How about:
Copywrite ownership ALWAYS remains with the original author. Also meaning you cannot copywrite Public Domain.
Copywrite lasts for up to 25 years, or when the author dies.
Copywrited works can be used in any manner other than re-distributing in whole or in part without the author's explicit consent.
I'm an Aussie too! Let's get something that works.
How about a CD that installs firefox as their default browser, installs a firewall and changes their wallpaper to a photo of you in front of a christmas tree?
It could also run adware or similar and give them a nice clean PC as a christmas gift!
Since gaming is now a big selling market, and BigScreen gaming (with live audiences) is becoming a little more popular, I wonder just how long until the gamers begin to gain popularity via reality TV shows such at "Idol".
Can you imagine it? International Halo 2 Star. A cross between traditional gaming and WWF style acting? The possibilities are endless.
Perhaps if you organise a tournament as opposed to a LAN then you'd be able to use that type of structure. Divisions for leets down to noobs - or maybe some handicap system. Prizes for the winners big screens for the final matches so everyone can watch. If you build up the atmosphere it's bound to make people want to come back and try again next year - and bring their friends. Perhaps you could also have a website with statistics and results, forums or polls for what games people want to play. Or have a survey for the people who come (what can we do better, etc).
From what I've read previously, the rfid chips are not on the from wheel, but on the frame of the bike x distance from the front of the front tyre. the sensors in the road are also x distance from the finish line. So the front wheel crosses the finish line when the rfid crosses the sensor. This also eliminates and variations in wheel size / spinning effects.I imagine it'd be easier to read a rfid if it's not spinning about 60rpm too!
Notice there's not even a date mentioned in this article. It barely even suggests that ie7 will be released before longhorn (2008 last I heard).
Is it any wonder that people are switching away from a browser (and operating system) that can't even release system patches (XPSP2?) on time.
So While the windows development cycle had windows 95 after 14 years, what does linux have? Kde 3.2, Gnome 2.6, Fluxbox... and the rest. I'll have to admit, the windows user interface of win 2k & xp feels a bit smoother than X11, windows 95 doesn't.
I installed knoppix on my computer. I took me 2 commands, plus follow the installer prompts (about 5 or so), after booting up directly into a nice pretty gui that even windows users couldn't complain about.
I have another computer that was running win 2k, I upgraded it to xp, downloaded all of the patches and updates (except sp2 - that crashed my pc last time I touched that one) and the usb ports don't work. I've never had that trouble with linux.
How about all feeds are encrypted with the GPG key of the original server, and passed along as binaries. Clients would only need to read the public GPG key from the original server once to check that what they were reading was an original source.
I saw a premier on monday night... free.
They even had security guards with metal detectors. I couldn't see any night vision goggles though (and I was looking).
A brief review here.
I've found that the best time to play on the pc (games or otherwise) is to get her to call a friend. That'll normally buy you 1-1.5 hours (or more if you're lucky). She has fun, you have fun - it's a win-win situation!
Perhaps this required a modification to lilo. One of the boot options then becomes "[The User] has died.". From here it will launch a script purging itself of any 'sensitive information", publishing death notices to your blogs (you even get to write the eulogy), sharing all the music / movies / whatever to as manty p2ps as you can (can't get sued if you're dead), and displaying all passwords and locations of important data to the person logging on. Then you can launch a few DOS attacks agains a few friends (or not friends?!).

I think this would be an obvious step, run the cables to a central 'hub/switch'. You'd have to be on some pretty hard stuff to hard wire an entire neighbourhood!
This is probably a good idea for the rest of the services too!
Another point, any legal issues with sharing any of these connections?! Not something you want to find out six months later.
Why upgrade your video card and buy a KVM when software (VNC et. al.) will suffice?
Of course this solution depends greatly on the intended use, as it is not entirely suited to hardcore gaming, etc.
Most people I know (myself included) claim to use digital copying to retain backups (albeit lossy) or media stored on CDs & DVDs. I couldn't count the number of CDs or DVDs that simply can't be listened to due to scratches from lending to friends or kids playing with.
Now, if there was a service where I could return my damaged disk to be replaced with a new (undamaged) disk, our 'backup' arguement would go out the window. I would still be copying media to my PC because it's so much easier to select all CDs by my favourite artist or load up a playlist than playing track one by one and changing disks in between. Not to mention transferring media between different PCs in different rooms of the house.
I was very disappointed when I saw LOTR: ROTK, and there was no Battle of Hobbiton. I was really hoping to see this scene, and it just wasn't there.
Then there is also Tom Bombadil. Where'd he go?
If they stick to the story in the movie, then they're missing out some really cool stuff they Tolkin (and many devout fans) would (and did) sorely miss.
And if they do follow the book, then all the wanna be fans won't have a clue where all the extra bits come from (or why they're important to the story).

My company bought out hundreds (or thousands) of urls just to avoid that possibility before deciding which one to go for

How about being able to download old episodes of Dr Who from a phone booth... how cool would that be?

I guess this also means NVidia are going to continue to support their linux drivers... perhaps even update them a little more often?

Also, the problem with using characters not in this range is that you can't access them from a difference keyboard set. (or at least not easily).
