Yes. It is tough to replace something that is a big PoS. Have you ever tried writing say a thesis or a book in Word? Try it. And then try writing it in LaTeX or Apple Pages --- let us know how it goes after you discount the learning factor.

One problem which the article does not address is how to convert IP, and by implication Patents, to actual innovations and further, how to prevent people from filing Patents to hurt other companies.
Very simply, IMHO, although IANAL.
Each valid patent is to be tentatively issued for a period of a year. The holder of the Patent may petition the USPTO for an extension of the validity if and only if the Patent is used in some product that is actively and commercially marketed. Otherwise, the Patent will lapse and the IP will fall into the public domain.
This will prevent people from filing a patent which they intend to abuse.
At a recent computer expo, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon. In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "General Protection Fault" warning light.
The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
Every time GM introduced a new car, car buyers would have to learn to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.
Tried it out - nice - except for one small thing - your page returns the "probability of murphy striking" which is always is greater than 1.
Probability, by definition, lies between 0 and 1, both inclusive, with 0 implying that it will never occur and 1 implying that it will always occur - or so say the mathematicians.
What ? This sounds like a whole lot of BS to uninformed and ignorant me - so can you please clarify what u mean by
1." Reading a hard drive while subtracting the top level bit pattern from the signal will allow the previous signal to be retrieved,"
- what is the "top level bit pattern" ?
- Lets say you read the hard drive and get a analog signal which we denote by A. If this signal is comprised of two components - the dominant B and another component C, then by subtracting B, all u get is the low power signal C. how do you propose processing this ?
2. An electron microscope is unnecessary and won't work
- an electron microscope for reading magnetic patterns on hard disks ? I didnt know electron microscopes could read magnetic patterns. - can they ?
If cygwin is not upto production standard, then maybe you can evaluate Unix for Windows - it was originally an ATT labs product - but now seems to have been sold. You can download a non-commercial version for free (as in beer).

By law any citizen can watch the count - including you - if they so wish.
Interesting....how would this law be applicable if and when electronic ballots are used ? Can't one reasonably argue that auditing the source code is the only possible way this law can be enforced in an all electronic scheme ?
Extremely interesting post - which brings about the question of whether the ideas of communism and capitalism arose from buddhism/hinduism/etc and christianity respectively.
The former religions inherently believe that humans, by themselves are good and/or perfect, while christianity inherently believes that humans are imperfect/sinful/bad. Hence, the former religions stress more on attaining that perfect state, while christianity relies more on confessions etc to attain salvation.
For e.g., http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/apologet ics/ap0008.html says
"Since individuality is illusion, so is free will. If free will is illusion, so is sin. And if sin is illusion, so is hell. Perhaps the strongest attraction of Eastern religions is in their denial of sin, guilt and hell.
Thus the two essential points of Christianity -- sin and salvation -- are both missing in the East. If there is no sin, no salvation is needed, only enlightenment. We need not be born again; rather, we must merely wake up to our innate divinity. If I am part of God. I can never really be alienated from God by sin. "
They want "all documents" eh ? why not - all possible documents that you may have - including software manuals - printouts of code - everything possible and hopefully the FSF should be able to manage something around a million pages - if u cant make it - just printout a page with IBM written on it and copy it a hundred thousand times - and of course bill them for it - say a reasonable 10c a page - and along with shipping and let them sort through what they want - mebbe next time, they'll make more reasonable requests.
Elections in India are more of a popularity contest than anything else. The one who is more popular today wins and people do not care too much as to who is in power.
To some extent this is a valid reaction. Considering the size ( in all senses of the word - population, financial stores etc), the elected government rarely matters.
Try downloading the software_companion cd - has all those compiled and ready to install in both pkgadd format - and with a webstart installer - u dont even need to burn a cd - just use lofiadm
Also check http://www.sunfreeware.com
Hmm..interesting all right - but I fail to see how this is intelligent - esp since it comes from the intelligent machines lab. Working in a fixed layout - like an office- routes can easily be precalculated and thus, at most it needs a collision avoidance mechanism, rather than an intelligent route discovery mechanism.

ps: Yes, I know this question has no practical implication what so ever. Just the legal curiosity.

Yeah - that step would fall under "work". and no, posting to slashdot doesn't count.
