We could make a whole series, with cartoons and everything! We do off course need some villains. How'bout Darl, Gates, Balmer, (Gore?), anyone else?. They could have a huge villain-castle (with armed guards, shark-pools, doomsdaybuttons and everything!) on a cliff somewhere where they could plan out their world domination schemes, by the means of evil software and huge lawsuits (imagine Darls army of evil lawyers and gates' army of evil coders!)
Then they could get their ass kicked by FOSS-gang (we need a cooler name), and the world could be saved, untill same time next friday (I can hear Darl shouting: "I will come again! Do you hear me!? I will get you the next time! Arrrgh!").
We could earn millions! And this way we can spread the word of FOSS to kids around the world via Cartoon Network! Our own little world-domination scheme, he he (slightly manical laughter). Worth thinking about. Any goot cartoon-artists here? I can write the script! Anyone??
Very small, very expensive but quite safe. Some terrorism hype here to, but nothing like the US. It shouldn't be to hard to move here either, since you're an American citizen (though I don't really know anything about what it would take).
I don't think we have much to worry about in the face-recognition department... I actually tried with a picture of Bill Gates, and they matched it to "Steinar Bastesen", a Norwegian fisherman and member of parliament, even though they've got Bill Gates in their archives...
Yep. This does it. Norway (my beloved country...) is not a full member of the EU, and I used to be quite pro membership, But not anymore. We cannot allow this foolish lack of democracy to happen! Laws and the legal-system is there to protect ALL the people and THE WHOLE society, not just those with a lot of money and to much greed for their own good!
Those of you who are EU-members: Do something! Show these people that you don't accept that your democratic rights gets flushed down the toilet!
The Norwegian Broadcast Company (NRK, similar license model as BBC) has done something similar for a while now. All the programs they produce inhouse is aired live online, and is also stored in the archive. so you can access it whenever you like.
For the moment this is free for everybody (registration required though), and can be reached abroad (handy for me as an exchange-student in the UK).

You obvioulsy didn't read the article... This is about some guy meaning that companies can expect lawsuits from employees because the company doesn't do enough to protect their employees from spam...
I would use PDF, but I've yet to find a good PDF editor for Linux. What do you recommend ?
I recomend Openoffice.org 1.1, with the nice pdf-export button on the toolbar.
In older versions, print to file and the use ps2pdf.

I think we will see a lot more adoption abroad.
I assume you mean abroad as in not US. The comparison under is not quite fair, favors small countries and is in no way accurate, but who cares... My point is, Linux is widely adopted outside the US.
Random numbers are those you cannot predict. I'm no physicist, but I think quantum theory says that many natural events occur randomly - that is, there's no way of knowing which slit a photon will 'choose' to go through, and it isn't particularly 'based on' anything except a 50/50 probability.
This is very true. Heisenbergs uncertainty principle states that you cannot know both the position and the momentum of a particle (i.e. photon) simultaneously with complete certainty. For an optical sensor this means that there is no way of knowing both exactly where a photon wil hit or when or with what enery. This must qualify as random, or nothing do.

Try Norway (can't help it, love my country!).

WinNT/2K/XP machines can format, read and write 4gb FAT partitions but DOS/Win9x/WinME machines can't.
This is not true. I use Win98 and have 3 20GB partitions on a 60GB FAT disk.

For this I would take a look at the MP3-Box HOWTO. It describes a setup for a networked mp3 player, with low noise and everything.
