Well, legally, what you are suggesting, is called "hot pursuit" - to go after the one who hacks your system.
However, I do not see where and why you make a distinction between the author of the Cheese worm, because this is exactly what the Cheese worm author is doing - chasing down all other systems that try to lock into his system.
In postgresql, for example, if you want you can distinguish every entry by its oid(object id). You can have multiple equal entries, like in a standard CS bag datastructure if you feel you need it.
Consider the situation where you usually will search a transaction database by date and time and name of the transactand(sp?). While it is highly likely there will be no two transaction at the same time, it is possible. So what do you do ? Introduce some id number which is simply counted up in a sequence.
I can see no theoretical merit at all in this practice. Ok, in practice it works, but in practice you can also work with oids.
It seems to me that FileMaker is a tool to easily do a quick and dirty database access. As such, it should be used in-house, not by a company you pay to work with databases.
It seems, sometimes clients just ask for bad code. If you do good code and documentation, make sure your client knows it and is willing to pay for the extra effort.
Theoretically, I think that if you set up a freenet client/server on one of your own machines with some TB of cache memory, and maybe automate browsing for content acquisition, you could turn your own machine into an archive for content easily.
There is really a difference between sharing music with a few friends you know(Aimster, in theory), and between sharing it with millions of people you don't know(Napster).

Well, querying the web, I found that imatix actually has something remotely related.. . Since I run their ftp+webserver for personal use for free, I might as well put up the link here.
An completely other route, and about the only route where other studies than CS make an effect, is to be interested in history, since knowledge about history is what is needed to make scenarios.
Remember the/. news about the FBI hacking russian hackers computers ?
Remember the audio and ascii emissions of US
government entities about how vulnerable the US are in cyberspace and should prepare for it ?
Really makes you wonder who will start the first cyberwar. I think the US. After that we'll see letters of marque getting issued against the US.
People should be grateful for the warnings
from the script kiddies before the 37337 arrives.
For me, for a long time, StarCraft was the only thing running on Wine.
My theory is the developers of Wine went off playing StarCraft after the emulator worked.
Now it seems Wine is gettign better - maybe the StarCraft gamers have grown up and out of the game.
News(San Francisco): Student jumps from bridge and lives. He was quoted as saying: I'll sue CounterStrike for this! I got the idea to jump from playing the "vertigo" map - it is so much fun to jump out of the window.
How about the line: "Playing Quake as a kid taught me what bullets and grenades do to flesh and bone and I knew damned well that I would regret hurting a person like that."
Well you get more room for agriculture ..

Performance is not everything - you really want to have a language you can develop in fast.
There are at least 3 styles you can use servlets: by themselves, with html in strings inside java, with the html in the jsp or with the html inside a class model, like org.apache.jakarata.ECS .
How the database is accessed, and how you can implement a database (caching) layer is another important performance issue.
Each style would merit its own performance review,
and its owb assessment of coding speed and style.
You get would one file hello.jsp, one java class for some Bean to transport data to the jsp, and one servlet class that fills the bean and then displays the jsp.
At least that is the jsp code I get to read usually.
All of these 3 files eventually wind up in different directories, adding so much overhead to development that I am not convinced that servlets+jsp is an effective way to build web sites.
It [java] is much neater, so you have a higher chance that the code is re-usuable, but as I see it, code usually gets rewritten rather than studied anyway.
The easiest way to GPL compatibility is to release the code as dual license, under GPL.
If the only problem really is that CNRI doesn't want to be sued, the easy way to do this for CNRI is to license python to someone who takes the risk to be sued, for example our friend Zooko, who then releases it under GPL.
Maybe, this ceremony would have to be repeated every release of python.

This means it will take some time before lawmakers in every country will pass a law that implemements the directive, and in some countries maybe even in a sensible way.
The whole directive as drafted can be easily turned against itself (completely legally). Unfortunately, it would not be cool if I revealed this before the laws get passed. Contact me by email if you want to know.

I also found Fujitsu Cobol for the Web.
If DVD is copyprotection, then what keeps me from copying the entire DVD bit by bit in encrypted form and publishing it on the internet ?
Apparentely, since it is copyprotected by CSS, nobody can use it - we are just transmitting useless data for fun.

What can I do about this ? Write my congressman ?
I especially like the line about guaranteeing privacy to the pc sellers that give away the names of companies who ask for clean pc's.
If you bring 2 million venture capital I'll show you why.
you can't fake proxy files. NO WAY.
Also, the search space soon will be exhausted IMHO.

I am sure once the Sureplayer really takes off, it will use ogg vorbis encodigns as well.
In addition, Sureplayer is paralysed because better encoding formats are patented and require a license fee.

It is supposed to be as fast as Resin. Probably means they use similar techniques.

You should be able to buy the remaining assets of the company for a dollar and the cost of shipping. Don't know if this would help any, though.
