Zero tollerence isn't about guns, drugs, etc. It is about control of the masses.
Nonsense.
Zero tolerance is about a politician who, after hearing the desparate cries of "enough of this! do something, anything! make a law!" from a vocal group of the voters he represents, throws up his hands and chooses the easiest possible solution: all situations that meet the following criteria (X,Y,Z) are punishable by (P).
It's about the fact that you can't come up with a law that fairly covers all situations, so you draw hard lines and wash your hands of the problem.
In order to achieve that the code will be compiled to pseudocode and interpreted by a JIT-compiler. (Sounds familiar) <p>

actually, apps will be compiled to IL (intermediate language), and shipped. when they are run (or installed, i've read both) they will be compiled to native code. there is no interpretation, but there is JIT compilation.

big deal. within hours of their release, these albums will be MP3'd, burned to CD-R or cassette.
if you can't decrypt the content to a WAV file, just put a mic in front of the magic-copyright-smart speaker.
the record companies can't put copyright-enforcers in our ears (yet).
if SDMI gets off the ground and they (sony and pals) actually start trying to sell these copyright-enforcing players, don't buy them.
don't throw out your CD-RWs, your CD players, your old receiver from 1993, your cassette player or your gasp turntable! keep them, use them, encourage record companies (with your wallet) to keep producing CDs compatible with current players.
If it isn't random, there would have to be a plan. But, no plan is required for evolution to work.
Critters are born with a set of attributes (parentAttribs +/- random changes). Some critters die without reproducing. Some die having reproduced a lot. This is evolution. No plan is required. Random changes will suffice.
Yes it does. It is aimed at survival. There are numerous survival strategies, of which physical strength, stealth, speed and intelligence are examples
No, it doesn't. Evolution is not planned, it has no strategy. If you want a plan, go to God. Evolution doesn't care.
Changes occur in critters. Changes that are bad for the species eventually go away or are displaced by the changes that are good for the species. But the changes are entirely random (unless you believe that something is causing specific changes for specific reasons). The fact that the changes seem to follow a plan or path is entirely coincidental - the "path" is a product of human imagination. Evolution doesn't care.
Geeks are outcast for being geeks, not for being smart. There are plenty of smart jocks, and stupid geeks. Ever go into a Radio Shack ? Those guys are geeks, but they ain't none too smart.

Yeah right. We can't even get past racism, nationalism, regionalism, culturalism and all of the other stupid "us vs. them" isms.
