		This law says that up to (The economic condition when everyone who wishes to work at the going wage-rate for their type of labor is employed) full employment output, "demand creates its own supply," i.e., that an increase in aggregate demand induces business to produce more output, with few price increases.

	Linus's law - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Linus's law, named after Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, states that "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow".
		Some studies have contested Linus's Law, citing the relatively small number of contributions made to open-source projects by "outside" people — that is, people not belonging to a small core group of developers [1] (http://www.developer.com/tech/article.php/983621).
		More formally: "Given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix obvious to someone." The rule was formulated and named by Eric S. Raymond in his essay The Cathedral and the Bazaar.

		As brilliant a hacker as he is, it was Linuss ability to convey his ideas in written English via email and mailing lists that made Linux attract a worldwide brigade of volunteers.
		Software defenses are improving rapidly, but law enforcement and security companies understand they can no longer rely on technology alone to deal with the plague of virus attacks, computer break-ins, and online scams.
		I believe that the law is too unsettled to result in successful negotiation at this time.

	Slashdot Linus Explains Linux Trademark Issues
		It's annoying and time-consuming, but if Linus ever lost the trademark and with it his ability to veto uses of it, he would be sorry he hadn't (probably every time he heard it used for something he wished it wasn't).
		Second, will Linus' attempt to defend his trademark ultimately prove futile as more and more sites/companies/people start using the word Linux- I'm assuming that there is a strong possibility that the illegitimate use of the trademark Linux will outstrip Linus' ability to control it.

	William Francis Giauque, May 12, 1895—March 28, 1982 By Kenneth S. Pitzer and David A. Shirley Biographical Memoirs
		WILLIAM FRANCIS GIAUQUE is remembered particularly for his discovery of adiabatic demagnetization as a means to reach very low temperatures as well as for his exhaustive and meticulous thermodynamic studies, over a lifetime of research, which utilized the third law of thermodynamics while also developing a large body of evidence for its validity.
		His legacy is that of one of the later major figures in the development of chemical thermodynamics, specifically regarding the influence of atomic and molecular structure on entropy and the third law of thermodynamics.
		Giauque expected a molecular rotation degree of freedom, while Linus Pauling proposed a tetrahedral structure for the oxygen atoms, connected by random hydrogen bonds, leading to a residual entropy S = Rln3/2.

		Bacon had known about the inadequacies of demotic reasoning since his earliest studies of law, as illustrated by an episode involving Justice Coke and King James I. James was a learned King and believed he could exercise his personal rule throughout the government.
