Would it surprise you if SCO was writing all of these virii to try to encourage companies to switch to Linux in hopes of one day winning their petty lawsuit and gaining an additional $699/license? Makes sense to me.
Are those idiots still running.exe attachments? They deserve to be infected for two reasons: 1) running Windows, PERIOD, and 2) being stupid enough to run any.exe attachments after the last billion e-mail worms. Let it spread. Let only the strong (or in this case, smart) survive.
Now we just wait for people to hack their phones to mirror someone else's phone. Did anyone see The Thomas Crown Affair where the guys in the museum are all dressed alike? Can you see this happening with phones? Parents and phone companies are both going to go nuts just like the police did.
Let's just do the math here. I pay roughly $70/month for electricity and $45/month for 3Mbit cable. $115/month total divided by an average of (just a guesstimate) 700 songs per month brings me to $0.16/song. That's a large chunk of change I'm saving, especially since I'd have to pay that same $115 anyway.
With the Control Center for the transport to the ISS being in France, would this be the "French Transport to ISS" or the "Freedom Transport to ISS"? I still call them French Fries....
for $1400 I'll rent the apartment next to mine, put the computer over there, leave the air conditioning on, drill a hole in the wall, and run my cables to it through the wall while leaving my monitor, keyboard, and mouse in my apartment... and still come out ahead!
Where ethics, law, and technology ever in synch to begin with? I always see people using technology unethically to break the law. I see the law using technology unethically. I see ethics and laws going right out the window with spam technology. Paper, Rock, Scissors?
Ok... so if we colonize the moon and move a large chunk of our population to the moon... so what? If some huge asteroid smacks Earth out of orbit, or destroys it completely, what do you think will happen to the moon? It's what I like to call the "drunken gravitational flopping around kiss-your-ass-good-bye effect".
But back to the supersolids... instead of two metal surfaces, what if it were two supersolids? No friction, no heat. It sounds pretty impossible at the time, but it might have some kind of benefit if someone can figure out a way. I just hope they don't try to make brakepads out of the stuff...
Go ahead and mod me down for being an idiot, but wouldn't it be great to use some kind of superliquids or supersolids in car engines and other mechanical devices? I imagine a liquid with no viscocity would be better for an engine than standard synthetic motor oil. I guess that whole temperature thing would kill it though... just a thought.
It's a global community! Full of online dating junkies, IRC whores, AIM whores, Yahoo whores, ICQ whores, and MSN whores. Thanks to these great people I still have a social life while working third shift! God bless the internet for helping my social life!
I imagine the majority of/. readers use their own mussels to make their own "glue" while waiting for their pr0n to download and reading these articles. I should get an award for that discovery.
I read the topic and thought it rolled off the edge of the ramp. Wouldn't that suck for NASA? Seriously though, this reminds me of the parents of a newborn, video taping every waking moment of it's life and making a big deal about it's first steps... next thing you know it's going to be getting speeding tickets and brought home by the intergalatic space patrol.

I hate to see a piece of our country's history falling apart. A measely $5m? Sure, I'll just write a check...

What do you mean incomplete on the report card? I thought it was incomplete everywhere.
Dr Who who?
Why not patent lawsuits in general? That way you could sue anyone that sues for violating your patent.
So no more squishing coins on train tracks for them. Screw that new train, bring back the internation pastime!
Does this mean no more Hakuna Matata!?!

I believe potential criminals should be treated like customers too.

No I wouldn't, I'd load up mIRC and download for free, screw paying a dime. :-)
From the state that brings you Hershey chocolate! Now they're bringing you something else to feed your laziness! I guess it's all about convenience.
When can I get one of these mounted on a robot that will carve my Thanksgiving Turkey for me?

They were mentioned on Slashdot, now their hit counter is going through the roof. Now that's good advertising!
So they'll charge twice as much to consumers... meaning they can say they're losing twice as much money when people download?
