"It's really about enforcement. How on earth are we going to stop things like copycat kiosks springing up around the country?"
You're not. You are going to allow the production of recordable cds and either charge as if a wounded bull for the originals -- in effect the sheet music industry does this -- or you are going to set up licenced "copycat kiosks" where your customers can create music selections of their choice. If I was a recording industry executive I'd be jumping for joy because I no longer have to carry any manufacturing production costs whatsoever.
Your music retailer is now no longer a spacious shop with hundreds of boxes on shelves, but a small boutique establishment with a licence to copy, a fast Internet connection, a computer, and a bank of CD writers. All legal and above board. What's your problem? Providing a useful service perhaps?
There is no need to set up any new TLDs, becuse it is simply a doddle to run the webserver using a port number appropriate to its content. There is nothing 'sacred' about the number '80'. You only have to change the number 80 in line 96 in/etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf. Change the Listen parameter from 80 to whatever you want. This would allow the freedom of speech enthusiasts to say what ever they want to say and yet at the same time make it simple for those folk who do not want to hear that speech to eliminate it with ease. In effect this would allow for the creation of lots of WWWs. For Example:-
69 - SEXplicit Cunni-lingus Movies. ( Trivial File Transfer Protocol will have to be moved to 6969, drat! that's the orgy number. ) 80 - Innocuous censored stuff. 81 - Computer Cracking. 82 - Sex Education. 83 - Free Software Source Code. ( Like your new neighbours? ) 84 - SEXplicit Copulation Movies. 85 - Commercial Software Advocacy. 86 - Racial Supremacy Advocacy. 87 - Currently taken by ttylink. 88 - ditto kerberos. 89 - Artistic Nudes. ( High quality print ready.tif files only. )
Then there are also literally dozens of high number ports available if needed. Never happen of course, because of the huge financial interests of the network nannies, but it could create a new industry called the Net Content Classification Tribunal. The whole exercise could be run by the UN and suck up billions of dollars.
The sites which have been hosting the pre-race razz-a-matazz in the greatest of detail are all remarkably mute about what happened during the actual race.
Mistakes and errors are part of the human condition, but not learning from them is a real failure.
Anybody got some interesting and informative URLs?
As I mentioned
in December. Is it a possibility that Beagle-2 croaked during the Solar Flare event which happened during the journey? Serious question not answered earlier.
How about the Open University opening the software so that many eyes can see if we can find any bugs?
a new concept - teaching computer science through assembly language
What total rot! Donald Knuth was doing this about 30 years ago. His MIX is an ideal virtual machine carefully honed for its purpose. To teach Comp. Sci. via Assembly code.
First, I tell my friends that I know absolutely nothing about MS Windows, and cannot help them with that. If I'm feeling generous I offer a Knoppix test drive and then I offer to install Linux. I insist that they have a modem for remote access. To start with they don't get the root password. If they are going to use the internet I insist they get the satellite system to report their current IP number to me. A site vist deserves a meal.
What a pity that Clark Boyd, the tech journo who wrote the piece, failed mention that the
BBC uses Linux and
Apache to host its main news portal. If some above average technical writer would like to do a piece about the Net infrastructure at the BBC, I for one would be very interested to read it.
The value of SCO would be destroyed if a very large number of application code developers, code maintainers, and installers declared that they would have nothing to do with any SCO products. Getting the message out to the small investors and proprietors that the product was 'black' would pull the rug out from under Mr. Darl McBride and the rest of the associated SCOundrels. There is no point in dealing or trafficking in any product, software or otherwise, which is, in effect, unsupported, because nobody is going to buy it. Bye Bye SCO you've had your day in the sun. Somebody else's turn now.
... by using all these Web servers ( Alphabetic order ):-
AOL ServerThe Sophisticated One. ApacheThe One We All Know and Love. BoaThe Fastest One. WNThe Indexed One.
No more monocultures on our side of the fence now please. All these Web servers install perfectly, and each one has its own special features. Check them out and seriously consider switching!
They cannot claim to have been effective merely by a change in peer-to-peer traffic volumes. To demonstrate true effectiveness they have to demonstrate a statistically significant surge in CD sales.
I too smelled a rat and did not fill out their huge form with it's idiotic questions. However they did ask "What's missing from Linux"? ( or words to that effect ). So this is what I have found to be missing:-
Drivers. The support for many devices is just not there.
Modems. The support for cheap PCI modems is very spotty.
Scanners. Support for many scanners is very difficult to set up, or simply not there.
Recognition software.
There is no voice recognition software.
There is no optical character recognition software that works even vaguely properly.
User Interface inconsistency. Linux has so many differing keystroke sequencies to do the same things in applications which do similar things. e.g. Full screen display is: CTRL-L in Acrobat; Fkey-11 in Mozilla; and CTRL-SHIFT-F in Konqueror. This happens over and over, and drives new users nuts.
AFAIK There is no coloured picture printing to match the intrinsic quality offered by the printers themselves.
Other than those details I find Linux more than fulfills my needs.
It's jingoism pure and simple.
Sorry to have to say it, but from the UserLinux people's point of view KDE isn't made here, so it's not their first choice. Neither cost nor freedom matter one fig to business. To think that they do is pure self deception.
KDE folks: Get over it, if you can't join them, beat them; and kome up with a really KooLinux.
It's more than possible by taking an appropriate subset of the Gentoo distribution and adding basic accounting functions ready to go. Now write an ebuild file and install with:- emerge KooLinux
Now that would be a piece of cake. Granted it'll be time consuming to make, but it's far from rocket science, yet very VERY Kool.
... 'On the Internet' is not from viewing disgusting images, they might horrify or disturb you, but they cannot physically hurt or permanently corrupt your teenager. The real danger is being tempted to literally crack the bank. If you are sucessfully detected, that can land you, especially if you are within range of the TLAs of the USA, in to an extremely well secured future for many years.
I am horrified by how little the banking and financial industry seems to know about secure telecoms. Why do they rely on just a little self generated password when they should really issue every customer with a proper cryptographic certificate?
Yup, my 14 year old has free and unfettered internet access. Recently he blundered into a web site depicting animated images of naked people copulating like animals. He was offended and wanted to know how to find some more artistic and tasteful pictures. We Googled around for a bit together and found some really quite pleasing pictures of nude and semi nude girls.
You will do your children far more damage by throwing a hissy at them than they will receive from looking at a mere picture.
As soon as I see that headline I will be so happy because it will mean an end to the highjacking, i.e. theft by some US based crim^H^H^H^H entrepreneur, of the TLDs belonging to small and insignificant nation states. It will mean the end of getting spam from the spivs known as ICANN or an email stuff-up if one types an IP address uncorrectly. It will allow the creation of a fair way to make some new, sorely needed, TLD's. It will create a stable source of revenue for UNESCO and all the other UN agencies to do the good things they do so well.
I'm not too keen on having the UN administer content supervision though.

I'm not so much interested in the Desktop, but I am interested in the code which they produced with it.

First, let's search in the kernels.
d=/usr/src/linux-2.4.23
find $d -type f -exec grep -i ' sco ' {} \; | wc -l
88
d=/usr/src/linux-2.6.1-gentoo/
find $d -type f -exec grep -i ' sco ' {} \; | wc -l
77
And now for the include files.
d=/usr/include
find $d -type f -exec grep -i ' sco ' {} \; | wc -l
5
Looks as if we're getting better.
I wonder if they are bright enough see the joke?
find $d -type f -exec grep -i ' sco ' {} \; | tee /dev/tty | wc -l
Why? Norway is NOT a member of the European Union.
Click to see which countries are European Union Member States. Norway in the list?
For Americans that's Informative!

Automagic replay of the good bits would be even better!
Well, could Beagle2 have been fried in the same solar flare event which finally did in the Japanese probe?
Was it possible to test Beagle2 for this while it was still attached to the ESA's Mars Express?
I have not seen any remarks about this in the mainstream media.
