I think a better idea would be creating a system based on merit, in which users could 'rank' other people's submissions. Only registered users could submit work, and repeat trollers could be stopped by way of an IP block. That seems to be a far more common sense approach then radically changing the nature of Wikipedia.

Don't even try it, the Windows Terminal Services thing. Slow as hell, buggy as hell. It's full of loopholes, its slow, ineffiecient, bogs the network down. I work for a mid sized university in ohio, and they have just complete installing a bunch of 'wyse' winterm's all over campus as kiosks. There a nice idea, but they require a lot to maintain. So much for 'Total Cost of Ownership'..........
How is this going to make them harder to counterfit? Just bring a RFID reader to your casino of choice, figure out what ID addresses the chips use, buy a bag of RFIDs, and volva, counterfit chips.
I bought a copy of SCO UnixWare in the pre Darl days. Back in that day, you could get free 'educational' licenses for nonprofit uses. Too bad they don't offer free 'linux' licenses for schools & colleges. Yeah I guess, they 'changed there minds'. UnixWare 7 wasn't a bad OS, but I believe the review was on target when he said the technology it's based on is past its prime. And you gotta love how you need a license for everything from SMP to critical security updates.
It didn't take long for that technology to be misused now did it? I can see the day when you go by RFID ready ad displays in the mall, and will be taylored to your 'interests' as they carefully read what stores you've been to and feed a 'revelevent ad'. Pretty soon RFID TVs will be made too, all sorts of fun and interesting uses for this technology will pop up! yay! Take me now Lord.............

ATF lead: Get down! [pulls him into position along with the others]
Barbrady: What?
ATF lead: It's just like we told you, officer! There's a religious cult in there that plans to commit mass suicide when the meteor shower starts. [resumes viewing, but is interrupted]
Barbrady: Are you sure?
ATF lead: Of course we're sure! [points out the initials on his cap] We're the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms! It's our job to know what these fanatics do!
Barbrady: So what does the ATF do when religious fanatics are gonna commit mass suicide?
ATF lead: Oh, don't worry! We won't let that happen! Even if it means we have to kill each and every one of them.

I think Sharman will be in for a surprise once the find out that 75% of its 'users' were on the bootleged client. It's pretty obvious, those users aren't coming back either. The RIAA has already turned that network to shit with their corrupted songs. I guess we call all move on up to BitTorrent:D
That's the problem, there won't really be any alternative, AMI has jumped on board too. Phoenix IS Award so there goes another competitior. The only ones left will be the big giant OEMs, like Compaq, and IBM who last I checked, still made their own BIOS.

A buyout by IBM would certainly help them in their case against SCO. However, the wellbeing of Netware users might then be in jeopardy (remember OS/2?). IBM has a history of dumping old technologies almost as fast as they adopt them.
An HP buyout wouldn't really hurt their (HPs) relationship with Microsoft, as HP holds to high a market share for M$ to F them up.
It's not that FNC is conservative, as much as the rest of the news is liberal. I agree that Fox News is not fair and balanced, and that's coming from a conservative libertarian. Bill O'Riley's a joke. 'No spin zone?!' Frivolous! Hannitiy is good, albeit boring at times, and Colmes in a poor counterattack. Just my two cents.
I don't think the 7.2% growth is because bush is in office, he's put us in to major debt. I'm not saying go Democrats, I was raised a republician and still listen to the likes of Rush Limbaugh (who is more of a Libertarian BTW), but I think that the tax cuts need to be repealed and be used to pay for our mistake (Iraq).
I don't think anyone in the Bush Administration are humans at all, but are, in fact, crab people.
"Crab People! Crab People! Walk like crab, talk like people!"
I've never been a big fan of the GPL, and though I sympathize with Linksys, I think they should still follow the guidelines of the GNU GPL. Shoulda have used BSD...............

Not true when it's implanted under your skin, al la Verichip I wonder how long before this catches on nationwide, let alone accepted. People are stupid. Sometimes it get to the point it's sickening. In the words of chicken little 'The sky is falling! The sky is falling!'
Did you even read the article dude? This isn't about forcing people into buying Yugo's and go around blowing up SUV dealers. I agree that we shouldn't federally mandate high petrol prices, like Brittan does in order to encourage public transport. But we do need to encourage new technologies like the Hybrid cars, and soon, the Hydro powered ones. Because in a capitalistic world,if the consumers don't buy, these technologies will soon be in yesteryear.
What an informative article! I feel 100% smarter by reading that. Now just for comparison, I did a google search on various operating systems.
Linux Returned 112 million articles
BSD returned 7.6 million articles
OS/2 returned 4.4 million articles
CP/M returned 100 thousand articles
So BSD is not dying, by any means. It is stable, scalable, and every web site on Netcraft's top 50 (http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/today/top.avg.html) longest uptime list is a *BSD variant! Dead?
"Housing officials say the application educates students as it restricts them from peer-to-peer services."
Remember this program's purpose is to 'educate' the sudents on the evils of music piracy. I really think more time should be spend discussing the evils of 'bad' music like Nickelback and Creed. Look for a class called 'Respecting IP' in a college near you.

The government should have no control over what networks do, advertising or otherwise. I don't like network 'placements' any more then the next guy, but when you allow the government any control, you are walking a slippery slope. If you don't like it don't watch the show.
Is it just me or is there too much litigation going on these days? It seems that no company can be sued without countersuing, and then a million think tanks have to write position papers on all this shit. When it comes down to it, people on both sides are exploiting weaknesses in our legal code. The only difference is we sympathize with Kazaa because they are 'on our side'. RIAA claims that we infringe on their copyrights by downloading music, and we do; Kazaa says the RIAA violates their network terms of use, and they do. Why can't they call it a draw and go home?

Will companies go back to innovating, instead of litigating?
