Everybody in this thread is forgetting that in Star Trek teleportation, the original subject is NOT destroyed, just "dissassembled", while in a "containment ring field", or in other words:
step 1. create a cylindric field around the subject, which is a "stasis" field, i. e., time is frozen or semi-frozen inside the field
step 2. disassemble every single particle inside the field, accounting for it
step 3. generate the same space warp field that you use to propell the ship faster-than-light between the source and target space areas, making your particles stay in all the space at the same time
step 4. reassemble all the particles. they don't have speed, because you are in a stasis field, time is frozen.
step 5. unfreeze time.
now, the clone thing (a.k.a. Tom Riker, Evil Capitain Kirk, etc)... these, in the fiction, are caused by "echoes" of the original that are recreated, using energy from the transporter or the warp field or whatever...
Man, I envy you for having a bright Clié, but being the bearer of a 4-yo, 8MiB Palm, I say that: auto-scrolling rules! plucker rules! especially at bedtime! I just put the thing on auto-scroll, sleep in 4 min, and there I go... if I dont back-scroll from time to time, I have dozed off and then it shuts down, not far away from where I have left it... as simple as a book and better (at least, to me)...
And what would you do when people recompiled their kernel with the newest vanilla kernel from Linux (or, better yet, some -ac -aa etc patch) and installed it in their development boards? kill them? I really didn't get your point here.
with modded hardware. dammit, I'l mod it myself if I have to.
That's not even considering all of the software that you won't be able to run, some of which you might actually need.
au contraire, I'll be able (thru hardware emulation and similar stuff, besides de mods) to run more software than today. And furthermore, many programmers will get so slack in doing stuff (the system is already secure, right?:) that all hacking will be far easier.
Hey, you published the stuff in the Web, right? You had the work to get an HTTP server up and running (or leased one), put the right files in the right dirs, and voila... there were your pages. So, that's it. Now, to the information to be un-published, you have to take special steps (opt-out).
hehehe... until it's found by the borg, who will fix it, assimilate it, and N'R finds the U.S.S. Enterprise in the 22nd century... oh, sorry, it was the Voyager:-P
First: The person who linked the GPL'd code [XX] with MS's libs/using MS's headers is, if distributing, and when distributing the result, in violation of the GPL, losing, in the case, the right granted by the GPL of redistributing [XX].
Second: GPL is not untested. Ask Mr. Eben Moglen. Don't take my word for it. This is just FUD and lies. GPL is, in fact, one of the Cleanest (TM) software licenses, legally speaking.
Third: There are issues about just any software license all the time, the Lindows GPL violation was cleared (Lindows gave away the source of their modified GPL'd software, with some restrictions, but...), and, besides that, yes, it is 100% crystal clear.
You have the right to disagree, you have the right to be wrong!
I think you've got it wrong. The Moon belongs to a guy from Chile, son of the guy who had the brilliant idea of registering the property in a notary in the 1910's or 20's... being for all purpose and lawfully the owner of it. NASA had even got an authorization from the guy in the sixties to land there. Cool, unh??:-)
what is yours, is yours, and if you built something on top of what was previously ours but you don't want it to be ours, you cannot play with the thing that was ours, that is to say, rebuild your stuff on top of other stuff.
You don't have to show everyone your code, just leave ours far from it.
I have said it once, and I say again: the solution is not political, but technological. every ReplayTV owner, hook up some filter/proxy generating artificial traffic to SonicBlue HQ and presto... GIGO:)

Good thing I never touch the flush lever. Specially in a restroom :)

Where I do live (Brazil), nationals cannot be extradicted in no case .
Which, if the proper measures are in place, should take 10min max.

no, but in uOS, you just :-)
[h@dad] upm update && upm update && upm syncbuild
and voilá.
Please, could you elaborate on this? How do I control the reassembly? via iptables? thanks...
B?
eh?
both can be used for that, opening the photos in the zv viewer, for instance, and if the webdesigner put meaningful ALTs in the IMG tags.
Of course you can live with it - until it breaks.
Then what do you replace it with?
with modded hardware. dammit, I'l mod it myself if I have to.

AND I will buy a modchip/modded version when my old PC turns into dust.

I think the problem with the study is the use of SourceForge as the source :) for the data.
no pun intended?
FP, anyway...?
I really don't understand your point. I program in Perl since perl4, and I have always considered it:
* Ultra-good awk replacement, for one-liners
* excellent language for scripting, going where m/[ba|c|k]?sh/ can't go.
* (since perl5) nice OO-language for building GOOD programs, acessing databases, generating XML, HTML, and any-other-format stuff.
* it's got GOOD huffman encoding (things you do often are concise), and I hope it will become even better in perl6.
* it's NOT AT ALL write-only. take a look at the CPAN modules. they are readable. i can read AND understand them, easily. try it out.

You are wrong in all three accounts, I'm sorry.
First: The person who linked the GPL'd code [XX] with MS's libs/using MS's headers is, if distributing, and when distributing the result, in violation of the GPL, losing, in the case, the right granted by the GPL of redistributing [XX].
Second: GPL is not untested. Ask Mr. Eben Moglen. Don't take my word for it. This is just FUD and lies. GPL is, in fact, one of the Cleanest (TM) software licenses, legally speaking.

prozilla can do it all.
I am sorry. You are wrong, wrong, and wrong.
Perhaps Enforcing the GPL Counsel Eben Morglen can enlighten you. I won't even try.
I am sorry, but I think you are wrong.
THERE IS NO INFECTION

Understood??

this, just for a small shop, where, I'm sure, one linux SMB server would do better than the 3-server cluster-down-once-a-week that we have...
