I also like the idea that came from Microsoft recently of forcing the sender to pay the recipient a small amount of money.
That has been the problem of the internet all along: it has no currency. No way to pay. Unless you use something like visa, but that's as secure as saying "here is my root password, you may download/tmp/iamsonaive.gif".
Couldn't we be spending our time trying to figure out how to make an easier to use, less complex OS?
Nobody uses complex numbers in their OS afaik. They are keeping that for when 3D is outdated. The only thing they still have to figure out is what a filesize of 35446-474i kb means.

Erm.. I don't get your point. wat is 'it'?? You always need a ham licence to access ham networks, it's logical since your actions activate transponders that require a ham license. Ham's are allowed to use 2.4Gh, but so are you (you just have to use licenced transmitters, hams can build them theirselves).
Here in Belgium there is discussion about adding a 0.12Euro tax to CDR's for author rights. I'm not against it (0.12 euro's won't make me starve), but if they prohibit me from copying, I wonder what I'm paying for. My advice to the RIAA is: go ahead and take a piece of the pie, and GIVE IT TO THE ARTISTS!!
Anyway, making bits 'uncopyable' is like making water 'not wet' (not my quote, I copied it;) ).
I am no physics guru, but I've been asking myself this question for some time now. Since time was created with the big bang, and considering the theory of relativity, is it sensible to define the age of the universe? Did time behave as we are used to at the very beginning? If I'm right (feel free to correct me) when using the relativity theory you have to define a clock first and then you can measure time according to that clock. So what clock are they using?
With 200k$, I guess you can pay microsoft to sign the linux executables? Or just let them sign the bootloader.. or some silly game with a very unfortunate bug on line 2.. The old 'can you quickly sign this'-trick might just work;).
Populous 1 and 2 were great, especially in multiplayer (it was still in the null-modem time), but then Populous 3 was released. It was in 3D, but some games just don't work that way. Nowadays, game companies seem to be ashamed to release a 2D game!
But the article doesn't say exactly what has to be improved. Some keywords that spring into my mind are standards and extensive error checking. But even that doesn't guarantee a problem-free life. Everything in this world breaks down, you know! And most likely when you need it most (cfr. Murphy's law).
Aren't it the people who expect things to work flawlessly who are irrealistic? We don't tolerate failure, although those are the moments we learn the most.
(sorry if this sounded a bit mellow, but I just found a bug in one of my programs that requires some 200 units to be reflashed, the management isn't too pleased with it - don't worry, I still have my job:)).
Have you ever heard of global killers? The paradox is that we have the capability either be one or to protect earth from them. I guess you're a pessimist.
Howto's were (and still are) a great way to learn about linux. That's how I did it. But I'm afraid you'll allways have to be interested in comuters to use Linux. If you're not, just write down what you want to do (read mail, surfing), let someone else install linux for you, and let him explain how things work. Otherwise, I'm afraid Linux will look too intimidating.

Well, without building a treehouse and moving there.
Are you saying there are no chemicals in trees? How about pollen?

Maybe the same way KDE and Gnome are OSes ;)
I can also make fertiliser from cow manure.
Well, they don't tell you how it ends, do they?
They left some things behind you know.. I think the only way to assure yourself is to go and see for yourself. Have a nice trip!
So I can't see that this could have been the reason..
This is not something you want to read when listening to 'war of the worlds'!

This is a breakthrough in wearable computers!
Just what we need, a bunch of stoned Canadiens...
If you're a diy type of guy, you might be interested in zworld zworld. It runs no os, but for the kind of things you mention, it's not needed.
Only allowing iDVD to work on internal drives because of marketing reasons is childish too.. No, wait, "evil" is a better description.

1 mile = 1.6 km ( = 1600 m)

Maybe they've completely automized the redaction and are now measuring how long it takes us to find out.. well guys, until the bug appears..
Someone you can't stand is having an operation, what do you do? "Hmm.. how do those DOS attacks work again?"
