footnote 1: usually, if something is "perfect" or in other words, a singularity, mathematically it has have existed from the beginning. So, real black holes might exist, but only in places where they were from the beginning.
footnote 2: the other theory what would happen to a ship that successfully conducted a perfect philadelpia experiment would be that it ended up in its own little universe - without a decent source of power to pop out again.
Not sure that this is one of his arguments, but I always wondered whether space time would't bend faster ( slowing down time ) in the presence of more gravity such that you could never observe a black hole from the outside, only matter that comes closer and closer to the event horizon, never quite reaching it.
Same thing as for the astronauts twins.. (http://www.phys.virginia.edu/classes/252/srel_twi ns.html)
the astronaut will not age at all when hitting the schwarzchild radius, so a black hole would be perfect if it existed.. And rate of slowdown of time is sqrt(1-v/c).. which is the same effect that prevents matters from reaching light speed.
Interestingly, this effect seems to be like the doppler effect for sound waves.
Continue thinking along that line, that would mean you can't go past light speed because that would mean breaking invisible links that existed between matter.
Continuing that thought, you might be able to go above light speed if you could make yourself completely invisible from all or most forces and other emissions, like light waves.
No idea how you could do that - so its just replacing one riddle by one that isn't much easier.
Now to continue daydreaming, that would also explain what happened at the philadelphia experiment - the ship cloaked, someone sneezed, and they ended up somewhere else - most likely in outer space.
I should end this with a REALLY funny note, but I got none.

This seems to me as nothing less than a version of the Inquisition.
It seems the US lawmakers see congress as nothing but a big game of Nomic.

It's a good argument in situations like port scanning, accessing files that were not intended to be there, accessing that ftp server at the 5agon that was accidently set up to allow logins by anonymous ftp, and simple things like deleting the last part of a URL to see what other stuff is in the directory tree.
The catch in your argument is that hackers usually don't just look through open windows or press buttons but rather have to go to real length to get into the system - this is more like breaking thru a wall with a bulldozer or breaking the glass over the fire alarm (gee these fire alarms are soo tempting.).
I read that, with some kind of trojans( like M$ Windows:-P ), you can chat with the owner of the machine. It is a good question whether a machine that is already compromised by a trojan shouldn't be considered fair prey or a public meeting place - simple because the software on the machine doesn't act much different than napster, gnutella or icq. I don't argue that installing the trojan without the owners consent in the first place is illegal.
To put it another way, hell, what if Cmdr. Taco suffered of amnesia and suddenly accused us all of hacking his webserver over port 80, abusing it and clogging its drive ?
Why should he check their security for free while other hackers don their white hat only after becoming rich and IN ?
It won't even be blackmail if the guy kept cool and stuck to the "advising" thing in his language.
What the courts can charge him for is for illegally cracking the site.
The most interesting ones are:
US 5706309 and
US 5742735.
Both claim working in the "the frequency domain".
Ogg uses wavelets and especially mentions on it's homepage that these techniques effectively differ a lot.
These means Ogg can probably stand up easily in court. Of course you could pick a single claim out of the patents and sue for that( for example "adaptively using mathematical standard method X on topic Y", but eventually that won't work out ( I think ).

if you put the inner wheel into motion, the outer wheel will spin into the opposite direction,
thus increasing the relativous mass of the outer wheel( thats your hull ).
I'm not sure how "relative mass" (the extra mass you get when spinning up the inner disc) reacts to acceleration from outside.
Here is how it would work: Trap (exchange motion energy with) particles moving in one direction, and turn the other particles moving in the wrong direction into energy which is blasted into space.
Well I guess this way you still loose reaction mass, just not in the form of matter; that is you can accelerate the matter lost to light speed.
It's not even original:
That is how the concept of the antimatter drive works;
A giant mirror behind which meeting of matter and antimatter emits a ray of light which pushes the spaceship forward.
It would be nice if the hacker included the fix to the problem in the virus.
That would make quite an improvement in "hacker ethics".
Brainstorming mode: the might even be a way to talk yourself out of legal prosecution if you do it this way, since you could claim that these security holes could be used to D(istributed)DoS your system, and you are just fixign them "in hot pursuit":-P
It may be illegal for them to encrypt the kernel and charge for their api since they probably made changes to software that is free and under a viral license.
If someone tries to prove this point he practically has to hack the box.
This actually shows the idiocy of the DMCA: if DMCA forbids you to look at stuff - how to find out whether some other guy violated your (copy)right if you can't look under the hood ?
I' know "flamebait". C'mon moderate me down, Man.

FSF Europe Founded

· Score: 2
"You cannot sign your program up under FSF Europe License because there is only one license.. the GNU License. Creating a license that might be governed by a different law made in Europe is creating un free software."
Result: FSF Europe cannot be different from FSF. Just a club.
At the moment we would consider life alien if from another planet than earth inside the solar system, to throw something new in, the asteroids might come from the breakup of a big planet.
This is the same idea as the network pc that downloads its software from the net - interesting that M$ implements what they laugh about when an opponent utters it.
Who owns a domain is a public record.
You need an open database to be able to trust it - otherwise, how could you know it was not being tampered with ?
I don't believe commercial spamming is a problem - owners of domains in general are much more dangerous when fighting spammers than the general audience.
I believe the Maintainers of RIPE right now just want to hold the copyright in order to void a split(someone copying their service) - however,
there may be good reasons to have competition on the field.
That is the theory. But someone will have to put up a fight for this issue in 20 years, because the company might actually try to heap a new patent on the old once they discover the purpose of the gene.
That might read like "Way a Method of using gene TCGA (see patent USP648164678) to produce neurotransmitter GCAKJD."
IMHO, the patent offices should put out the red flag and simply declare they are just there for registering patent claims, instead of validating them - something which is a difficult job.
