I can't say anything of the submission process for infoAnarchy, as to whether it is readily available before it is 'posted'.
Your point is moot, as the source code would probably show up on the net the next day, if the threat of legal action and lengthy prison terms didn't exist
But they still retain their IP by not releasing the source. They laws exist to protect their property.
Rather difficult to sell it off if it's "near impossible to find", don't you think?
It is up to their discretion whether it is worth their time to look for it. If you misplaced a gold bar in your house and a guest finds it, who owns it? Does it matter whether the guest knows you don't know where it is?
Having an IDE controller in your 486 also presupposes a spare slot. Just, at the time, you had to plan ahead and figure that two slots are gone right from the start (video and IDE).
Nowadays, you might have no slots taken up by IDE video, sound and lan. This is a good thing as it is freeing up slots for you to go willy-nilly all over.. If you have to remove, say, a video capture board to make up for a broken IDE controller, just keep in mind that you never had the choice with your 486.
Probably what you want is some sort of indefinitely expandable bus that may actually be soming out this century:).

81 people voting (pardon me, only quoting) "Gay Niggers from Outer Space" up to 8.5 is not the same thing as 13,000 people voting FOTR up to 9.2.
I would expect that number to go back down as the people who didn't particularly care for it get their lazy butts around to making their preferences known. The people who cared already cast their votes.
Everything I do w/ OpenBSD beyond the base install (which gets rebuilt as well every so often) gets built from source. I think it is convenient for some that a package be available for people who find this annoying.
One of the best things about the BSD's is the presumed ability to do whatever you want with the software. If I want to build a set top box to sell to people, I can hack up everything and not have to worry about licensing issues (beside proudly giving credit where it is due)
All of this is due to the licensing issues that bit them in the behind WRT ipf. I am glad they are doing this as it will relieve alot of potential headaches for everybody. This project has gotten several packages relicensed to a more free license, so that is a net gain. This does not make it onto slashdot, though.
I don't believe that software is free unless you are free to do whatever you want with it. That is the bottom line, IMHO.

I agree that the family should receive something if this discovery ever makes money.
This case isn't as simple as the one you posited, where the money is in the bank (well, somebody's bank) even before the sample is obtained.
To make your analogy fit this case, it would be more like this:
The State Barber Association finds a problem w/ cutting certain types of hair and needs to find clippings to see why it is so difficult to cut this hair. Your barber looks through piles of hair and finds your hair matches. They study your hair and gain a better understanding of how to cut your type of hair. Now, maybe barbers make a little more money from people helped out by this technique as their haircuts come out much better than they did before. It would be very hard to prove how much money they got, though.
<tongue_in_cheek>
As far as your assertion that you own every cell that originated from your body, I forsee many more problems w/ this than the problems you suggest. Imagine one day your are fined for improper disposal of bodily material when your skin and hair fall off your body and contaminate offices, restaurants, chip fabrication plants, etc.. We need to pay people to clean up this mess or spend the time ourselves to clean this up. When you start paying your bills, then we'll talk about residuals.. </tongue_in_cheek>
Isn't downloading the Flash plugin an extra step. This hasn't stopped web pages from splattering it all over the place, and presumably hasn't stopped that great of a percentage of people from viewing it.
First and least, these orgs are not without their conflicts of interest. They are saying 'companies should not develop the technology to do e-voting, we need to study the probelm more. send money'.
More importantly, there is more than one way of doing things. Just because you throw 'network' into the equation doesn't mean it has to be a connection to a IIS 3.0 box w/ 56bit free for b*tt-wiping certs. It could just as easily be used to create a more decentralized voting system. Instead of picking one school in the district and making everyone go there, they can set several places to vote: schools, libraries, courthouses, whatever..
I would also suggest that it would be best in the long run (that is to make the long run shorter) if these systems were tested in the real world. These trials don't need to be binding and they don't even have to be done on elections of widespread importance. Even better, you can set some up in malls (or where ever kids hang out these days) and invite everyone to try to beat the system.
I wish I hadn't started to read that report. I don't have the time to read it all before going to work and there are so many maddening things about it. They try to poke holes in 'net voting' while pointing out that we can't even get the physical world right, but the method they used to get at these numbers make you wonder. For example, to talk about uncounted votes, they say that 2% of votes in 2000 did not count towards a presidential vote. Then they estimate that only 25% of that total did not intend to vote.. ? Then they mention that 5% did not record a senate or gubernatorial vote and try to blame most of this on disenfranchisement. Wouldn't you think that if there were problems w/ the voting machines, that these numbers would be more equal? Or maybe it just means we don't give a sh!t.
Hey anarchists, here is a way to screw w/ em.. Vote, but don't vote for anyone!!!
Not sure where you got $1300. It looks like $1100 to me. When you compare it to other similarly sized boxes w/ the same HP, it seems reasonable.
For $1300, you can bump the cpu up to a PIII 933, or add 128mb of ram and 10gb of disk...
Right tool for the right problem, maybe you just don't have a Cappuccino problem;P
I would suggest the difference is that I would not I want to speak my mind without acknowledging myself. I only want to have all my personal writings, medical records, legal records, etc to be broadcast when I walk down the street.

I apologize in advance for the pop-under ad.
Not to be mean, but I looked at that /. story and I still don't have a desire to go to that site.
/. doesn't mean it was /.'ed.

No, it would be more like opening a brothel in Amsterdam, taking orders from the US and shipping prostitutes to the US.

That is why sample size is important.
