There is some validity to your point. However you underime this project and all honey pots/nets when you say they are not a line of defense. They provide very valuable information that then goes into that line. Not to mention if you have a Decoy (one configured exaclty as the real and thought to be secure, except it has no valuable data) honey machine that gets hacked before your production one is. You now know how to prevent the intrider from attacking the real machine.
Its the fact that LoTR series has been made into Motion Pictures that is rasing the sales of the books. Maybe if some of his other works were made into TV series (not sure how well that would work) or also motion pics then his other works would sell.
It should be noted though that the sales of his other books have risen. They obviously just havn't sold as much as the LoTR series.

to slashdot, what O.J. Sipmson (and the IRAQ war) was to television.
Is there is some large untapped handheld market or do people own 2,3 and 4 handhelds? I bought one a few years ago and its not the kinda item that I think needs to be "upgraded" yet. All these gadets look really cool, but I can't justify buying a new one every year, or even every 2 years ( I can jsutify 2 years with a PC). I just always feel left in the dust and like by the time I can get a new one, I'll have missed out one something good. Or maybe just get in on something better.
Now that all the other social issues that teens face have all been meet head-on and dealt with, its good to see us turning our attention to more meaty topics.
Little Johny: Hey, Jimmy try this script out. First one is free tell your friends.
I do have a question. Does Syngres still offer their books in a downlodable text? I try to find this feature in most of my tech books and unfortunatley not many companies publish them this way.
What kind of laptops?
How many of these were they selling (as many as people would buy or a fixed number)?
Can Anyone buy one?
Can I buy one over the internet?
Would I want to buy one?
The list goes on. Anyone have any links to know the answers to any of these questions?

Gator Examined

Gator's password saving and form filling features are not perfect, but at least acceptable.
How can you trust your passwords to an app the likes of gator? It is clear to me that they have to ethical backbone.
If spammers cover their tracks then they can't be taxed. Just go after the spammed products that are advertised. This would stop spam at the source.
That wouldn't work. I know many don't view large drug companies as being very ethical. However, I doubt a company the likes of Pfizer needs to use spam to sell Viagra. They probabbly didn't need to spend 1$ to sell it for that matter. Yet, I we all know that we get a few of these messages a day. Sure many are for a bunch of unknown products that may or may not be directly tied to the spamer, but you would still have to go after the spamer or the person employing them and the products THEY sold.
Urban legend comes to life. Wasn't this a myth passed along (via spam of course) years ago. Except I think it claimed the USPS was responsible for the tax.

Tapping and bugging really does no good unless you've got someone listening all the time -
It was done this way for many many years. It is partly why many investigations took a long time to be fruitfull. There are also laws in some states that do not allow for a tapping to continue if after "xyz time" has passed without any usefull information.
Where have they been?

"...if you can turn analog audio into a digitally-useful product without massive human intervention.
Aren't CDs just that? If you really want to make a more usefull digital product, start scouting for some new tallent. American/Pop Idol isn't cutting it.:)~
If something like this could be used for making films. The idea being scaled modles of a scene. That would really help out student film projects, giving them something better to work with than plastice models and fishline.

Like the equivelant of recoding TV with rabbit ears? To much of pain, even for talk radio. maybe if this came with a subcription to satelite raido.

Does the RIAA/MPAA scare you? I would hate to build something, put my 'blood, sweat & tears' into something and then have these 2 breathing down on.
