Pardon my english, but does this have anything to do with throwing jamm at satelites and is that why they don't use rockets and started using plannes to throw satelites?
It's a Open Source show and tell, not a linux install party.
Do a cartoon: "For my show and tell i bring to you a dissected frog, my version of closed source pet after some messing around with no instructions in how to adapt the pet to my needs.
This is not a Open Sourced Pet, so i have no license to chnage it.
Since the lincense is propriatary, i can't do the changes to upgrade im into a flying pet and catch more flies."

Try to give: - 1 pan to each participant; - The same number of eggs as participants to one of the participants; - Salt to another; - Dishes to another;... and so on, and then ask them to make an omolete by convincing each other to that you pan is better to do the omollete.
Secretlly promise sushi lunch to one or two of the participants if they get the ommolet on the pan they have.
After some time reveal you secret agrrement, and ask each participant to give some of the things youo gave them.
Finnally you will have Open Source lunch; - Everyone gave very little, but all gainned.

Unfortunatly enought, users tend to have this kind of actitude, participating only to gain the spotlight, even if for reasons not related with the content it self.
(Cinical remark) Good thing we have Slashdot moderators to give a zero score to this kind of participation.
After listening to Bill Gates interview to Engadget, and taking a look at today's Portuguese newspapers, this is what I found out: - News papers repeatedly state that this virus are a threat "only for the Symbian OS"; - Bill Gates seamed very keen on the development for is new smartphone/pda OS convergence. Maybe, just maybe, PR companies are making this all more then it should be in favour of Microsoft.
Just like in UEFA's case when they defend not to implement better/technical ways to help referees so people have something to talk about after the games, it looks to me that users are not all that worried about having their cell phones hacked by strangers, otherwise they would do something about it.
See for example when people in a bar star sending Bluetooth Cards to unknown present phones, just for the fun of getting involved with someone they don't know.
This doesn't mean that companies should not enforce better coding in their phones.
What it means is that by broadening the usage of such gadgetry, people tend to behave with it like they do when they choose their closes.
So if someone chooses to show some more skin on the street, it is a undeniably behaviour to attract others to them. It's a little far fetched, but psycho-social behaviour should also be taken in account.
I am from Portugal and defending that the media market is rather changing then loosing clients has been a dificult task near the national radios and music industrie in general.
The long hours to go to work and back are more and more a problem to everyone, leaving radio as the medicine,
But radio is so much like a can of spam all the time that users choose zapping through stations rather then listening to one station only,
Our national radio stations, wich look up to BBC, maybe now will follow and more podcast will apear, but in portuguese.:)
Radio stations that give the users what they want will gain market share and might get a slice of further revenues.
You can't be expected to manage a machine that can make damage to others without knowing at least what is running inside.
We are not talking about mp3 players or Game consoles. If you misuse your Mp3 player you will only lose your stuff.
A user with now knowledge of the power of a tool might endanger others, or in a internet server case, allow others to harm without beeing prosecuted for their actions.

What? No Notebook? I'll try to remember to take my PAPYRUS!
With the oil prices going through the roof the question should be:
- Would you take even less money home for a more interesting job?
My question is: Does this interest thing comes in a bikini and thong?
I propose we start a Crack-a-terrorist-hard-drive[at]home project, just like SETI[at]HOME, properly GPLed so they don't use it to any other thing.
Our cicles will contribute to the larger effort of releasing the porn from this alleged terrorist's hard drives.
The thing is that there will allways be people that will prefer to own a box they can display in the bookshelf.
"Look, mother! I have invented the bright white light"
Just like the military, screamming out theyre lugs to make others #S#$$$$"W theyre pants.
A good thing would be not having to make the phone/iPod/gadget fisically toutch the "thing".
But it still looks like a nice bed side lamp...

What a cheap trick RIAA/MPAA are playing?
Do you mean they really didn't wanted us to DL all that content for free?
What about the conspiracy theory that the Bill Gates wanted his Operating System to be copyied?
With all those keys in your hand, would'nt there be a problem typing the code needed to crack the safe?
I also started my own 10 days experiement, but kept it going until today. It as been more then one year now.
Because i no longer play games, they are not the issue anymore, But when they used to be, wine did the trick very well.
I keep a windows xp at home for usabilitie and compatibilitie testing porpose only.
... but i kicked it in the nuts!
... because i am very poor at spelling.
Congratulations.
This is ABSOLUTELY the worth Portuguese translations I ever read.
I will now mark you as my friend!
A real translations would go something along this line:
"As minhas felicitações pela sua nova habilidade de datilografar em português."
The rest, i did'nt get it.
If not. Sorry.
My email doesn't run on immitations.

/. just today released a story about PR works.
Can you guess the 3 experts and who payed for this one?
And by the way: who want's to ear this old gizzers, anyway?
...or rather ear it.

Linux is about freedom.
Freedom has a price, in this case the price is RTFM (Read The Fucking Manual).
