although perhaps ironically, bin laden at one point didn't hate the US. the US supported him to defend Afghanistan from the USSR. bin laden only started to get really peeved at the US with desert storm. He never liked the US but he didn't mind as long as they weren't in the middle east. (he had wanted to free Kuwait himself)
Wow, if u think about it a bit further... imagine what i'd be like if in ten years, you could cheaply "replicate" everyday objects from a digital blue print... exciting but scary, I can't imagine how society could handle that. Capitalistic ideas that have been in place for centuries out the window. The only non-specialist thing that sells would be ideas and designs, the production line would be obsolete, If this kind of technology was released it would be revolutionary to say the least and regulation would only slow the inevitable, industry would be turned on its head, millions of jobs lost... Sure this is based on a lot of assumptions, but you get the picture.
my biggest blunder would have to be the time i let slip a single badly executed command line in the root directory conatining a sudo rm and a badly placed *, end result, accidentally wiped out some crucial system files (to this day i don't know what) and was able to boot my mac anymore without it asking my to register again and again (getting nowhere):-(
Firewire to the rescue and i was able to backup my crucial files before clean installing the OS, however just to make it worse a few seconds before the last transfer was finished the ibook i was transferring the files to ran out of battery life and the connection was improperly terminated which somehow made the first mac's disk unreadable when i tried to boot or as a target disk over firewire
It really sucks that Apple has to deal with this and the "/. mentality" that everything should be free. That's communist.
i'd agree that is a rather incorrect statement about communism.
Saying that everything should be free is in my opinion closer to anarchism
i don't see why it is so complex.
here in the netherlands we have about 20 free channels over cable don't even have to sign up. But if you were to put an ariel on your roof and try get some tv you would get nothing.

what about harsher penalties for making insecure software?

I know little about it myself but i think apple's Xgrid technology could be worth a look.

Not that I'm saying this argument isn't futile, but u can do all that just as easily if not more easily on a mac anyway.
