There's a distributed project to crypto-crack the Xbox private key. This would allow runnning Linux or anything else on an unmodified Xbox (no mod chip), and would keep the warranty intact.
Got some spare cycles and want to piss-off billg? Follow the link in my current sig. (The site is running outside DMCA-land, no worries.)
I believe there are some people experimenting with using RBLs like SPEWS to block web access. Possibly a shout on news.admin.net-abuse.email might turn up some pointers to info.
Any kind of tradeshow will automatically harvest any address you give them and sell the list. That worked for snailmail addresses because the sender still had to pay postage and materials -- so they didn't hit everyone many many times.
WebPoison has been around for a while, so I wouldn't be surprised if spamware can detect and filter wpoison pages. (Barring a wpoison tweak to fool that spamware, followed by a tweak of the spamware, etc.)
This guy memorized 100 decks of cards. (5200 cards for the 5% club.:^) I figure that every gambling place has his picture up on the wall under "Banned for Life!" (ObSimp.)
A tree or Mona Lisa? Hell, the Famous Artists school promised to make you successful if you could draw Skippy the dog. (Looked a little like that Taco Bell mutt, but decades ago.)
Searching for "Allan Snyder" found plenty of other links. Like this one. I had no problems accessing the NYT article, that link you posted seems chopped off.
Prof Snyder certainly doesn't seem to be a flake. I almost expected his "thinking cap" to be another $cientology E-meter or an Orgone box. Now, can we use it to create "Focused" individuals? (Vernor Vinge, A Deepness in the Sky.)
Umm, show me a system that actually destroys heat rather than removing it elsewhere and dissipating it. All coolers work that way. (Unless you do funky things with lasers.)
There are strange things done under the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold; Whoops, never mind...
I would love to have been a fly on the wall when the Caldera Board of Directors hired Darl McBride. I wonder if it went something like this:
Chairman: Your record certain is very impressive Mr. McBride. In closing, do you feel that there is anything else about yourself that we should know to help us with our choice? McBride: Well, I did, uh, that is.. I sued my former employer for many millions while I was working for them and won. BoD: [Many looks around the table and private whispers] Chairman: Mr. McBride.. You're hired! You're our kind of guy!
Kind of blows a huge hole in the case, doesn't it?
No. Unix7 is ancient Unix. While fun to play with, it has little relationship with modern Unix/Linux/BSD/whatever. They didn't release any of the SysV code which the whole argument is about.
Hardly, he sold the company out to a competitor for many many millions. The competitor waited a couple years and then erased it. (The fact that our largest client was Worldcom/MCI probably had nothing to do with it.:^)
Think about it. If the price of RAM soars, what happens to all those cheap portable MP3 players? Most of what they are is RAM, so add at least 44% to their price too.
This has to be the work of the RIAA! (I tried to think of a way to blame it on SCOX, I got nothing.:^)

I haven't looked at exactly how they're trying to solve it, but it seems to me that it should be possible to take a few short cuts.
It's not my project.

If they are misbehaving bots (feed them a robots.txt too), just block their IPs and don't bother being polite. (Or feed them wpoison.)

Small and purty. I still have a small temptation to go completely retro but I now think I'm being lured to the shiny side of the force.
Focused individuals could turn out great artwork too. Suddenly those cat drawings look a little sinister.
Smells are also deeply linked into memory. Apparently smells can trip much deeper memories than sight or sound.

In a word, NO. They ratted a customer to the US Navy without any legal basis for doing so. Check here
So Earthlink said {AOL} ME TOO! {/AOL}?
Even without genetic manipulation, we bred wolves into Mexican Hairless dogs .. and someday we're going to pay for that.
The case does have holes, but I don't think this code release is one of them. Unix7 goes waaaay back, 1970's, pre-Berkley.

What year was it changed from Godwin's Rule? (Mike used to call it Godwin's Rule in comp.org.eff back when. When did it become a law?)
Where does Micron have its chip fab these days?
Possibly because few of us own Micro stock, but most of us buy RAM now and then.
