No, it's just another bit of anti-American propaganda that's been repeated enough that people believe it.
The US used to prevent EXPORT of good encryption and of software with hooks to support good encryption, but certain America-haters through ignorance or malice distorted the facts into the lie above.
If you want to see encryption regulations, look at what France or Russia has done (at least in the past, I don't know if either country still has domestic restrictions).
The British population would like to be able to develop close ties without giving up their own national sovereignty. Whether the EU allows that will determine how close the UK gets to the rest of western Europe.

Well, that's what VA gets for changing their names and business models repeatedly. I wouldn't put a dime into either company, SCO or VA. Neither seems to have any viable path or plan.
That won't work for many cases. They won't have anyone to sue because they'll only have a dynamic IP, not any name or address.
Don't think that ISPs are eager to add to their workloads and help, either: The RIAA has already been stopped in court by at least one ISP when it tried to get names from IP addresses.
1. StarOffice and OpenOffice are basically the same software.
2. Star got killed in the market.
3. After buying Star Sun gave up on turning StarOffice into a profitable product, instead releasing it under a free softare license. This goes against a trend set with Solaris and Java, so it's plain they saw no hope of competing with Microsoft at their own game.
Yes, Microsoft won the proprietary word processor market. They're the best at that game.
There's no law that says anyone who's not taking part in a trial has to turn off their brain, ignore blatant evidence, confessions, and what not, and pretend that criminals aren't guilty until they went to trial.
It's not financial cost; it's human cost that is the problem.
After the last shuttle disaster, no more shuttle missions will go up unless in-flight repairs can be made. A Hubble mission would now allow for that, so all Hubble missions have to be scrapped.

If the UK being close the US damages the UK relationship with the EU, then the EU members should stop lying and pretending they are US allies.
Existing protocols often have human weaknesses, though, that can allow keys to be compromised.
Preventing eavesdropping of even the ciphertext reduces the loss if the adversary gets a key.

I think Microsoft's success calls into doubt the market's aversion to closed platforms.
The RIAA tried that. Verizon resisted and won.

3.3.6pre1 works great here on the 5600. I was even able to make and install my own app for it using OE.
It's Sharp that should get its act together.
Some pretty strongly anti-Apple moderators we have today. I wasn't aware that being the basis of Mac OS XI was such a bad thing.
Gentoo is dying...
What with the forks and the founder quitting, it should be the basis of Mac OS XI in a few years.
OK, so they knew from the start that StarOffice was not going to win in the market.

2. Star got killed in the market.

Well the linked article refers to instability of pre-OS X Mac, so it's only fair if out-of-date Microsoft criticisms are dredged up.
Yes, we need more captial punishment.
Yes, end Daylight Savings Time!
How can it be a CFC without any Cl?
Patents and standards are opposing forces.
The point of a standard is to get everyone to use it.
The point of a patent is to grant a monopoly.
If you want everyone to use something, it's stupid to then claim a patent on it.
Wrong. The point of DRM is to prevent the adversary (the customer) from circumventing the copyright protection and distributing the work unprotected.
The iTunes crack does exactly that.
He also happens to be in the hospital. Maybe he'd take up the personal task of getting Savannah up to snuff if he were healthy.
I can't imagine he'd sacrifice his health for this, though. That just wouldn't make sense.
Did you read the words you quoted? "The decision.. was made by Bradely Kuhn and the system administrators."
What do Stallman's roots have to do with it? Do you expect him to wield supreme veto power over anything done by anyone at the FSF?
In court, you're not guilty until proven.
There's no law that says anyone who's not taking part in a trial has to turn off their brain, ignore blatant evidence, confessions, and what not, and pretend that criminals aren't guilty until they went to trial.
Republicans are courting Libertarians with what? Higher taxes in Virginia? Expanding Medicare in Washington? Borrowing billions in California?
