All the while we're calling out to China for their censorship practices. It seems the western parts of this world are not all that much better, doesn't it?
I don't really care for the software on my desktop, as long as it works. Having said that, the only paid and closed source piece of software on my desktop is my IDE (being a developer and sysadmin).
However, on servers, serving public facing services I'll probably always use open source software. If I need a bug fixed or a new feature implemented I don't want to rely on external parties. Sure, there's tons of contracts that you could sign, but experience learns that eventually the vendor isn't able to supply, and you'll need to fix things yourself.
They won't. In the EU (not sure about other regions/countries), a judge (if a fine is contested) is to hold a pretty high bar when it comes to fines or penalties. There must be no doubt that the party is in breach before the fine can be validated.
If this law is to be in place for the next 20+ years it'd be pretty moronic if it laid out a very detailed set of technical measures a party is expected to take. Luckily there's lawyers who can interpet the law, and apply it to the situation they're assessing, all of its context included. If other lawyers (i.e. prosecution) disagree with their views, we have judges who can elaborate on the law, and tell how it should be interpreted in situations like those.
You're leaving out some of the considerations that are at play here. That is that you have a right to learn from your mistakes, move on. Also, they're not prohibiting publishing those facts, the intention is merely to make it less easily findable. The USA has a similar mechanism, namely sealed court records, etc.
According to the Dutch constitution Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands, although the parliament and the Dutch government have been situated in The Hague since 1588, along with the Supreme Court and the Council of State.[1][2]
Sure, they will be more safe.
Just like in the aviation industry, where each incident/crash is investigated meticulously, and flying has become safer ever since 1903. With non-selfdriving cars 99% of the incidents were caused by human error. Now no more, so we can fix it!
I wonder if the DEA transferred the money to own of its own accounts, or if they merely seized a drive that contained the wallet.
If the latter is the case, I wonder what will happen if there's a copy of that wallet, that now starts sending money. That'd be one hell of a way to accuse the DEA of fraud with seized goods...
Groklaw is actually wrong on the basic fact of certification. Google Apps for Government is not FISMA certified and google itself has stated it hopes to get the certification "updated soon"
Groklaw is right on this. Google Apps has been FISMA certified, and as such Google Apps for governments is too since it's the same platform. What they want to have updated is the explicit mention of 'google apps for govs' which is currently not in the certs.
The whole idea isn't new at all. I'ts been used for ages by US SWAT teams. They call it: a flash granate.
Putting it in an electronic device may be new, the idea behind it certainly isn't.
This is gonna be as interesting as Browser benchmarks are. Chrome, IE9, FF and Opera all win in their own benchmark. What does it mean to the enduser? Nothing.
There's DNSSEC, which more and more ISP's and registries support. Then, if someone managed to hijack a certificate he/she would also have to spoof google's IP.
You're absolutely right. What I meant however, was that lately twitter has been censoring more and more people, have been pushing ads everywhere, announced that they're not accepting new client apps, etc. Identi.ca is an alternative to twitter. Not an alternative of getting to the NYT.
Luckily there are alternatives like http://identi.ca/ . Great joy for developers (lots of api access), and it's distributed, so they cant pull stunts like the ones twitter has been doing lately. Also, it can sync with twitter so you only have to type all your microblogs just once.
I'd rather have some other rights first, like a freedom of speech without having domains seized etc, and a right to actually have an internet connection (France is taking away your connection after allegedly downloading something, and so will the US - it seems)...
Your first link dates from 2003, and therefore I cannot do anything but ignore it. Especially since you don't specify what part you're aiming at...
As to what your other link is concerned, Theo de Raadt usually knows what he's talking about, but, he also likes to troll anybody he doesn't like. His post basically says that he doesn't like implementing an arp alternative. His other point simply means it may be a bit more difficult if you assumed all socket addresses would only ever be to the power of 2. That's his fault (hate to break it to you, theo also isn't perfect), he was the one who made the assumptions. Lastly, the problems he describes are about how to implement them in Operating Systems. Since all major OS's now have ipv6 support, I cannot see that being relevant.
As for merely posting 2 links without any text: troll?

It will be for a long term. You're welcome.

It's not like BSD is getting a new firewall as well? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPF_(firewall)
What are 'the docs'? I've been using http://iptables.info/ recently, and it looks pretty complete to me? -F

I'm not aware of a Barnett's theory, so he still gets to think of his own theory - when he is old. When he's fifteen y/o perhaps?

With GPL you /impose/ it be free. With BSD you /allow/ for it to be free. Seems like an equal equation to me.

Someone tell me Mozilla did the same when IE9 was released.

It's not a bug... It's a feature!
Why not take the easy way, and buy Microsoft and apple?
