Took a bit to find the link for this (strange how gnu.org's on search engine missed it). What RMS says in this section I think could apply to terrorists as well.
Don't know if you'll see this or not. Anyway, from my reading, the inventor proposes to drive the axle, or even the wheels directly with no driveshaft, gearbox, etc. Also, since there are only two firing chambers at 180 degrees apart, the firing order is the same forwards as backwards.
I wrote a very important and copyrighted document called README. I believe a copy of this file has been stolen from me and has been copied to many machines around the net. I have yet to break into a machine that didn't have a copy of my file.
How do they control which way this thing spins? A car is no good if it can't go in reverse. Also, it seems that it would be hard to get this engine to work at low speeds. Perhaps some regenerative brakeing system could be used to start the thing spinning in the right direction and move it at low speeds.
However, like a credit rating, there are objective measures of how spam-prone a site is. Also, I believe you are given a chance to appeal being placed on the ORBS list.
This sort of reminds me of the PBS evolution series. Dinosaurs rules the Earth, but there were small mammals at the same time. When conditions changed, the Dinos were no longer able to survive, but the mammals survived and eventually prospered.
If it wasn't clear Dinos==companies that rely too much on microsoft, mammals==companies that use free/open software.
Other problems aside, I think you are right. Using the original example, if there is 1 terrorist per billion, and the software picks this person out along with 9999 others, then you only have 1 in 10000 to deal with. You have just reduced the size of the problem by a factor of 100000.
And triggering this system should be no more of a problem than triggering a metal detector or x-ray scan. I once had a saw in my cary on bag that showed up. I just had to go back and check it.

Yeah, it's good to see that push technology is finally coming to the net:)
If the hacker attended university, go after the professors. If he/she were self taught, go after the authors of whatever computer books they might have. Scary.
Interesting. I wonder what the liabilities for a bank would be if the bank kept a factory-set combo for the safe, or just put the money on a table with a big sign overhead saying "please don't steal this". On second thought, I doubt any banks have ever been this stupid.
Let's not waste money on an expensive database system. Let's just find all the bad people and make them wear easily identified tags around their necks..

Wasn't this already done in Futurama, when Fry downloaded Lucy Liu's personality and appearance from kidnapster.com into a robot?

Then they came for the Windows users who use "?" instead of "'" and I didn't speak up because I was glad to see them go.
And if it thinks the environment is too happy, it will take a picture of the back seat and blackmail you with the contents.
Surely this Microsoft spokesman isn't Culpable.
"listening to Philyaw made him feel like his hair was on fire"
Being an engineering type and not a marketing type, does having ones hair set on fire represent a good thing?

Or get together a group of people and spell out the DeCSS source across an uninhabited part of the desert so it can be read from space.
And don't forget the country music show parody of Hee-Haw called...

I'm zen with that :)
What is the "best" vehicle?
There is no "best" text editor.
Use what best suits the type of work and user preferences.

I think that many of the dot coms were leaders in the area of being cashless. Think about it.

Interesting idea. It might have had even more punch when the dot com boom was in full swing, but techs are still needed today.
