I'm choosing to see this as a sign that the end times are near. There are still plenty of smart people at google, but someone started letting idiots in, too.
Yes, exactly. This happened on August 19, 2004, the date of the Google IPO.

Bush plans to reorganize the various Departents so that instead of each Department being overseen by a single Secretary, now all the various deparments will be directed by a unified Cabinet Board of Directors. This is being done to facilitate cross-departmental communications and to better defend our country against the terrorists.
The Board will consist of Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condaliza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz and Carl Rove. They will serve on the Board until we win the War On Terror.
I, for one, welcome our new Secretary Overlords. Heil Bush! Please make sure you have your papers ready.
Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats will bring back the draft. In fact, that bill was killed weeks ago. The Republicans from the Prez on down have said there will be no draft.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, it's unconstitutional in the US to have arbitrary monetary systems besides the dollar.
You are mistaken. Although the Constitution gives the federal government the power to coin money, its power is not exclusive. In fact, until the mid-1800's there were a number of private currencies in existence.
Regarding your other points that I snipped: a silver-backed currency, whatever its faults, is still better than a fiat-currency. That's the whole points. The dual-currency problem *is* a problem, to be sure, but a number of people judge that the advantages outweigh them.

DAY 2: Manager: How many lines of code did you write today? Developer: One.
Day 3: Manager: How many lines of code did you write today? Developer: One. Manager: Are you telling me that in three days you've only mangaged to write three lines of code? Developer: You don't understand -- I've been working on the same line of code all three days. Manager: (pauses) You're writing in perl again, aren't you?

Ohhhh... You mean you forked the project.
That's stupid.

Do we really need a computer to tell us what music we like to listen to?
The computer says... YES
Please tell me my emails are not used as bad examples!
There would be major overpopulation if people were to live that long...
Thanks for the insight, Mr. Logan's Run.

I realised that while there's Gmail, there's no Gmessenger or similar as far as I'm aware. ... yet.
The sensible case, rather than the strawman case, does not require all software to be built by licensed professionals
In theory, yes. In practice, almost never the case.
When is the last time you went to an unlicensed professional in a "licensed" profession whom you did not personally know?
I agreed with almost all of what he said, except for the "applauding" of the concept of licensing software developers. Boo! Hiss!

I'm running WinXP & FC3 dual boot right now. I installed WinXP first, resized the partition, installed FC3. No Problems.
Eliminate the Democrats and Republicans!
But this is slashdot! What does this thing you call "journalistic tradition" have to do with slashdot?
Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats will bring back the draft. In fact, that bill was killed weeks ago. The Republicans from the Prez on down have said there will be no draft.
The interview was probably done before the vote. However, you may want to read this: Do you believe the Demopublican rhetoric about the draft?
USA seem more and more like a police state.
Where are you now? As bad as things are now, wait till the baby boomers start retiring in about 10 years, and watch things *really* go all to hell.
Unless we change course in a drastic way and soon, leaving the country will be a compelling, if not necessary choice.
So, are we talking about a copyright, a trademark, or a patent?
Yes.
The solution as I see it is to deny (for a particular class of) users the ability for them to install anything in the first place.
