He wasn't talking about the article specifically...He was speaking in a broader sense describing spam in general.
But there's still a flaw. In my experience (of having read some of the spam I receive) spammers don't actually make (or even sell) products. They just advertise. I often see multiple products (or types of products (or manufacturers)) in a single message.
That suggests that someone's advertising "CHEAP Advertising! Reach over One MILLION POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS each DAY!"... I've seen taglines like that at the end of some spam messages.

3 Netscape asked if I wanted to make it the default app for internet shortcuts. I said yes.
4 'Twas done.

7 I go into Control Panel and go to where I select my default mail client. Outlook Express was listed, but Netscape was not.

Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are the three colors used in printing, because they each absorb one color, leaving the other two. You mix these until you get the specific combination of red, green and blue light that you want.

I find it takes effort to respect people with this type of view. First, you're saying it'd be cool if the system went out, but then you're saying that there are good games for it, and the only reason you'd like the system going down is so you can get the games cheap.
Do you not even realize that when a development system has no future market, nobody will develop for it? Bye-bye to all the development aimed at producing those 'excellent' games.
If that didn't makes sense to you, look at it this way: If Sega stops production of the product, the market for games for it will continually diminish as people throw away the systems and/or as the systems wear out. Nobody wants to develop for a market they know is going to shrink. No more 'excellent' games...
Rumors don't hurt people, it's the impressions that they convey that cause problems. Your comment carries with it just as much of a negative impression as the rumer it describes.

Stop, Light.

Think of a 'beam' of light as a geometric ray. You can block the ray, making it into a line segment, or you can reflect it, changing its direction.
'light' is an amount of quanta('photons' if you prefer) whose position in the 'beam' changes with time.
I think that technology already provides solutions to its own 'waste' problem...People are still in the process of moving out of the 'drive to the corner store' mindset.
You want to public transportation? Of what? People or goods? When I go to the store, my transportation has to carry me there and back, in addition to whatever I buy, for the return trip.
In my Econ class(just finished for the semester this morning), I came under the impression that the whole point of a capitalist market economy is that resources are moved to where they're needed.
UPS, FedEx, USPS...All of these are used to move things around. In order to cut costs, they pack as much material into each truck as they can, and put each truck onto a planned route to conserve gas and time. They don't ferry _you_ or your _requests_ around...that's the Internet's job. You can order things on the Internet, and FedEx'll bring it to your doorstep. More efficient.
Money works in a simaler fashion. Instead of hauling fourteen pearls and five cats around for trade, you carry $$$ around instead. Viola! You've just compresset three kilos worth of stuff around into a few ounces of paper.
Credit/Debit cards work in a simaler way again. Instead of carrying $15,000 around in your wallet, wich is wastefull, (mass as well as the possibility of being mugged) you carry your debit card. You've just compressed thirty grams of paper into ten grams of plastic.
Efficiency and compression, in the real world, are the same thing. Here's an overview of the steps of efficiency I've described:
- Instead of driving/walking/riding to the corner store, you use the Internet to order.
- Instead of driving/walking/riding to the place you ordered from and give them a kilo of 1$ bills, you send a wad of electricity designating a third party who holds on to your cash for you.
- Instead of three people on your block driving separately out to where they order things, UPS'll put all three packages into one truck and deliver to your doorstep.
First off, Quake uses something I call 'stateshots'. I.E. It tells you everything about what's around you, but only to a specific radius.
Prediction etc. is mostly done by the server. Try reading the source yourself.
As for security, opensourcing has made it a lot MORE secure. QuakeForge already foils many cheating tools, and some server mods REQUIRE that QF be used.

about a man named $random$
I get two messages a day from "$random$"@(...)
I thought I recalled seeing someone in here relate spammers with creativity. But then, I always thought creativity was linked to intelligence.
Not that difficult? hmm.

Talk about a system.

I don't know why nobody else has mentioned this yet...
The best thing about this proposed system is that it automatically forms a volunteer (unless they're successful) group of patent-breakers.
It'll be nice to have a group of people dedicated to earning money by disproving some plaugerist's claim to fame.

'light' is an amount of quanta('photons' if you prefer) whose position in the 'beam' changes with time.
You might very well call it a beowulf cluster in and of itself...
I'm not sure, but maybe using a Linux variant is cheaper?
Not that that matters much, considering the development costs...
That's how holographs already work...
A 'beam' of light was the path that a photon took...It doesn't have any energy or substance of its own...
Think of it like a trail in an ion-cloud chamber.
As I understand it, 'space' is a region where there is a net energy level of zero...Perhaps they were able to give it a negativie net energy level?
You mean, 'does it lose energy'?
I'm not sure, but I doubt it. It would have to radiate other quanta...
But that doesn't necessarily mean it can't be stopped...
