Gang members, mafia, etc. don't typically buy their guns from licensed vendors. They either steal them or buy them under the counter from someone else.
THis is one of the main gripes a lot of Canadians have against the federal gun registry, which, after over 10 years and BILLIONS of dollars has yet to be fully implemented, and has done nothing to lessen gun crimes.
Does anyone else find it discouraging that the only example cited in the summary for applications of this technology was for "tricky problems such as financial optimization"?
One of the biggest advances in science, not just computer science, and it gets pointed at money.
The sooner the better. All the Joe Users out there who take no time to make sure their computers are safe will need to held accountable. A lot of people are losing a LOT of money because of this. Eventually the big money people are going to successfully lobby to make it so.
When Gates/Ballmer find their customers getting fined or worse (better) then we'll start to see results.

Where's the script to Final Fantasy VII? I still don't know wtf happened.
Crichton *has* written non-fiction; he is also a doctor. The man does his research.
Maybe you should too.

"I'd much rather play a satisfying sequel than face the disappointment Lost Planet offers: originality without entertainment."
How fun will gaming be when all the developers make sequels? If no-one tries for originality then we will never see any, ever again.

A convicted monopolist is going to help tell other companies how to behave nicely?
