No, I'm not a troll. Nor do I have 50 karma to burn either. But somehow I just couldn't resist writing a slashdot filk on this.

Actually, this method is obvious to any person skilled in the field. In this case, it would not be an engineer but rather a 7-year old kid. Get several kids. Put them on swings. Ask them if they can go sideways without touching the ground.
Yeah!...and you forgot to mention, these heroineware-dealing corporations keep their employees addicted with rewards of equipment, money and status, to keep them playing. By playing the "work game", these unfortunate addicts build up their inventory and equipment, accumulating items such as cars, houses, furniture. These items allow them to "awe" their fellow players, thereby achieving a sort of social approval that they otherwise would not be able to get.
The organizers of "work-games" also set up "quests" and "meetings" in which players assemble and engage in social interaction, all within the context of furthering their game goals. The quest for magical items and treasure brings together individuals who otherwise might not have much social interaction.
Disney could bring the artwork up to date, giving the characters a more modern, American look and feel. Like they did with Winnie the Pooh and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Robin Williams could add some comic relief. It'd be great.
Your point that people exhibit "bounded rationality", which I believe is true, actually lends support to the validity of these modules. For example, most of us are aware of the world beyond our immediate neighbours. But it is possible that, because of the heuristics that ultimately govern our behaviour, most of us end up making decisions that are primarily based on what we observe among those immediate neighbours. Ironically, these models may help jolt some people out of their patterns and enable them to go beyond their bounded rationality. By becoming aware that you aren't really factoring in all the knowledge available to you, you may be motivated to do so.
The other good thing about this approach is that corporate customers, who are sensitive to warranties and need to cover their asses, will never overclock these processors. So, effectively, they can offer a bit of extra power as a sweetener, but only to techfreaks.
The argument that neighborhood LANs necessarily freeload on ISP's bandwidth is FUD. 802.11b can supply the last mile while ISP's can charge for access to a proxy server or gateway. From a free market standpoint, this situation would be desirable because many isp's would be able to offer competing gateways and proxies, with different prices and packages. Since 802.11b takes care of the last mile, you can mix and match nntp server, smtp server, etc.
The whole idea is wrong at a fundamental level. The problem lies in inadequate software. The proposed solution here is to throw legal wetware at security holes. The real answer is to educate users so that they can make intelligent choices about software use. As for legal liability, I think it should be left up to the contract: if an educated customer is willing to waive the right to sue Linus, he should be allowed to.

Well, wouldn't that mean the Koran is anti-christian as well? and the Dune books?

Just wanted to use that subject line...
Never mind the review board. I say: Just put in a clickthru agreement. This is cyberspace, after all.
Maybe the age of consent today should be raised to 32 then.
fp man yeaaaaaaa
hahaha
Yeah? LET's GO, eh?
The hockey gloves are coming off , now!
patents are only valid in the country where they are granted. Also foreign person can file for a US patent as easily as an American.

How about trying to stick a fish in your ear? I think I read about it in a book, and it was supposed to work...
...herbal drugs?

What other entertainment is there? I'm bored and want to be amused, without paying "them".
Does that mean we openly admit to being Soros fans?
*bangs head appreciatively*
Why does making software engineering more of an engineering science necessarily make it less of an art? Can't it be both? Shouldn't it?
heh, "crowbar made of lies" indeed. You should write a heavy metal song about that.
They want to look good now, get as much money as they can before they retire, and then leave.

I think I should point out, for the benefit of non-Canadian readers, that St. John's is in Newfoundland, the province that newfies come from.

And of course don't forget Peter Pan initiating an angeldust party with a bunch of kids in a bedroom.
