people already stay connected even when working at a curstomers' office
tomorrow they will also work remotely, from home
why do you need offices for 1000 people when most of them can work efficiently online and only gather a few days per month ?
then why not gather in a virtual world ? with virtual meeting room ? second life for corporations ? of course it wont be as second life, it must be both more user friendly for Joe Average and less "fun"
I was under the impression that experiments in public places didn't require the explicit consent of each unwitting participant
this raises the question : "when connected online with other people, are you in public space or private space ?"
* when online, i (presumably) am at home, in private space
* only a part of my self & conscious is in relation with other people (the same if i am telephoning)
therefore it can be seen as a huge private phone conversation ?
after all there are regulations & debates worldwide regarding online privacy and what can be and cannot be done
also the answer has repercusions on marketing (can you advertise), on law enforcement (can you be "watched" upon), on free speech (can a journalist report your statements without your consent because said in "public")...
finally, it can be a private or public space but it can also be defined as a new type of "environment". This can lead to give such virtual world its autonomy and own regulations.

Seems to me that following statement is still faulse:
"Nowadays, most institutions have a review board for research on human subjects which would flag most proposals that could lead to harm for the subjects, but not so in the past"

When companies make huge profits, they fire thousands because next years competition will be nastier (so they say).
Well when records companies make money, that means piracy is destroying their revenues and they don't forget to reduce artists royalties by the way.

In Windows 2008 server
IP6 and IP4 can coexist,
also does Vista.
Even more, you can have
IP6 over IP4.
Question : is W2008 really an answer to IP shortage ?
or is IP4 solution to Microsoft to sell W2008 ?
I am surprised by the coincidence the news come out when W2008 is live.
you sure are right
question is what do this kind of company face when their claim is dismissed ?
they did cost money to society & other companies
is this abusive behaviour penalized ?
I could sue you for assaulting me, if i lied or plot I face severe penalties.
what do these abusive companies face ?
putting abusive people in jail would make them think twice
they cost money to other companies, but also to state and law
how can tribunal tolerate such behaviour and not fine a big toll ?
When a corp looses data, what do they face ? Justice is harsh on thoose who do not follow law, will white house face the same ?
