Since several thousand years ago, we're farming pigs, chickens, cows, horses, dogs, Guinea pigs, turkeys,... to harvest their organs, muscles, hide, milk, horns...
While organs from animals may help in the future, you could check the mechanisms that allow Spain to have one of the highest rates of donors and transplants in the world now at the Organización Nacional de Trasplantes --
The genetic ~entrepreneurs~ at PreSpam are trying to clone pigs and naming them after companies. They plan to sell those pigs to the companies for a much substantial price.
There already are pigs named "Cisco", "Microsoft", "Microsoft Sucks", "Dresdner Deutsche", "Deustche Dresdner", "Disney", "Al Gore", "Al Gore 2000", "George Bush", "George Bush Jr." and others.
Free software figure Linus Torvalds was shocked after the fact that they claim the rights to name a cloned pig "Linux". Torvalds said "I could admit a penguin, but a pig! I'll check with my lawyers and hit them with all the strength of trademark law". President Clinton is consulting his staff about the posibility of a pig named "White House". --
Moderators: My apologies, I'm not trying to start a flame war, but the fact that I get irate about this might influence my writing style. Try not to damage me too thoroughly.:)
Off-topic:
It upsets me when people talks directly to moderators. On Slashdot, you are supposed to be writing for us readers or previous posters. Moderators just are special readers that happen to moderate. But it seems that for lots of people they are a faceless kind of thought police. Moderators are there to help, not as external super-egoes.
I like moderation, and consider an honor when I am allowed to moderate, but this behaviour is too intrusive. It breaks the illusion of a conversation.
And the worst is that by labelling this as off-topic, I am yielding to fear of the moderators:( --
I feel the parent story Re:Internet=Death? should be a comment for the Ask Slashdot story about social factors and the Internet, but I am reading it from "Mozilla whit crypto code released".
What information I have about this is old and unreliable, so please correct my errors: I heard that, while the Japanese are obviously very much into technology, they are not so inclined towards the Internet because the basic tools (email and web) make it difficult to use the Japanese language.
Comments like this are why I believe every CEO and industry leader should read slashdot, They already do. Where do you think all those trolls come from? --
Who knows what terrors they (and the US and the UK and Russia and Israel and India and Pakistan and Koreas and China and...) are planning for us in their virtual testgrounds.
Incidentally, it's a good idea to change the name "Tera", it links you to technology that will be dated when everybody focus on "peta-" things. It's like being named "20th Century Something" in the 21st century. --
But I'd like to see what would happen with Tux, Susie (if they had made that the mascot) and the BSD Daemon if they got together and partied. The fruit of such relations against nature would be forbidden.
Germans have had the Beer Purity Law since the 1500s.
The European Union aren't fond of those transgenic chimeras.
Um... if they have less applicants because of the name, they could resort to getting foreign students who speak English but don't know the slang (yet:) ). --
What do you think about the Java Swing user interface? What do you think about the dilemma "1 interface, many platforms" / "1 platform, many interfaces"? --
I remember using some of the latest Mosaic versions. It had a feature that I liked but I have not found elsewhere.
The links used one color for visited links (say blue) and another for not visited (say red), as usual now. But the color was continous. If I have visited the URL, one day ago it was a bit redder than the one just visited. And so on. A link visited one month ago would be as red as one never visited.
Do you think this feature added in usability? I find it better than the current discrete model. --

Since several thousand years ago, we're farming pigs, chickens, cows, horses, dogs, Guinea pigs, turkeys,... to harvest their organs, muscles, hide, milk, horns...
Now it's just more patentable.

There is the Austrian city of Fucking (a somehow related link http://fucking.at/), where street plates are often stolen by souvenir hunters.
And there is the Japanese prefecture of Kinki, whose authorities actually thought of changing the name, because of ridicule from Americans.
