hmmm, maybe it's *complex* music of any kind that has this effect? Most popular music is very simple in structure and lyrics. As an aside, there are animals that make more complex songs than most rap "music".
nonsense, it is quite trivial to show litigation is a service which causes economic expansion just like any other service. The money made by litigation is spent and invested just like any other money.
The goodness or evilness of the service is of no economic consequence.
ah, but "historical knowledge" from writings & ruins does not make the same impression on the brain as sight & sound of actual events. This is a new experiment on the human mind we're going to be trying.
Is it normal or good for us to be able to actually here voices or see ancestors from 100+ years ago?....that might stagnate our civilization! It's bad enough movie producers can't think of new ideas and are rehashing movies and television shows of the last 50 years. I've even seen the THIRD rehash of some of the same old crap. Now we're able to recall every mundane thing from 3 generations ago with perfect clarity....eeek! Let the bits rot I say!
The Chicago job market is mostly dead - hundreds to thousands of application are received for a job opening......and those are only for experienced people. It seems your figures are from the dot-com era.

It's fun to do a calculation of all the landed ice melting & seeing that the rise in sea level would be about 80 meters. This has happened many times in the earth's past, and will happen again, with or without man doing anything to the climate.
even better, if you're on a 1099 basis for self employment, they might come for you if you improperly estimate how much money you might make. Maybe it's time for another tea party.
had a heck of a time & failed trying to get mod_ruby/eRuby working with apache2 under FreeBSD 5.x....maybe I'll give it another whirl with FreeBSD 5.21
hah, if you consider aleph-null (the first of the transfinites) countable/a number!
what about the analog fuel gauge of my car, how do we determine the exact reading of that?
I've been paid to code LISP in the past, and it's a great language & one way to do things, but I wouldn't want all languages to do things the LISP way. In the past 15 years I've found more fun in coding in other languages and am coding Ruby now for my own projects. There's other languages involving less typing than LISP to get a particular job done. Why should someone pollute their mind with one mindset before inventing something new?
There's a Nike Park in Naperville, IL. with a ball field and an office building. I used to work in that building which had a Nike missle bunker as its basement. The plan was to convert the space into a health club but thus far the owners haven't done anything with it. It was very cool to see, the missle lay horizontally and would be raised to fire through overhead doors at the Soviet bombers as they flew to Chicago. Anyway many such sites are now privately owned, they're just alot of very thick reinforced concrete and thick steel doors. They are gutted of interesting gear before being turned over to civilians, obviously.
haha, I was born in 1964, the year the "Pictaphone" was shown in the world's fair (required a dedicated T1, too). Ubiquitous video telephony has been on the top ten list of "just around the corner" items I've been hearing about my whole life, with other bullshit items like practical fusion power, the paperless office, beings of artificial intelligence, etc. At least we have cell phones and personal computers, good enough.
I do believe companies have the right to have closed source & to profit by it should they choose that, and that it is wrong to steal that code. But I have to laugh because of your post; we've *already* had 100's of millions of dollars of damage when MS operating systems source were secret. We've already had *MAJOR* problems. Crackers generally don't cause these problems by reading code, they
1. throw garbage at the system until something breaks 2. use social engineering to get the end user to execute code 3. make traps involving already patched bugs knowing most people are lax in applying them
Maybe this will light a fire under Microsoft's butt to start taking security seriously.
The adoption of Linux is ever-accelerating, it doesn't appear that SCO's claim is of any concern to most of them. The "customers" mostly are happy with things the way they are. Note "the code" is from NOT from Sys V, it is from 2 companies who added code to Sys V - only if SCO's claim of derived work has any legal merit is there a need to remove it. We know who contributed the code, we know what the code is now.
code audits are just one piece of security testing.....there's plenty of flaws that have been found in all major OS trying to break systems just by throwing different things at it. Being an OpenBSD fan, I see problem found where ICMPv6 on a listened tcp port can crash the 3.4 as version as found on distribution CD. Cracking contests are great for PR, true, but also yet another way to test security. Only relying on code audits is the same as trying to design aircraft by textbook only without ever doing wind tunnel test.
Yup, we have the means to deal with the products right now, just bury in the right place & manner. Even the plates that aren't downward going in the near term with have their stuff go downward eventually - that's why one can't find rocks on the earth that date as old the earth! Heck, anything we call "the environment" is going to be destroyed anyway.

dead? was it ever really alive?
We will of course first give them a chance to reveal their WMD, then invade

Niven's various novels are tied together in so many weird & twisted ways anyway....

Nope, actually, it's all about dying because you couldn't adapt
actually, the idea is that all poor will be considered hungry, and the meat patties will be used to enrich cattle feed
