Just not as fast as the 'pay to play' space. There is still a huge growth in the 'free information' space, or a least the 'free information with garbage adverts attached' space.
But the laws covering IP are still a problem when they affect what people can create themselves and give freely. Patents are worse than copyright in this regard, because if I've never heard of Word or Office or whatever, I can recreate it (or similar functionality) myself and give it away for free. With patents, I can't even give away code that I wrote having never heard of their approach to the problem.
Be careful with editing "Channels You Receive". On our cable plant, channel 44 was some spanish language channel, that I marked as 'don't receive', so I wouldn't get suggestions from it, or have to channel surf past it. However, since we "don't recieve" it, the tivo didn't send messages about channel line up changes on that channel. So, when our cable plant started carrying UPN (Voyager & The Twilight Zone!) on 44, I had no idea until just this week.
I can see it now. NASA tests a mass-driver method of moving an asteroid. 50 years later that asteroid comes out of the sun (so we don't have warning) and smacks us right in the ass! I think the lawyers would have a field day with that one:-)
I like Dan B's software, and run djbdns, publicfile and qmail, but the Internet Mail 2000 does very little for spam. Spammers would still send you notifications of new messages, you (or your agent) would still have to look at the headers (assuming that you were sent all of them as part of the notification), or wait for them to download, then look at them. Spammers would still compose their message in such a way as to get people to read it, fradulently if necessary. The only way it helps is in the storage and bandwidth allocation. The spammer would end up paying for the bandwidth for each message view (because it'd be harder for them to use an open relay without relays:-), and the spammed wouldn't have to pay for storage. But the end user would still be fighting against undesired messages in their mailboxes, or be forced to use whitelists. I believe that hashcash is an idea with much more promise.
Kmart in Goleta, CA has this now. Only you swipe the goods yourself. It has cameras watching you swipe the stuff, and I'm not sure if it's that it uses image processing, or if there's another sensor in the area where you bag the groceries, but it get confused sometimes and asks you to 'remove the unpurchased item from your bag'.
Actually, when lightning strikes sand, it makes a type of glass called Fulgurite.
And since Steel has to be made from Coke and Iron, I don't think that occurs naturally anywhere. And Aluminum is found naturally as Aluminum Oxide, not the stuff your case is made out of. Here's more info.
Note that it's not the pretty stuff in Sweet Home Alabama.
My main keyboard at home doesn't have any keycaps. It's a prototype NeXT keyboard that I bought from one of their hardware engineers. It doesn't have anything printed on any of the keycaps. It keeps people from messing with my computer! I suppose it would work even better if I used a non-qwerty layout:-)
Sure, you get get to single-user mode on my machines if you know the ROM password. Want real security? Buy a Mac or a 'real' unix box, like a Sun or SGI, or NeXT:-)
Not that the ROM checks the signature on the drive, so you can still get in if you can get to the drive, but having access to the console isn't necessarily access to the computer/drives.
That's the beauty of Open Source. It's environmental as well. The lower cpu overhead saves electricity and the fact that printing never works saves trees!
Headsets are good, because if you're holding your PDA to your ear, how are you using it to take notes? With a headset, I can talk to someone and take notes on my PDA at the same time.

Sure, is a SMOP (simple matter of programming). But the thing is, it's not that simple to get it right. But Microsoft has gotten rich selling poor quality software because people didn't want to pay the premium for Apple stuff.
So, what did your $50 get you? Do you use the card, or was it $50 wasted, instead of $300 you'd gladly shell out again?
Yeah, there's no way you could pay me that little to admin linux/unix. (And there's almost no amount you could pay me to admin windows. Ok, 100Mil/year, so I can work for 2 months and retire...:-)

yeah, because having them just show up while you're putting the moves on their daughter is so much better
The access time can be achieved simply by replicating the data over the earth's surface at points no more than 1500km apart. :-)

Wow, my mom kicks ass, out of all the non-redundant Google results for 'robert.thille' (without the quotes), all but 1 or 2 are me!
But somehow when I was in Hawaii, there were two Robert Thille's renting a car from the same car rental company the same day... Wierd.

So far, the best monitor I've found for text is my NeXT monochrome CRT. I'd love to be able to get a high-res Greyscale LCD for text work (coding).

No, his comment was directed toward Porn, not spam. Despite the parent's lumping them together, he didn't.
