Not that simple.
Bulk email was called spam by geeks.
Geeks are fans of Monty Python.
Python referenced spam in a lot of skits.
Hormel are getting a lot of free awareness of their product.
This lawsuit further raises the visibility of spam.
Go, convergence of legal system and advertising!
How about some suggesting alternative names?
'Potted electronic mail product', for example.
I heard from someone who lived on Oahu that Hawaiians consume a disproportionate amount of the US spam intake.
I've heard of a spam variation on this
gastrointestinal atrocity^W delight, which is still better than balut, I suppose...
Piling on, if you make these networks somehow illegal in country A, how are you going to enforce the jurisdiction elsewhere?
What are you going to do about a ship with >12 mile wireless capability sitting off the coast in international waters?
I submit that the answer may be the other extreme: networks whose entry requires total transparency at all times, whose on-ramps actually cost money, so that users can simply access them and do what they gotta do without an privacy beyond username/password.
If the rules themselves are transparent, no one can cry 'foul'.
Now, no one hesitates to bust on the Monopoly Squad for being a monoculture.
Here you have some smart people making sure that the same can't be said of *nix, and they can't get no lovin'.
Hypocrisy looks better on the other side of the argument.
US Navy Spruance[1], Ticonderoga, and Perry class ships have a Recovery Assist, Securing, and Traversal system that reels in an SH60B, locks it in place on the deck, and then can pull it into the hangar, once the origami is done.
Sometimes, a good ol' fashioned electro-hydraulic system is OK.

Non-intervention Free Market capitalism is great in times of plenty, but history has taught us in times of suffering (when capitalism goes wrong) this will only lead to two things:
Communism
or
National Socialism
Communism: do you mean the October Revolution, and the overthrow of the Czars?
National Socialism: do you seriously neglect the context of Versailles?
I'm not passing myself off as an historian, but I feel the analysis may be thin...
The safety net was set up as a vote buying scheme.
I don't think that's historically accurate.
Unions were born in an era where there was real abuse going on.
The social programs of the New Deal were born in an era of economic misery that we may very well soon revisit.
Programs, software or political, just acquire a lot of cruft.
The fact that your allegations may be partly true has more to do with human nature than anything. Solutions need to be directed at managing that, and not just changing the acronyms.
an interesting idea.
As this thread shows, you can't even utter the names like 'Union' of sacred cows without being labelled "semi-brainwashed"
How, then, do we set about considering where we are, where we should go, and reasonable compromises to navigate the difference?
Thanks, SHiFTY1000.
Don't forget the timing. If you only do this about once a week or so, it's best to light it off before you go to bed.
That is, unless you modded a bunch of XBoxen into a poor man's distcc compile farm...
Yes, the Industrial Revolution marks out the ditch on the right.
On the left, you'll notice a bureaucratic one, featuring:
a "saftety net", in which we can all get tangled, that ensures that the bureucracy continues to grow at a rate that makes a virulent cancer look static
wage escalation pricing native labor out of the market
protectionist trade policies ensuring crappy native products, and the fat politicians taking kickbacks to support them, far outlive their usefulness
arguments about "right to choose" that neglect the real issues of people treating sexuality responsibly, not like a video game, cluttering social dialogue
Unions (a mutiny awaiting its moment, for this old squid) picking your pocket and trying to set themselves up as a parallel government (or mafia, if you will) driving up wage costs and them blaming everyone but themselves for the fact that the worker is over a barrel
You left out entrepreneurialism, so that, when your eyes grow dry from whining about victimization, you can go start a business. Oh, wait, the Union will organize against you. Never mind.
Bigotry perpetuated by the groups who draw their power therefrom.
So, in between this brace of ditches, there may be some ground for a future. I hope.
Don't confuse difficulty (skilled required to do something) with motivation (time/interest required to do something).
Given the worldwide geek talent that exists, you'd think we wouldn't be re-inventing/solving the same problems at such high frequency.
Clearly there is more going on...

Ah, but take care, lest your anti-religious stance, itself, be caught forming a belief system, sir.

Well, yes, if whoever writes Jim Anchower over on http://www.theonion.com/ did it.

I've got the O'Reilly XP Hacks book, but I'd like to see official, supported stuff from the horse's whatzit.
I seriously hope so. I was blacked out for "excessive bad posting" for a while. Let's see if my time in the penalty box has been sufficient.
Thanks for the best response in the thread.

No, Fox draws vacuum, along with the rest of US cable news. BBC.
