Hmmm, so those willing to possibly pay a little extra can be relativley free from the daily harassment of spammers. I see, good idea but not entirely practical, with money involved disputes will probably pop up. Someone is going to have to run the service, collect money from emails, resolve said disputes; that takes time, effort and money. It looks like your trying to commercialize email, something I don't want to see. But you do have a nice theory going, but still poor people and those who can't/won't pay online will be whitelisted out of existance.
Using credit costs money per transaction, something like 20-30 cents (sorry I can't verify those numbers). So if every email could potentially cost a quarter who would use it? I wouldn't use a pay system even if I had the possibility of not being charged. Requiring a credit card for email usage also severely limits its accessibility to minors and the poor.
This isn't the first laser powered flight, this was done a little while ago at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. They shot a laser straight up at a metal object covered with parabolic dimples, the laser light focused on a small spot and heated the air so much it caused small explosions that propelled the craft. I don't think NASA's airplane should be considered "laser powered" when it uses photovoltiac cells to convert the laser energy into electricity. I couldn't find a good link but just so you know im not full of $h17

Taken from paragraph 82 of the lawsuit filed by SCO against IBM.
Prior to IBM's involvement, Linux was the software equivalent of a bicycle. UNIX was the software equivalent of a luxury car. To make Linux of necessary quality for use by enterprise customers, it must be re-designed so that Linux also becomes the software equivalent of a luxury car. This re-design is not technologically feasible or even possible at the enterprise level without (1) a high degree of design coordination, (2) access to expensive and sophisticated design and testing equipment; (3) access to UNIX code, methods and concepts; (4) UNIX architectural experience; and (5) a very significant financial investment.
Somebody please explain to me how software is like a car/bicycle.
Further into the lawsuit you'll notice SCO isn't actually suing IBM for releasing their source but because they are losing business. With A-holes like McBride I can't imagine why.
I just wish they'd hurry up and die.

It really sucked when they had their jackbooted thugs kick down my door, hogtie me, and install their extension.
You too!?!?!
nobody likes nuclear energy
James Lovelock does.
And he's an well-known environmetalist.

IBM sold their HDD Division to Hitachi but maintain a 30% stake, I believe.

That would truly be useful because I used to do that until I forgot how to take the caps off the... what was I saying again?
