All the greedy vultures will do is tick off a lot of major companies. Then Congress will finally get the kind of preasure it will take to get rid of this junk patent mess.

Amazon gets a lot of hits through the associates program. these are smaller targets. Let the webmasters at these sites know what you think. Suggest they opt out of Amazons program, and switch to B&N's program. I can suggest 3 Amazon associates. Linux online,Be.com, and SLASHDOT.(Are you reading this Rob?). Check out the Amazon site for more.
Pronounceation isn't the only problem in a global economy. A name can look good in one language and really suck in another. About 30 years ago Chevrolet changed the name of the Chevy II to the Nova. Unfortunally for the Chevrolet dealers in Mexico, In Spanish Nova litterly means No-Go.
Put lots of vauge restrictions on MS. Make sure that if you ask ten lawyers what they mean,you get ten different answers. Word them so some beraucrat (sp?) can change the rules any time. Isn't that what the goverment does best?;)
No it dosen't. However you have to know the speed in order to filter it out. reflections at slower speeds can be filtered (MTI) but the random stuff appears to happen at random speeds. You are looking for a blip moving in a linner path surrounded by thousands of blips that jump in and out. Tune a TV to a station that dosen't have a signal on it. Lots of RF noise. Some of it is random. Some of it is generated by something that creates a pattern (Say an electric motor). try to find the noise with a pattern in the field of random noise
The garbage is reflections fromm side lobes, other seagulls, water mist, trace noise from sloppy transmitters and anything else cabable of generating rf. Some of it is removed by MTI (moving target indicator which deletes signals that allways appear in the same place, But too much is truly random.
I spent 8 years as a radar tech in the Navy. I can tune a radar in so good that it can detect a seagull at several miles, But it's worthless when it's tuned in that good. Most of the time you can't find the seagull because there's too much Garbage that is also displayed on the screen. So the radar has to be slightly detuned. That way you only see the stronger signals. Stealth takes advantage of this. Tune the radar in good enough to detect the small radar cross section of the plane and you can't find it on the scope because of all the other garbage. Stealth just hides in the garbage. When you consider how much turbulance there is in the air without any plane to add to it you will quickly run into the same problem of finding the target in the garbage.
Mr. Cailliau is just trying to sugar-coat his real aim with this "licnse" BS. What he's really talking about is what was called an internal passport in the old Soviet Union. Idenity Papers, that the police stop you for, To make sure that you aren't some place you aren't allowed to be. He drags out the usual buzz-words (Child-porn & Racist sites) to back this up, Then declares himself against "Heavy handed rules governing content". Excuse me, His whole reason for the license is because he dosen't like the content of the sites he mentioned earlier. It's easy to go after the repugnent sites he mentioned, But what sites will be next? Pro-gun? Anti-abortion? Violent games? The rest of the porn sites? A lot of people would like to ban those too. Then theres that pesky World in the WWW. Different cultures find different things offensive. Do we ban McDonalds from having a web site because many Hindus consider it to be more offensive than the racist sites? IMO the censorship that this will lead to is is more repugnent than anything I've seen online.
Although I'm sure thier reasons may be different from mine, I offer a tip of the hat to Microsoft. I found myself mostly in agrement with the paragraph "Among the principles it proposed were that electronic commerce should not be subject to more onerous rules than those applied to traditional commerce and that any WTO agreement should not favor or freeze in place any particular technology." However I realize this could be a two edged sword. While it does allow for the propriatary standards that MS loves so much, Getting this into any agreement prevents open source from being frozen out in favor of (currentally) more popular software.
If one right can be taken away, then others can. Those who wish to destroy other peoples rights allways start by disarming them. When you give up your right to defend your self, you are making it easy for someone to take the rest of your rights away.
JFK's security was no match for Oswald's sniper attack. In an armed society, a politican who was a threat to freedom wouldn't face a lone gunman, (Spare me the conspiracy theories), But litterly thousands of patriots willing to defend thier freedoms. Sooner or later one of them will nail him.
When the US was building the first Atomic bomb during WWII they had to build a city to build the bomb in. In less than a year they built the second largest city in the state, and did it under some of the heaveist security restrictions known. At the same time they were building the city they had to develop a new technology that was litterally scince fiction a couple of years earlier, and build it into the three plants that separated the U-235 from the U-238. Less than three years after the project started the first Atomic bomb was used. Regardless of what you think of the product, Oakridge was one of the greatest hacks of all time.
Sorry Joker, A lot of the time it's the OS. I have set up several dual boot Linux/NT boxes that were stable running Linux, But BSOD once or twice a month running NT mode. I have also converted NT boxes to Linux and cured the instability. Same hardware, different levals of stability. The problem is NT ages, It loses stability over time, and it isn't because of users making changes. NT loses stability even if the user makes no changes to the OEM installed software package. NT can be set up to be stable. Most NT boxes start out as fairly stabe machines, But sooner or later the BSODs start occuring and the problem gets worse untill a reinstall. Then the cycle starts over.
They aren't aliens. They are what humans will elvolve into. Most of 'em are just boring historians checking out the past with thier time machines. (What the hell it makes as much sense as most of this UFO BS)
Spammers will allways find a way to send the garbage if they want to. ISP's could stop a lot of spam by making the penality for spamming IP blocking to any website mentioned in the spam for say, 30 days. Sending spam would result in fewer hits on the site instead of more hits, Which would take the profit out of spamming. At the least it would stop the porn spam. For those who will say this is censorship, censorship is blocking for content. This is a penality for actions of the site operator, not the content of the site. If they refrain from spamming they could be accessed after the penality time was over.
McCarthy was a power mad drunk, Who ruined a few dozen peoples lives. Communism is a power mad system that has murdered millions and enslaved hundreds of millions of people. I'll take Joe McCarthy over Joe Stalin any day.

Writting your Congressperson won't do much good. It won't go past the staff. Drop by the local office. That way the staff knows that you are commited to the idea and will be far more likely to pass it on. Friday AM is a great time for this because you stand a good chance of catching the Represenative at the office preparing for some weekend campaining. Call the local office to find out if s/he is giving any speaches. This is the time of year they are doing grassworks to prepare for next years election. Use the right Buzz words, like "protecting the American Cyber-Revoulation" A secondary course of action is to write to companys using software pats as a weapon. Cirrus logic is looking for a 5% gain in revenues. Write them and inform them that you will not buy any product containing Cirrus logic chips if they continue. Write thier customers and inform them that you will not buy thier product if they use cirrus logic chips. Let them know they stand to lose more $ through lost sales than they will gain by IP warfare.
I asked that question at the Corel booth at ALS. They said the next Beta will be out in about a week and a half. There will be a limited number of formal testers who will be able to submit bug reports, but anybody will be able to download it to try it out.
