It's not out of nowhere, in fact I think slashdot reported on this project already.
This is Canonical software, far as I can tell, and there has already been discussion about it on the Debian lists -- since Canonical employed a swath of regular Debian developers.
The first popular file-sharing program was Napster, whic hpioneered a new way to exploit Internet technology by creating a system in which computer users could download files from other users.

hoooo boy. what's that internet for again?
I'd argue that women in muslim countries are more objectified then women in western countries. In fact, I'd say that extremely othordox muslim observation objectifies women to the extreme.
We're talking about genital mutliation practices, requirements for pubic hair shaving -- use of women exclusively for house-support and sex (it's not allowed for women to express their opinion to men in any fashion).
If that isn't the objectification of women, I'm not sure I know what is.
I'm not sure it's fair to assume that Abbot was either. In fact, it doesn't seem unreasonable to believe that Abbot was intentionally commenting on / highlighting the (rampant) sexism and classism of his time.
So, I usually don't like to dissent -- but I felt the need to say that while geometry is certainly a big part of Flatland, I don't think of it as a book about geometry.
Flatland was published in the 1880s, and seems to me to contain some fairly powerful commentary on the class structure of Abbot's society. Sure, it's all about squares and circles, but as a good friend of mine said to her father once:
"Sometimes, when people write about circles, they're actually writing about something else."
Or, alternatively, this text from Flatland's dedication:
This Work is Dedicated
By a Humble Native of Flatland
In the Hope that
Even as he was Initiated into the Mysteries
Of THREE Dimensions
Having been previously conversant
With ONLY TWO
So the Citizens of that Celestial Region
May aspire yet higher and higher
To the Secrets of FOUR FIVE OR EVEN SIX Dimensions
Thereby contributing
To the Enlargment of THE IMAGINATION
And the possible Development
Of that most and excellent Gift of MODESTY
Among the Superior Races
Of SOLID HUMANITY
What an example of how just totally evil the DMCA is as a law... It protects corporate cartels (MPAA), and for-profit "religions" (cult more properly describes Scientology though).
*sigh*
The DMCA has portions that can be annoying, like the much-hyped sections invoked by these 'cartels' and 'religions.' What you must not forget is that the DMCA also protects ISPs from trouble when their users post copyrighted information, as well as protecting caching-proxy operators from copyright violation for objects cached.
These are important things, and aren't necessarily protecting those 'bad guys.'
seems like you can change your name, email address by changing 'your account' settings. also, you can delete all the credit cards you've used, as well as all addresses you've shipped to. Of course, I have no idea what all that _actually_ does to their internal databases.

It's a little frustrating that you don't give any specific details.
I installed from a daily cd image onto AMD64 last week, with no issues, and have been using it as my primary desktop since.
Everything works great, and I haven't found the repository (including universe) lacking a single thing I've gone looking for.
I'm pretty awesome at this slashdot thing, huh? This link works better

I chopped off a finger as punishment, don't worry.
You should read Lawrence Lessig's book 'code'.
I think, sadly, you're wrong.
no cash is likely to be synonymous with 'no anonymous transactions'.

wow, if I'd said that in a post, it'd be modded down as 'troll'
