"Just wait till the come out with some nano-bots that run off this process and will scrub the plaque off your arterial walls. That would be the killer app.
What if they don't stop with the plaque?EEYYYWWWWW!!!!!!!
No, some have killed their souls. Sad and horrible.

I don't know why your post was labeled funny. Those are actually good ideas (except the start your car part). I think the primary use of this device will be to power biomedical devices implanted in the human body. Start thinking about how to power a set of artificial legs on about 20 watts.
She picked you didn't she? You had no idea what was going on until you woke up to the fact you had a girlfriend. I mean that scenario doesn't even work for porn.
Actually, since the Coca-Cola recipie is not patented, you CAN do a chemical analysis and get a similar cola. The packaging is however trademarked and if you infringe on that you will get sued.
I would like to mention one thing though. As someone who is both a professional chemist, and who was a professional chef, have YOU ever tried to analyze the flavor components of a foodstuff? Let me give you a clue, the syrup is made from LIVING CELLS, a.k.a. fruit. Good Luck, call me back in the 25th Century when you're done.
The dysutopian possibility is happening now.
Historical trends now established for the US, if not stopped, will have the majority of the people (90% +) at the economic status of serfs. Robotic armies (if they can do construction they can do destruction) will make revolution VERY difficult.
Probable outcome for the US is economic and military eclipse in the next 50 years followed by collapse. Robotic technology and short sighted economic policies will simply accelerate the process.
The only way out of the above scenario is to structure the economy in such a way as to produce the Information Age equivalent of Thomas Jefferson's yeoman farmer. The Industrial Age equivalent was the Middle Class, and that was secured only through near revolution and some heavy duty legislation. Don't forget that during the Great Depression many people fell back onto subsistance farming.
For precedents please read the (economic) history of The Soviet Union, Great Britan, Russia, The Roman Empire, The Empire of Alexander the Great, Egypt, China, Greece, France, Spain, Portugal,...
I thought the most interesting part was in one of the depositions BSD argues that all of the overlapping code (filenames, headers, comments) is due to compatibility issues and following standards. Seeing as BSD won this case, SCO may have a problem. Especially since BSD code is essentially public domain (which is why OS X is based on BSD code, not Linux).

It was rewarded. It's codes were enacted, any further reward is unethical and should be violently illeagal. If the law becomes private property, then it is time for armed rebellion, because that my dear friend is tyranny.

Let me see if I got this straight. SBBI wrote up some building codes and got them enacted into law in two municipalities. Somebody decided to print the laws thus enacted. SBBI got upset and said that they had copyright protection. The 5th circuit court disagreed and said copyright does not apply to enacted law. SBBI is really upset and takes this to the Supreme court, which then proceeds to refuse to review the case. SBBI, which had hoped to make $$$ by selling the enacted code at some phenominal markup is still upset?
I'd shoot them just for trying to copyright enacted law.
So basicly when popular entertainment dies, it becomes art?
When did modern and post-modern art die? Why won't they stay dead? Who are the fools laying out big bucks for some guy to mentally masturbate all over a canvas?
Sorry, I seem to have some issues.
Probably because you never know where GNU code will wind up, but BSD code goes with the OS. That being said the BSD code is tighter, the GNU code is more generally applicable.

No.
It's been done. However, organisms that take that route tend to discard now useless things like legs and brains.

Yes.
It also burns UP! The majority of the Hidenburg fatalities were caused by other factors, mostly when the thing hit the ground.

I just skimmed the text, but it seems to me that sharing any files over a peer to peer network would become a felony. Upgrades or patches anyone?
My favorite is spagetti code. 27 pages of code that is never used by the program, mmm.

Asimov wrote Nightfall.
I use Kmail for e-mail and Mozilla for web browsing. It makes a nice combination.
