That one's easy too. In scan, fake IP to any of server's peers, dns, gateway or clients. Thus, a paranoid server will dos itself by his own firewall rules, for hours...
Almost 1/3 of the planet population are illiterates who are payed less than 1 dollar per year. I doubt internet will be for any good use in tracking THESE people...
Probably, the best tracking results such system will produce for rich americans, making it a perfect tool for, eh, I am afraid to say it...
I am running webserver (thttpd) and ssh (dropbear) on my iPaq PDA (handhelds.org-brew familiar linux 0.7.3+opie 1.0.3). Is it worth to make a barnum style slashdot article out of it?
In my HappyMeal, I just found a nanotech augmentation canister with a two tiny legs icon on top cap. Should I install it as a "Run Silent" or "Speed Enhancement" augmentation?
And you still haven't explained why I would want to share my source code with you, if you are not compelled to share back, as under the GPL.
It is simple. Usually, you are most insightfull to your own code. If I made a partial improvement to it, I am motivated to share it back because you are most competent to review and make the best use of my changes.
Similarly, you are motivated to share because sharing give you opportunity to recieve future improvements. This model benefits not only to both us and even all others, who can use our code but are unable to contribute to it for some reason. There is no one loosing anything in the information domain. Yes, in the domain of matter and energy, you say you lost some food and electricity to coding your ideas. So, we should think about open energy and food distribution model of the future. Perhaps many other people spare some electricity or food just by using your software. So they are motivated to share their products with you just for the same reason.
Economics is just a virtual tool, developped in ancient historic epocha when information flow within society was very very slow. It will simply not work for free instant information exchange of the future. A little example: Why do you think stock quotes are 20 minutes delayed for nonprivileged non-market "normal" people? Because without it, whole market will collapse in minutes, just now. Let's demand a complete removal of privileges, nothing more.
I am sorry, but I must keep there is no "real value" in ideas. Such a value could be percieved in ideas only by those people, who are not sufficiently intelligent to create these ideas themselves.
And more, your argument is valid only for a tiny closed fragment of the universe, only to be a commercial nonreality fragment of human interactions. Not every open source software has purpose of commerce. Building IP on legal nonreality just to keep commercial nonreality running looks a little bit psychotic.
For me it's ultimate that sharing ideas will create a more effective social structures than no-sharing ideas. And more effective social structures will prevail. I see open source movement as an end of economics, as we know it. Open technology, open art and open science will follow soon. For me, Slashdot is just an example of open politics.
"Decentralized search engine via P2P" and "sub-second response time" do not go together.
Perhaps I am missing some logic in this. Usually I get a 4-8 seconds response time on google.com from here, just to get an empty google logo screen. Hmm, 19 hops, maybe these anti-terrorist survey net routers on ocean cables are a slow crap parsing my queries.
A centralized search engine has inherent speed advantages that can not be overcome by P2P systems until the speed of light is increased by a few factors of magnitude.
My point was a decentralized search engine will be more resistent for global legal threat abuse, technical tampering and political censorship. This I consider more important than speed. Remember, someone even prefer ssl encrypted privacy before web site speed.
And yet, without IP protection, the GPL would be impossible. I think it's ironic that the GPL's greatest contribution is to show the power and versatility of copyright law.
By quoting me, you have just used my written intellectual property in a derived work. Do you have a license? According the authorship law number 121/2000 Sb.(Autorsky zakon) of the Czech republic, which is valid at the place I am posting from, I have right for a fair revenue based on number of copies you provided, even if my work does not contain an explicit copyright. How many copies have your reply on Slashdot?
No, GPL is just an exploration in logical flaw inherent in the U.S. IP legal system. Without IP protection, no one would need a GPL.
It should be noted of course that Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein are old friends of the US elite who armed them during the 1980's, even though they had the same disregard for human life back then as they do now. If they didn't, the US ruling class would have never supported them.
Osama Bin Laden was an american agent, paid and supported by U.S. government, yes. Since september 2001, I have a suspicion he still remains to be an american agent.
Technically, the result of 9/11 is the huge U.S. military presence in former soviet sphere of influence, even in some states formerly parted from Soviet Union itself (Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan).
I predict a decline for Google and all other centralised search engines with the ascent of P2P anonymous network dedicated to indexing and search services. It's only a matter of time when someone will get an idea. Bye bye, Big Brother.
So, I would not invest a single eurocent not only to Google, nor to any other search portal.
Intellectual property is an oxymoron. Unlike brick of stone, it is not possible to own an information. The substance of information is TO BE PASSED AROUND.
Of course, it is possible to keep owning it as existing in legal nonreality by law. That happened in U.S. with slavery too. But some americans were not impressed by slavery themselves. Would be the history repeating itself?
Here in Prague we have a managed by city joined dispatching for all services: police, fire and medical rescue both road and air. All dispatchers sit in one room. All called by same number, 112 on mobile services.
I can't understand why you cannot have at least a permanent voice line to a police dispatching. Such a facility was available here even in WW2, under the german occupation, 60 years ago.
Police dispatcher should be talking with you what's needed. Or, are you a bunch on illegal kidney stealers?

That one's easy. Randomize scan. More, it would be a cheap dos attack, just by scanning.

Why should I use a preview of future 64-bit Windows when I can use current 64-bit Linux just now?
...term "working consumer" is a synonym to "slave".
We already noticed a Times of a New Roman [Empire] coming, thank you for your information.

Yes, MS should laugh on EU and take their 40% of global Windows revenue elsewhere.

As for terrorism, we should ask: Qui bono?

1. Read some router code
2. Document all critical security vulnerabilities
3. Do not report any bugs
4. ???
5. Profit!
Perhaps someone should try to google for the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Methodically, these numbers should be added to Windows TCO.
