Go ahead and give them the code. When they start modifying it, taking it to 3rd parties, and using it at other businesses, stare at the ground and tremble your lower lip. That night, get into an argument with your wife and kick the dog.
The most obvious example of how it would negatively interfere with commerce is that it would instantly turn most of the nation's best and brightest into criminals. How much would it cost to arrest and prosecute everyone here?
Well, I have to admit that watching Leonid Breezhnev take a shower is not something that you can see everyday, but I think I'll pass anyway, thank you.
Oh, all right. Some people might actually do this, but it reminds me of that old saying about how every problem looks like a nail when all you have is a hammer.

I've been wanting a secure PDA for years. My Palm III is always saying things like "You don't think I'm too old, do you?" and "Those Pocket PC's sure look thin." I'm about ready to trade it in for a "trophy PDA".
I'm a regular reader of the sci-fi magazines, and I have to say, the stories in this collection are so much better than 95% of what gets published in those magazines.

On the bright side, it gave her the courage to finally let go and bury him. Her house was starting to smell pretty bad.
Because I'm good enough, I'm strong enough, and gosh darnit, people like me.
Oh, and I'm not such a wimp that I post as AC, I have the courage to post under an anonymous pseuodonym, thank you.
Hey anyone ever notice how similar "Linus" and "Linux" are?
I don't so much want to learn about ontologies. I want to learn what an ontology is.
They heard about the World Wide Web and assumed it was their responsibility.
bwaaaa haaa haaa
"We believe we have certain rights as a corporation to use this information,"
Question for the NAL's here: Does a corporation have "rights" at all? Real question. I would like to know.
Me wonders
Is that some kind of racist joke?
I wonder how they plan to track purchases made with cash?
Precisely why from now on I will NEVER use my credit card when making crack purchases.
Robots don't have hearts, unless the Wizard gives them one, and if you know a wizard, hey, who needs surgery?

Well, these are all things that I like. I don't need 400 pages to talk about it though.

A palm on the back of your wrist! You know what's next. We'll be eating with our butts and walking on our hands.
True story:
Some years ago when I was working for a toxicology laboratory, I happened to run into an old high school acquaintance.
Him: So what do you do now?
Me: I test drugs.
[pause]
Him: Cool. So, do they just like give them to you?
Q: How many [insert geek type here] does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: What are you, an idiot?
Does anyone find it strange that the BBC is getting the scoop on a NASA story?
Oh, all right. Some people might actually do this, but it reminds me of that old saying about how every problem looks like a nail when all you have is a hammer.
Aaaaaah, that's what I figured. Now that I'm up to speed, I guess I can go get that "Real Accredited University Degree!" now.

I think I'm fine with what I've got - although, the glass tops on tables does make using optical mice a pain there.
I thought I was fine with what I had too, until I got a glass tabletop... and started working without pants. Now I just cry every time I look down.

Geez, that's just embarrassing.
