I don't really like the idea of more regulations and more potential ways to get sued, but I do like the idea of less spam so how about these steps in this direction:
-Get rid of the government Post Office. Allow free competition while enforcing property rights (delivery without consent is trespassing/littering). Depending on the interplay of new competition and the Post Office's current capacity to price services correctly maybe the price for these types of mailings goes up and they become less common. - Perhaps part of this new competition involves mail delivery services that as a way of getting your service (you having a mail box that allows their company to put things in) they filter this junk out for you. - Make it clear under what terms delivery services are allowed to put things in your mailbox, anything else is littering or something. I don't know if you can currently refuse large amounts of junk mail from the USPS, but if more people put this junk in a huge box and left it out and the deliverer was required to pick it back up perhaps that would cut down on this. Make refusing to similar to litter.
On the landline side, perhaps tech solutions like phones that hook into the data from Report Spam in Google Voice can help there. Or more deregulation in phone service so there are more suppliers that offer blocking spammers as a feature.
Peter Norvig (Division Chief, Computational Science at NASA) recently reviewed 4 Dynamic environments and Lisp ranked _very_ highly. Here is the review:
Blurb...
"We have repeated Precheltís study using Lisp as the implementation language. Our results show that Lisp's performance is comparable to or better than C++ in terms
of execution speed, with significantly lower variability which translates into reduced project risk. Furthermore, development time is significantly lower and less
variable than either C++ or Java. Memory consumption is comparable to Java. Lisp thus presents a viable alternative to Java for dynamic applications where
performance is important."
My Calculus, English, and Physics teachers are mong a select few in the state of Oregon developing a program called PASS. It is going to be used in the next 5 years for all of Oregon's universities, and will be more influencial than either GPA or SAT scores.
One part of the PASS program is that you turn in samples, and in the end an actual portfolio from which you are marked as proficient, exceeds, and some other things I forget. There's a failing of course but they probably use some nice word for it.
Anyway, Stanford looked at Oregon's PASS program and REALLY liked it. I wouldn't be surprised if California adopts something like this.
I'm not aware of how you learned to add, but traditionally one writes down 1 and then writes down 2 below it, a plus sign next to the 2 and then draws a line and adds the two numbers. This is exactly how it is in RPN.
your performance on the voodoo3 is probably lacking because you current BeOS (5) doesn't have hardware OpenGL. They are rewriting the OpenGL implementation and it is due out real soon now.

"If, for once, you could release software without releasing the source code for everyone to copy, I'm sure there would be several perfectly legitimate (and legal) Linux DVD programs by now."
This is total BS. There are Linux apps that do not release the source code (i.e. Quake III). I know lots of linux users that would flock to a dvd player, even a commercial one.
The reason there are no DVD players for linux is not because there tends to be a lot of open source software available for it.
just had to point out that Square used Allegro Common Lisp for the movie. The link below has a nice discussion about why they chose Common Lisp and has a picture of the cool photo realistic computer graphics they have in the movie.

umm, the CEO of Be Inc has already said that they will NOT open source the kernel. This was right after they open sourced the tracker and deskbar.
All the beos guys talk about how their getting their networking rewrite and opengl. THAT IS SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT? Its the year 2000 and your bragging about getting networking and opengl? Give me a freakin BREAK!!!
BeOS is a great OS, but it has a company who is more interested in BeIA and it is closed source so the users really have ABSOLUTELY no control over where it is going.
Some might say that the company will take the OS where the users want it to go. This is wrong, because I know that the vast majority of BeOS users wanted the company to stick with regular computer systems rather then internet appliances. Be is just like other companies. They go where the money is and could careless about what their customers want.
I am not sure whether you will be able to answer this due to the lawsuits and stuff, but I guess I will just ask anyway. What I am really interested in his how you cracked the encryption. I have heard that you reverse engineered it, but what does this entail? Any chance you can write a very descript explanation of how you cracked the encryption?
