I'd have a little kid looking sad... then zoom out to a worried mother... and then have a voice over going "pr0n spam got you down.... turn that frown... INTO CASH" with blinking "$$$" with the mother holding 10 dollar bills. After the mother, there'd be a 5 second zoom in on Master P's face with his big gold teeth showing. Then he'd tell everyone how to cash in on the spam craze. Oh that silly, silly Master P. He know the low down on all the shiznat!
This expenditure would do nothing then most likely hog court time for real valid claims (like a malpractice suite against a doctor) and make a terribly inefficient justice system more inefficient then it already is. Not only that, but this law is horrible to enforce, because most spammers I'm familar with (yes I actually know some in real life - they're nice guys!) spoof their IP's and reroute their spam from non-US smtp servers. So it ends up looking like the spams from another country and I'm sure it's enough to confuse joe-blow computer user who was hoping to get 10 dollars for getting spam. But how would a normal computer user even know if he was getting a spam from a person in colorado? I mean, this law only is valid in Colorado, correct, so spam from the other 49 states has no consequences?
I mean, laws like these are the first step in eliminating spam -- and our right for free speech. Like it or not, democracy and capatalism are about marketting and money, and we all have had our share of spam in real life (door salesmen, spam in snail mail). I don't believe that just because it causes a slight inconvienence, spam should be eliminated with the cost of inching us closer to the decrement of our personal liberties.
dW: OK, now let's talk about Linux. How do the new Amiga and Linux work together?
McEwen: For the development systems that are out, Linux is required. As we move forward, we can run the new Amiga OS on custom hardware, embedded Linux, or a Linux desktop environment -- a lot of it has to do with the partner we're working with. That's when you can view the flexibility; we can go native [on custom hardware], or we can utilize Linux.
No, you forget Edison, Telsa, Westinghouse, Babbage, and countless other scientists who were purely in it for the MONEY. Science, like religion, is based on greed. These scientists made it their business to make some affordable, practical, and most importantly - PROFITABLE.
As far as science being a philosophy, I don't believe that's true. I think scientific findings can lead to new philosophies or the development of one's own look on life, but there are no real SCIENCE PHILOSOPHIES. Scientific reasoning and logic, the Socratic methods are ways of thinking, but by themselves are a 3 legged chair in terms of supporting its own philosophical beliefs. Oh well, just my 2 cents =)
How they can spend 10 paragraphs saying how it works and not 1 paragraph explaining how it will actually help us or what the development means for practical use. The one thing I hate about scientists is they do-diddle around the fact that their experiments have some far-off (in terms of technology progress or time) implications or don't really help us at all at the present, and they often fail to rationalize it with laymans so their discoveries/invention don't get the recognition they deserve. But maybe these ultra small barings can help robots walk on two legs.

Uh yah it's fairly simple. Get 3 monitors, and turn on MULTIPLE MONITORS in the MONITOR CONTROL PANEL. Need anymore help scholarship winner?
