The problem is that your boss usually don't think that travel time it's work time. If you are in the office and must go to visit a client across the city your boss thinks that you aren't working.
If you need to buy a new printer for you home-pc, where you work usually, that's not working.
If you work at night, when your boss isn't watching the damn thing, you aren't working.
It's not important where you are. The important it's that when the job has to be finished it's finished.
cognitive scientist David Meyer reports that truly effective multitasking is beyond people's capabilities
It's just like PCs. You think that you can do multitasking, but if there are one-processor PCs it's beyond its capabilities.
But I can do Co-operative multitasking while I'm reading slashdot I watch TV and if my boss calls me I'm "working" too.
I'd like to see how they plan on monitoring my mage as it talks to your cleric in some obscure, nearly impossible to reach (unless you're level 50) corner of our favorite MUD.
So it's only an FBI trick to get access to high level areas on MMORPG.
FBI: We need to access those high level players talks.
Everquest Admin: I can't let you cheat.
FBI: Read USA PATRIOT Act, you insensitive clod!
The problem is that the way every other company out there would is just buying competency. Oracle vs People Soft
You can read about how bad it's this would hurt competition at Miscrosoft-CNet.
and this guys at Microsoft know about they are talking.
Before 1999:
As in the United States, France has long classified encryption as a military or dual-use technology, and accordingly restricted its export. It received special treatment in a small flourish appended to the 20-page telecommunications law of December 29, 1990. Article 28 of this law required government permission for any use of encryption.
No immediate action was taken on what the French refer to as "the December 29 law," but six years later a more comprehensive bill was passed. This July 26, 1996 law specifies that users of secret keys must store them with organizations that will furnish them to government officials as needed for crime-fighting purposes, a plan commonly known as "trusted third parties" or (in the United States) as "key escrow," "key recovery," or "government access to keys." Original article
At this moment France has changed his mind and has raised 40-bit level to 128 bits on civil encryption.

If JK.Rowling can chose not to make a movie with Spielberg any one can have creative control. But book authors are more interested in money than in the creative control. When they have the money in their pocket they complain about the creative process.
but none of these licenses is compatible with GPL. Which is OK for me, I'm not a religious fanatic
The GNU General Public License has done possible the existence of Open Source. So a lot of people thikns that it's a great idea, and I don't think that they are religious fanatics. They just prefer the GPL filosofy and objectives.
I just want my software to be free (as in beer) and usable
If you want gratis software then just pirate it like a bunch of people do.
What happened to Doom 3? Doom 3 SDK was released a long time ago and there are few mods.
The mod maker Orange Smoothie has done nothing with the Doom 3 engine: D3M: In general the whole Doom3 community is eagerly awaiting a modification that will bring Doom3 to the well known glory of Q3A for example. From your personal view, are you convinced to fulfill this task?
derean: Absolutely not, OSP for Quake3 has had hundreds and hundreds of man hours put into it by rhea and there is no way I could hope to put as much time into Doom3 as he did in Quake3. We can however provide a solid basis for future work and that's what we've set out to do.
May be 3D engines and SDKs are too complicated? Or was every body waiting the Half-Life 2 SDK?
I don't have a clue.
Live-CDs aren't only good for test Linux, but Live-Cds are wonderful rescue Cds and make Linux-boxes where only windows is available.
