This can be filed in the Really Dumb Idea bin. It would be so easy to make a server that always alters images/movies by a few random bits to defeat hash checks.
However, if the RIAA would pay me M$10, then I'll gladly make them yet another copyright infraction detection scheme...

One man's debt is another man's pension fund.
Most US debt is held by funds, so I tend to agree with Cheney. The fact is that money is only real when you want to buy bread and milk at 7-11. in truly huge amounts it is just a number in a computer and doesn't really matter.
The stock price of a public company doesn't affect their net worth. They got their capital when the stock was originally sold. What it trades for in the market later, doesn't affect them.
An absurdly low stock price does make them a take over target, but nobody has any money to do that now.
Funny - several formerly poor countries with exchange controls (South Africa, India, Indonesia), are now very relieved and richer than their formerly rich open market neighbours.
Probably the biggest and most annoying/disrupting power saving myth is Daylight Savings Time. Every year, the power companies announce that they don't notice any change whatsoever in power consumption.
"400 years". Africa has been 'exporting' its surplus people for millions of years. The colonial period was actually a golden age during which the Western world (all of whom originated from Africa) invested heavily back in Africa. When the colonial period stopped, the investment stopped and Africa went back to its roots of plunder and destruction.
Yup, what is more, a fibre cable already circumnavigates Africa and was paid for by the usual partners: South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt and Portugal. The sad fact is that most of Africa is unable to do anything with it.
Hmm, for a few bucks month you can run your own mail server. Citadel http://www.citadel.org/ installs in about 20 minutes and is zero maintenance. There is no easier email system on the planet and it Just Works (TM).

The advantage of cloud computing is that when it goes poof, your competitors have gone poof too...
DB2 never had a version 1, then went on to DB3 and DB4. DB4 was an unmitigated disaster and was the end of the line for it.

Well, Steve Balmer is wearing his best straight jacket...

You got the 'all lower case' right, but what is up with all the punctuation?
Funny - several formerly poor countries with exchange controls (South Africa, India, Indonesia), are now very relieved and richer than their formerly rich open market neighbours.
Or in 200 years, 2000 years, 2 million years? DRM like that is simply ridiculous.
You could hide your pictures inside some porn downloaded off the internet...

A copyright Czar can only be good for the GPL and Free software.
The workaround is to always work with a larger image than you need then once the font work is done, scale it smaller.
VCRs introduced time shifting and advert skipping a helluvalongtimeago already. Tivo may have made it a little more convenient, that's all.

Not exactly what you want, but Opendocman works very well for document sharing and control: http://www.opendocman.com/

Oh, man, you just made me snort my Coke. I'll use that story at the next SDR where someone asks about the GPL!
I know many examples that use Linux - it is my job. I also know many projects that are over budget and under performing that use VxWorks.
DoD and DND has been using Linux for many years. Nuff sed.
Oooh, we have one language here alright. It is called English-Spanish-French-Mandarin-Cantonese...
Hmm, it looks like more turd polishing and the problem is that underneath it is still Vista. As far as desktops go, I prefer KDE.
So Mars was conked upside the head and now it's cap is skew? Mars is now probably a little slow too...
