Is Seti actively monitoring AM, FM, RF, VHF, and/or UHF signals from space? Can they do that? We could be receiving Vegan TV, by golly! If there are good reasons for not being able to receive them here, those reasons are probably the same on the other end. Ok, I just confused myself. Carry on.

Seems to me that one would have to prove that the info presented was collected as a result of an unauthorized access to the database in question. Am I reading that right? If so, that makes sense to me. Legally. Morally (a whole 'nother issue), depending on the data itself, if the data "needs" air, one will just have to debate whether he/she is willing to pay the price of publishing it. That's the game.
Mostly sincerely, *cragen
My first thought was, well, given the "open" plans for, say, a car, it's not easy to make a completely new one from scratch. Then I thought, again. Low Riders! Hot Rods! Could be interesting times ahead. Serioulsy, I just wish they would get to the point where they actually understand things, like depression, mental illness, etc. That would be nice.

A subject not considered yet is the idea that the guy had sensitive customer data on his laptop. Why is that not immediately considered a problem by everyone? Especially by Wells-Fargo security people? I am not a security ace, but when did that become ok?

Previous comments are correct. There is a way to protect a room (or larger area) form EMP but it is REALLY, REALLY expensive. Just picture a copper-covered box (not sure how thick) that is the size of the room(s) you wish protected. Then the box has to be grounded with devices that can withstand lots of juice. (I think.) Ran around $3M for a small comm. center (4 rooms about the size of most folks' living rooms) back in the early 80's, so it's probably lots more now. And that comm center was in the center of a large concrete installation, which had been converted to government use. Don't remember any sort of Bio or chem. protection included in the price. Cheers.
In many species, there are free-ranging males (FRMs). Males who just couldn't crack the queue, so to speak. This guy, I think, is just a FRM. What a waste of good electrons printing this story.
Really,
Cragen.
This is NOT a worthy submission. IMHO, it's not even interesting science!. How about giving us mod points to the submission area and to the stories given a place on the home page? Users could mod up submissions to the point they make the home page and, more importantly, mod down stories OFF the home page. (Heck, even msnbc.com lets users rate the articles.)
1. Sorry. I cannot get excited about anything more than nine months away. 2005 might as well be a Y3K event to me.
2. BBC=>England=>!USA/Cox Cable == no BBCTV. zzzzt. Does Izzie do Ozzie? (yawn..)
Meanwhile....
Exactly, what sort of "scientist" studies couches? Probably one on a government grant.... geez. Was there a post-doc requirement? Say, two years studying under L'il Abner?
And the higher up the food-chain you go, the worse it is. The user just wants somethng with a remote control, I think. The "customer is always right". I say: Give what they want until they explode!:)
I think you are going in the right direction. Every object must has some (nil to little or indirect to lots to identical or direct) relationship to everything else. Only relationships that are currently defined to be above a certain threshold matter. (Whew.) The graphical display of the pathways of those relationships that can be seen or understood would be very interesting. Maybe that's what the other 6 dimensions are for:) yee-ow. good luck. Sounds like fun.

Well, you could be right, but if there weren't any bad stuff, there would not be any need to appreciate the good stuff. It just would 'be'. and that would be ok with me. Sounds good anyway.:)
Cheers.
And there is absolutely NO PROOF to the story that the Amercian Chemical Society threatened to shoot poor Glenn Seaburg, to fix the rule "problem", if they didn't get their way. Pretty sure, anyway.
Remember those little carnies that used to visit your old home town? They all slammed head-on into each other at the original Branson traffic light and just stayed. I went to SMSU in Springfield in the days before Branson became the old folks home for the Grand Ole Opry. It's like the "Love Boat" quadrupled. Every cheesy thing ever invented, from piano-playing chickens to floating bumper cars at McDonalds, for pete's sake, is in Branson. Bring on them iron-eaters. Branson needs 'em bad!
Certify, schmertify. I get the most "This app. is uncertified and the creater is unidentified, blah, blah" screen MOSTLY and NEARLY ALWAYS when installing MS Windows Updates. Rarely ever at any other time. There is just SO MUCH i don't know, much less understand. This must be one of those things.
Sorry. As much as I agree with most of your post, the idea that the FTC and the SEC will "have to launch" anything is wishful thinking. (unfortunately) The probability of their investigating the SCO fiasco is directly related to total amount of the the non-Geek news coverage (which is not too good), including the possibility that certain elected officials could reap prime-time TV news coverage in the process. He11, the Law firm that advised Enron is still rated #6 in some legal industry rag. (See Washingtonpost.com 08/13/03 for further info.) I just don't think this case will really ever be big or influential enough to catch Uncle Sammy's constabularies' attention.
Then, I have gone from cynical to "boo-ya". (Beliefs are just laziness.)
