We've had a success? <insert emoticon for ambiguous choice between irony 
or sarcasm>

Regarding the panel on "revolutionary" ideas, I am still intrigued that 
my "First Law of the Internet" is still considered by many to be either 
revolutionary or hyperbolic:

First Law of the Internet
http://www.cavebear.com/cbblog-archives/000059.html

+ Every person shall be free to use the Internet in any way
   that is privately beneficial without being publicly
   detrimental.

    - The burden of demonstrating public detriment shall
      be on those who wish to prevent the private use.

        - Such a demonstration shall require clear and
          convincing evidence of public detriment.

    - The public detriment must be of such degree and extent
      as to justify the suppression of the private activity.
