I think you hit the nail on the head here. EU governments would be incapable of deciding how to fund, implement and manage a system like this. On a more cynical note if it did exist a member state would most likely come up with a means to get funding or grants for each of their citizens in the system so we could expect to see the population of Europe explode to about 20 billion over a 4-5 month period.
As spamming techniques get ever more sophisticated I confidently expect my currently under construction clinic to be innundated with aliens looking for penis and tentacle (I dont want to discriminate) enlargement.
What a prospect, Aliens desperately trying to ignore us as a civilisation and scramble their transmissions to sound like noise after receiving a few sitcoms from the seventies totally puts them off the idea of contacting us.
Fucking loon. After all his rabid crap. Lets see him go OJS(Open Journalistic Source), work for free and distribute it to whatever fool is willing to purchase
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to make illegal copies of my words and destroy my IP rights. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
Order two, and all your friends will think you are a lucky lucky bastard shagging two birds. Get them to dance together and you will make your friends sick with envy:-)
I doubt that Redhat make much, if any profit through their retail to the general public so it makes sense for them to concentrate on their corporate clients and let joe six pack down load it if he wants it. Probably means layoffs for the people involved in the shrinkwrapping though
Absolutely. Unfortunately the other efforts which Corel have made at attempting to become lead early adopter of technology eg Linux and Java have ended in what many would term disaster. With that track record I would be dubious about anything Corel promote, esp when the IDE is a grand a go.
I think it would be more profitable to charge irritated passengers to form an orderly queue and take turns beating sense into the annoying twat on the phone Airplane Movie style
You seem to be overlooking the fact that the X-Prize guys have not really achieved anything substantial at this point in time, and by substantial I mean compared to NASA'a achievements. The 2020 prediction looks pretty optimistic to me given the cost of space exploration with no short to medium term ROI its difficult to see the private sector putting the money up. More likely is that in 2100 private investors will be demanding NASA share their technology so they can jump on the bandwagon.
Also in the current climate I cant see any way the US government would allow independent development of technology which could ultimately be used to destroy at a stroke the technology advantage the US currently enjoys.
Thats the real beauty of this car, friendly to the environment, choice of shells, and no doubt it will provide several highly entertaining Darwin award nominations

I'm relieved, I had visions of a gigantic sprout trying to eat me. I'll never eat vegetables again.

Cody i think the word you are looking for is actually a combination of two words, its a shitload of IP addresses
