    hmmm I tried to order some of that viagra but the webesite didn't accept my credit card, which is very wierd because it worked perfecly well when I paid to view the webcams installed in some university's girl showers.

  4. But how private is it? on Smart People in the News: Rheingold, Gosling · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When you go to a doctor and you get a prescription, you get a database entry printed out on a piece of paper. You can walk into any clinic and they can get your records immediately
    Now imagine an insurance company somehow get access to this database. Fail an eye test and 2 weeks late your car insurance increases....
    But this is a good thing as long as the database is secure and can only be accessed for medical reasons.

    Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds.

    I would say women are even worse then men at "going mad and following the herd".

    it would also be nice if MS rereleased its old Windows (like NT, 98) under the GPL so we could play with them.
    or if they started writing bug free software
    or if the riaa let all its lawers go and hired a bunch of techies to create a working alternitive to its current distribustion system.
    the list goes on and on

    So, what happens if I turn up to volume a bit?

    You'll be in breach of contract and they'll come and get you, because turning up the volume means other people can hear their Audio content aswell, and after all you've only paid for one license.

    I know that in Europe companies can (and often do) patent products just so their competition can't make it. That defenatly doesn't improve inovantion.

    But instead of getting better our patent system is turning more and more into a copy of the american.
