  1. Re:Smaller population - by far. on Stephen Hawking Asks The Internet a Question · · Score: 1

    The easiest way to get from here to there is to do nothing and keep reporoducing. Eventually we'll either trigger global nuclear war, ecological distaster or something else. Then only those with a lucky combination of mutated genes will survive. The more of us there are to more of us will survive. Then we may end up with a lucky million mutants.

  4. Is it Open Source? on Writing Genetic Code · · Score: 5, Funny

    Seriously, are we going to have both propriatory as well as free genetic code organisms? What's the legal status of a living being that's a result/offspring of a crossing/mating between a propriatory and a GPL organism?

  14. What about anti-Spam programs on On The Privacy Subtleties Of GMail, Other Webmail · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I do not see any privicy issues if a program reads my email in a single pass and add ads as soon as it does not store the data, does not integrate and post-analyze the data, does not use the data for profiling, etc. Plus, you do not have to use gmail at all. However, if gmail raises privicy issues then what about anti-spam programs that read and analyze your email whether you want or not? Morever you do not even know if there is an anti-spam program when you send your email to foo@bar.net. Then what about censorship issues with anti-spam programs? If someone sends an offer for viagra to president@whitehouse.gov, and an anti-spam program stops it, is it an instance of anti-Consitutional censorship? I do not say that anti-Spam progams are evil but rather just making a point about to harsh fear of the beast that was not even born yet (officially).

    RIAA is countersuing SCO as the only legitimate owner of TCP/IP. Not only SCO is the owner of this evel protocol but it also was careless about it - so the protocol was stolen and included in all major OS-es including MS Windows, Un*x, Linux, OpenVMS, MVS, etc This evel protocol enables criminals to share copyrighted material over the Internet (which SCO in cooperation with the former vice President Gore invented)
