Obviously you've never written commercial software that had to be supported across different platforms and databases. If you are writing an app that is for specific client for once specific project I agree you can (and should) do a lot of the heavy lifing on the DB side. But if you are writing an application for distribution, seperating your DB and code is essential, I've seen too many
if (Oracle) {
} else if (MSSQL){ } else if (Oracle7) { } else if (Sybase) { }
As a matter of fact I've taken several database classes and have done work with Database repositories and data movement.

I'm was working on a project where all of the work flow was handled on the DB side in stored procs instead of in EJBs. This made debugging a pain b/c you have to have a DBA do things out side of your normal build process and testing is harder because you have events happening outside of your control. If people would just learn to use DBs to store information and code to do the logic (sorry PL/SQL isn't gonna cut it) systems would be rolled out faster and with less bugs.
Its been pretty difficult as a recovering CD buying junkie for several years. For almost 2 years I haven't bought a major label CD b/c of all of their latest non-sense. Moby is on a label that is not owned by one of the big (and problem causing) labels.
Since the IM clients, as well as most other things you do at the office are so easy to monitor. I've always made it a personal policy not to discuss any thing over IM that I'd be embarassed to have to explain to a judge in court some day. And in case they were monitoring it I'd always add an "Hi Sysadmin, I know you are reading this" every once in while to my messages just to let them know I knew they were there;)
There is/was a company that was offering remote Linux desktop connectivity. From their site it looks like they might be dead. They solved a problem similar to what you are talking about. Allowing remote desktop connectivity via browser's with Java support and vnc.

That works until they one of several things. 1) Setup a firewall rule to drop encrypted packets. 2) Block access from the router to your home machine 3) Install VNC, pcanwhere, a key logger or some other software to watch what you are doing.
When my former employer said it was going to start watching the sites we went to I promised them the I would write an Outlook (ugh!) virus that would hit porn sites all day. The way I looked there were 3 possible outcomes. 1) They would get rid of Outlook and censor (not a total loss, Outlook would be gone) 2) They would start censoring and everyone would be guilty because of the virus. 3) They wouldn't do anything (which is what happened!)
...is to use an OS the encourages the use of Free software. Since I've been using Linux and FreeBSD at home I've never been tempted (or had the need) to find warez.
I wonder if this can be used to solve the mile issue? You basically have an LED that you focus on and one focused back at you. Essentialy a fiber optic network without the fiber.
I don't think it is splitting hairs. There is a big difference between the work the W3C does and the work done by standards bodies. I feel the work done by groups like IETF, is more binding because it is a STANDARD and NOT a recommendation.
What the networks and cable providers need to realize is that as technology changes so do they. I'm sure theater owners (the kind with _live_ actors) were up in arms when movie theaters started showing up.
Remember when VCRs became popular? It was supposed to be the death of movie theaters. I'm pretty sure they are still around and doing well I might add.
I have a suggestion for how the networks can still make money from their shows instead of commercials which are easy to pick out, sell more product placement in the shows, overlay 10 seconds of the show with the ad so that it will be far more difficult remove. Then buy some fat network pipes and some servers and encourage people to download the shows. While they are at it get into to the broadband business and make even more money! My guess is this will cost a lot less to maintain than the infastructure for tv, cable and satellite, and still a give them healthy revenue stream. Want to make even more money, follow the lead of Ximian and give access to the fast servers to people who pay extra for a subscribtion.
BTW If you are one of the major networks and you like this idea hire me, I even have ideas on how you can better track your viewers so you can really ding your advertisers! Just becareful if you don't hire I might just have to take you to court for stealing this idea.
I noticed the counter on the bottom of the guy's website. I think will be pretty cool to watch the number increase as the site gets slashdotted. It went up over 200 in the time it took me to read article and click reload.

Otherwise he'll be picking up whales (and soap)

Boycott Major label CDs.
You need quaters for laundry and vending machines
Stamps to pay bills
and if you are luck you'll need comdoms.
The ad on the top of the page was encouraging me to download Netscape 6.2
Does this mean if I watch a movie on Skinamax and forward to "the good parts" I'm stealing?
The big media industry needs to realize the they will have to place ads directly in the show so that they are incredibly difficult to remove.
Has anyone actually gotten this to work? I've never been able to get it to make working CD.
I wonder who copied whose code?

Looking at the storys that are posted today, with the exception of John Katz, who is always foolish ;) These stories all sound like pranks.

The W3C makes recommendations. If their recommendation is used by enough people it is a defacto standard, but it still isn't a W3C "Standard"

Does this constitue fair use or is the RIAA going to sue them?
I heard that the scientists were in trouble with the BSA, because the "mother" cat was clearly labeled with "Do not make illegal copies of this cat"
I also heard that the cat won't work until it's activation key has been received from Microsoft.
