I'm not a developer, I'm just a KDE user. I fail to see how there's anything revolutionary in here for me, or the other users. After all, software isn't just for the developers.
Find an admin who knows his shit, and wants to help.
DO NOT sniff passwords, DO NOT send "ultimatums", just say "Hi, I've found what could be a security hole on the network. I can show you why it's insecure and how it could be exploited. I don't want anything in return, I just want to help you close the hole because it could uncover a hell of a lot of problems."
Your ass is covered (you said you didn't want anything, can't be blackmail) and you might get a few brownie points out of it. If the admin responds badly to this and you get expelled or in some other kind of shit, my advice (IANAL applies) is to sue, because you have done nothing wrong...so long as you don't try and seem like a l33t h4X0r g0d by sniffing passwords/sending "ultimatums"-just get to the point, tell the admin what the problem is and how to solve it.
(For the record, I have some great network admins who listen to the students and are very receptive. The way to go:)
Of course Emacs is a web browser. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it had the ability to serve web pages by now, it's already a newsreader, email client, browser, text editor and kitchen sink.
Imagine a man Where the spam began Some lawyers in the USA Scripting evil Perl scripts On that April day All the inboxes that be And your browser history Would be clogged for ever mooooooore...
On MSN Messenger (tool of the devil) and ICQ, you have to be accepted by me to talk to me. That means that if you are talking to me, I either added you and you agreed (so you consented) or you added me and said OK (so I consented to something you asked for).
Now, if you added me onto your list, or I added you onto mine and you accepted, then that's almost a contract saying "fine, you asked for it" and indicating a great deal of consent.
There will be no "big warez ftp server" on GMail. Attachments will be limited to 10MB. That's an MP3 or two, and if you need to send anything more there is nothing to stop you sending multiple emails with the file split into pieces.
Quit bitching. If it happens, there will likely be ways of stopping it (i.e disallowing.exes, which would have the happy bonus fun measure of removing some email virii).
Please please please make this Google! Especially if:
You release the protocol as open, or at least make a Linux client (with all the features of the Windows one)
You manage to get my friends off MSN, the shittiest messenger service ever owned by a shitty company with a shitty record on doing things non-shittily.
It interfaces with Gmail (all the benefits of MSN/Hotmail, none of the drawbacks! w00t!)
Three/four words: Home Star Runner Alerts. Imagine: "You have a new Strongbad Email! Click here to view!"
That's funny, because I want a DVD player that can remove J.Lo.
And Ben Affleck as well, for that matter.
Methinks a user-configurable killfile is the next logical step...
Maybe when someone inserts Gigli into the drive, it'll play that "YOU ARE AN IDIOT" Flash movie, then explode, jabbing everyone nearby with razor sharp chunks of CD.../me runs to patent office...

Underpants gnomes.
And why the hell not!
Kill two birds with one stone.
Weak birds. And a fucking big stone.
So SCO's new strategy is...
eBay itself.
Goddammit, he's right!
Those two words do NOT belong in the same sentence.
That's nothing for me, the humble user.

The miracle of tabbed browsing!
Praise the lord!
That might stem from the creators of Nautilus being ex-Apple guys.
Jane, you ignorant slut!
It's "bite my shiny metal ass"...

Do what I do: make a cheat sheet for stuff that you need to remember. Just print it out and stick it somewhere prominent.

Email it to some stupid people, tell them they have to run it as root or else they wont see the video of Condoleeza Rice's tits.
And Condoleeza Rice's tits would make them run it why...?
It would be like someone saying "you have to run as root to see goatse".
I tried to get my friends onto ICQ. One of them made the jump...ONE.
I have no idea why MSN is so popular, it has what AOL did two years ago. AOL for fucks sake!
One word:
BEENZ.
It would follow the same model as Beenz's:
1) Launch currency
2) ?
3) Crash and burn like a plane made of pentane coated magnesium bricks!!!
I'm focusing more on the fourth bullet point, which would suit me just dandy. Maybe Google could hack Jabber to that end...? :)
Translation: If you're enough of a moron to buy 99 cents worth of fuck all, you got what you paid for you cretinous pillock.

Or in nicer terms, "white space != good investment"
And of those, only 1 is willing. It's that guy who likes getting spam who was on Slashdot a few weeks ago!

Get a LAMPS solution with Wakka Wiki. The Wiki source comes to about 500kb, and can be infinitely customised. It's pretty damn cool...
Hail To The Thief was pretty good though, I like all the songs there...
