Well as long as they have your business card in their rolodex. And will not call some very expensive Oracle guy after shit hit the fan and now are paying Oracle consultents your money times many for just advice.
This reluctance makes me think about my car insurance. I have it and my driving license for almost 10 years but never had an accident but still pay about (average cause in the beginning its more expensive) $725 a year for now ten years.
The chance of me getting into an accident now are almost zero.
You may be right as I don't know any patent of Coca Cola except maybe bottle shapes and other things. Which according to you would have eventually hurt their business and make anyone make cola like coca cola.
On a side note I found this site after looking at your about.com one. This one shows pictures of all the different kinds of paperclips.
That was a nice price you offered. However many people that aren't into computers wouldn't understand you. So you would need to use some FUD. Like many companies did with the Y2K (bug?).
Your comment makes me think about the paperclip and any patents it may have had.
Compare that to the arguments on Slashdot against patenting algoritmes. As a paperclip is basically a algorithme to deform a piece of metal to some useful.
Doesn't the guy who invented the paperclip deserve some money? If so why don't software developers that invent some algorithme?
They had the same problem in the Netherlands, satelite networks/commercial networks were restricted in many ways.
The got arround that by having there HQ in a foreign country and airing about 1 hour a day in that foreign countries lang. Just to proove they are a foreign broadcaster.
So what if those satelite broadcasters would do the same? I mean set up their HQ in Mexico or something and broadcast on hour a day (in the down hours of course) in spanish. And the rest of the day they could do anything they wanted as Mexico doesn't fall under the FCC. That is if the FCC don't want to engage jammers.
You know about the Martha Steward case? Some rich and famous woman that on trial for preknowledge stock trading. In her case nothing really fancy sure she made some bucks out of it.
Now imagine it was a guy in jail for the same thing. Which is not what I would call a sin maybe something wrong but not bad/evil. Would that guy deserve to get raped. I say no!
I think prison authorithies should notice who likes to rape the same sex (in woman prisons there is also rape) and put those people on the same department.
If people reject to this then the judges verdict should be and officially recorded (I know Amenesty International would like that): "I verdict you to x years in prison and possible rapes (torture).
Then get the US to offically admit that rape is something natural in US prisons and internationaly it would be considered as torture.
Mammals were the size of mice at those days. And mice tend to feed on small plants and insects. And insects will defently survive a lot of things as people also think that the first land dwelling animals were insects even before land based plants, trees or fish. Also a lot of insects only need to eat twice a year.
So the mammals could survive. Reptiles are cold blooded and like insects don't need a lot of food. And perhaps only the smaller once survived and they grew that what you are used now. As Elephants used to be little rat like creatures once.
But what about birds? I think because they could fly (move fast from one area to another), were small and like dino's were hot blooded. They survived.
I saw once this docu that actually the age we are in now can be called the age of the birds. As they are everywhere even in cities were only humans and rats can survive.
I agree rape is not funny. And coming from Americans that have an huge official problem with reconizing same sex mariages. (Their President hates it) But you can you allow someone in prison on financial grounds to be subject to sodemy?
I doubt your price estimates are correct as top of line VIA mini itx boards are cheaper then that what you quoted.
From the mini itx site: Cheapest casing + CL10000 motherboard (at 1Ghz but has two LAN's) + 512MB (is max in this config) + 160 GB HD (you'd be better of with a third party sold HD here) ---+ 519.10 or 358.00
However you can save a lot of money by buying your hd, ram and casing somewhere else. Please remember about the story about the first google servers. They don't need to look good just work. (The first google servers were build from Lego blocks)
However I would think the first generation VIA mini itx boards (those at 500 Mhz) would be very useful for specific uses. Like for web hosting companies.
A lot of websites/projects like those on geocities, Lycos, email accounts, and even source forge start with a great goal but at the end they only get maybe 5 hits a month and are updated once every 6 months, if they are at all.
Well have them automagically moved to a cheapo VIA mini itx server. When the traffics gets hot then move "automagically" them to some high-end and energy hungry server. The total price would be for such a complete system (256MB, 80GB, Fanless, casing and other things) 329.15. However a $200 wallmart PC should be able to handle those sites also very well. But now energy consumption of a VIA vs $200 PC?!
Why do you think humans are weak? I mean they live in more different environments then most other mammals. And they (humans) are thriving in them. Except maybe for domesticated animals.
I saw this program om Nationa Geo or Discovery Channel and it showed that the green house effect was actually very good for the rain forest.
The Brazilian rainforest has never been that dense and tree's have never grown that high. This all due to more CO2 on the air, which algea, plants and tree's depend on.
So the green house has a side benifit. But as an other poster said it's not about save the nature but save the human as nature WILL adept! As the denser rainforests have proven. So there will be more deserts but that mean also more plants that consume less water. And insects that can live of them and roadents that life of those. But it's only a real problem for the human race.
I wonder when google will enter webhosting. I mean the have all the tools to do it right. Instead of 1GB of space 50 MB of space and some GB of bandwidth.
I'm sure they will not get screwed in general as most geocites/lycos/msn/blogs don't get more then 10 hits a month and nine of them being the webmaster himself and the other one his mother. (lol like my site)
Slashdot Mirror
I'm sorry but the article was about the desktop enverioments being bloated and slow. Not the filesystems and the kernel.

If you can't see the business opportunity for a small and cheap business server distro solutions. Then you must be blind.
1. Do the things mentioned in other posts.
2. Distributed OS.
3. Offer offsite backups
4. Profit!
It sounds like boycotting Apple adds in a PC magazine.
I was also thinking why he didn't offer wireless internet instead of DSL.
You could put the wireless antennas on the same contructions that hold the mobile phone antennas.
This way you rent a space on the mobilephone antenna and only pay for your devices on it. No new infrastructure/contructions needed.

I'm sure they will use Windows Media Player for file management which als works on Apple OSX.

One of my favourite games was based on a movie. It was ET for the Atari 2600. Man that game was hot in its time.
Yeah but what happens when the spores of these algea get in to wild (ocean)? They will disrupt ocean life.
And don't tell me GM crops are safe as they have been know to mix with non GM'ed neighbour fields.
Why are all those that oppose to this persons views Anonymous Coward? If you are so sure of your self then post with you /. logins.
I saw this series of docu's on two roque FBI agents . You should watch it it's called X files or something.
In your comment to forgot to mention Russian Oil and potential African Oil and gas. I know at least one african region with a lot of gas.

If you just interested in something that works and has everything that a linux distro may offer. I would go Mandrake.
And don't forget to use irc.freenode to ask questions on the #mandrake channel and they will help you with any problem.
Go for a hybrid fuel/battery car. Thats the best option for you.
For big attachments you should use YouSendIt (http://www.yousendit.com/howdoesitwork.aspx)
