This isn't even "terrorist information awareness" No serious "ODHOC" or terroist are charging chemicals for bombs on there credit cards! It Is Total Market Awareness obviosly!
Marketers already use public information databases to help target there intended audence. The pentagon probably already does this on a small scale. With a huge database with PRIVILAGED INFORMATION worth money it WILL be HACKED! or just put on a disk and SOLD to REAL TERRORISTS.

HA! Everyone knows that microsofts ultimate goal is total dependence for anyone who uses their products, just look at Palladium...and perhaps the wolf should feel good about going vegitarian.
If someone wanted to do some serious hacking, One could go about righting there own firmware for the Riovolt CD/MP3 player. it says it can suport other formats via new firmware but there is still the posiblity of not having enough processing power.
Think long and hard about that vote, because in the end it's just added to a number that is only used for reference. Are voting system has taken away all the power of the people and put it in the state. If e-voting becomes more widespread for elections even if we fall back on the people to break a tie, the numbers can still be manipulated.
aww what a same, like we need more people in this already overcowded and overtaxed planet. Praise Nader for giving mothers the right to make a choice (although one they should have made before hand..) to kill their babies. It's all meat. }:D
Besides at this point i'd take tolalitarianism over a police state that we are in currently..
"The music industry now is suffering nine, ten, fifteen percent losses in revenue. When you compound that over the next three or four years, the music industry is dead. I don't see a future for it. After awhile, who's going to produce it?"
everyone who enjoys making music!! we all know what kind of music is encouraged by the industry: mainstream rap and watered down whatever. {sarcasm} won't it be a shame when the music we trade isn't that shit that some lazy ass artist freestyled to a loop to meet his contract and is instead something made by someone who doesn't even expect to make money or apeal to a huge audience... damn that sucks for us {/sarcasm}
Lindows is already free and so is most of the software. Making it user friendly would make it the one and only choice for consumerOS. I say someone should create such a linux distrom i'd do it myself but i don't have the orginizational skills and i don't even run linux. such requirements to make it MUCH better then windows would be:
a click-and-run instalation base on the web similar to Lindows. This is where linux can really beat the crap out of Windows: free one-step instalation! there is no way MS can beat that and maintain a profit margin. This could be done by any and every company but obviosly security is a big issue here. eventualy there would be trusted sites for consumers. (forgive me for using those words)
Global variables for things like Resolution, Color sceme, etc. and acceptance of these into open programing architechre, or maybe just for this thread of linux
perhaps a single GUI renderer that any program could use, and the os could use. This might already exsist, i don't know, like i said before, i don't use linux!
Drag and drop types, this would be linked to the above thing.
international support in one single distro. This would require both the GUI renderer and the global user pref vars.
global ruotines, kind of like a direct-x or dare i say it VB where you can use other programs objects in your programs. This would help alot with the linux-video problem. the main point is to add a layer between multimedia and programs so you don't have to configure each program seperatly, again this may already exsist, i don't know. a global spell/grammer check that could be linked by any program would be good too.
this is just a begining list, im sure you can think of more things to add. other buzzword features would be: auto-update for all installed programs, secure-by-default, and other tasty goodies to make it so easy you don't have to do a thing or think about it at all. This is completely possible!! althogh some things are easier then others..

I think users will welcome the kind of change where they don't have to pay for their software, or even take a trip to walmart. If you are unfamiliar with click-and-run it is a service with Lindows you pay for to be able to click on a link on their home page that will install free software and create and icon on your desktop in one step. Anyone could recreate such a system and give it away for free with advert backing or with out ads if they were so inclined.
besides how many companies out there are more then capable of downloading some free software creating an installer for it and boxing it up and putting it on a shelf? The profit margins for such a project would be awsome, that is with the user-base to suport it
...and don't give a hoot about alphabet soup and buzzwords in the resume.
Thats probably the most valid point posted so far. People who are in charge often don't get there by knowing about the knitty gritty of OS or
OS. How many bosses are going to know or care what a Red Hat Certifed Engineer is? they are going to think what kind of idiot goes to school to enginer hats? and why red hats? whats wrong with black?
I don't understand people who think voting for anyone but the 2 most popular canadates is "throwing your vote away." If you ask me Voting for them is throwing your vote away cause it has such a small impact on the final numbers. Voting for Nader (which i did) has more impact due to the fact that you're affecting the final percentages more. perhaps if we all voted for who we really wanted, then maybe someday we will have a libritarian in office. that is if all the baby boomers are dead...

GPS! IBM's mini-DRIVE!
I would defenetly fork over the cash for this thing if it had one extra thing: GPS!!! a bigger harddrive (those IBM thumb drives would be great) wouldn't hurt either. Im sure this thing could handle emulators very smoothly as well.
If someone did create a doom playing AI via webcam, what would stop someone from straping it to a moble platform w/ a gun and letting it lose in the streets to shoot down anything that moves?:)
My tetris game is like zen. Never "expect" or "need" a piece. You should build your tetris to accomidate all pieces, including the long one. never let your long piece row become more then 6 units deep, you can always take lines off the top using an L or a Z, that is if you havn't "walled" it off.

perhaps it wouldn't be as usefull as Xine but still i'd like to see it happen just to piss off M$

where you could donate a user-specified amount of bandwidth to continously DoS attack Microsoft servers?

see subject /\
wait i don't think that was cliche enough let me fix that... step 1.. Cell phone with game cards step 2.. ??? step 3 profit!
you know they have e-book roms for that.. http://www.gameboy-advance.net
plus an MP3 player and a TV
now all it needs is a PDA and GPS !
i think thats enough TLA IMO
