Uhm, we already have copied your internet (you don't think we borrowed all the equipment from you, do you?). We then connected all our internets together and called the joint creation the Internet.
You (U.S.A) don't run the Internet, you don't decide the rules, and you don't own it. You share all those responsibilities with all the other users.
This isn't about everyone else in the world ganging up to steal something from the U.S., it's about governments trying to define common rules and approaches for the Internet.
Trilateration depends on the density of cells in the area. In urban areas you will be locatable to within 10's of metres as many cells can be compared, but in countryside areas your position may be known only to within 10's of kilometres.
ps the technique is called 'trilateration', because you're measuring distances, not angles.
The implication here is that if you libel any member of the **AA, any email communication from their lawyers WOULD count as spam, and would open them up to prosecution!
Actually the only mention of "shall make no law" in the US constitution is in the first amendment which says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
Congress is still allowed to make lots of laws; the first amendment just limits the scope of laws affecting free speech issues
As you might guess, I've looked in to this a little. I've been interested in this for my future children and for my Canadian wife. I emmigrated from the UK at 21 and have thought of moving back to find out what it's really like to live there as an adult.
Odd that - I've just started looking at moving the other way. IT in Canada looks pretty good at the moment - what's driving you to look at a move - economic reasons or other?
The fractal finger tool completes the list of assembly machines needed to build any man made machine or structure with 100% automation. Everything from building space stations to managing nuclear accidents with 100% automation can be implemented with this technology. All previously intractable mechanical problems in robotics have now been solved with this new branch of robotics.
"The GPL is the opposite of free speech; it's a highly detailed copyright agreement with the purpose of restricting the expression of derivative works."
Yes. This is true. So why does the FSF do this?
From their site "copyleft (very simply stated) is the rule that when redistributing the program, you cannot add restrictions to deny other people the central freedoms. This rule does not conflict with the central freedoms; rather it protects them."
In other words, the GPL puts this restriction in place in order to protect greater freedoms, these being:
# The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). # The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. # The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2). # The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

My understanding is that the GPL is just a licence to use the copyrighted code. The copyright holder is free to issue other licences to use the same code. In other words, if a company approached the copyright holder of some original GPLed software, they could negotiate a licence to use the code on a closed basis.
This means that Linus/FSF/whoever could claim the direct loss of such licencing revenue from Castle.

"our receptionist and head of technology"
It's always good to see a company that takes its technology issues seriously.
I would be interested to hear if there is a (theoretically) foolproof way to use distributed clients to produce results with confidence if you accept that some clients will be spoofed.
Send each packet out to three or more clients - those that return different results get suspended. Isn't good science about repeating the experiment and checking the results?
Businesses, once "forced" to hire disabled workers (by no longer having an excuse not to) usually find them to be especially motivated workers.
Absolutely - I've worked with a wheelchair-bound woman, and when I consider the challenge getting into work was for her, I can see how the rest of the day was a doddle for her! The difficulty is in forcing people to think a little before making silly decisions which inadvertantly put disabled people at a disadvantage.
Suppose I made some product which would be of no interest to any persons with any sort of disability?
He was suggesting that there is some product he could make which would be of no interest to anyone with any disability. That's what I was disagreeing with. He'd obviously not considered the needs of disabled people very carefully.
I'd suggest you've fallen into the same trap. Many people who are registered blind actually have some eyesight, but need extremely strong and unusual prescriptions - they'd be very interested in an opticians site. People who've lost limbs often want their replacement limbs to look unobtrusive, hence interest in well-padded footware like running shoes, and gloves.
I must admit defeat on the subject of people without any ears though!
I guess one of the drivers for this policy is that government departments have to be seen to be non-discriminatory employers. If you believe the stats on the zdnet article, that would imply that up 1 in 30 government employees "have vision problems" (sic). That's probably a lot of employees who, unless something positive is done, will find their jobs harder to do as business moves more and more into internet technologies for their interactions.

No, read his statement again:

I must admit defeat on the subject of people without any ears though!
As to whether I'd want someone to say "do it anyway", I understand that that's the point of the "Americans with Disabilities" Act - to enforce companies to make provision for disabled access to their services, even if there is no evidence of strong demand for such access. This move is just an extension of that same philosophy into the Information Superhighway (© Al Gore).
I guess one of the drivers for this policy is that government departments have to be seen to be non-discriminatory employers. If you believe the stats on the zdnet article, that would imply that up 1 in 30 government employees "have vision problems" (sic).
