Could possibly have been OS/2 also, since it does have a command line mode which is the default shell if the workplace shell doesn't run. I don't think it exits to the prompt though if it is running the workplace shell. It would exit to the prompt if it was just running a program that didn't need workplace shell in place.
The turnout rates could be increased slightly across a large area to make up the difference and to keep the 15% to 90% from happening. The increase could be attributed to lots of things that would be pointed out to the media.
The article you mentioned seems like a good system, and could be easily done by diverting some federal $$$ to the project. Then again, we will probably never see anything like this in our lifetimes.
This is a great sign that not all kids and young adults have weak or corrupt minds. The ability of an American college freshman (or anyone else his age) to do this with the parts he used is simply amazing.
On the other hand, wouldn't the FBI be looking hard at him now that has built something like this?
Also, you might want to google for "Army Smartforce" for the latest information on computer based training for all soldiers, not just those in IT related jobs.
If the economy improves (i.e, people getting employed) then perhaps P2P usage will fall with former file downloaders now being able to buy the material. If the economy stays in its current status (crap), then P2P usage will stay roughly then same as people that cannot afford it will download.
Your gateway theory is wrong. Research has shown that marijuana is not a gateway drug, so that throws your theory out the window. How about reading this book to see proof? As for the entirety of your post, I believe it is nothing more than a poor trolling attempt.
Hollywood Faces Online Piracy, but It
Looks Like an Inside Job
By JOHN SCHWARTZ
When
"Hulk" hit the small screen early, Hollywood hit the roof. Two weeks
before this summer's film adaptation of the angry green giant opened in
theaters in June, copies started showing up on file-sharing networks
around the world. The film cost Universal $150 million to make and
distribute, but anyone with a fast Internet connection, a big hard
drive and plenty of time could see it free.
Hollywood is desperately worried that it will soon face the widespread
illegal copying that has bedeviled the music industry -- and that
prompted record companies to file lawsuits last week against 261 people
accused of illegally distributing copyrighted music online. Piracy of
works in digital format, like DVD's or high-definition television is,
in theory, so simple that whole movies could be zapped around the globe
with a click of a mouse -- a prospect that Jack Valenti, chief executive
of the Motion Picture Association of America, has told lawmakers "gives
movie producers multiple Maalox moments."
But the early debut of "Hulk" was not the work of the armies of
KaZaA-loving college students or cinephile hackers. The copy that made
its way to the Internet was an almost-complete working version of the
film that had been circulated to an advertising agency as part of the
run-up to theatrical release. And "Hulk" is not alone.
According to a new study published by AT&T Labs, the prime source
of unauthorized copies of new movies on file-sharing networks appears
to be movie industry insiders, not consumers. The study is "the first
publicly available assessment of the source of leaks of popular
movies," according to its authors.
Nearly 80 percent of some 300 copies of popular movies found by the
researchers on online file sharing networks "appeared to have been
leaked by industry insiders," and nearly all showed up online before
their official consumer DVD release date, suggesting that consumer DVD
copying represents a relatively minor factor compared with insider
leaks.
"Our conclusion is that the distributors really need to take a hard
look at their own internal processes and look at how they can stop the
insider leaks of their movies" before taking measures that might
hamstring consumers' technologies and rights, said Lorrie Cranor, a
researcher at AT&T Labs and lead author of the study.
The production and distribution process provide a better choke point,
Ms. Cranor said, than antipiracy measures that could hamstring consumer
electronics devices and computer networks. "If you're not going to
worry about the insiders, it's kind of pointless to worry about the
outsiders," she said.
The insiders might be workers in production or promotion, or even
Academy Awards screeners, to whom the studios send thousands of advance
copies of DVD's each year. "The movie industry ought to treat everybody
within its influence equally, from studio executives and investors,
down through movie editors, truck drivers and out to the critics,"
concluded Ms. Cranor and her coauthors, AT&T Labs researchers
Patrick McDaniel, Simon Byers and Dave Kormann, and Eric Cronin of the
University of Pennsylvania.
Ken Jacobsen, senior vice president and director of worldwide piracy
issues for the motion picture association, said he had not yet seen the
report, but added that its conclusions seemed off.
"The industry experience is the awards screeners are a source for
piracy," he said, but primarily during the Oscar-judging season. "The
industry experience also is, on a rare occasion, a copy gets out of a
postproduction house and enters the pirate marketplace. And the
industry experience is that a majority of movies enter the pirate
marketplace as a result of illegal camcording" in theaters. Digital
piracy, he said, is "a serious problem for us now."
Still, large-scale swapping of high quality, full-length films and HDTV
programs is out of the reach of all but the most wired consumer b

Just think about it this way. You can buy TWO gallons of gas with that much money. Oh wait, if you live in America, you can only buy ONE gallon of gas with that. Sorry.
