It seems that Kasparov is bitter about losing in 1997 and is trying to get IBM to release the source for Deep Blue to check to see if the moves it made in thier match are actual coded instructions.
He blatantly states that he thinks Deep Blue was fiddled with. He just wants some proof.

If they are talking about a configuration of html code that was written by a third party [W3Consortium], what legal right do they have to claim that patent?
I mean, if they are talking about using html frames or even using a way of formatting html links for use in netscape/IE... it seems like they are trying to sell the use of someone else's standard code.

The 19 politicos--including Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.--urged Ashcroft "to prosecute individuals who intentionally allow mass copying from their computer over peer-to-peer neworks."
So what they are saying is if your computer's files are made avaliable to the public (for whatever reason), and you have copyright files on your computer, then if someone takes these files from you, then it is your fault and you can get the book thrown at you.
This is interesting because it seems they arent going to be prosecuting people that take the files, but only if you share them with others.
That doesn't make sense.

But there is no other way to tell if you're alive in Wisconsin unless you go to the Pulse Machine.
Obviously, you never played Axis and Allies.
I pee sitting down.
Where is the lameness filter?
Also, if you ship to a state that has no sales tax (Like Oregon and Delware) how are taxes to be calculated then?
Or that you can have air burning i.e. explosions in space.
Explosions on the moon!
I'm not saying it can't be done, just that it would take William Goldman
Or William Gibson.
