  I'll let the PP answer for himself, but mention that money can be seen as
  a trick and you can read more about that view in Robert Tressell's book
  The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropist, which is PD at Gutenberg;  and also
  that local exchange trading schemes exist, but would it make something
  any less a fee if someone can trade their work as payment?
 
 Well, I totally understand the concept of money and how it can be viewed in 
 various paradigms. Of course there have always been local exchange systems 
 and ad hoc trading, etc.
 
 But seriously, what real society actually exists today that has absolutely 
 no money? Does this same society have computers? Does this really a 
 self-contained society that really does not have money, or is this just a 
 small group inside another society who has decided to -- internally -- 
 pretend like they don't have money[1]? 
 
 I'm honestly curious, because to my knowledge there is no such society 
 existing on the Earth today. If I'm wrong, hey, maybe I'd like to sign up. 
 =)
 
 [1] For example, communes where people work and share together without any 
 fixed payment. But in reality, they have to sell their goods/services into 
 the real society around them to e.g. pay for property taxes  buy oil for 
 their windmills, get books to read, and upgrade their harddrives.

   Developer U.S. Army turns up a conference or two where Debian
   Developers and U.S. Army veterans shared the same stage,

Conventions of Aug. 12'th 1949 and their Protocols Additional of June
7'th 1977, and the confirmation of war declaration of Sept. 12'th 2001
under Art. 5 of the NATO Treaty (which bound all NATO members 
fully to the full 4 Geneva Conventions and its Protocols Additional and
their Annexes), specificly article 144 in the 4'th Geneva Convention:

and http://www.icrc.org/ihl.nsf/COM/380-600166?OpenDocument


  Irak by soldiers of various nations. The Geneva convention is more
  binding than any order given by an officer.

..factually and legally correct, for the specifics, I refer you all to
http://www.icrc.org/ihl.nsf/CONVPRES?OpenView

 Please, please, do not start this discussion *here*.  It is totally
 offtopic for Debian lists.

..agreed, except we _could_ re-use the text of the Conventions 
to build a translation engine for a few hundred languages.  ;o)


..I post this to avoid having anyone blame Debian curiosa for
subversion of the Geneva Conventions, so if removed, replace 
my post with similar content to facilitate dissemination of the
Conventions under art 144,  I mean, having the M$ shills go 
LINUX SUPPORTING WAR CRIME!!!, is _not_ what we 
want here.

 In fact, Nokia has done a lot of lobbying for software patents in

 I have somebody here that might be able to do the umbrella thing 
 discussed a few months ago.
 
 
 Apparently a big swirl is poassible and the price is not too high...
 
 
 I am negotiating with him at this moment...
 
 
 How many of you would still be interested?

  I'd happily throw some $$$ or h/w into the pot towards the required

 I guess it would save a lot of processing if only e-mails sent from 
 non-list members were processed for spam.  I can't imagine that
 spammers would sign up for, say, debian-user :-)
 
 The only thing that this policy would fall over on, would be if
 spammers start forging addresses belonging to valid list-members.

..old news.  New policy suggestions could be wipe all lists clean and
force every new list member to state which ip range he posts from, 
and ban all wintendos.

Last week I was at the Gecko, a nice bar in Paris, and around 11pm
 a guy came to our table and proposed to play a game of dice. No money
 involved, he was just there to talk about the Jack Daniel's brand
 while we were playing. The dice did not have numbers on them, but J,
 D and 's letters, as well as a few other fancy pictures, stars,
 and ... a Debian swirl! I had a Debian developer card in my wallet so
 we could check, and it was an exact black and white print of the
 swirl.
 
 Sadly the guy would not say who manufactured the dice, but since
 the table was full of geeks he probably learnt more about Debian than
 we learnt about whiskey :-)

..perhaps a polite letter to the bar, and the brewery, might help?  I
mean, we _all_ appreciate the importance of intellectual property? ;-)

 Here too.  Not sure when it became that way.  Way too many design
 decisions are based on cost in north america for cars, and not enough
 on safe sensible design.
 
  I always thought that to be mandatory in the US - that's one of
  the things regularly to be changed if you (re-)import cars from
  the US to Germany.  And yes, it _is_ insane.
 
 Many north american models have combined turn/brake, but many don't.
 Some models will change from one model year to another and then back
 for no apparent reason (other than their designers are either borred,
 stupid, or most likely both, or at least the people in charge of
 design choices are.)
 
 Now having seperate circuits and fuses for left and right sides of the
 cars lights, is not something I expect to see in north america anytime
 soon.  You burn out a fuse on a north american car, you should not
 expect to have any lights left on your car (and might loose the radio,
 wipers and a few otehr unrelated things at the same time.)  Of course
 guessing which of the many systems sharing the fuse is the cause is
 another fun job that comes later on. :)
 
  So, german cars are all unsafe.  Seatbelts are mandatory here.
 
 I hope they are mandetory everywhere by now.
 
  Huh?  I'm driving a (somewhat aged, by now ;-) Saab 900i, which has
  the engine in front.  Same with the newer 9^3 and 9^5 models.  Do
  they have completely different Saabs over there?
 
 The rear engined models are before the 900.  I think Saab 96 or
 something like that might have been one of them.  Not like that modern
 900 you have. :)

..AFAIK, SAAB has never made any rear wheel drive or engine vehicles 
other than the J21:  ;-)

 Well, for that you just need a bit of Gimp, with some sea of umbrellas
 picked up from google images.
 
 But we have debian developers that are dentists: it's not impossible
 that some other DDs could produce umbrellas :)

  As for the design, I think the coolest would be a solid black

  umbrella.
 
 I'd go with white rather than black... But more important would be to
 have tennis-ball-sized balls on the end of every spoke. When I'm among
 a crowd of people with umbrellas on I always wish I'd brought some
 safety goggles. Kinlethal things... Each tennis ball, of course, would
 have its own Debian swirl on it. And each panel of the brolly could
 have something written on it related to what makes Debian cool...
 apt-get, Free software,Stability, Security etc...

..ping-pong ball size will do, it may still give you a black eye, but it
is not gonna penetrate anyones eye balls.

..easily done, knife half way thru the pin-pong balls to slit them open,
then glue in a spoke socket, glue that onto spoke, and seal the ball
edges against the sail with silicon?
