The authentification will be done by a server chosen by the author.
Anyone can set up his own server or maybe use a thirdparty provider. And the authentification server will not see the documents themselves, but will receive a document hash and the public key of the reader.
I'm not sure whether access rights will be stored on the server or in the document header. The first variant would allow you to change permissions retroactively. But if you loose the data on the server, you'll be in trouble.
I don't have any special knowlwge about what MS is doing. But the described approach sound most sensible to me.
3. You can't perform a number of maneuvers, because the sail is in the way.
Such as? Duck dives and tube rides are all I can think of, oh and maybe some old longboard stuff like hanging 10 (hang 5s can be done no problem) or hand stands etc.
360s and stuff come to mind. I know you can do stuff like this on a windsurfer. But it should be pretty much impossible in the wave.
4. The first close-out will smash your sail to bits.
Modern rigs are a lot tougher than you think, never mind having a good chance of outrunning a close-out anyway.
Maybe. I haven't windsurfed for a decade. I haven't seen many photos of surfers hitting the lip there the way these guys do with a sail: http://www2.vo.lu/homepages/tonnar/photos.h tm
1. On a windsurfer, the wind pressure helps you balance. When a really big wave blocks the wind, it's close to impossible to balance with the additional sail.
2. The sail won't fit in a tube.
3. You can't perform a number of maneuvers, because the sail is in the way.
4. The first close-out will smash your sail to bits.
5. The sail is an incredibly dangerous piece of junk when the wave hits you the wrong way.
6. In some situations, the a sail can catapult you off the board. And I wouldn't want to be using a leash when this happens.
Windsurfing in waves can be fun. But we're talking about really big ones, where tow-in is necessary.
> Real surfers don't seem to go for this sort of junk.
I don't know about real surfers, but I think tow-in (via jetski) is not an exotic practice. In fact it is said that some spots can only be surfed via tow-in.
It is interesting to note that a whole city could simply pay the inquisitions to pass them by. This did prove that all the inhabitants were god fearing, and no further inspections were necessary. With a fresh wad of cash, the inquisition moved on to the next village. If the city didn't pay, a few citicens would be killed and their property got confiscated.
This became so profitable that it got totally out of hand. All kinds of rogue mercenaries terrorized the land, declaring to be inquisition parties.
Kid: It's done. Cool. Teacher: Yes. And It's already on the net. So you can't sell it. (smiles broadly) Kid: How can I find it? I got to tell my friends. Teacher: Well - I didn't put it on the net. But I could have. You see? Kid: So how do I put it on the web? I still want to show my mom and friends. Teacher: Well, it wouldn't make sense to put it on the web because you need a special program to view it. Kid: And where do I get this special program? Teacher: You can't. It's only licensed to schools.
If you activate this feature on a normal OS, you will basically just loose half of the horiz. resolution as soon as you turn 3D on.
But I think it's interesting that MacOS X uses, and Longhorn will use, 3D acceleration for their desktops. It should be relatively easy to extend the widget set with adequate depth buffer information and have it rendered in 3D.
(Although it's not too fast to draw directly into depth buffers.)
If SCO wants the Open Source community to take them seriously, they should publicly release the code which they claim to be in Linux...
Perhaps they can't reveal the code because they actually don't have it? SCO seems to assume that AIX and SunOS belong to them. Perhaps they don't even have the code? Perhaps the 'trade secrets' Darl is talking about aren't the trade secrets of SCO?
Be is totally broken. They do not have any money to pay lawyers. The bureau that fought the case for Be Inc did it for a percentage of what MS might have to pay.
So it's not actually Be Incs decision how to get most out of the case.
then the company claims that browsers such as Mozillia must also pay royalities?
This could lead to an interesting situation. Let's say Mozilla takes out anything that could be offending and puts it into an extension (like JPEG images). The extensions are only distributed to countries where the patent isn't registered.
It would soon become very apparent how much patents hamper progress. It could even lead to a situation where the majority of users illegally use infinging software.

No, no, no. You misunderstand. SCO UnixWare Ng will be an up to date, enteprise-worthy OS. They just need to wait for Linux 2.6 to get final before they can create it by ripping out all these misattributed copyright notices.
There currently are two companies growing artificial diamonds. Gemesis creates yellow diamonds with up to 3 carats. Apollo is growing clear, perfect ones, using vapor deposition. With time, they can basically grow them as large as you like.

The one that really kills me is when someone plugs in a PS2 mouse while the system is running
The one that really kills me is that there are people who design a system that can be destroyed by reattaching a mouse.
Berlusconi has long been claimed/suspected as being corrupt (although investigated, he hasn't been convicted), even using Italy's political standards.
But only because Berlusconi was able to rise above the law. Criminal cases can not even be investigated if his name shows up in them.

The Archos AV300 lets you record video directly. It's exactly what you're looking for.
It's not not cheap. But the quality of the screen and audio and video playback is excellent.

Yes. Creativity and lazyness reached a new height that led to the first powered surboard - in the late seventies.

You are aware that almost all internet protocols transfer a MIME-type with each file?
What I'd like to see:
1. Linux
You can access the JukeBox as a USB mass storage device under Linux.
2. Camera plugin
Available. 3.3 Megapixels
5. More disk space
There are the AV340 and the AV380 with 40 and 80 GB drives. Not sure about shipment status.
What makes you say it only works with Windows?
The device can be attached as a simple USB mass
storage device.
Even if it does not ship with extra software for
non-Windows systems, it's perfectly useable with
Linux and MacOS X.
then the company claims that browsers such as Mozillia must also pay royalities?

Patenting a stack would be like patenting the lever.
Laugh or cry - I just found out that the if statement was patented this year in Europe.
There currently are two companies growing artificial diamonds. Gemesis creates yellow diamonds with up to 3 carats. Apollo is growing clear, perfect ones, using vapor deposition. With time, they can basically grow them as large as you like.
You can read the details in a Wired article.
The European Patent Office has already granted ~30.000 patents on software, logic and the like, totally ignoring current law.
The majority of those software patents are trivial and overbroad. There are patents on tabs, progress bars and archiving emails.
Developing software will become an uncalculateable risk for smaller and even medium sized companies.
How far do you think computer sciences would have progressed if there existed patents on things like parametrisation of functions or on stacks?
