  1. Re:What about road taxes? on Brew Your Own Auto Fuel For 41 Cents A Gallon · · Score: 1

    It's not going to be all doom and gloom...

    If you are making your own biodiesel, they'll work it similar to the way they do homebrewed beer/alcohol. You'll be allowed to make a certain amount(usually a very large quantity for an individual) for personal consumption. You'll be allowed to give some of that allowance away too... as long as you get no compensation in return.

    Jim Waldo recently spoke at the 7th Jini Community Meeting about the uses of these very same types of devices. Here are the slides to the presentation.

  8. Re:Parent should be "Insightful," not "Funny" on PARC's New Networking Architecture · · Score: 1

    This is currently being done using Jini 2.0! It provides two types of security: method level authentication/authorization and communications level using SSL/Kerberos/etc. Downside: out of the box requires Java for the mobile code features to work. Vendors such as PsiNaptic provide C code implementations for a price :-)

  9. Re:No GPL violation on SCO Identifies EV1Servers as Linux Licensee · · Score: 1

    Sure. The problem I see though is that they are accepting a new license with the additional conditions and then are distributing the software back to themselves.

  10. EV1 commit GPL violation? on SCO Identifies EV1Servers as Linux Licensee · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    Could this be seen as a violation of the GPL by EV1?!

  11. Re:Did they really even read the patent? on Microsoft Receives XML Patent · · Score: 1

    Sure smacks of what Ant has been doing for some time now! ...or Mozilla's XUL...

  12. Incentives - what a great idea! on Internet Security: Where Do We Stand · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The real problem is that social research has shown that incentives simply do NOT work. In fact, adding rewards has been shown to reduce the number of people that get turned in compared to when no intervention is used at all. A real solution would focus on determining and eliminating the intrinsic motivators fueling the hackers. For a good overview/compendium/analysis, read Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plan$, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes by Alfie Kohn
