I'm happy that deleting all that spam in the morning isn't a felony (yet).
If some sorry-ass site forces you to see his nasty pop-ups, take your business elsewhere. Maybe we needs some code in Mozilla to filter all these sites to begin with. Don't forget: All information will eventually be available in a respectable way. (As long as demand is high enough.)
If Mozilla supported regex blocking we could block flash with a simple rule for some or all sites. Hell, we could block whatever we think we need to block. This would be my number 1 (privacy) feature request.
I'm quite proud that I switched from IE on Win & Mac to Mozilla on Win, Max & Linux. It's privacy management concerning cookies is far better than the impossible hassle you come against with IE.
However it would be nice to have logging of which cookies are actually used during a browsing session so you can keep track of who's tracking you. Maybe this is possible and/or exists in other browsers?
A lot of information is to be found at the First African In Space website. The are also a lot of pre-launch images in their photo gallery as well as more info on Thawte's founder Mark Shuttleworth.
The accessibility of distributed resources carried with it the need for an information service (either centralized or distributed) that enables users to learn about those resources. This was recognized at the PI [ed. Primary Instigators] meeting in Michigan in the spring of 1967. At the time, Doug Engelbart and his group at the Stanford Research Institute were already involved in research and development to provide a computer-based facility to augment human interaction. Thus, it was decided that Stanford Research Institute would be a suitable place for a "Network Information Center" (NIC) to be established for the ARPANET. With the beginning of implementation of the network in 1969, construction also began on the NIC at SRI."
The Stanford Research Institute's Network Information Center (SRI-NIC) became the responsible authority for maintaining unique host names for the Internet. The SRI-NIC maintained a single file, called hosts.txt, and sites would continuously update SRI-NIC with their host name to IP address mappings to add to, delete from, or change in the file.
This was the first semi-distributed name resolution on the Internet. You all understand that eventually the hosts file became too big and led to the development of BIND (DNS Service).
It's seems that the court case was initiated by some XS4ALL users (spam victims) in co-operation with the ISP.
The sentence translates to:
The sentencing judge:
Prohibits AB.FAB from sending commercial e-mail messages (or have them sent), in their name or in the name of third parties, to (e-mail addresses of) users and/or customers and/or members of XS4ALL. Otherwise a penality of 50,- per e-mail message, with a maximum of 2.500.000 (two and a half million euro), where user and/or customer and/or member of XS4ALL is at least:
everyone who holds an e-mail address ending in a domainname containing the word XS4ALL, explicitely inluding domainnames: XS4ALL.NL, XS4ALL.com, XS4ALL.net, XS4ALL.org, XS4ALL.co.uk, XS4ALL.be, and the domainnname hacktic.nl.
Refuses the provision asked by the XXXXX c.s. (the spam victims)
Compensates the costs of trial so, every party pays it's own costs.
Everything we do is either run, controled, engineered by our governments. DNS used to be run be voluteers, later by the big ISP's. Wouldn't companies/organisations like AlterNIC have more followers when people's freedom was on the line (ie: when DNS was run/dictated by governments).
Without a independent body, is there no fear of dividing the Internet up in the end? Will all countries still be reachable (through DNS)? or only those we (US) like. Will Europe have it's.eu finally? Will it be supported only in Europe?
It supports multiple inheritance through interfaces. You could even call it multiple interfacing (but it's kinda logical you can implement more than one interface, isn't it).
Implementing an interface is like inheriting from a pure virtual class, no? More or less... (without requiring object construction)
And you would know I can filter that out also:-)

Changing to P2P will only make sense when everyone becomes a contributor to the web. But that's not the case now, and will probably not be the case in the future. Distributed content environments (like the icq personal frontpage, or how do they call it) are/always will be less reliable (uptime, virus free, etc...) than centralised and well maintained servers.
Though I get your general point, 'Linux' wants nothing.
There is a small mistake in your statement: Linux wants more users! There are two ways of creating market share: "evangelize and no compromise" (ie: RMS) or "integrate and migrate" (ie: MdI).
...or should look like the product MS copied it from...
However I'm firmly against this brainless copying and re-implementing of prior art, you might consider mimicking a competetive product to ease migration for existing users towards your product. I'm not sure however if this is/was Redmond Linux' drive.
Since when is it about copying stuff? Nowadays it seems that re-implementing others' ideas is the way to go. Ximian didn't invent Evolution, it copied the Outlook (sole decent MS product, hmm, maybe not) application..NET Framework isn't a Miguel original. It's an MS invention! Where did all creativity go? Can we still come up with new things?
In the end, and what was expected since several years, is that most of us will -by default- deny all mail messages arriving in our INBOX. Maybe a system such as ICQ, requesting authorization, might be put in place. I saw a friend using Hotmail, and I believe there is already a feature to only allow people in you addressbook to send you e-mail (except MS).
I'm active on the Internet since 1995. Never have I received this many SPAM as now. During the last couple of months both my personal and corporate e-mail addresses (my corporate e-mail address even more than the others) are no longer usable anymore without the traditional morning cleaning. I expect to received each night over 20 SPAM messages. This amount doubles during the day.
When some unfortunate unemployed guy would send me an non-personal e-mail requesting a job I would probably return him te same answer. People have to know that they will never be hired by sending such a standard letter to companies. You have to be unique and stand out of the crowd to be noticed. sending the message over and over again doesn't help you in searching a new position.
But it's maybe not the best thing for this company to send out angry mails everytime they receive SPAM.
Two reason:
1) If it's a spammer, they now know that you are a live person, not a bogus address.
2) You can hurt people by accusing them of being a spammer. The case above proves this.
Conclusion:
1) Write very case specific letters to request employment.
2) Do not accuse people of spamming before you knwo what you are actually doing.

Due to the fact that I went at night and the movie wasn't the biggest hit here in Belgium, I sat down in the movie theater amongst 4 other brave beings to see Event Horizon.

I wonder if these smart phones will get mainstream or if they always ill be the tech kid's gadget. Take the nice Sony VAIO's for instance: nice machines, but too small to really "use". Will you read your e-mail on a smart phone? Do you get your mail subjects on your regular cell phone right now? Better question even: Do you want to?
Wolfenstein 3D & Spear of Destiny were the first games I ever played which could really hold me out of bed at night. Those were the days! If I'm not mistaken Wolf3D was the first big hit from idSoftware.
I still have the game ready-to-run on my 80486DX2. As long as those machines keep running, I'll have the software. My kid sister is now still playing those games. She doesn't play Quake or Half-Life, she's playing Spear of Destiny. Soon she will move on to Doom. You'll see... These games never die, they only age:-)
Over the last year(s) MP3 has become more than just a music format. MP3 is a noun over here (Belgium/Europe). Everyone is talking about their MP3's, not about their CD's or their Tapes anymore.
Do you have that new song by... Sure, I got the MP3!
In my opinion it will take a while before people wil want to make the change. Not all people care for patent free formats and free software.
Not all people know about GNU, Linux, Ogg Vorbis, etc... either! Most people don't even know Netscape: Windows gets you on the net. Windows plays your MP3's, Windows...

A quick overview for my company is as follows:

Now: 0 admin, 1 admin/manager, 200 workstations/servers
2003: 0 admin, 0 admin/manager, 200 workstations/servers

I was a developer in the smartcard field before. A few good places for Linux smartcard resources were: Movement for the Use of Smart Cards in a Linux Environment and the CT-API for Linux pages.
A lot of information is to be found at the First African In Space website. The are also a lot of pre-launch images in their photo gallery as well as more info on Thawte's founder Mark Shuttleworth.
Doesn't matter, there were some good comments in this thread about the matter:
