That is the problem.. we NEED to get people caring..
We need to get people to realize that this is the tip of the iceberg..
Soon they will start regulating CD's.. 'You aren't using a player that is approved by the manufacturer of the CD, you can't play it - you also don't find this out until you've opened it and can't return it.'
The masses need to be educated that the corporations are running things and that they have no rights.. Its quickly heading this country to Hell..
It will soon be in God we trust, everyone else, here's the lube, bend over !
No.. This (and the DMCA/encryption schemes) is more analagous to you purchasing a car. And every time you need to unlock the car to use it, you have to call the dealership to unlock the doors on it. And you have no choice BUT to lock the doors as it is done automatically when you get out of the car. Or God forbid, you wanted to SHARE your car with your spouse or significant other....
I'm going to hire Moomies with their little sprogs out to install software for people. Since the sprogs aren't 18, no court can state they agreed to the licence/contract since all contract laws require you to be the age of consent...
THe DEC Command Langugage.. It is handy to have a scripting language thats sorta portable.. but I agree it might be better to use something more "common" like perl.
However, how much "space" does this take ? Is it multi megabytes like perl does ? If its a meg or so, then its going to be more possible to get it mainstream...
These are just SOME of the players. The Grids are ALL connected (through one another). ISO New England regularly sells/buys from New York and Onterio. NY sells/purchases from PJM, etc.
I have DSL through ChoiceOne Communications, a few months back my line stopped working (on a Friday afternoon). I called them, they couldn't get someone out until Monday (fine).. Monday their tech came out (around 3 in the afternoon) and determined that it was a line problem (Verizon) and filed a ticket with them. Tuesday Verizon came to my house and declared there was NO PROBLEM (there was NO SIGNAL on the line, they put a dialtone on it for testing). So Wednesday Verizon AND ChoiceOne AND I were at my house.. Verizon checked again and What do you know.. a Line problem (they broke the connection at the junction box when they did work Friday Afternoon).
So From one stupid act, I was out of commission for 5 days.
Verizon was totally useless, I didn't get an apology for the idiot who said there was no problem and closed their ticket out (While choice one who really weren't affected by this DID get an apology).
Granted 5 days doesn't suck anywhere near as bad as a month (although it DID take them 31 days to install my line for DSL)...
So.. If you are 12 and commit murder its OK because you don't know any better but JUST because you are 18 you do ?
People know right from wrong at an early age (hence the reason that kids learn to lie at an early age - to protect themselves from their wrong actions)
This has nothing to do with age and everthing to do with right or wrong. Murder is wrong no matter WHAT age you are.
Only in America could someone sue a tobacco company and win $3 billion while we sentence a 14 year old to
life imprisonment for a crime he committed when he was 12 years old.
Sorry.. by age of 12 you know right from wrong (you KNOW, or at least should know murder is wrong and illegal)... If you don't then YOUR PARENTS AND YOU should go to jail.. They should be sterilized and kept from having other children if they can't teach the BASIC of moral concepts to a child.
SO.. you have no problems with the police taking IR images of you and your significant other(s) having sex ? or of you bathing your child (CHILD PORN !!!?!?!)
But seriously, The police enforce the law.. If you break it, they arrest you. They CAN'T arrest you because you "MIGHT" break a law... They need probable cause to investigate that you HAVE Broken/are breaking the law (and they are suposed to prove it to a judge that they have enough probable cause to get the warrent - "We've found catalogues from green house companies and boxes from hydroponic equipment. We believe he's growing pot.")...

If they claim you violated some "policy" demand a copy of the policy. If they claim you violated something that was on a student agreement then
1) Demand a copy of the agreement
2) Was this agreement signed by you and by them ?
3) Were you 18 when you signed it ?
Do they HAVE any policy about student run sites (ownership/copyright/etc. ), then demand to see them.
You DO have some recourses. You SHOULD get a lawyer though as protection. You may be able to prove harassment by the school (maybe not)..

No.. They don't bury the high voltage lines (they may bury the 220V lines instead of having light poles).
They don't bury the other ones because of heat dissipation needs (High voltage lines can get REALLY hot in times of high system loads and you don't want the insulation melting underground causing a 220KV line to short directly to ground because that would be REALLY bad.)
Does Theo create a new project ANYTIME someone doesn't get along with him ?
He was part of NetBSD, what does he do ? He forks it and makes OpenBSD.
He doesn't like the SSH restrictions, so he starts a new project OpenSSH (Not that this is bad but he makes it OpenBSD centric so someone ELSE has to create patches for FreeBSD, Linux, etc.).. Someone else has the domain OpenSSH.org, so what does he do ? He sicks slashdot on them.
Now someone has software and won't suck up to him, he kicks their code out of OpenBSD and then someone registers openipf.org (for OpenBSD if you check the WhoIs)... Doesn't this seem a bit childish like the "I'm gonna take my marbles and play elsewhere" mentality ?
Umm... qmail is distributed as a binary package with FreeBSD 4.2 > now.. He realized the benefits of it. Big deal if it isn't GPL'd... There's more to life than GPL.
But if you do that it will take weeks ! and by then your witty comment will be totaly out of context (this giving them MORE reasons to monitor you - like you trust that all your NORMAL snail mail goes through the USPS, a branch of the federal govt.).
Hypothetical question: If you knew that the information gathered would never be used against you per se (unless you
were doing something illegal), would you still be opposed to Echelon? I mean, what if the government really just
used it for tracking terrorist activities, and you could be sure? It seems to me it would be no problem then. And I
don't see it being used for terribly bad things? Why does the NSA care what web sites I'm surfing? If the NSA is
after me, I have bigger problems than that...
Yes I do... They have shown that all they need to do is "alter" the meaning of the message by removing content. To the federal government you are guilty until they find someone else more guilty than you..
You should care about the sites you view.. If the government decides that sites explaining how to (within the constitution) replace the government are ILLEGAL (Sedition) and viewing/running that kind of site is punishible by death (Treason against the United States of American Businesses) THEN you'll worry.

Then someone needs to come up a good implemention of LDAP... Then let people register for free
You write them checks, and they balance THEIR budget ?
What could they POSSIBLY want that for ? Maybe to develop a list of people they could target for NuSphere support contracts/sales ?

There is ISO New England (http://www.iso-ne.com/) that does New England.
New York ISO http://www.nyiso.com for New England
PJM Interconnectionhttp://www.pjm.com/Who handles Penn/New Jersey/Maryland
Mid West ISO (http://www.midwestiso.org/ which does most of the Mid West.
And others (You can find them at http://www.iso-ne.com/industry_links/..

Unless someone at MS leaks an exploit that can be put onto web pages that enables it (like the one that enables the telnet daemon in MS 2000)/
