When I followed the link I saw a Google add for Scientology at the top of the webpage, how funny is that?

7a) make available on favorite filesharing network, OR
7b) if someone has already done 7a) Skip 1)-6) and get it the easy way.

If you're selling something that has virtually no value, it's all about convinience (bottled water analogy).

Yep, they did the same thing with Jebus.

Here are some alternative identification methods. I definately prefer the right-most one, since it wouldn't allow for my iris to be used for flashing commercials at me, like in Minority Report, and at the same time it would allow me to accurately convey my opinion about the Border Control.

It would be a boon if used for all products, e.g. cars, houses, pets, condoms, you name it...

Well then, if they suspect problems they should just give a warning when running in that configuration.

My bank sends me an e-mail that I have a new message, and I have to log on to my netbank to read it. That's a good way to do it, I think.

Yes! Why try to create an artificial scarcity when you have just advanced far enough technologically, that the scarcity (need for physical medium in this case) is removed? That's taking a huge step backwards.

Wouldn't it be great - like in the parent poster's example - if there weren't even scarcity on ordinary physical products? Isn't that where things are/should be going? (I know: you'll always need the energy to create the matter to create the products, but still...)

I'm all for privacy so don't get me wrong... But what is the point of having a criminal record system if the information is not easily available? A criminal record is a public thing, and it's relevant that a person can be matched to it.

I completely agree. I do this with my work e-mail.

However, lately I've considered setting up a bugzilla-server where each question is submitted as a bug assigned to the otherwise intended recipient, and set the nag-time to 1 day. My only worry is that it might seem a bit much. What's your take on this?

Try Linux Mint.

From their "About" page (originally from DistroWatch):
Linux Mint is one of the surprise packages of the past year. Originally launched as a variant of Ubuntu with integrated media codecs, it has now developed into one of the most user-friendly distributions on the market - complete with a custom desktop and menus, several unique configuration tools, a web-based package installation interface, and a number of different editions.

Only if you ignore diseases...

I see that now he's modded Funny which makes more sense!

OMG how can the parent be modded insightful? Are you drunk?!? :-D

If we can accelerate at one g (internal reference) all the way (changing thrust direction halfway), we pretty quickly get close to light speed, which means that we can travel many light years in only a few years (internal time).

Of course there're several obstacles (power, collisions, etc.), but it would make it possible to travel great distances within one's lifetime even at below light speed.
