The USA Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has proposed that airlines cruise lines, and operators of all other ships and planes -- including charter flights, air taxis, fishing vessels, etc. -- be required to get individual permission ("clearance") from the DHS for each passenger on all flights or ocean voyages to, from, or via the USA. Unless the answer is "Yes" -- if the answer is "no" or "maybe", or if the DHS doesn't answer at all -- the airline wouldn't be allowed to give you a boarding pass, or let you or your luggage on the plane.
It doesn't specify humans. Some of us consider killing all animals to be murder. But where to I draw my line ? Bacteria, a wild dog attacking me, a mosquito ?
Specificity for such things is always hard to pin down.
Here the state tries to define rave music in order to outlaw it
63.--(1) This section applies to a gathering on land in the open air of 100 or more persons (whether or not trespassers) at which amplified music is played during the night (with or without intermissions) and is such as, by reason of its loudness and duration and the time at which it is played, is likely to cause serious distress to the inhabitants of the locality; and for this purpose--
(a) such a gathering continues during intermissions in the music and, where the gathering extends over several days, throughout the period during which amplified music is played at night (with or without intermissions); and
(b) "music" includes sounds wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats.
To be fair it's not Linux's fault, they guy probably runs a GUI and the GUI automounts his cd
Rememeber the fun of pressing eject on Windows and giving someone their CD back and then try and persuade the resulting Windows Bluescreen that you don't care that the "volume has changed" and that you can't "insert CD to continue".
If Spamhaus are so British, why do they give their prices in US Dollars :
"Prices are quoted for convenience in US Dollars. UK/European VAT Residents need to add UK VAT at 17.5%. Data Feed is a service supplied and maintained by an independent contractor licensed by The Spamhaus Project to sell and provide access by subscription to Spamhaus DNSBL data."
I live in Nottingham and I've not encountered or heard of the scheme until this news story so the chance to protest it has been zero. And I work in a bulding with a bar that's open until 2am.
The frontline for protest will now be manned by burly doormen who aren't know for their intracacies of political debate.
It ight work in Yeovil, but Nottingham has one of the most violent crimes per capita figure in the country which might tell you something about the inhabitants. The coppers even suggested at one time that thew whole city centre be fenced off and in the evenings entry only permitted via turnstile!
It's a massive intrusion. We already have Pub Watch and photographs of regular offenders are distributed around pubs and bars.
I can't believe how anyone would come up with such a scheme and be convinved it's not an horrendous intrusion. If it is even here in Notts, I'm going to spread the word and see what can be done, sadly it's hard to do retroactively without direct action and that looks a dangerous path with badged thugs running the show.

A good way to look dumb is to use "then" rather than "than".
Hmm, "Which gun would I like to be shot with?" interesting choice.

How did they make any money when keygens are easier to find than Romanian copies ?
And to add some weight to thank, Penn & Teller are good friends with Rob Pike and some of the guys from Bell Labs.
Rob even appeared on Letterman with them one time.
Postgresql is BSD licensed.
:)
Most of the Licenses that xorg is released under are based on the MIT, X Consortium, or BSD (original and revised) licenses.
bash & grep are rips offs of BSD software
Mysql is multi licensed, including a FLOSS exception for BSD (and other) compatibility
That just leaves you mplayer.
nice try though

Oh I agree entirely, the NT I/O manager works against the user.
Except that the current Xbox has an IBM designed PowerPC CPU, though I guess dropping thr ATI GPU would be shafting AMD
> alt+tab to winamp or MPC etc, then just use the scroll wheel for changing the volume, then alt+tab back.
besides, I don't run a GUI mp3 player
I type "dfm" to listen to http://dfm.nu/ or "mp3" to play all my mp3s in shuffle mode
% mixer 40
so much quicker

If you like remote filesystems as part of your namespace, have you looked at plan9?
We've had sshfs for 15 years

Increased supply of workers will make wages rise. Which school of economics did you go to ?
If I knew what a "perogative" was, I might have one.
Steam tracks the uris I vist in my web browser ?
