WebHashcash is a Java-based anti-spam mechanism for collaborative web sites such as weblogs, discussion forums, and wikis, to guard against automated content posting, fake user registration, or ballot stuffing. It adapts the Hashcash email anti-spam system to web forms.
Hashcash is a system designed in 1997 by Adam Back whereby all messages require a modest investment of CPU power in order to generate a "stamp" which will be accepted by the recipient. The CPU processing happens transparently before the user even tries to send his message, and it usually doesn't take more than a few seconds. Thus, a small and easily-verified "postage" is attached to all messages. This cost is negligible for legitimate users, but prohibitive for spammers, thereby destroying the economics of spamming.
The catch is that Apple doesn't truly intend on going through with Intel-based systems. They are basically trying to get IBM to improve the G5's power consumption.
A young person deserves all the rights to privacy that any other person has.
Has anyone considered that perhaps the prisons that we force our children to spend their days in are in fact responsible for much of the "problem behaviour" that we're trying to protect them from by instituting such Orwellian invasions of their privacy?

Maybe because I was programming and using a keyboard before I learned how to read and write english.
Do you mean before you learned to read and write English specifically, or any natural language? If the latter, what is your native language?
No no, you're confusing quantum plasma and toxoplasma.
The fact that this enterprise is backed by Virgin suggests that it isn't a scam. They have a reputation at stake.

They invade our space, and we fall back.
They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back.
The line must be drawn here! This far! No farther!
And I....will make them PAY for what they've done!
In outer space, shuttle ground YOU!
At least it's not the Ryugyong Hotel.
You wanna try your luck with the Russian space program?
Why, that would be like Russian Roullete!
I don't know about you, but if my Mac blew up today, I might be a little scared.
Hmmm, I suppose you could make a hostage video and demand ransom.

On second thought, if I owned a protector robot, I'd probably install LoJack.
But where are you going to pawn a stolen robot?
There's always a bigger fish.

That guy sure thinks he's a supermonkey.

Actually, the iBook was the first computer to ship with WiFi, not the PowerBook.

I do it all the time. Works fine.
