A scenario in which customers might care about the source code could be one in which your software handles customer AND client data and the client (the one using your software) needs to in some way advertise the security and fitness of the software to safely handle their customer data.
Advertising that it is publicly available and allowing new clients to hire anyone they like to review it might be advantageous. It allows clients to provide customers with an assurance that though they outsource the service to a 3rd party, (your software company) they have an independent review of the open source platform they are using and can offer a higher degree of assurance than a similar company outsourcing that service to a closed source platform.
We have an open source search engine : http://nutch.apache.org./ But we need a distributed index storage system that is uncensorable and/or trackable. Do we have that?
It would seem incentive enough that driving badly can result in injury, death or jail time, simply for being negligent in your responsibility to navigate the road safely. I think it is arrogance that makes legislators think that a problem has a legislative solution. It is an example of those who have only incompetent hammers, seeing everything as a nail.
Go to the bank and rent a safe deposit box. Call T-Mobile from the bank. State that you are about to prove that you aren't responsible for the calls. Ask for a case number/issue number some item to document the phone call has taken place. End the call and place the phone in the deposit box while in the presence of some official witness. Be sure to turn the phone off. Leave the bank, and wait 1 month for the bill. Then return to the bank, retrieve some record showing that the deposit box hasn't been opened and send a notorized copy of the record via certified mail to T-mobiles customer service division. Be sure to ask if they would like to reimburse you for the safe deposit box, the notory fee and the minutes stolen.
There is a need for applications which can dial cellphones in pseudo-normal patterns and automated surfing programs which mimick the traffic patterns currently occurring in one's area. If one is using this kind of a program, then no one could say that ones call or surfing patterns provide probable cause, because it would not in fact have been you doing the calling/surfing.
In fact, tonight, I'm gonna call a stranger and suggest they do the same.
The internet is so not fragile it isn't even funny. Can people make it hickup and sneeze along minor portions of it? Yes. Is it fragile? Hell no! It's been running for 20 years across the globe. It has been hammered by viruses, trojans, organized DDOS attacks and world-wide calamities and their corresponding data-storms and still the internet as a whole has functioned. It may simply be that the internet is not enough of a singular entity to be susceptible to a singular vulnerability. Computers are fragile, software can be fragile, but the aggregation of those two into an organism made up of millions perhaps even billions of machines is not fragile. The DDOS attack on Blue Security, when compared to the totality of the internet is practically meaningless. The only thing that might make the entirety of the internet fragile would be a universal vulnerability which has no workaround and cripples the main traffic routes of the internet itself. Maybe this will happen, but I think even then, the internet will continue to function but perhaps just along it's backroads and private secure networks.
Paper receipts should be a no brainer, as should be open source software for voting machines. Too bad this isn't occurring in every state, yet. Or is it? I am an ignorant person about this topic. Someone enlighten me.
The Freitag bags are extremely customizable, waterproof, made of recycled materials, simple to use. too simple to break and don't look like laptop bags.
This website allows you to 'construct' the bags virtually before you order. (That alone is worth the $50, right?)

Ironic that people are ridiculing having to pull out a sea shell to recall files about a trip to the beach. I seriously doubt that an actual person would be recalling the memento, but a machine rather would be maintaining the memento such that one would not be limited by language to find information about a natural object, whether it be a protein, a shell, a star, a bullet or DNA, your memento retrieving DBMS could find all information available as soon as it detected a possible memento object. This could be a labor saving step in collecting, organizing and sharing data.
This could be great for archaelogists, police records, biologists, astronomers. One could use any device for detecting a memento which would be the key for retrieving all info on the object. For example a scan of a particular artifact would bring up all data on that artifact that an archaelogist or many archaelogists had saved. Instead of using a scanner one could use much more sensitive devices and create very large memento profiles for complex items. This could be developed for archiving data of all sorts, especially for collecting data on one subject from a wide variety of sources and data types.
Anyone who thinks this is useless does not spend enough time in the real world. Real object recognition is totally necessary to have any way of compiling information about real objects with machines.

Due to all the migration that will be going on in there. And the low temperatures... Plus the interesting division of the land in a country where all property is collectively owned is somewhat reminiscent of the loose assignation of disk space and permissions in a network.
"As Mr Sneath says:
The territory of the hoshuu generally contained a number of different areas of pasture used in winter, spring, summer and autumn. These seasonal pastures were divided between various sums and bags, and within these areas the individual households had customary use-rights to particular pastures. In effect this meant that each family owned no land as such but had a recognised area of pasture that it used in the different seasons, and of these the rights to the exclusive use of winter pasture (ovoljoo) tended to be the most strictly enforced."

OSX Server supports IP over Firewire, and you could create multiple logical interfaces with that one ethernet port as well.

I was just warming up to the idea of a 1.8 this 2.16 Ghz is gonna take some getting used to. Can I handle that much speed?
