Somehow I do not feel like going after these spammers at all, but more for just better working ISPs to disconnect bots of the net, and disconnect spammers of the net.
Well, how about kasteroids, or kbounce, or Shisen So , and I can go on for a lot more supercool games. Even some 3D ones like tux-racer (I still have to set ip up so it will run oneday on my super standard budget priced SiS chipset card).
And besides that you can have fun with configuring postfix with cyrus, or with sendmail and imap, and then create fake e-mails and send them to yourself so you see how much you can do by typing in telnet on port 25.
Or even more fun: Run apache and create your own website for everybody to see.
That is why some people use methods like timeboxing (check your e-mail twice a day), deliberately do not run message programs, and really extreme: Let the voicemail enter the phone, if they do not leave a voicemail, it is not important.
Looking at windows machines with IE, I would call IE a killer app enabler, and by itself that could make it a killer app, so you have been helped out here.
nice small PSP and than add a full size keyboard, hmm. It probably will drain the battery in no time so you have to stay connected to a powersupply all the time too. I see a great future for this hack (and for battery pack sellers).
An identifier, used by several Dutch banks, as one time authentication. Even if you are on a phish site, you can use this and still not get scammed: Insert your bankcard, type your pincode, type the code provided by the site, press OK, type the return code into the website.
For a scam site to be able to crack this they need to live interface with the real bank, so they login at the bank site once you enter your code on their site. Grab the codes of the banksite, show them to you etc etc..
It is an important point to start at the schools. In the past however companies pushed windows into the schools. In the start we didn't work with windows, but with Mac and some other odd (I do not remember the names anymore) systems.
The only question I have since I am very familiar with the school market in the Netherlands, is the following:
Do New Zealand schools not suffer under a random set of badly written windows programs which they call there teaching method? This is really blocking all migration options in NL, since there are no standarized methods, a lot of software is written bad (not even following MS standards, so even MS has trouble running them between windows versions!!), and every CD a teacher carries into the school has to work (they want to install it themselves, and then expect people to be able to support them for almost nothing at all).
I am pro opensource patents. You can license the patent to other open source projects, and so keep the supporters happy. MS & others companies too also tries to keep the community from using ideas. By patenting the ideas which the community has, you can better reach the goal of no patents, since you will have something to negotiate with. If you do not patent anything, but just have the prior art so the other one can not patent it either (see how good that works at for example the Amazon patents), then good opensource projects which really capture the public (ie people who did not care about opensource and are not busy with the concepts of it), can be wiped out again since they become target of the big patenting companies.
Firefox has the size of a very reasonable business, and needs some form of protection other then the GPL (or whatever license they use exactly) to be able to sustain in this market.
This is not promoting "clean coal power", but a realisation process which will take a long long time. The only thing which will speed up the process is a disaster. This is also not a Bush goverment which needs to promote the opinion of large companies to be re-elected (or a new republican president to be elected). The Chinese goverment is focussed on growth, but they do work on the sustainability. The western world has passed some of the phases already (big poison scandals, just a new one again with a teflon creation ingredient), we can not expect them to jump to the front row at once. People mostly learn from their own experiences, very little from others.
You are right there. How about ideas which make tabbed browsing look like a nice little invention, and patent those. It will make the browser much more valuable without hurting standards? It is not greed, it is just equalling the playing field.

MS will try to keep integrating non web standards into its browser IE, resulting in people acutally using these new features (cool or usefull?), resulting in people using IE whether they like the browser or not, flawed like hell or not. They use it because it works on all sites. The good news I saw today (previous/. post) is that somebody made an extension which works well in firefox, but not good in IE. More of that is needed to fight on equal terms. Maybe one innovation which MS wants to use, but which is patented by the mozilla foundation, effectively blocking MS from using it, just to get some negotation leverage to force MS to stop adding nonsense & bad implementations of standards to IE.
Sorry for Zeta, but this looks like fvwm95 or windows 95 without the goodies installed. They may have been way ahead, but I will prefer my KDE desktop over this any time.
5 moderation levels saying which age is appropriate.
1. Is there sex (S) in it? If yes, 18+
2. Is there excisive violance (V) and S in it, well, 18+, V only no S 12+
3. Is there S,V and bad language (L) in it, 18+, L only is 6+
4. Is it all in another language than dutch (so subtitle bad language only): All ages.
5. Is it done by a famous actor/singer/director, then it must be art, so 12+ whatever happens (for example Spielbergs movie "Schindlers list", rated 12+)
In other words: How fine is the line which is being drawn? What not mentioned factors in the article will take care that something can be broadcasted at prime time anyway?
Or it is really smart phish mail. You will try to be helpfull, provide them with some of your data to take care that you do not get blaimed for this wrongdoing, et voila, you end up being scammed.
Same as in the "e-Bay account messages". At the bottom they now place a line saying that there will be a reactivation fine of $350 if you do not respond. Smart, try to deceive and scare people into your fraud.
Slashdot Mirror
So I do not think they really have a chance. If this patents makes it though, I am going to patent the use of creativity and images itself.
C&C and Red Alert work good under Wine? Hum, time to get them out of the windows environment.

Well, Terminator is a good name for MS windows. It will surely end all your computer fun (-:
Please turn off all electronic devices for take off (and then plunge straight into your depression)

Another analogy which follows out of this is:
If paid sex is illegal in certain countries, is paying for this kind of support then legal??
Gore claims he invented/build the internet, and Bush claims he invented the search engine?
Then we are about the same age I guess: Apple ][ & lode runner (I still suck at lode runner though)
Is the question not first: Can it run?

I live in a duopoly, it doesn't work. Please force a disconnected hardware and service layer. That promotes much more creativity and innovation.
