Knowing my clients, I smell a new "insurance product"... a general "electronic age" insurance product to cover online fraud (buyer/seller problems), identity theft and now phishing. "e-Policy" or something.
Another study showed that getting rid of computers completely would create MILLIONS of jobs for something called "file clerks" and other information workers. Something called "stenaography" would blossom as a new field, and "typists" would be in high demand at EVERY company WORLDWIDE!

yah! um maybe.. I think? not sure if I'm excited or not.. I want the Hobbit done by Peter Jackson.. but it just seems like "hey look how cool this *could* be" sort of hype.
The joke is that out back they have a blackboard and chalk and some actual books that they'll use when the whole system crashes. See, its all just a return to the 3-R's.
And this gives highschool nerds ultimate power, to hack - disable and otherwise compromise other people's lockers. At least with my locker (back in the day) there were a limit number of very physical actions you had to take to "crack" or denial-of-service a lock. This just adds "oops, the machine just took a crap" to a longer list.
In other news, kids don't care - they just want to interact with their peers. - preferably not at school.
Your build should be in some sort of Versioning system (CVS, whatever). SOMETHING that allows you to cover your butt with you `rm` that folder and realize you just tanked the whole thing. Somehow you should be able to rebuild any version of your project back to day 1.
Its amazing how the internet makes you forget about the real, actual world around you... how things that seem amazingly omnipresent really don't exist anywhere else. Its sort of its own little fantasy world, run by hyperactive squirrels on crack.
Good. No more Perry Como forced down our soldier's throats (ala Good Morning Vietnam).. they get to hear the music they bring, and they share in what other soldiers bring too.
Doesn't matter if its a super-better-way-of-doing-things... If it actually causes competition with the big players (google, msn,yahoo).. then it is a good thing.
As a hobby, I play around with ways to classify spam. Not much of a hobby, but I find the problem interesting.
Lately, I've also been trying to use my vectorspace engine to classify spam.. so these sorts of things might get in, but only because they fall into the general category of readable text...
I've also been thinking about building a GPL tool to provide "sound-based" classification sort of like a "one second orchestra" playing in harmony/disharmony based on the content.
Regardless of the engine I use, I still have to dig through my trash bin every few days to make sure nothing good slipped through.
"Ohh.. I'd love to participate.. can you hold on a minute"
set the phone down. Wait a few minutes, pick up
"crap, sorry.. can you hold on just a minute longer. I'm real excited about your call"
set the phone down.
rinse, repeat.
In college I had a ceramics/wheel-thrown pottery prof who told a great story about fingerprints.
He was a Raku(sp?) artist, which is a clay base that has a lot of sand in it... your pieces are more glass than stone. Additionally, you reduction fire it so your glazes come out with streaks of metal.. theres also some neat stuff with crackle and wood chip carbon filling the cracks.
ANYWAY... think about it, this guy was doing his graduate work in an art medium that require him to have his fingers brushing against what amounts to sandpaper every day for several months.
He was pulled over for speeding, and for one reason or another ended up going "downtown" to get printed (probably for being vocal about certain "pork related" professions - this was the 1960's). One minor problem, the Raku had filed off all his prints (temporarily). After much interogation, and a night in jail, he was able to get a hold of his major professor to clear up the matter the next day. They assumed he was some sort of fugative.
Lets see.. I remember a very detailed Expose on these so called "borrowed ladders".
Gee. You write a movie about it, and it takes almost 10 years for it to become a top news story on slashdot.
I also remember an eye-scan in a movie using a plucked eye. Spaceballs used an unconscious guard's hand. As well as the "removed hand".
Even scooby doo, Daphne used powder makeup to bring out the pattern of a thumbprint on a scanner to unlock something or other.
My company has a vectorspace engine that can help you classify docs that are related. given a SQL query you should be able to find related information.
We'd be happy to help you build something, or help you through the build process.
It works under windows, linux, and we just completed eSeries, iSeries and zSeries certification through IBM's chiphopper program (we haven't updated the website yet).

People wear masks, costumes that denote a role in an interaction. In politics and power, a suit denotes a certain amount of serious interaction.
Just like someone wearing a suit to a LUG meeting might be met with suspicion at first.
I used to wear my hair long (+beard, nickname of "J.C." for the look). It was comfortable and I enjoyed it, but in many situations I had to conform to the costume in order to be taken seriously.
Me forcing you to wear a suit is just as bad as you forcing me to interact with you in the office when you haven't bathed in a week. If you're sitting on a beach, I am prepared to meet you in shorts (even if I am not). If in a metalshop, I expect you'd be covered in grease or grime.
In a formal capacity, I am expecting you to put on the monkeysuit and adhere to the rules of the game.
As a sign language interpreter in Jueneau, AK I once met the governor (Tony Knowles), and he gave us (two teachers, me, and the deaf child) a personal tour of the governors office. Alaska is such a cool place.
I am an American, and I have to say to mr. Stallman:
Please wear a suit when trying to meet with foreign dignitaries.
And at least wear your hair back and trim your beard a little. You look like a hippy slob, and that was how you were received.
You do free software a disservice by appearing like don't you give a crap. You expect them to take you seriously looking like you don't take them seriously?
unfotunately a machine won't look at something and say "Should this be done?"
A human free world is very pretty, but rather dull.
Thermonuclear destruction
Hypothesis proven. But where can I get a good drink, and dance with a pretty girl?

I unpatent the idea of an ink pen that the ink will immediately disappear or show in red if the document is on transient paper.
Now, to add some photosensitive materials, and you get a kick butt game of laser tag that can show where its been hit.

Why not just send em Goatse/Tubgirl/SomethingAweful pics at random. Then use image magick to over write "I am a thief, stealing Wireless acess"
