In the NY Post article, Patti Lorenzen, a spokeswoman for the Federal Reserve, says:
We feel confident that this system adheres to the highest standards of security.
But it seems they forgot about physical security. The current system is much harder to crack because its exposure is limited. Making the banking network more accessible will decrease security.
If anyone wants to follow the money, try dentistry. There is an increasing shortage of dentists, and they typically make very good money sticking tools in your mouth.
There is a shortage of nurses. They make not-too-bad money in that job.
There is also a shortage of teachers. They usually lose money and get abused by the students.
There are too many people in the IT world with minimal skills and knowledge, despite their years of 'experience'. Wouldn't it be nice to see them disappear from this field and leave it to those who actually enjoy it?
Now I know that broadband is responsible for the state of South Korea's economy.
I used to think a well-educated workforce, decent standard of living, reasonably-stable government, and export-oriented companies (including Hyundai, Samsung, and LG) helped much more.
Just get broadband to everyone, and watch your economy grow. Go for it. Are you listening, Nigeria? Forget other infrastructure and government policies.

SCO is trying this as a contract dispute. They believe anything IBM created for AIX is a 'derivative work'. Even if that is true, JFS came from OS/2, not AIX.
And IBM assumed all of the same types of agreements when it bought Sequent, right?
Contract law is great for small businesses and partnerships, but for large organisations like IBM or AT&T, it can become a nightmare of entanglements and contradictory agreements.
While this is probably true, we don't know this for sure yet.
Good point. So many 'scientists' claim that water is a requirement for life, but that may not be true. Any other liquid solvent may not be necessary. If an organism can get its energy and dispose of waste products without a solvent, it is not a requirement.
But the patent office believes that MS invented e-mail and web servers. (They can't really be invented by people at universities or research labs, could they?)
And even though IBM first created SMB, MS modified it heavily, and that is what Samba tries to work with. MS might try to use the DMCA to prevent the reverse engineering that Tridge and his team do. (Did Australia get around to passing a DMCA-like law?)
We can change the laws of our own state. In many states, citizens can petition the legislature or even pass initiatives and/or referenda to change laws. We can also appeal to our elected officials directly, and get others to do the same.
If we don't like the way laws are used against us (criminalising more behaviours year after year), we need to get our elected officials to repeal or change those laws.
If the elected officials will not do it, tell them that is why you plan to vote for someone else when the term is up. Maybe that will help change things.

My Russian friends are going to love this.

Shell scripts don't write themselves.
What? MS is going to start inventing stuff for a change?
Outsourced. . . or stolen?

Good luck, Judge Kimball!

Everybody knows Orkut is supposed to be in Turkish, tesekkur ederim.
(I tried to look up patent #666, but it is not in the database yet.)
Any judge worth his/her pay knows that only elected officials, not bureaucrats, can make enforceable laws.
If the judge is not worth the pay, get him or her shit-canned.
That's what I told the proctologist. But the insurance company still paid him.
Problem solved. Didn't you see Superman 3 and/or Office Space?

Police officers, especially in small towns, are not the most educated people around.
If you believe yourself to have multiple valid names, it is not a crime to use any of those names. (They are not _fake_ names.)
EULAs are a way to trick stupid people into believing they are bound by the restrictions listed therein.
Copyright laws still apply though.
Or 'Warranty void if product used'.
Don't expect any US spammers to do the same thing.
This guy took personal responsibility for his own actions? Wow. He is obviously not from the US.
