Do you have any evidence that this is happening? I've not see it from Redhat. Also note that Young, Ewing and the other initial founders still control a large percentage of the stock. And as long as they can make the performace numbers that they have set they can more or less do what they want.
It sounds like you have to turn this feature on. And it does sound usefull, when driving having your radio search out trafic reports for you. Even better if it could find the ones for the roads you are actualy going to be using. It does not sound like these pirates are a huge problem, just really annoying.
I can see this as being usefull for true emergency broadcasts. Imagine you are driving down the road in your car listening to a CD or tape, normaly I don't want to be bothered, but for example if a tornado had been sighted 10 miles away, there would be a very good reason for letting everyone know *NOW*. but the set of cases in which you would want this to be used would be very limited.
Mostly things like "A Tornado has been spoted at place X if you are near there get to cover NOW!" ofcourse this is just a more fancy version of the EBS system.
The licencing one is a real law, and for a good reason too. Just above FM radio on the spectrum are the avation bands. If some yutz with a pirate station in Boston starts broadcasting on 124.4 mhz, it is going to cause major problems, that is Boston/Logan Aproach control. Many other frequencies are being used for avation, both for communications and navigation.
You know its because so many people like you don't vote and don't care that they system is so messed up. Why do you think Special intrests are so powerfull. Its because the folks who support them go out and *VOTE*. Basicly what your post says is that you want to opt out of the Democratic proccess. So what you end up with is what someone else wants.
No its not, they Chinese government said that they will be using Linux, not that everyone in China had to. There is a big difference. Similarly our government sets all sorts of policies of what it will or won't spend it money on. Acording to the 2 articles refrenced here all they have done is set usage policies for the government itself. That is normal and sensable.
Its not protectionism, they are not banning the import of Win2K, they are just saying that the Chinese Government won't buy it. Private companies are free to do so.
I can think of several ways that it will benifit all linux users.
1) Better support for 2 byte char systems. 2) A lot of people in China will be using linux. Some of them will be writing new code. With luck we will see some cool software originating in China. Both in terms of totaly new software and in terms of improvments to existing code.
I wold consider defeting Hitler and Nazi Germany a very good and Moral cause. While war is never pleasent it is sometimes better than the altertives. Like letting tyrants kill millions of people.
But I should also say that my Grandparents live in a building with a fair number of people who have numbers on their arm and who havent worn a short sleve shirt since 1945.
During WWII the Britts employed a large number of math geeks (Including Alan Turing) to decrypt the German codes. (Enigma etc). This probably won the war for the allies. It was also responsable for some of the first computers.
Even with a Nuke the shelters people built during the Cold war probably won't help much. During the Cold war we assumed that the Nukes would come in via bombers or missles both of which would give us at least some warning before they hit (it may be 30-40 min but something). If it was a Iraq attacking us we could assume that they would slip the bomb into the USA via an airplane or ship and then get it to the target by truck.
No warning, one second everything is normal the next second *BLAM*. No time to get to your shelter or into your suit.
Plus missles leave a nice return address in the radar tapes.

The best thing we can do to combat bio-warfare is a strong public health system. The great benifit of a strong public health system is that if we are never attacked with ebola or anthrax it will still benifit us.
Improving our public health system would benifit us a nation in many ways. It is good public policy.

Won't work sorry. The best model for a Bio threat is the Infulenza outbreak of 1918, which spread into a lot of small towns. The problem is that we are a very mobile socity where people move around a lot. It could come in with the mail man or a truck driver etc.
Scary as all hell isn't it.

Problem is that your gas mask or NBC suit will not do you a damn bit of good agenst a bio agent. Because there is a good chance that you will be exposed to it before you even know to put the suit on.
In all probability any bio-device would take the form of an airborn virus or bactieria, maybe a very virulent form of Infuenza. The person who is walking past you in a store could be passing it along to you without eather of you knowing it.
And with air travel it is posible for something to spread world wide in a matter of 2-3 days.
The idea that someone would pick up Ebola in somewhere like Uganda and get on a plane for London gives a lot of folks down at the CDC the screaming willies I'm sure.

The CDC is the best in the world at what they do, bar none. The problem is that for most of us there is very little we can do about this. Being ready for a bio attack is mostly issues of Policy and such.
To date no one has launched a bio warfare attack on the US, (At least that worked). But sooner or latter someone will.

Actualy I think they were bad *BECAUSE* they were Communists. Karl Marx specficly said that Marxism rejects all morality except that as it relates to the class. IE if you are doing what you are doing for the "Working Class" it is OK. I would assert you can draw a direct line from that statement and others by Lenin to the horrors of the Gulag and Mauist China and the Khmer Rouge.
After all when the powers can be can define morality as they will there is very little reason not to kill people en mass.

In that I am happy here, its not just things like bandwidth, but also things like there is a nice diversity of culture and art and things and a lot of good jobs. But you know it really depends on what you want out of life besides just your job. If you want to work 75 hr a week it doesn't really matter where you live. If you want to get involved in Stuff figure out where the stuff you want to be involved with is, go there.
Well there is also the issue of that sometimes linux does not make it easy to find things (The same can be said about windows ofcourse) and you know that person may actualy be trying to get work done and spending 3 hours digging in the manuals may be time that they don't have. Hell they may be on a tight deadline too.
If you take the forms that attack oil spills, I think what happens is that when you run out of oil the bacteria dies or goes dormant. Sort of like what happens when you brew beer. The Yeast runs out of food and just drops to the bottom of the container. (Also the alchahol at some point stops the yeast from fermenting).
There is a backstory behind the Hindenberg crash, the thing was desinged to run on Helium, but after the Nazi's stared re-arming Germany the US Gov banned Helium exports to Germany, and the only source of it at that time was in the US.
I would Guess that that would depend in large part on what context the question was being asked in and which Judge was involved. For example would a site like/. fall under the laws in some states that say reporters don't have turn over names of anon sources? Maybe, It probably depends on which state you asked in.
Part of the problem is that since the web is so new the legal spaces around it have yet to be worked out.
