Well, nobody is stopping JWZ from switching to Windows or Macintosh.
I am beginning to suspect there's some hidden running joke going on. JWZ's livejournal has entries that claim the reason that he's stuck on Linux is XEmacs. Huh? Bitching about UI's when you are stuck on XEmacs? There must be a running joke, that's the only way this makes sense.
Just put together CGIs that produce lots of invalid E-mail addresses that appear real and wait for them to be harvested by SPAMbots. Eventually there would be an awful lot of SPAM being sent to the One True Incorrect Address. Web spiders could be fooled into DoSing by pages full of invalid links.
As for the Post Office (bad example: it is not a monopoly,) If there is a product or service best served by a monopoly (and there are some) then it is the government's job to fill that role. Because then and only then is the monopoly producer accountable to the people.
So moving pieces of paper around between addresses can't possibly be done by anything else then the government?
F-----g idiots can't even deliver to the correct address half the time.
P-ISM: A Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget Package It seems that information terminals are infinitely getting smaller. However, we will continue to manipulate them with our hands for now. We have visualized the connection between the latest technology and the human, in a form of a pen. P-ISM is a gadget package including five functions: a pen-style cellular phone with a handwriting data input function, virtual keyboard, a very small projector, camera scanner, and personal ID key with cashless pass function. P-ISMs are connected with one another through short-range wireless technology. The whole set is also connected to the Internet through the cellular phone function. This personal gadget in a minimalistic pen style enables the ultimate ubiquitous computing.
When you get down to this level of miniaturization design decisions can't be arbitrary. I'm convinced that if we had more information about the product a reason for a "CPU pen" would be clear, especially if the actual contents of the "CPU pen" were known.
If we just educated people better, viruses/diseases wouldn't be a problem. Works the same way for AIDS as it does W32.Klez.
Now that's sarcasm at its finest. Over 20 years with the same human virus and the problem just keeps getting worse. I doubt people are getting less educated about it over time.
It appears to me that overcoming human nature requires more than education.
So where's your cost analysis for that justification? We know the artists aren't getting the money they record companies bilk from us. So the justification can't be due to the value the music had to your life since that money doesn't go to the people who expressed it. How do you justfify the outragous prices of the producer's salary? Where is the value in that?
There have been some rumors that AMD/Opteron is a possible position for Sun, but the practical difficulty in a 8-way and up machines with the Opteron is probably a significant limiting factor in that path.

free advertising? Playing songs on radio
Nope, you are forgetting about payola.
IA-32e? What a last gasp of despiration that the one true 64-bit Intel box will be the Itantic.
1. Market BSD/OS, an OS that's used by ISPs.
2. Sell it to an embedded systems dealer.
3. Profit, but the OS goes to hell.
Meanwhile ISPs keep using BSD/OS
since we're all slashdotted and stuff...

think of touchscreen ticket machines, for example (ooh er, perhaps there aren't any in the US since there's precious little public transport)
There's plenty of them in movie theaters in the US.
Virtual keyboards are so 2002...

To me, within reason is $10 - $20 U.S. dollars.

I own about 4 or 5 thousand lps, cds and cassetts, and they think a lousy $13 is going to make up for a lifetime of gouging?
They should give you a license to download for free.
I'd agree they'd owe us more if they were selling something necessary like food or fuel products.
But they're not. They're selling luxeries. Things you don't need.
Well since the product has been proven irrelevent then we can download all we want for free, after all it has no value since we won't die without it.
Some of the Sun-supplied non-GNU tools have been given GNU options too now. The "-h" flag for du and df and the "-u" flag for diff.
Sun is now reverse-engineering GNU instead of the way it was in the 80's when the GNU Project goal was to reverse-engineer UNIX.
There have been some rumors that AMD/Opteron is a possible position for Sun, but the practical difficulty in a 8-way and up machines with the Opteron is probably a significant limiting factor in that path.
Possible postion?
Difficult 8-way?
Not anymore I guess.
"The strongest conspiracy is the conspiracy of the stupid"
So why is it going to succeed where these failed?
NVIDA has already ported all their drivers to them? *wakes up* I just had the weirdest dream about a window...
I'm holding out for Z-Windows. *goes back to sleep*
Can anyone name a Live CD where X11 works when you boot it on the bochs pentium emulator?
Thanks
Well, maybe someday we will extract the oxygen from Mars and Europa for our own purposes.
Are packages like Firebird really more secure
Back when there was a Firebird it didn't send or receive mail so, yes, it's incredibly secure.
A better question is ThunderFox, er, Thunderbird more secure?
Yes, but then emacs would have coded you.
Headaches were supposedly caused by demons a couple thousand years ago.
Thank goodness these days we have killall.
