Yes, that would be a feat indeed. The question was based on my own
experience at work.

I'm forced to use Windows, but to keep my sanity I have a second box
running Ubuntu. I access the Ubuntu box using (Free)NX even though it's
located only centimeters from my feet, just to keep from having a third
monitor on my desk. I've noticed that inserting USB sticks or CDs while
connected via NX doesn't result in gnome-volume manager automatically
mounting them. However, if I connect a keyboard and monitor to the
Ubuntu machine then gnome-volume manager does perform its magic.

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

Child pornography -- I never heard of it as a problem five years ago,
but now it's brought up constantly. I think it's the new Red-baiting.
The people in Burma don't understand how it is that we are focusing
our whole crypto policy on catching child pornographers. If you think
that cryptography is good for society you have to apologize and say
that you are against child pornography...  The fact that I even have
to say that is an indication of how effective this Red-baiting is... I
think that we can't let our civil liberties for the society at large
be determined by government policy towards a tiny segment of the
criminal population.
