People keep talking about things thing being OK or not based on the price. Price change, and in computers they change FAST.
The cost of storage has gone from Dollars per Megabyte 20 years ago to Pennies per Gigabyte today. In 5 years or so people will be able to make something like this from upgrade leftovers.
Lets just say the *AA have learned from the MP3/P2P situation to be insanely agressive towards any possible technological threats to their revenue stream.
The GPL says you have to keep the software and all program/derivitives licensed as GPL. If people could take the patented parts of a program and distribute them under another license, then they would be in violation of the once GPL always GPL rule. So how would your plan work?
Assuming anyone does find some perfect flawless way to prove that a real person is behind the keyboard, it will still be broken. There are people out there in poor countries make a living clicking ads.
If this is truly perfected then spammers will just buy hotmail addresses for a penny each or whatever they need to do from real people.
Email is a tool, people will use it for good or bad. You need to make it too expensive, or get VISA involved.
The only technical solution I've seen work is Lycos screensaver DOS attack.
The site operator decided that this usual event in the system log indicated the user has zero clue on how insecure Internet Explorer is, and the police broke down the donor's door and arrested him.
No way. First thing, stop calling them "normals." It brings their hopes up and offends management. Call them peons, grunts, minions, or human resources, all of which are suitably devaluing. In addition, you should refrain from calling your minions by names. Make them all get numbers tatooed to their foreheads and refer to them by those.
Almost perfect. Really though, are meaningful unique identifiers needed? When you want to know if something is done, you ask the nearest one. If they don't know you fire them and get another.
You also have to think about these things long term. Eventually peons with low numbers may achieve some unearned level of respect based on simply having a smaller number of digits representing them. (hmmm, kinda like/.)
Instead generate your standard GUID for each of them and have it barcoded on their forheads. This also make things nice when you eventually replace the lunch room with feed stalls. You can scan them as they go to the bathroom, or put their head into the feed cage and automatically deduct the lost time and drone chow from their paycheck.
You could go with subcutaneous RFID, but it just takes longer for their spirits to break when their tags are invisible. Obviously visible machine readable body mods are really the only way to go.
Borg management is possible, but until significant andvances in nano-tech are made we're going to have to do most of the work to assimilate the drones ourselves.
Best of Luck

You sound pretty depressed. Put things in perspective, or lower your expectations and figure out some way to enjoy the next 60 years of your life.
I hate to say it, but remember it can always get worse. You live in the US so your already better then the majority of people anywhere else in the world, many of whom are struggling to survive at all.
NAT tranversal is great, and Skype is nice an solid. We're adding this to our next product. Does anyone know where I could find more documents like this?
My Canon BJC-250 is still going strong after at least 5 years, and countless numbers of cheap ink refills. My parents just purchased a printer and you can't even open it up to see what's wrong without it shutting down.
X1 is a great desktop search tool for windows. It can search way more file types then google or msn. Right now it's costs money, but Yahoo is going to start giving it away for free to get into the destkop search market. I don't know what Yahoo is paying them, but getting $80 of software for free sounds nice.
Now, the above are facts so do not mod me down. In my home country, these is [almost] no market for Viagra and the like.
This Article says Viagra costs about $10 per pill. I'm sure that has more to do with a poor viagra market then any natural virility on some continents. Escpecially since the AIDS epidemic would make living to be old enough to need Viagra something of a problem.
This also seems a bit of an immature poster. Pen*s? Tool? "down there"? Please just say what you are talking about. If you can't say penis, scrotum, dick, balls or whatever then you probably don't have anything interesting to say on the subject.
... when they went to that link from google that appeared to be completely different then the description shown, the pop-under ad clearly stated in an invisible html comment that if you do not agree with their EULA available at a seperate url then you should disconnect from their website before the software has finished installing on your computer because allowing the software to install implies acceptence of the terms of their contract.

If they want to limit me to threads, then I want to be able to add the number of replies and authors per thread to my search.
Eliminating threads that have 1 message/0 replies would make finding things MUCH faster. Right now I find tons of threads that are people asking the same question, and not very many where someone provided an answer.
Didn't some student not too long ago research what made a "good newsgroup"? They should put his research into the search parameters somewhow.

Never ascribe to intelligence what can be explained by mere randomness.
Red States:
Anything that cannot be explained must be attributed to a greater intelligence.

Literally, when I read the article I thought - This literally sounds nothing like Linus.

For IE users you can just walk right in.

Very true.

This is more like two butchers fighting over a cow.
I don't think the cow should consider either of them to be on its side, no matter how hard they fight.

Nice idea, but still easy to block. I think they would notice if you sent 10K of text through IM. That's just a small image.
Don't Forget the MCSE crowd.
People who find that something like...

is easier then editing text files.

If someone's business model depends on throwing ads in my face, or sticking them to my back when I'm not looking, then their business deserves to die.
In the mean time the next version of adblock is going to have whitelist ability so you can support the sites you like.
