  1. A little power... on Peer-to-Peer Goodness · · Score: 1

    ... is such a dangerous thing though. How long will it be until some secretary or executive type gets a bogus e-mail virus warning and sends out the virus "update" that ruins everyones computers?

  2. Re:This looks pretty good, but.... on Music Owners' Listening Rights Act · · Score: 1

    Maybe (at least with CD's; obviously this wouldn't work with vinyl or tapes) you could put said CD into your CD-ROM, scan the track list and times, and send it over somehow. Wouldn't stop anyone from sharing the CD's, but it could be a start.

  3. Re:Typical Brit on Slashback: Injunction, Waivers, Black Hole · · Score: 1

    You would think that with all of the press surrounding the Enigma lately, especially in Britain, that people would be more careful about this sort of thing.

    I guess that it was released 16 months ago, but any former ranking advisor to Thatcher should know about supposed unbreakable codes.

  4. Re:Wow. Why hadn't anybody thought of this before? on Bouncing Robots Exploring Planets? · · Score: 1

    I got it from an old Fitz of Depression (Olympia, WA band) T-Shirt that I have from 1991. Sort of funny how it came around again. It's a neat shirt with a lot of history too -- one of my favorites.

  5. Wow. Why hadn't anybody thought of this before? on Bouncing Robots Exploring Planets? · · Score: 2
    It seems like such a simple idea. While the idea of little bouncing probes isn't as dignified as a more noble looking rover with treads, anything that actually gets used to explore space and other planets is fine with me.

  6. If this Nanotechnology is GPL'ed on Open Source Nanotechnology · · Score: 2

    Will the nanites that take over the world be legally obligated to share their secrets of world dominion back to the developers?

  7. I may not be a huge Red Hat fan... on NCSU/Red Hat "Open Source University" · · Score: 2

    ... but I think that this will help everyone out in the long run. I'd rather see a university convert to Red Hat than yet another school move over to exclusively NT. Besides, this might introduce more students to the idea of *nix and Open Source in general, and may move on to systems like Slackware or FreeBSD.
