Here is some laws I would suggest: A) Whoever has an open server can get fined/sued/whatever for at least a small amount if it sends spam. B) Fine people who reply to spam. C) Anyone who sells an email service or product should point to some good anti-spam software (the user can choose to use it or not). D) Just make Murphy's Laws official for once and for all, dammit!
EmergeCore's IT100 runs Linux, but you will never notice as all the server configuration is done through a well designed web interface, called "CoreVista."
So they have it run Linux but behind a "web interface". I don't get it -- what's wrong with a user interface?
So go work for Red Hat. Open source is producing jobs at Red Hat. Technological improvements always destroy some jobs, but others appear to take their place.
I think copyright should be restricted. For example, a software copyright should last only less then 5 years, or software cannot be copyrighted if you do not show the code. Something that will allow copyright to recoup for expenses, but not be abused.
Under the new technology, people would share the "Content Reference" file instead, which would point them to authorized versions of the content that would automatically fit whatever device or computer software the recipient is using.
This doesn't really answer your question (maybe it does, but I'm very dense). I don't know how they will prevent you from copying the file when/while you retrieve it, though.
...file would set up a process that automatically... triggers an automatic payment system that could be changed moment to moment by the content distributor.
Hey, I'll sell you a music file for only 1 cent. On second thought, make that $100
Mersenne primes are a number of the form 2^n - 1, where n is some prime number. Mersenne primes are one of the easiest to find, and there is a quick (relatively) algorithm for checking whether it is prime. Not all Mersenne numbers are prime.

Just another excuse to bash M$, sorry.
Kallahar is much smarter than that moron. You don't get cops stopping you because you're going the wrong way on a one way airplane, eh?

On the other hand, we might be able to make blacklists for telephones. Heh.
I bet the Internet Phone will cause an immense improvement in latancy. (Unless people enjoy speaking with several milliseconds latancy).
Must be a different type of supercooling than I know about. Any disturbance would cause the supercooled liquid to freeze.
Nor a patent on poorly written patent applications.
Good, then they'll start outsourcing lawyers. Can't wait for the next version of Buggy Law+.
Silly patents are just trolls who don't know about Slashdot.
I claim a patent on this headline!

I thought the whole idea was that it would save on power. I don't think xboxen are that power efficient.
Multiply the difference in power consumption by a year or two and by the price of electricity, and it might come out cheaper than an xbox.
However, I'm sure there are better and cheaper alternatives.

Nah, they've just been Slashdotted.
In related news, SCO caims ownership of "ping", and will licence it starting at $1000.

Last time I checked, a file that tries to automatically charge you for opening it was a...
virus?
I think trojan is more correct. A virus would do it without you opening it, I would think.

why do people keep reinventing the wheel and then say they're not trying to reinvent the wheel?
:-)
So they can patent it under different discriptions

The exponent must be a prime as well, but it still won't guarantee you get another prime.

Easy... just don't waste so much time reading slashdot.

But then the greedy executives spend their money, and it eventually goes to people who can then spend more money on doctors.
