A lunar array would not be in a gyrosynch orbit thus cutting a path across the earth. It seems to me that there would have to be a lot of satellites from here to the moon to relay the energy to earth. IMO that would be the real problm.
Actually AOL or someone else before the WWW(NOT the Internet) had banner adds or was even around. I remember that it wasn't Compuserve and that their service was cheaper too.
It took a long time to load them on a 2400 baud modem as well.
--Don't assume people don't care. They do care. The problem is the solution isn't there.--
I just have to bite on this one. I agree with you as far as developed nations go, but in some areas of this earth, it just doesn't matter. In those places everyone is poor. The US wastes enough to feed many of people of these places, yet even if we give these areas their food, the leadership there may still want to starve their own people. Something more could be done with better leaders, I would think. If someone chooses to be poor, I agree, nothing can be done. How many are poor around the world by choice?
--They shouldn't just ASSUME that the user has no use for it.--
At the risk of making an ASS out of U and ME, I would think that AOL should assume just that. What use would a AOL user have for MS messenger? I don't see what the problem is in this case. I could see where abuse could happen though.

Bull Shit! I pay taxes, am single. I ain't seen shit from Bush.
I do know that he gave those with kids a break on taxes but most of it went to the wealthy. Check your facts before you speak again!
When some state elects to change the law, the DEA comes down with their own rules that they make up as they go. Search Nixon, Vietnam, etc.
Even if the majority want a law changed, it takes someone with enough money to donate to a political entity(s) to actually make it happen.
So tell me again how the majority rule in the U.S. in this day and time? That ain't how it really works. You forgot to mention those who grease the wheels have an advantage as to what laws really get passed.
>>I don't know if it's effective at all, but it sure doesn't cost much - the virus notification is essentially a mild form of SPAM which few people really get up in arms about.
We'll count me as one of the few. I think that Symantec and Network Associates should be counted as spammers now because of this.

No, I agree, but, your average secretary is not going to know how to write to and read from a file.
Also, getting the formatting correct using this method might not be automatic. I believe this might be one reason Linux hasn't hit the corporate desktop yet. Training the untrainable can get expensive.
Comming out shortly (patent pending) there will be some pills that will make your penis smaller. I feel these can help out all of those people who bought those penins enlargement pills off of the internet and mistakingly took to many.

I think most people will accept these trade off's.
True. I guess "copyleft" would be a better description of what I meant. Of course SCO is claiming rights to the BSD's as well. We all know how trials can go. I know SCO has a very small chance of winning, but AT&T also lost at a time when they were big and powerful as well. I hope SCO runs out of cash and folds before it comes to the last appeal. Of course M$ has some $40 billion in the bank to fund SCO by proxy. I think they(M$) could afford to fight anybody.
So the main thing that will come out of this is whether the GPL is legal or not. If not, no more free software. SCO may burn out before that question is answered.

This is exactly right. So a law is passed in the US/EU that bans spamming. What good will it do if you are spamming out of the Island of Boola Boola?

--The mass that they can lift is significantly larger than the mass that they can return to Earth.--
Then why don't they cut it up and make more that one trip. They don't have to get it all at once.
It must be TARDIS powered. It's bigger on the inside than on the outside, that's all.

You don't have to. They(vote counters) are vollenteers in my state.
Also,
An old saying:
It's better to be a vote counter than a voter.
So I guess some(vote counters) are in fact paid.

--"How many are poor around the world by choice?"
I doubt many do it by choice. Problem is, are they doing enoughh to get out of it?--
If they are not "doing enough to get out of it", I would say that IS their choice.

I agree.
Still, sales will suffer from these tactics. Also, no one mentions DVD's are some times cheaper than CD's. Which would you buy?

Spam is Spam. There ain't no mild form.
Why is this Modded down? This person makes a good point, and may be what the big corps have in mind.

You would think that would be the case, but I think SCO mentioned BSD as well.
