There is this new fangled intraweb thing, which not only lets small companies do business in other states, but all over the world. You should check it out sometime, I think it's gonna be big.
Here is a "Password Safe" compatible program that runs natively in linux. Nice if you don't want to use WINE, and want to share a Password Safe database with Windows machines.
I'm having a difficult time finding a "One Time Password" system for SSH on my RHEL (CentOS) boxes. Any idea if there are any applications readily available to accomplish this?
A friend of mine got hit up by the state (Wisconsin) a few years ago, for an online purchase (a watch) he had made a few years before. Turns out he didn't pay taxes on the item, and the state ended up forcing him to pay the taxes, plus fines and interest.
Imagine if spammers start encrypting their spam with the recipients own PGP key. It would be impossible for content based spam filters to classify the e-mail (pre decryption).
I suspect the lack of PGP adoption, the overhead of getting and maintaining the PGP keys, and the increase in time and system utilization of encrypting the messages would make this unlikely. It's a chilling thought none the less.
The companies have also agreed to comply with New York State's Abandoned Property Law, which requires that if an artist or his or her family cannot be found, unclaimed royalties be "escheated" or turned over to the state.
I didn't know you had to 'agree' with a law before it was applicable to you. Interesting.
So what your saying is "Crossing your fingers and hoping what you wrote will do what you had in mind" is not a valid coding method? Great, guess it's back to college for me!
Lets pretend for a second, that a referendum requesting permission to spend the surplus electric/water revenue on Network Infrastructure was brought to the citizens. Lets also pretend that the citizens voted the referendum up. In that situation, I can't see anything wrong with a city spending that surplus money, to provide a service the citizens obviously want 'they voted on it'.
In many cities, the cable companies and telcos have a 'mini-monopoly' on broadband (as well as other markets). I think a little competition from the city may keep these companies a bit more honest.
I understand that there is a possibility for the city to abuse it's power in the marketplace (it can levy rules and taxes on it's competitors). As long as the same rules that apply to commercial companies, concerning predatory business practice, are applied to the city, I don't understand what the problem is.
Lets face it; these lawsuits aren't filed because some concerned property owners feel like their property is being abused by these companies. Some lawyer or law firm saw a 'cash rich' industry and decided to figure out a way to sue them. And now, since AT&T caved once, it's open season on the telco companies.
Now I'm not saying that the property owners are in the right; nor am I saying the telco's are in the right. What I am saying is; "this was instigated by lawyers, for lawyers, and you can 'bet the farm' that if they could find some legal way of keeping all the money they were suing for (on your behalf) they would.
I'm currently participating in contract negotiations for a large (niche) software purchase. One of the terms we require to be included in the contract is; if the company goes out of business, we get the source code for all of the software we are licensing. If the company does not agree, we don't purchase the software. I suppose that some companies wouldn't agree to this kind of inclusion, but we generally take the hard line and refuse to purchase the product without it.

Don't fix it if it aint broken. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Etcetera...
Yes Lisa, two wrongs DO make a right.

With Microsoft getting into the anti-spyware buisness, I wonder how long many of the companies offering anti-spyware will last.
The page also includes a mini Howto.
Amen brother! Oddly I do not to run into many people who remember this mod. What a shame, it was truley the most fun mod I've played for a 3D shooter.
You can run VM's as a service in VMWare Workstaion, it just takes a little 'extra' effort. Have a look here for a nice 'howto'.

Better yet, sue Kevin Bacon!

The 'Vincent/Maul' charactor should have been a Wookie. That would have made for an interesting dialogue.
