Such a system would be fine but if, it'd also offer for a minimal (or better : null) fee the possibility to "unpatent" inventions, in order to publish some invention in the public domain, it'd be a GOOD idea.
I am sorry if you consider I meant all of abstract art. I actually only meant the extreme works. I am a great fan of Jackson Pollock. Now, Baudelaire did indeed write poems about ugly things. But these poems wer really well written (the verses were well constructed and the whole thing wasn't some kind of write-on-impulse chaos but rather sweriously built up lyrics.).
When I was younger, J.R. Ewing was supposed to be the typical example of "evil capitalist". Now, he indeed seems to have been obsoleted. But don't take it wrong : in Europe, we had loads of similar examples : Paris'Mayor's wife who got 10000's of dollars for a few dozen pages bugous report, France former Prime Minister, Edith Cresson, who was proven guilty of sharing European money with her dentist, etc. So, well, it is not typically American, this is just typically global.
Esthetics meter: Have you read "Goedel Escher Bach" ? In this book, Douglas Hofstadter defines language as "asynchronous crystals" : proof of intelligence, if you prefer. Now, if you have a pile of fat or a dead pig, it'll be kinda hard to take it as someone's intended creation. Hence the 0%. If it comes with a sign that reads "Our sins", then, on the other hand, it might have a serious ethical meaning. Now, also, if you see a perfect geometric figure on a sheet of paper, then it'll be esthetically meaningful : it has been worked by a human. But if it's called "circle", then, it has no meaning.
Of course, your mileage may vary but I hope you found some ethical meaning in my "bullshit".
Does that qualify as abstract? Yep : it is conceptual rather than esthetical. The method of creation of this conceptual art could however be art, it depends if the pigs'death or the bus wreckage were part of a choregraphy or not... But in this case, we still agree : the choregraphy may be art, not the corpses.

You could also consider consider the Magritte approach, by putting a page like: <H1>this is not ART</H1>
I personally like the pragmatic logic approach: art is always composed of both an ethical and an esthetical aspect. Should one be missing, the result would not be art. Exemples:
Constructivism : 100% esthetic, 0% ethics
Abstract art : 0% esthetic (Have you seen Joseph Beuys piles of fat, in the Stuttgart modern art museum ?) 100% ethics.
I read about many submitters whose announcement about this had been rejected, these days. I guess that "they" finally considered it was worth publishing. OK, now one question: Are the graphics, music, etc. free to use too ?
Blair doesn't have class. He's a polo-wearing ruffled populist red neck. If I had to vote for him, I'd expect him to be wearing decent clothes and to smell more than just cheap perfume : he's a g8 country leader, for Christ's sake !
MS-DOS was actually usable and could standby for days... Win9* are the garbage. They were intended to run on top of OS/2 (Presentation Manager), not on top of a 16bit monotasking OS.

Trolling used to be art, you just made it a bad habit.
France is more corrupt than the USA ;-)
:
it's because it is more expensive to buy a new law in France
about trannsparency.org, I'd quote Banky, in "J&SB strike back"
That's what the Internet is for, slandering others anonymously.

OK, now one question
Are the graphics, music, etc. free to use too ?
You want to feed turkeys with oil ??? 8-/
Well, the question is no more about whether XML sucks or doesn't : the question is whether "that woman" sucked or not :)

Unfortunately, Apple haven't given any details about what to expect from Panther, but after Jaguar this looks promising.
Why does it look promising, then ?
Let's wait until it is available, then decide if it's worth paying the update cost.
OK, Jaguar is cool, but I own an iBook and I am just afraid OSX++ could require too much resources from my white DA.
I'd personally want Sharp to produce a better battery for my Zaurus : 1hour is unacceptable. If I had to make this choice, I'd take a Zire. :-(

Ah, yes : since they deliver public Betas...

How about eatable RFID embedded in food, someone ?
I don't care as I live near the 45th parallel :-)
ergo: they pay you to help you doing your job ?

Actually, this has been discussed here long ago, but iBooks have a really good bang-for-the-buck ratio...

It depends on which Sunfire you are talking about, the v100 is a 1u rack which has around as much RAM as a PC...
