Welcome to the world of business. It isn't a bunch of college students sitting around coding or making links on their webpage to whales blowing up. It always seems that sooner or later the old guy who has all the business sense becomes the CEO of the company. Look at theglobe.com. All I heard about was the 18 year-olds who started the company and see a 50 year old man as head now. It's sad how everything just gets convoluted in the red tape of the stock market (make that ticker tape).
To get to the point, projects will always get to the "business" point sooner or later, and one has to be prepared and have that in mind. Nothing will go anywhere in North America (well widely distributed) without it. TV and the NET will only go so far, so learn to live with how projects will go. If you can work with the consequences (as Carmack and Gates have seen), and I use the word consequences because most hate all the legal BS, we might get somewhere and get through all the complaining about this-and-that.

They should have hooked up a water cooling system to the PVC pipe model. Get the whole shebang in one shot. Or, like something out of Scary Movie, maybe make a bong...

I believe that there isn't really a problem with second-hand explosives residues. If someone has been handing explosives, the residues would be much greater than a person who just touched that person. There would be ways of telling for sure. Tolerances would be set pretty high as well for airports, else someone who had just fertilized the garden would be carted away.
Boy, that last sentence reads like a control sturcture. Wierd.

I read a book by Oliver Sacks a few years back entitled An Anthropologist on Mars (Robin Williams protrays him in the movie Awakenings). The book contains several essays devoted to strange medical phenomenon; one of these essays is with respect to colourblindness.
In the first essay Sacks writes of a 65 year old painter who has an accident and finds out he is completely colourblind. To add to the frustration of not seeing in colour, he cannot even think in colour. The patient found that colourful objects were unpleasant and sometimes glaring. Also, since the man was a painter, this problem was of great importance. Sacks creates a great portrait of the trials this man must endure due to his curious affliction. He delves deep into the psychological impacts on the painter and medical knowledge on other, similar cases of colourblindness. He also presents copious amounts of medical information, but in an easy to understand manner. Pick up the book, it is a fantastic read and there are picture comparisons of the colourblind man's paintings before and after the accident. The book also contains six other essays with regard to other medical phenomenon, and Sacks is a fantastic writer!

I feel real ashamed saying this, but having the code on a t-shirt still is distribution. It still is a copy of the code. Why should the code be on paper, in a text file, or compiled? I have no clue what the law defines a distributed piece of code is, but I believe t-shirts are one. This is not to say that I don't believe in DeCSS; hell I'm all for it. I'm just looking at it from the point of view of the trial and what is related to the distribution. I could use the analogy of putting explicit pictures on paper, in a jpg, and on a t-shirt. Is the t-shirt not considered smut (don't take my words out of context please)?
I hope that the DeCSS win, as this is just control. Until that time though we can't all get what we want, even though we try.

The title was a bit misleading. It sounded like someone had opened a pack of saltines and all hell broke lose. Homer would have been proud. Bit disappointing. I think a pack of crackers instead of a hacker would have been great!
I've been monitoring Alan Cox's diary on his site (www.linux.org.uk) and it's been a long time coming. Seems the trees are merging and him and Linus are working on the final touches. Will be great when it's stable.

I saw a story on the Daily Show about an inventor who made this for gay couples in the states. Same sort of idea. Makes meeting men easier I guess. The interviewer really ripped up the inventor on his sexuality; not that there's anything wrong with that.
