An ISP (I won't say the name, this is an actual case) kept backup tapes in a cabinet. A good practice, isnt it?
One day, an employee forgot to keep some tapes inside the cabinet. Tapes were available to the employees, nobody else. Bad luck, that day was the inspection day (not announced, of course). Their punishment was $1000 per tape
In Europe this would have never ever happened: our laws are very strong regarding to personal data and privacy.
For instance, if a company here in Spain keeps customers data in a database, and the company wants to have that database hosted abroad (for example, for its website), in the USA, France, or any other country in the world, one person -with a name and a surname- of that company has to ask the Director of the Data Protection Agency for a written permission to do so.
Break Privacy Laws and you'll face a monetary penalty from $600 to $600000
Give them a little (maybe a 1%) participation in the company. That way they'll imply themselves more and they'll stay in the company. That's what big companies do.
The guys at OS/2 Netlabs have been doing this for years now. It'ts called Project Odin They run Win32 apps on top of OS/2 with no emulation: they "translate" binaries on-the-fly. They even run Win32 drivers on OS/2!!
Because cold fusion tries to generate more energy than it takes.
The First Law of Thermodynamics says that any process will generate the same amount of energy, or less, than it takes.
But that's in ideal conditions. Of course, those conditions never take place. So here comes the Second Law of Thermodynamics: in real conditions, any process will generate less energy than it takes. Of course, the remaining energy is not destroyed: it's only transformed in a non-profitable kind of energy (read: the entropy grows)
This is not easy to explain in only a few lines. I recommend to read "Voodoo Science" and then fully understand this all.
Cold fusion is impossible: it goes against the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Every announcement of somebody getting cold fusion to work is only a fraud or a mistake.
There's a good book by Robert L. Park (Nobel Prize of Physics) dealing with cold fusion and other scientific frauds (such as perpetual movement engines): Voodoo Science
Before talking about hydrogen vehicles, you should read Robert L. Park's "Voodoo Science". It explains clearly why all this hype about hydrogen is just crap.

I'm sorry, but you are wrong.
A directive per-se it's a bit more than nothing. The EU works this way: the European Council or the European Parliament dictate a directive and give the EU members a deadline to implement ("transpose") it. Every member must transpose the directive, but there's always a transient period (monthes or even years) until the directive gives shape to a country-specific law. While this transient period, the directive has no effect. The point here is this: a directive is not a law and won't be used by a judge.
The IEEE Computer Society Magazine published in August an article on this topic. There are a lot of alternatives to UPnP: Sun, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, etc.
Unfortunately, I don't have the magazine here, so I cannot say much. Here is the index of the magazine, here abstract of the article, and here is the article in PDF (but you must pay 19$ US for it).
If you are actually interested, e-mail me (pgq AT poboxes DOT com) and I'll send you a summary.

Company to be fined $60000 to $300000 for sending spam. Would you ever see that in the USA?
An example of the amounts:

Weinberg's opinion is no news. Bob Park already said it in his book Voodoo Science: The Road from Foolishness to Fraud and in his testimony before the Commitee on Sicence, Subcommitee on Space and Aeronautics (April 9th, 1997)

It's in Spain, it's legal and their site is both in English and in Spanish: Weblisten.
Yes, I also think that one is the poorest review I also have read.
Altiris is what you need.
Ooops, http://www.ds2.esis the correct link
DS2 is a Spanish company and is the WORLD leader in PLC technology.
One of the founders of the company was a teacher of mine! (he lectures at the Telecommunications School of Valencia, Polytechnic University of Valencia

In the ages of Copernicus, very little about Science was known.
Today, we know a lot about Science, and every and each thing and fact we know do nothing but empower the laws of Thermodynamics.
Learn some humility Sir, we know a lot, more than we need to debunk parasciences, pseudociences and fraud science (and cold fusion is fraud science).

The First Law of Thermodynamics says that any process will generate the same amount of energy, or less, than it takes.

Robert Park also writes a column for the American Physical Society.
Can it be used as a Macromedia Flash replacement? :-?
You certainly don't know what you are talking about. Some tests are public and some even free.
For instance, here (Mensa Spain) you have a test publicly available.
And there are some books also publicly available sold as Mensa preparatory test books.
And that's not all, they sent me home a test (which I never filled), with solutions.
So, who is the liar?
Do you have a written notes of it? Could you please send me them? Thank you.
This was also stated some years ago by Robert L. Park in his book "Voodoo Science".
And this is the second time I recommend this book in Slashdot in two days. Hell, go and buy it!
