Nice idea but it can't work. What happens in mailing lists? If someone is mailing hundreds or thousands of people legitimately then how much bond money are they going to have to risk?
What about the temptation to abuse the system? If someone doesn't spam you but you say they do to take their money, what happens?
We need to continue developing better filteds until Congress eventually decides to tackle spam rather than jump in bed with RIAA to take our rights away.
Upgrading to KDE 3.2

Review: KDE 3.2

I am about to upgrade to KDE 3.2, it certainly appears like a good improvement to a good system
This isn't about banning sales and to argue that parents should monitor instead of having ratings is a false dichotomy. Many responsible parents give 'pocket money' to children to help teach them about responsible spending, and without having age restrictions this takes away the possibility of parents to prevent purchases.
Minors can't buy pornography or watch violent films on their own, why should games be treated any differently? If a parent wants to let their child have a game then they can get it for them.
This isn't a nanny state interfering and trying to ban games or micromanage people's lives, all it does is attempt to hand some control to responsible parents over what games their children can buy.
The article, while sensationalised, IS a comment article and not a factual report. Furthermore it does not attack all or even most Linux users, it just says it is a _possibility_ that one (1) Linux user has attacked SCO. That is a definite possibility, this is far from the first Denial of Service attack on SCO since they launched their groundless legal bullying.
I would have thought the author of the article himself saying it was just a possibility would have made it clear what he was saying.

OK this is a serious question so please don't blast me, but what is wrong with Amazon?
If you're trying to find a copy of the book, its available at Amazon. Hope that helps.
