I think that open source viruses are the way to go. GPL them and apply modern ideas from software engineering. Well documented viruses would be handy, both for filtering and to aid future virus designers.
Sorry, what can I tell you - I didn't get her number. She was too old for me.
But this is how DARPA works - it is very much an "Old boys" network. I was a postdoc in a robotics lab at a large university a few years back and we were competing for DARPA money for this project where robots walk up stairs. There was a DARPA guy who was a real colonel who would come to listen to presentations, and if he liked you then you got money. We didn't get the money. This was a project for a stair climbing robot, and the whole thing was a disaster, since none of the groups could make it work except with a hack - in other words only in very special situations. Anyway it made me really cynical about the whole DARPA robot thing. What they expect is incredibly unrealistic and results in people practically faking it.
When I was on vacation last year I met a woman who claimed to be the mother of the director for this DARPA program. She said that DARPA wasn't really interested in the results, but only in funding a few of the well connected universities involved.
An interesting point is that you can see that this should be possible by using Schrodinger's equation directly which isn't usually possible. Thus you could simulate it too.
Is that most of the images get imaged processed to death. Without Kalman filtering and deconvolution algorithms they would look lame, and these algorithms can be done to images taken from Earthbound telescopes.
It will be interesting to see what the effect of the Bankoff-Greengard case will be here. I think the judge in that case would say this is not fair use.
About how ideas 'infect' large groups of people, scientifically proving what most people already knew: bloggers steal their ideas from other bloggers. I will post them shortly.

I read in Wired that Jobs has a blind family member, I forget who...

is if it could play the skin flute.

There was a tradition in the radio business of the 1930's of taking shows of other stations far away and broadcasting them as your own.
GE developed a similar thing in the 70's, but didn't think there was a market for it. I imagine that their patent ran out...
In district 26 in Queens, the school board refused to let schools buy Apples, even when the entire school was in favor of it.
I read in Wired that the Pac Man people wouldn't agree to being in it.

The crazy thing is that Berkeley has also decided to go with the license - the home of BSD!
OK smartypants, here it is!!

They were in the Copenhagen airport for a 2 week trial a few years ago.
It's not stealing if you don't sell it. It's like punching someone in the dark - it's a victimless crime.

A company called Videolife has a more primitive, but essentially the same thing, in the early 90s.
no - wired phones. CELL phones didn't exist then!!
AT&T had a product like this in 1967 !!
Yes but that those are for unix, not Linux.
There was something like it on TV in the 1980s.
Even more Ironic, the Finish Royal Institute, where Linus Torvalds went has announced that they are going to buy licenses!!!
Ironically, UC Berkeley is also going to be a licensee!!
