Wikileaks has applied for a newspaper-registration in Sweden. That mean that Wikileak will get additional protection and treatment like any newspaper here in sweden.
Why Sweden you ask ? Well Wikileak are partly hosted in Sweden and one Swedish political party - the Pirate party has said they are willing to give Wikileaks internet access.
The Pirate Party is probably the only political party in the world with their own AS number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_(Internet) thus they are one of the networks that are connected to other networks that all together form the Internet.
Why do you think the methods would be unavailable to 'other doctors or hospitals?' The patent holders would want to maximize revenue by making the methods available to as many licensees as possible.
Licensing to as many as possoble may very vell be less profitable then licensing to a few who can pay really good. Thats why 7 miljon people in Africa don't get the medicine against AIDS that they need - they can't afford it.
The pharmaceuticals are making more money selling the AIDS medicine to those that can pay a high price then letting lots of people that really need it get it for a price they all can afford.
So no, its often more profitable to sell a medicine to a select few and let the rest die.
The technical term is the supply and demand curve in micro economics. (google it)
No no no - you don't understand. Logic has nothing to do with this.
Fighting child porn is pure gut reaction. It has nothing to do with logic.
The reason for having the filters is not to protect the children but to get in place a filter that can be used to filter other things - which come later when poeple have accepted the child porn filter. Other sites can then include hate speach, traficking, drug, illegal sites like file sharing sites and any site that like to any of the above...
For example many of the sites in the swedish child porn list of blocked sites is residing in the USA. The swedish EU commissioner complained that the countries which host child porn sites refuses to take them down:
"Also, according to worrying information provided by Commissioner Malmström's office at her blog, "A check of the internet by hotlines in 35 countries recently found 144 web sites in the USA, Russia, Ukraine and other countries. One year later, a majority of the sites were still operating." http://ceciliamalmstrom.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/ett-slag-for-barnens-rattigheter/#comment-589"
DOS was originally just a bought CP/M clone called Quick and Dirty OS.
This has become Microsofts SOP - steal borrow or buy someone elses innovations and then sell it too the masses. Microsoft is good at selling but not as good as creating good technical products.
Strange since that is just what scientist has been doing since the beginning of time. Studying earth to find the facts. You just has to observe the earth to see what is happning.
Thats not a problem. There are countries with higher standard of living then the USA which accept the findings and also do something to fix it.
Given that countries can have a higher standard of living with a lot less carbon footprint shows that it should not be a problem for the USA to fix that too.
So the big problem are all climate deniers who cant accept the facts.
Just because a browser becomes a target doesn't make it more in-secure. Security is a result of how the development process. A good development process will ensure good quality products.
MSIE has a very bad history concerning security. So as long as Microsoft continues in its old habits of development it will continue to deliver products with mediocre security.
I remember when Gartner suggested that people stop using it several years ago. Sadly still people use it.
Given the fact of it's bad support for webb standards I am puzzled why people still use it. Hopefully this scare will help to lower the number of people forced to use MSIE.
Sir, I salute you for saying the unthinkable. No one has ever been so brave.
But I doubt people would accept too stop emissions of all CO2.
None but you dare to suggest stop producing gasoline to driving cars to stop burning coal so that keep our houses warm. Too many are dependent on those cars, too many need the warm houses so they not freeze to death in the winter.
But as you said the only way to win is to not play the game of polluting the atmosphere with CO2.
France Hadopi laws - the 3 strikes law - are not conforming to the new legislation from EU so they have to be changed. Citizens can no longer be accused 3 times and see their connection cut. Instead they will, when they are accused, have a chance to be heard in a fair and presumed innocent until otherwise proven hearing where they have the right to be heard.
The provisions will not prevent everyones Internet connection to be cut - but it prevent people from getting it cut without a fair hearing. France have to change their Hadopi law to conform to this new requirements from EU that the Pirate Party helped to enact.
Yes you are. You might not like it but slashdot is an internet phenom and as such many different persons from many different countries post here. So you really need to take that into consideration when doing character asassinations.
There are over 2000 domains with "bank" as part of their name in the.se-domain - most of them are not banks in the traditional we-take-care-of-your-money banks. One example is platsbanken.se which is the national goverment register of open jobb.
And strangely enough some of the real big banks don't use bank in their domain name.
I know from several involded in the NIC.SE they dont like this at all and intend to fight it. Actually this is something that has been pushed by the banks for several years but became more prominent because of well-published fishing-scams against the banks - which actually managed to steal some money. The 'fun' part is that the fishing attempts didn't use.se domain names but domain names in other TLDs.
Tracing who created an.SE domain is easier then for other TLD so we probably will never see anyone trying to use the.SE TLD for fishing scams against the banks. So PTS - the national post and telphone goverment overseer - are pushing an agenda that won't really had help against the fishing attempts.
So this is nothing that are decided - yet. It will be a battle between PTS and NIC.SE over who decide over domain names.
Actually the cost of application for a patent is the cheap part - the more expensive part is the cost for the patent lawyer to write up the patent in legalese.
CPU power doubles about every 18 months (Moores Law) so every 3 years a new computor can decrypt 2 bits more in the same time frame.
Thus to get it down to 80 bits from 119 it will take 39 bits divided by 2 times 3 or in about 60 years the AES will become breakable.
However given that Moores law is starting to get hard to continue with - it might take smore time than that. By that time the new crypto standard will probably use 1024 bits to be safe.
Well Apple is not a murderer - they have not abused any monopoly. Apple are just a concerned citizien with a gun for protection and since Apple have not killed anyone with it - its Ok for Apple to own a handgun.
It's a huge different between a convicted criminal and a normal citizen.

First line of defence there is no warming
Second line of defence the warming is not manmade
Third line of defence I didnt cause the warning so I wont change my way.
Fourth line of defence come closer or I blow your head off.
Fifth line of defence praying will save the world - all stop working and pray with me.
Welcome to the second line.

So yes according to EU; USA is the biggest culprit in spreading child porn.

Its getting a lot warmer - on average.

Its just IE6 all over again.
People wants to use that whizzling Active/X and now ASP.
They are fooling themselves once more.
Actually Google don't have sole rights - you can have the same rights if you want.
AFAIK Googles deal is non-exclusive so you can get the exactly same deal.

Implemented correctly it will load anyway - it won't let you see the part that requires the extention though.

There is a big difference if you still have your brain functions intakt or if they rapidly decay so you no longer are yourself but just a body.
Oh its you Mr "Microsoft's chief Washington lobbyist" astroturfing the slashdot crowd.
You forget one thing Google's "Don't be evil". I think you find that Google are much less concerned with Microsoft then Microsoft is about Google.

You are confusing an normal standard with an open standard. An open standard can be implemented by anyone without any restrictions.
A standard imbuded with RAND is never open. It might be a industrial standard but it's not an open standard.
Given that the new theory lowers the time to break it with about 99.7% if it before took 1 million years it now only takes 3000 years.
Remember for everý less bit it takes to decrypt - it halves the time it takes to break a cipher.
CPU power doubles about every 18 months (Moores Law) so every 3 years a new computor can decrypt 2 bits more in the same time frame.
Thus to get it down to 80 bits from 119 it will take 39 bits divided by 2 times 3 or in about 60 years the AES will become breakable.
