    How much is it to post a human head?

    That's also oozing with something, if not love.

    The best kind!

    Yeah, I know. TCP/IP by carrier pigeon. The problem is that the technology is really line of sight oriented. 802.11b or bluetooth would work better, and if it gets placed in enough consumer equipment, it really drives the price down. Pursuing a white whale this is.

    That's what technology is for. We can improve technology. As for the idiots, we can only shoot them, but with technically advanced weapons.

    Wow, innane use of technology to fill a market that's been overflown with real solutions to a once-upon-a-time problem! The Open source community salutes you sir!

    Maybe then we can get a direct picture, instead of making the videoconfrencer look like he's always looking down. I want my virura-hookers looking right at me dammit!

  8. Re:How owns the copyright? on Microsoft Shared Source -- With a Twist · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Personally, I don't care if they use any code of mine, even if they profit from it. At least this follows the spirit of Open Source, if not the letter of it. Face it, developers are just going to do tweaks and fixes, not rewrite the entire thing or add stellar new features that will revolutionize pocket computing.

    The only thing that I'm worried about is if the code taints OS compatibility projects like Samba or Evolution. If developers use MS code, does the entire project become MSFT's, or does it provide a powerful tool for MS to stomp out these projects?

  15. Re:Trends, Big Brother, etc. on Deus Ex Writer Discusses 'Dangerous Technology' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It is because the people who are the most at risk are usually working too much to do anything about it, living from paycheque to paycheque. When you have your own problems, who cares if the government is picking on the immigrants. Who cares that e-mail's getting bugged? Who cares if some crack addict got the living sh*t kicked out of him for speeding in California. The other side of the coin is the guy who has enough money to live like a king, has influence in the community. Are they going to upset the boat? No, because its these laws that help keep them where they are. The balance of power is just that, a balance. You take too much, and the people have nothing. When they have nothing, then they have nothing to lose, and that's when civil revolt occurs. Read Macheiovelli's 'The Prince' for a much better understanding of what's going on in the world, and what has gone on in the world since we started walking upright.

  16. Re:paradime change on Using Mozilla in Testing and Debugging · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The big problem with web-based tools is that there is greater incentive for the software to become a subscription service, rather than a product. The upside to this is for every web service out there, there is an open source version trying to do the same thing, or a compiled shareware version because somebody is too cheap to sign up for the subscription.

  23. Re:Not that it matters... on Analysis of RIAA vs Princeton Student · · Score: 1

    But how often can they do that? Each case would most definately be high profile to make their point. How much can the RIAA afford? They are not going to be paid for this one, and after one or two courtroom circuses, they can't do a whole lot.

    And Princeton should send a couple of the Professors to defend this case, use the students as clerks, junior lawyers, etc. and let them really learn something. Princeton has put out some pretty good lawyers (if you can call a lawyer good) So let's see if the students have exceeded their masters.
