then isnt it true that it is NOT a violation of the DMCA to break encryption, etc for the purpose of furthing education and knowledge? Since it was a speach he was making... and not a turtoial on "H0w 70 g37 k-r4D fR33 b00kZ", i think hes well protected even if the DMCA applied to him in the first place.
The whole Dot Com frenzy was just a bunch of people trying to get rich quick. They never thought about how they were going ot make any profits or about the usefulness of their services (buying dog food online.. yeah right! the shipping cost is too much). And products like the internet toolbox (found advertising on late night infomercials) wern't helping either.
As the frenzy calms down and people begin to think before they try to start an online business, I think things will get better.
"...a system to allow teachers to create prinnted tests and lab assignments with embedded DataGlyphs to allow automatic generation of graded and annotated results."
Yeah i'd like to see the goverment provide the printers for the schools needed to print at such a fine resolution... yeah, like that's gonna happen.
Besides, what are those damn teachers getting paid for? To throw stuff at kids from a text book and then let a machine design and grade their tests?
Any *nix environment is going to offer more control over what a student can and cannot do to the computer (changing system settings, etc) then Windows alone or any third-party software solution.
And anyone who knows anything about what kids do to computers at school knows why this is a good thing.

Dammit! Why do all the other countries get tons of bandwidth for cheap and i only get a max of 200Kbytes/sec for $55 a month on my cable modem.
Yeah, we all know only the RIAA is allowed to violate copyrights...
I think this is even more proof that linux is a great embedded computing platform.
