We have to make all the calls through a "filter" of sorts, it references "the list." We also had the ability to add people to the list, and were mandated to do so upon request. Our company faced stiff penalties for calling people on the list as well.
Bottom line:Tell the first telemarketer who calls you to add you to the list.
A quick side note: The bank of phone numbers my company would call could be sorted by name, age, race, income, marital status, and sexual preference. I recall a time when we payed another company $1100 for a list of gay people in Illinois. No kidding.
Just like any good idea. Open source just might be the right way to get the best product to the end user. If that proves to be true then nothing can stop it. Gallaleo was right, the Earth goes around the Sun, nothing could stop the idea. Of coarse this hinges on weather open source really is the best way. I do not have the answer to this.
I attempted to post an intelligent reply to another comment, and was stopped by the message "Please use fewer junk characters." Has this ever happened to you? What exactly is a "junk character," and HOW MANY DO WE GET???:)
The point is that you would be achieving this goal through the private sector, a major leap indeed for civilization. The exploration of space may turn from a government driven endeavor to an economic one. If there is money to be made then the means are a consequence of or capitalist system. Google is acting as a catalyst in this situation, providing an artificial economic incentive to speed things up.
So you really are posting from China? Do you think they would ever block slashdot? Also do you think that translation tools will bridge the language gap in the near future?
To receive a signal you have to measure something. That can be ones and zeros streaming from a wire or light scattering off a distant smoke signal. To make a measurement you have to collapse the wave function. Once the wave function is to more, you have no chance of sending anything else. So maybe we could send a single bit with a single entangled state. Perhaps the trick would be to get a whole lot of them. The fact that the universe is self consistent lends credibility to causality.

They appear to be taking a step in the right direction, until you take in to account that legislators go to the highest bidder... There is no question that M$ and Google have deep pockets and both company's lobby congress, its certainly no secret.
Heres the deal: In the early universe there was nothing more then a bunch of gas, and it was hot. Electrons sort of wandered around free of there nuclei, there were alot of ions floating around. A large scale magnetic field would have an effect on these charged particles, putting a force on them. The force leads to rotation along the field lines of the magnetism. We cant physically see the magnetic lines, but we observe their consequence in the large scale alignment of th galaxies. Keep in mind that most elegant theories dead wrong (circular orbits), and theres alot of bad science out there.

I'm happy to talk to a women, let alone discriminate against her.

I was astounded to find that you are right. Federal tax in Canada caps out at 29% http://www.taxtips.ca/fedtax.htm Where the United States caps out at 35%http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/article/0,,id=164272,00.html. One could probubly make an argument that the US federal rates are lower for low income, but there is no doubt that they are higher overall.
Sales tax may be a diffrent story however. The rates in Canada range from 6% in one province, to 13%-16.6% in all the others. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provincial_Sales_Tax I have never seen a US sales tax rate over 7% http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_the_United_States
In any event I thank you for pointing out the Federal rate difference.

1. Say something provocative and be sure to mention open source.
2. Post on slashdot.
3. Sneak in something insightful.
4. ???????
5. Profit!!!1
The Canadian Dollar is taxed much more then the American Dollar.
Socialism is great till you run out of other peoples money.
I thought your comment was very funny. I would mod it if I had the points.

How do they justify this to their share holders? Publicity?
Still this is great from the standpoint of progress. -50 evil points for google.
You can also download a whole season of a show with torrents.

Microsoft sues slashdot.
At the very end it says:

The soul of the new machines.
Not kidding.
There are 2 advantages to OO that mean anything.
1. Its free
2. Its open source
Does it surprise anyone that linux users go for it?
Havn't we seen this before?
"lock on to two different letters simultaneously about half the time."
...half the time, every time.
It is enough for us, but not for grandma.
I have seen radio telescopes linked in such a way to form a "larger" antenna. Is this similar?

Vincent Price's Orphan Powered Death Machine has zero emissions too; it does not exist.
Or does it..?
