4th-hand rumors do not in any way consistitute truth. Additionally, taking something with you to another country for your own use does not constitute "export."
"...a nation whose principal exports are fast food, Hollywood movies, Internet cafes, arrogance, swagger, and democracy"
...and nuclear weapons, cultural imperialism, lowest-common-denominator entertainment, anti-intellectualism, gun culture, hyper-agressive business practices, corporate owned 'democracy', business by lawsuit, capitalism as religion, religion as capitalism, all-out economic war against it's supposed allies (cloaked in fluffy terms like 'globalisation' and 'free trade'), 18th-century labour and health policies...
I defy you to name a single instance in which the U.S. has exported nuclear weapons.
That claim, as well as the rest of that paragraph, for that matter, is a bunch of total nonsense.
I don't understand why you were modded "Insightful" instead of "Troll" or "Flamebait". Someone with mod points apparently shares your American-bashing agenda.
I read (well, skimmed) most the text of the act, and from what I got from it, it only makes it illegal to do the following:
Send email advertising a commercial product to 10 or more recipients (or 10 or more different emails to the same recipient).
AND ALSO
Disguise the origin of the message.
So, technically, you could legally (at least as far as this law is concerned) send spam from a zombie machine as long as you don't disguise the fact that you (or your company) sent it. Of course, the owner of that machine (or the owner's ISP) may have some words for/legal claims against you.
However, the tricky part is figuring out and providing (in court) who the sender of the spam actually was.
as much as i like the idea of a miracle cure such as this, i was under the impression that it was a fair way off yet... are there any more details on the story? the link seems to be:
inject cells
???
people walk!
I believe that is scientifically known as the "Underpants Gnome Effect".
I hope you're joking. There's no need to kill an embryo to get umbilical cord cells. You just need someone to give birth to a baby (and no, you don't have to kill the baby afterwards).
So you're saying you'd kidnap and behead innocent civilians, including foreign aid workers who have lived and done charity work in the country for decades?
I use Andrew File System (specifically, http://www.openafs.org/) for my files, since I was used to using it at school, and I'm fond of its access control system. It allows you to designate redudant sites for your volumes for backup or load balancing purposes. However, its major downside is that it's optimized for reads but not for writes (PVFS would probably work better if you need optimal write performance), and it can be a real bitch to set up for the first time. I've also yet to figure out how to get it to work through my NAT, though it's supposed to be possible. It beats the hell out of NFS (v2, at least, I haven't really taken a look at NFS v3) in terms of reliability, security, and scalability, though.

I submitted the exact same story yesterday, but from a different source, and it was rejected. :-(
