Um... no. Mailservers are public in terms of receiving, but not for sending, and that's what he did, send millions of mails from a server which he had no right to use.
The Europeans have, and it's quite successful, commercially. Germany is part of Europe. But that doesn't factor in here, since they bought the space tickets from Russia. Read the article, will you?
Couldn't an OS take a hardware inventory and mirror its ram to disk on shutdown, then at startup, if
the BIOS didn't report any changes to the hardware configuration, simply load the last memory image
and forget about have to go through the entire boot process?
Um, yes, it could. It can. It's called either ACPI S4 (Suspend to disk) (when it works) or "Bloody F*#%@#@ C{+#" (when it doesn't)...
Pot, kettle, black. There is one official, widely distributed kernel release, very little difference between that and a precompiled binary. That it's changing fast is a different topic, but for most applications, that's not even an issue, the libraries are what matters, and those are a lot less problem-prone than on Windows.
FHS is a major step in the right direction, but of course not the only necessary one. It's not inconceivable for the major distros to make a concerted effort exactly because the differences make it difficult to release 3rd party software for Linux.
The "way to manage this" would be RPM. Of course, it is defeated by the filesystem layout differences between some distros, but that's what FHS is supposed to eventually fix.
In Germany once, the public will was to cook up Jews in ovens.
Correction: the public will was to arrest those evil jewish-communist-capitalist conspirators who were plotting to destroy the German people, and send them somewhere where they wouldn't do any damage. Few cared about where that was and what happened to them there.
Privacy tools like this are only a last line of defense. Real freedom is impossible unless people are educated enough to resist propaganda like the above. Unfortunately, this can't be achieved through any amount of coding.
British Government: does not know that you're encrypting or even sending data you: happily keep doing what you were doing unless you give them a real reason to suspect you.
You might want to look up the meaning of "deniability".

It's unfortunately only logical. With modern technology, it becomes increasingly possible, almost simple for governments to monitor their citizens completely, every minute of their lives. The society described in 1984 is positively lax and free compared with what is possible (but too expensive to bother doing - yet) right now. It is only logical that the same technology would also be used to develop methods to counter this threat.
Correction: Ethernet won because it was cheaper at first and offered MUCH better performance after a while. Token Ring couldn't offer more than 32Mbps until about 2 years ago.
I'd suggest, you learn to type correctly, otherwise even clueless people will suspect that you don't have any actual knowledge and are just spewing a load of bullshit.
Definitely! Its innovative, result-oriented design signifies a paradigm change, making it the ideal investment for B2B-focussed players in the new economy!
Neither individuals nor corporations
have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned
back, for their private benefit. That is all.
Not quite. If the corporation's services are important to public benefit, then it might make sense to slow down the clock for them a bit so that they can adjust, rather than letting them go down and leave a large gaping hole.
I'm sorry, but phone service just isn't a basic human need, last time I
checked.
Check again. If you, e.g. need medical help urgently, you'll damn quickly realize that it's quite a basic thing. Hate to burst your bubble, but your "joe welfare" bullshit has nothing whatsoever to do with the real world. We're talking about a developing country here, not your illusions.
He also presumes that this alternative nameserver is causing the collision-that they are the bad guys.
Who made ICAAN god?
They sure as hell have better claims than anybody else; I seem to remember a vote of some sort...
Whether it's the alternate nameserver owners' fault would depend on how honest they were about their service. Did they tell their customers "this is our private service that has nothing to do with the rest of the internet and is likely to cause collisions in the future." ?
Unix was created at Bell, for sale, by people who at first did it more for sport than as work. The source was readily available, very cheaply for academic institutions. Those are the facts. What's your problem.
Define "Open Source definition":) And AFAIK, legal version of the source code were initially given to universities almost for free (the commercial source licenses cot an arm and a leg though) which was one reason why it spread so quickly.

This is an international space station. Meaning that NASA has not the last say.

I just know that the first mirror I checked did not have it...
Please look up the difference between "atom" and "molecule", will you?
Um, yes, it could. It can. It's called either ACPI S4 (Suspend to disk) (when it works) or "Bloody F*#%@#@ C{+#" (when it doesn't)...

Thanks for setting a bad example so that the rest of us can learn from you how not to behave.
Um, how about Unix? Basically, it was created by the open source community, though it wasn't called that back then.
