software patents idea is probably as smart as speech patents one.
One should be able to patent smth like "Iraq might have made WMD that could be used against US" and get a lot of royalty from White House.
living in a country of law is good, but I'd never imagine it here (Russia). I NEVER saw a single legal Windows installation, though 4 years in IT. even government units use stolen crappy Win and if there is a governent thet would never care of Linux, that's ours:|
I live in an old-style "Stalin" house, some walls being more than 60cm (2ft) brick.
standard OEM 802.11b "frog" won't shoot through 2 such walls. and that's a big pity:)
Though ion drives are really effective in terms of specific impulse (you need little fuel for gaining unit momentum), they are not much mass-effective (thrust per unit engine mass) at all.
a trip to Mercury is a kind of parachute jump, you have to go really slowly or you're Sunburnt:). so if you want to get there faster, you first have to accelerate, and step on brakes afterwards. Russians say -- going slowly, get farther.:)
1st, to jam anything you need far more power then the target.
2st, since celular (1800 or 1900 MHz) wavelenth is about 15 cm, your antenna has to be as least 45 cm for so-so diffusion cone.
otherwice, the mentioned power will spread everywhere and fry your brains (consider you have some)
and it has to be a dish or phased array.
45 cm dish is not a good thing to aim with while driving.
they could put a processor there, powered by a coil.
and then, use some 4096-bin RSA, have a challenge from the bank solved.
well, or something like that

sonn they'll write their database engins in Macromedia Shockwave Flash :)

if yes, once it becomes 64-bit, it'll be bloody dangerous.
if I write some Ingres-deletion tools?
I am Microsoft officer under cover. Here's your DCMA ticket for $20k, to start with :)

At least in traffic jams?

the launch was delay due to bad weather. you know, if it's do or no not, you can waste a rocket. and it's damn expensive.
That's what US needs.
220V plug won't work either am I doing something wrong?
I guess it's the least probable thing for microsoft to do, the one before writing linux kernel modules and going open source.
To my mind, the whole DCMA is complete bullshit. and the only way to prove it is to world-wide violate it.

I heard of research works on laser launches. Like, they get 100kW CO2 laser and put some rubbish really high.
that would suit my "puter" ?..
Given 6e9 people, this thing does 15kbps per capita. this could be all of the cell-phone routers. Seriously :)
I know cluster node have no monitors, but just imagine such an array of BSOD...
Only Satan can take over it.
wait, can it run Linux?
should I water on my RFID-ed things too?

"all your base are belong to us"
Beowulf cluster anyone?
