Instead of having a central depository for public keys, why not make a P2P public depository. It may periodically require you to republish your key, but the server would never disappear.
How about a AI engine that can determine whether a picture is porn related/unappropriate material. It could then be expanded to mpg/avi/etc. Then their wouldn't be an issue of filtering educational text. The erotic stories would have to be filtered another way. Visual interpretation would be an excellent project.
1. The only reason that W2k support more hardware is because they have more support from the designers. We are catching up.
2. Win95/98 is stable too, until you add a few other programs like Office. If everything is tied to the core of the operating system and one thing goes down, it all goes.
3. Check out CORBA. Take a look at KOffice.
4. X crash? Interesting... Which wm do you use? Are you sure you know which is crashing?
5. Linus has already acknowledged that someday, someone will probably think of a way to do things better that linux and start a new OS. This would be no surprise.
6. Mistakes made in W2k article: Linux is not Unix, it is Unix-like. Unix is not 30 years old, it is 30 years mature. You don't see other industries changing to the latest and greatest at v1.0. If that were true, our POTS would have been changed to packet based a long time ago, and we would all be watching digital tv.
Windows is like a young lover, wham-bam-thank you ma'am. Linux goes a little slower, fully considering constructive critisism, and gets better not just bigger.

I was actually thinking in the other direction.

Does Oracle have to honor the offer since it is being done on a product that was not available at the time of the challenge?
