This reminds me of the Microsoft Windows NT (Dual Processor Edition) license agreement...Circa 1998 or so. They actually put out a special version for the early Pentium-Pro dual-processor systems. There was this thing in the license agreement. It said I was licensed to run it on a single computer, as defined by a single CPU, as defined by a single processor.

On a related note, I have seen several web servers I set up to share these files shut down because of words in the (govt given) names of the documents.
On another related note, back when I was in college, I was sued by the Business Software Alliance (BSA) for not paying for my operating system (GPL'ed Slackware Linux). I won, but never did collect on the judgement from my coutner suit. They still owe me.

What we need is not new software; it's new hardware.
We need a Palm that has a real serial port, real USB expansion when it's sitting on a desktop, takes real compact flash (CF) cards (not those tiny palm things,) and has the option to read off of a real screen (that takes up the whole side of the palm; not 1/2 of it.) Also, most importantly, it must take real (AA) batteries. Internal rechargables don't work for those of us who use our plams 16 hours a day.
Give me that in a Palm, and I'll arrange an order of 500.

As we know, there are limits that the FCC sets on Wi-Fi (802.11) networking. I also understand that Hams can broadcast up to 200 Watts on these fgrequencies. So, I was studying to get a HAM license to play with Wi-Fi on my college's 500 acres (where I am a professor, and where interference would not be a problem.)
The problem is that no ham is allowed to broadcast an encrypted or encoded signal that the FCC can not intercept. Wi-Fi is considered "encoded" by the FCC, so my Tech (HAM) license gets me nada - zip - nothing.
We need to change this silly reg - atleast some classes of HAMs should be able to broadcast Wi-Fi at increased power levels.
"For any email server with a moderate load, do you even realize how much computation that is? checksumming isn't a trivial process computationally."
Let's drop the checksum if it's too heavy a work load.
"And according to NetFlow, mail still accounts for 1.19% of all packets, which isn't anything to sneeze at."
My concern is not the network traffic; it's the load on the server when it has to dig back 23 hours on its hard disk for one packet it send yesterday. Given that we add 2 packets onto each eMail (which may altready be MANY packets) we are not adding that much. I'd be really surprised if this added 0.5% to the Internet's total traffic. Eliminating spam would probably decrease the load by more than we increase it.
"all I'd have to do is respond with a canned reply to any query on a spam I (theoretically) sent."
That's the point. We make spammers acknowledge that their severs are the ones sending the spam. We not have it traced to an IP, and they can not deny it. The reson the current anti-spam laws are not enforced is that we can not easily prove where the SPAM is coming from.
Next, we shut down the mail servers that are spamming.
Let's yank their ISP connection. If the ISP does not respond to a demand to take down the spammer in 24 hours, we go upstream and yank their ISP. We'll just disconnect anyone who verifies SPAMs as coming from their computers. It would take an agreement from the operators of the core routers to get it done.
The new anti-spam law would make it illegal to verify (not send) anything meeting the definition of "SPAM." You could send any unverified eMail you wanted to. (This would help in retaining true free speech on the Internet; if you want to look in the "unverified" folder. then feel free.)
Andy Out!
Every eMail that is sent (by SMTP - the Simple Mail Transport Protocol) should be considered "unconfirmed." This means that it may or may not be from the return address.
I propose that we add a new layer called CMTP - the Complex Mail Transport Protocol.
CMTP simply takes an unconfirmed eMail (sent by SMTP) and sends a packet back to the sender. This packet asks for verification of the message. The packet includes a checksum, the length, to, from, subject, and the time/date that the eMail was sent.
The sending mail server receives this CMTP checks all of that information, and replies with a CTMP confirmed message or a CMTP not confirmed message.
There is no limit on the number of times that a mail server may be asked to confirm an eMail. There is a limit that messages should not be confirmed more than 24 hours after they are sent. This may pose a small problem in that SMTP does not place a time limit on mail messages.
CMTP does require that every mail server maintain a list of the eMail it has sent. That COULD be time consuming.
CMTP also adds 2 packets to every eMail sent. SMTP was designed to be dead simple. They thought that they could not afford 2 extra packets. In that time, eMail was 80% of all internet traffic. Today, eMail is such a small percentage of all traffic that trpilling it would not be noticed.
I was modifying my 2001 Chevy S-10 to be controlled by a computer. They changed the minimum time to copmlete the course form 1 day to 10 hours to 4 hours to 8 hours to 6 hours, and then back to 4 hours in the span of 2 weeks. They refused to admit (even after certified mail letters) that they had changed this rule at all. My vehicle would operate at a "speed" of 30 MPH, but including all the loopbacks, I could not make the course in 4 hours. Therefore, we scrapped all our (months of) hard owrk and dropped out.

Let me get this straight - you don't think we have the technology to go into space, BUT you do think we have the technology to alter the Earth's climate to counter act global warming - wether or not we are causing it to rise?
Altering the earth's climate is a heck of a lot harder (both in technological needs and in $$$ invested) than colonizing every plannet in our system.
Nope, it's not a long-term win.
1. The cost of the solar cells divided by the KW*H of energy produced is about 3x the price of off-the-grid electricity.
2. Solar cells are made using NASTY chemicals. All those green freaks don't realize we generate 10x the pollution making solar cells as we do generating the same amount of electricity for grid-use.

"Don't ever underestimate the power of single RPG round fired at close range."
Close range? I guess you could aim it a bit better, but given that it is a SHAPED CHARGE, the impact speed is almost irrelevant, as that does not do the damage. The damage is done by the "lens effect" focusing the force of the explosion. The "lens effect" is caused by the shaping of the explosive charge - thus, a SHAPED CHARGE.
Also, an RPG is a ROCKET, so it needs time to get up to speed. If one hit 10 feet from the launcher, it would have very low speed. It needs most of a mile to burn its fuel and get up to speed (200-300MPH, which is nowhere near the much less effective kenetic projetiles that tankes fire.)
I'll tell you what, go build a few shaped charges, then come back and tell me what can kill a tank.

But wait! It gets EVER WORSE! Ebay recently suspended hte account of a seller that I was dealing with. I tried to send her messages through eBay, and was blocked by EBAY, though their software LIED to me and said they would forward the message. (I used the "ask seller a question" button). The seller tried to send me eMails through eBay, and ebay again lied and said that they went through, but blocked the seller's emails. Then ebay lies and says that they allow sellers and buyers to request each others contact information. This is only if neither one has been suspended. Can you imagine any time when you need to contact a seller more than when they were just suspended by eBay? I needed a phone number, and ebay lied to me. I filled out the form to get the seller's contact information, and ebay said it would get to me (LIES) then they never sent it.

All the really cool stuff happens once we leave orbit, right? (Deimos, Asteroids, Europa, etc.) Because there is already a prize for getting to orbit, so now we need to develop cheap spacecraft that can go that next step.
I suggest that NASA allow experimenters to develop different spacecraft components.
Categoires include:
1. Electrical Generation Systems
2. Navigation
3. Main Engine
4. Ways to "see" objects (sensors?)
5. Ways to gather volatiles frozen on something.
6. Ways to tow something.
NASA takes the entries, tests them on the ground, and then takes the first 10 workable entires in each category to LEO, where they test them in space.
NASA promises to take the winner from each category, and scale them to build a ship, which will be used to visit some piece of rock floating somewhere. NASA pays the prize as "royalties" to the winner.
