There's information available, and someone who wants it, and can pay. Beyond unfairly-authorized, there are sure to be lots of undocumented, secret abuses, at several levels of access to the technology, authority, information, and personnel, etc involved.
vmware does share memory pages.
KSM appears to have that now too, haven't read much about it -
unix-linux uses this very well in multiuser, especially in LTSP, where users running the same program share the memory. I don't know if windows terminal server does it nowadays - it didn't when I used it, several versions ago.
It was an early form of it. At the time there was no distinction between 'clones' and 'duplicated'. They mistakenly eliminated clones, while the duplicates escaped - they couldn't told apart from originals.
These days clones have their roles and rights better defined, and can usually survive if the commit no illegal operations in the known social memory.
Duplicates however are usually found by the Trusted Computing(c) DRM de-duplication techniques. They are rumored to sometimes destroy the originals mistakenly, along with their hosts, though that's safely prevented and handled by the Public Relations (c) BRNWSH technologies. So we have never heard of any such cases.

Cuba, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan have done much less damage to the US. A couple of laws on offshore income would do it though, an invasion won't really be necessary.
i think linux and open source will grow in users on the measure that they have cheaper and better stuff, for general consumers. For techs and programmers, also on the measure conscience and technical requirements demanding open source grows. Open source has succeeded in lower costs, and in many cases technically better products, but as for the user interface, functions and usability by non-techs, it still is behind, which is what's still holding it back. Solving the technical issues behind the usability and functions appears technically quite possible, but it appears to be a stuctural problem more of the motivation of programmers and technical types and groups involved, mostly oriented towards the needs of techs, not so much of regular users.
It may not make a lot of sense for a computer company to buy a microprocessor company. The microprocessor company will lose clients that are competitors of the computer company, the microprocessor will lose market share, and the computer company will find itself with processors that only it has, which are not supported elsewhere. Unless of course it has visions of magnificent grandiosity, unlimited inventiveness capability, inventing chips and computers that nobody else can, selling products nobody has ever imagined. Apple is one of few companies which design computer architectures, along with Intel, and IBM perhaps, which make their own chips, so maybe they are foreseeing becoming more of a competitor of Intel. It wouldn't be their first crazy move.
Although the expression "human nature" is common, and human beings do have tendencies which they almost always repeat, similar to nature, where humans have come from, humans can also break their tendencies and go against them, which is basic to human evolution. So if there is a human nature, it is to modify his own natural conditions. At this point in history, this is still rather primitive and not too visible. (Not my ideas, I got them from humanism. )
The underdog in the game sells a better product. But ultimately it's a product, which needs to earn costs+profit margins, and when it goes in the garbage, another will be sold, which will help the earnings.
I have a company. It makes money and pays the bills and salaries. But I was always a rebel. Every company ultimately exists to earn profit, it functions for its costs plus profit margin, profitable accounting, and does things to that objective. Unfortunately that often leads to not so good for humanity in general, but great things for the company -- all PR and rationalizations aside. Many of us have said "I don't want to do this, I just don't see an alternative, and I want to keep the job." Either you conform, and get paid and rewarded as part of the "famiglia", or you rebel, and become an outcast, and earn little, or nothing. Art, justice, principles and nature don't make money. Products that become garbage do. If you have a job, you do what you're paid for - and that is not to think and question and create revolution in society, or the company. Apple and Google are companies, as Microsoft and IBM. Monopoly is good for the company, the objective, the earnings. Perhaps they preach "capitalism-light" or "capitalism with a heart and brain", but at the end of the day, the primary purpose must prevail, or they convert to an NGO, or an association of engineers, or go under and dissolve. Real change of the purpose and motivation would mean changing society, the financial system, the work-rewarding system, the motivation given to all of society, the social psychology.
All data that exists, and someone can sell somehow, is for sale somewhere, somehow. That's the law of money, which is rather strong. So forget the right to privacy law, it's not working for a long time now, there is no way to enforce it, just like the law prohibiting drugs, it just doesn't work. I don't know the solution, or if it's good or bad, but that's the situation, like it or not. Wikileaks, for example, is a result of this.
Somehow I think technology ultimately goes against privacy. Which deserves some thinking. People are entitled to privacy, the right to be left alone, but perhaps "right to privacy" is often confused, or abused, with a right to isolation, of self or others, to maintain ignorance of facts or events, to secrecy, or of doing illegal-immoral things out of sight. For example, many large properties have private slaves, but out of sight, where nobody can see. They have a right to their privacy. Technology's role is more complicated. It basically follows human will. But so far, it generally makes information go around faster, easier, wider. Any information, desirable or not. It can be used to block information too, but it tends to not work as well, perhaps because that's basically not how people work, as well. People are connected to each other, even when they are physically alone, society is ultimately a link, few people are really isolated. Breaking the privacy of people in power, on the things they do in secret with their authority, that influences their society negatively, might be in the interest of society, but not in that of their privacy. The privacy of individual citizens is, on the other hand, more and more eroded, and although it remains a right, it appears to be a right that is merely on paper, as increasingly privacy accompanies power.
False flag operations "False flag operations are covert operations which are designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example during Italy's strategy of tension."...
It's because jail has free food, free healthcare, stuff to do, TV, internet, etc.
All paid for by the taxpayers.
I haven't been to a jail, but somehow I don't think most people think it's that great, haven't seen many cases of people trying to get in. Perhaps you liked it, though, I guess it's understandable.
Our judicial system is far more broken than most Americans believe.
Yep. Education and health and elections and bunch of other basic-social-structure things too, all work terribly. Everyone loves to complain about everything, nobody wants to get their hands dirty and go work in it and fix it, study how it works, spend time. People want to make money. What makes money isn't fixing society, it's things that take money from people, whether it's useful or not, good or not.. it takes money, it makes money.
Shooting yourself in the foot, 20000 law suits at a time. Apparently the independents are not more down to earth than the MPAA, just less successful. Way to ruin a reputation.
Making money off anything you've done is apparently eroding as a basic american value these days. Which I actually agree with, making money should be linked to doing something which contributes to advance society, but currently there's no real concrete measurement methods for who does how much of that.
'We're creating a revenue stream and monetizing the equivalent of an alternative distribution channel,' says Jeffrey Weaver, another lawyer at the firm."
This seems pretty different. I wonder if somehow someone will find a way of suing drug users, dealers, hookers, drunks, corrupt administrators, and on-the-job slackers to convert them all into a revenue stream. Perhaps it's time to get a job in law firms, salaries are about to go up.
How is it that everybody's forgotten that advertisement revenues are quite significant on high visibility (pun unintended) sites?
the guys at sex.com got addicted to expensive hookers and blow, so they hookers and drug dealers took them to court. Don't know if they will recover the blow and sex, it's all gone. But they will all enjoy the ride, it's part of their show.
It's a great moment to protest against government espionage. Everyone in the west will agree on protesting chinese espionage, but it will indirectly call attention to western government practices too. Implementing protests in Chinese text does pose some interesting technical and language problems....
If everyone spreads messages protesting china all over the net, it will be hard for them to hide. Google should spread the message right on their homepage. They can do it now.

So, Blade Runner was about de-duplication?
It was an early form of it. At the time there was no distinction between 'clones' and 'duplicated'.
