You're misreading the term; "intellectual" is an adjective, not a noun. Assuming your equivalence between property and slavery is correct, enslavement of intelligence would be "intelect property". Intellectual property is property that is of the intelectual type, rather than of the physical type. Following your logic, intellectual property would be enslavement of soemthing intellectual in nature, it would not be enslavement of the intellect iself.
I've found a combination of SpamAssassin running with Postfix particularly effective. Set it up to autolearn. I use Exchange/Outlook so I set up Outlook rules to move everything with the [SPAM] subject tag into a subfolder, so users always have a copy of the spam that was caught. I also have a Spam public folder that people drop their false negatives into and I use Fetchmail to grab the messages daily and manually learn from that corpus. Set up Postfix to enforce SPF records. Having this on a different server than your mail server gives you the extra benefit of indefinitely spooling mail if your Exchange server goes down, or going directly through if the spam filter goes down. Here's a great article on setting it up: http://advosys.ca/papers/postfix-filtering.html Alternatively, MX Logic does quite a good job if you're OK outsourcing your filtering
Bruce Tognazzini headed up the Macinotsh interface team, his official was "Interface Evangelist". Anything by him will be good. I recommend "Tog on Interface," it's a series of articles he wrote on interface design.
Font matters. Size, headings versus body, when to use serifs and when not to, etc. "The PC is not a Typewriter," by Robin Williams, is a good resource for this.
She also wrote a good book on web design called "Web Design Workshop" you might like.
Interface is criminally overlooked in software design; power to you for taking the time and effort to do it right. The key point to remember: The user shouldn't have to learn anything. The interface should make it obvious how to do what needs to be done.
A few thoughts. First, a lack of user-created files and e-mails doesn't mean the computer wasn't used or is new. The owner could routinely clear his internet cache, and just use the computer for internet browsing. All e-mail could be through hotmail or gmail. This could easily account for a computer with no user-created files or e-mails. What was the install date of the system (i.e. Creation date of the windows directory)?
Second, he states in section 1 that he obtained a "disk drive image" from the plaintiff. What type of drive image? Unless it is a bit-for-bit copy of the physical disk, his "forensic inspection" abilities could be quite limited. Many drive images are simply copies of the production file system. It is much more difficult (perhaps impossible) to find deleted files and folders with these types of images. I would like to know how, aside from an empty Recycle Bin, he concluded that the P2P program and shared folder were not simply deleted and overwritten.
What has this guy actually shown? Basically that the information given to him from MediaSentry and data on the drive image do not match. This could happen for any number of reasons: MediaSentry could be wrong; the drive could have been formatted (for legitimate purposes, as stated above); the data that MediaSentry presented was deleted and his forensic analysis could not show this because he only has a data copy of the drive.
One plausible scenario: If a friend was visiting and wanted to use his owncomputer on the internet (to VPN into work). Since there was no router, he needs to plug into the ISP and take the IP address. IP's rarely change, so the friend's computer would be given the same IP as the defendant's. The friend's computer was the one with the P2P software on it, the one that MediaSentry caught. The friend left, the defendant plugged his back in to the internet, got the same IP address again. This was the drive properly given up as evidence.
Because of modern science, medicine, etc., "survival of the fittest" really isn't the issue it used to be. Not in developed nations, anyway. Not to say that we aren't evolving, but a strong case can be made that since our lives are being saved by medicine and not genetic mutation these days, the not-so-good genes won't necessarily be removed from the gene pool. It is fairly easy to make it to reproductive age with a low instinct and talent for survival in the wild.

- Ultraedit. Great text editor, sort of analogous to BBedit on the Mac.
- Trillian. Cross-protocol IM client client. Connect to AOL, MSN, and Yahoo with one app.
- Audiograbber. Rip CD's to MP3's, ogg, etc., with freedb lookup.
- Pstart. Not essential, but a nice way to launch your applications, folders, common files, etc without digging through the start menu.
- Dameware NT Utilities. General networking tools: remote control, remote administration, Magic Packet, etc.
- CompuPic. Good photo browser and simple editor.
