if you want to write code for a cool handheld, why not get a GP2X, which is totally open, easy to develop for (using the standard GNU toolchain), runs Linux, and doesn't have a multi-national corporationa attempting to thwart you at every turn?
I think his point was that he just doesn't want the CPU running at 100% all the time. I don't run any of these distributed computing programs for the same reason. I suppose its possible to make an idle process with the same nice as boinc, or something, so they'd share at 50% each.
And then we get the proper worms that attach themselves to docs you're alreay sending. Plenty of that shit is circulating the net to be used as a vector.
Just don't be too surprised when you're arrested, torutured and ultimately murdered for the "crime" of having an unlicensed printing press.
No thanks, I'd much rather be fined into oblivion in the name of protecting an artist.
I do see the validity of copyright as a motivating factor. I'm just irritated at the tremendous profits it makes for the distributors of media, the corresponding ridiculous price levels for licenses, and the cost in reduced freedom for the consumers of media.
Then use said fortune to pay off fantastic cost of space travel.
Sounds a little like the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, by the end of time you have just enough money from compound interest to pay for your meal...
Sponges. Meet the sponges. They're animals that live in the sea. They're all Parazoa. Spongeocoel's the central cavity. They have A mouth called the osculum And they Feed with their choanocytes. When they Go reproduce They'll have a hermaphroditic time 'aphroditic time They'll have a gay old time (da, da da, da Da da da, da DaDa, da DaDa, da DaDa da, Da) THEY'LL HAVE A GAY OLD TIME
(probably spelled most of the terms wrong, I got some extra credit singing that in front of my high school biology class)

Find a more profitable line of work...
to which you respond something along the lines of "I guess you don't like to read..."
to which I respond, "yeah, this argument's a bitch, isn't it?"
It'd be nice if someone had a way to promote science and the useful arts without also promoting marketing and the useless arts.
hasn't Outlook Express had the option to create a hotmail account in the wizard anyway?
Someone should be ashamed for "sufficient horsepower left in the tank for a good connection"...
I know they used to say "put a tiger in your tank", but come on.

Sponges.
Meet the sponges.
They're animals that live in the sea.
They're all

Spongeocoel's the central cavity.
They have
A mouth called the osculum

When they
Go reproduce
They'll have a hermaphroditic time

They'll have a gay old time

THEY'LL HAVE A GAY OLD TIME

...for when keeping your box in a safe, cut off from the outside world, isn't an option.
With no apparent downside... except of course for the $6000+ price tag.
