Security Department said."
I wonder if the other 954 laptops required passwords for login...
I have some doubts that the recipient of a 4.1 million dollar software contract would provide it's source code to a group of high school "computer science students." That is pretty funny though. I'm picturing a bunch of skinny jeans-wearing kids with floppy hair "working out the bug."
Anyone with a moderate level of intellect or cultural lituracy will disregard this as being the product of a dolt in HR. I cannot imagine that any of the trainees would change his/her view of the legality of downloading media based on this training.
This poor fella made his living milking the legal system via trickery. Unfortunately for him, collections agencies are more more cut and dry and humorless.
Wait until you receive your first picture message from a septuagenarian... you will quickly realize that you are in the minority of cell phone users who long for the phone portion of a cell phone to be in the forefront.
I've got Jackalope running on my old Inspiron 9300...everything runs, and quickly. I do have an issue with the screen brighness from time to time, and the volume control is iffy.
To stick with your analogy, I turned my Fiesta into a Mustang with a shot washer fluid pump and a hole in the muffler.
First step. Get a good lawyer (who understands tech) and a good accountant. Protect yourself and your property; you and your employees can focus on what you do best.
I think you really hit the nail on the head. The overhead that would be required to keep such a system fresh would be unreasonable in most arenas. K-12 would be an absolute nightmare to train/support; college would be nearly as bad. All things said, I don't see an open-source system getting rid of the same collusion that exists in today's education systems. Same rules at play, merely different delivory methods.
And yes, educators are just as lazy as students...especially once some level of job security is present.
If that is indeed the ultimate objective, the partner situation just got far more interesting than at fist glance...Mobile Office support for a Linux based mobile OS seems like a more reasonable finish line than trying to get in bed with Symbian.

nice try though

Next up...ridiculously large front-wheeled bicycle speed record.

Or Microsoft and the Association for Competitive Technology...

This is all I will hear about at work now. At least Avitar had a two day run as top conversation topic...

Nice try, but I'll continue to pass. For what it is worth, egotastic keeps me up (unintentional pun) with the only celebrity news that is worthwhile.
...what is the deal with all of those Tribbles?
I foresee a bunch of very angry and utterly confused "life starts at DNA" people.
Yeah, until the fuel runs out. I'm pretty sure that with solar panels, the sun never runs out.
I'm 100% sure you are wrong.

PRAY...FOR...MOJO
I sure wouldn't make a strategic move that hinges on Symbian coming out on top of the mobile OS market.
...Palm is still obsolete as my old PDA from 1999. Boo.
how humerus
Try to play a (post N-64) Bond game and tell me with a straight face that Hollywood should be involved in gaming.
Nicely played...I cannot see a 5-function calculator without plugging in 5318008 and turning that sucker upside down.
bitboost.com's PawSense is available for Windows 95/98/ME, NT, 2000, XP, and Vista....I guess that pretty much eliminates everyone here.
