God help those responsible for this mess. They are fucked. You would think people would have learned from Pearl Harbor. You do not fuck with American soil.

Heh, and by the time you know what you are talking about, the discussion is closed.

I think ending aging is about the worst idea ever. I'd rather die of old age than die of starvation, due to an out of control population with zero death rate.
"...apparently believe that the mere act of spending money entitles you to a return on your investment. Let's get this straight: No one 'deserves' money just because they put their money, time, or effort into a project."

The above statements are just absurd. While it is true they do not "deserve" compensation simply for providing a service, they do "deserve" to be fairly compensated by those who USE their service, just as you "deserve" to get a paycheck for showing up at work everyday.
And concerning this topic in general, lets be completely honest with ourselves. This technology will be used primarily for one thing, FREE SERVICE, even if this was not the author's intent.
It blows my mind that if someone hands the cable guy $50, and he hooks up some extra channels without authorization, we would all agree that this person is stealing cable. Yet, if we use an im-so-l33t-i-run-linux box to cheat DirecTV, we are not thieves, but noble techies expressing our love of technology...... Smells like bullshit to me.
I'm all for this technology, and I will probably use it myself. However, I refuse to pretend I'm not doing something wrong. When the DirecTV guy comes knocking on my door, and asks me just what exactly that silly box is near my TV, I will give him a 100% honest answer..... "Oh that? That's a toaster."

Kids have been playing "war" and pointing imaginary weapons at each other for centuries. I would prefer to have today's youth playing violent video games, than throwing rocks at each other like we did when I was kid.

Well.... I've actually seen an iPAQ RUNNING linux. Maybe this is old news, but that's enough reason for me to go with the iPAQ.
Boohoo.
