To be fair to the gov a law or policy can not have an exact meening untill a judge rules on it. And for a judge to rule on it it must go to court. It may not be perfect but that is how it is. (Ofcourse the bit about having your door kicked in kind of sucks)
Yes but trademark law applies to domains. If I have a trademark on foo then I can claim it applies to "foo.com". I bet you that if you tried to register cocacola.com that coke would come after you under trademark law.
This reminds me of the baseball reserve clause. Untill the 70's any ball player who singed with a club had to stick with them for life. Now the major difference was that there was only one Major League baseball where as there are a number of record companies (OK a small number) so there is some posibility that a court would rule this at least partialy un enforcable.
Ofcourse I could be wrong. Depends on your jurisdiction.
It is partof the job of the US State Dept to look out for US citizen's abroad. So they issue warnings about things that they think may be a problem. This includes Y2K but it includes a lot of other stuff. There are a lot of americans who live abroad (I used to be one) and there are a lot of Americans who travel around the world. The State Dept has to do their best to try and keep them all as safe as posible. In that function one has to be a little paranoid to warn people about all the things that MIGHT go wrong.
There is also the issue of how common are planets. I would guess that people always assumed that *SOMEWHERE* there were other planets. But they seem to be a common thing. That is exciting.

I think redhat does it right, (THe other might to) 1 distro three configs:
Workstation
Server
Custom
Maybe have a few others. Its one CD it just asks you how you want it setup. I think it should install all the demons. Just not turn them on. Then have a short tutorial (under 2 pages) about root vs normal users.

Hey no one has to buy a TV with a V-Chip. And the point of these adds is that most people don't know how to use it. The idea here is that you can turn the V-Chip *OFF*. Hey if you want to use it you can. But if you don't want to you don't have to.
If they made me use it I would have a problem with it. But they don't I have a TV without one. (Or maybe it does and I never found that page in my TV's manual).
If I had a kid maybe I would want a V-Chip. But even in that case I could turn it on or off as I wanted. I think that is a very reasonable way to do things.
Maybe the Siemens and SAP folks see this as a way to get SAP into places that they never would have before. Yes you can get a full R/3 package setup for $5 Million. But that is a lot of money. Maybe they see this as a way of lowering the entry point to say $250K. At that price they may be able to get a lot more customers in the door.
I could be wrong but that seems to me a good way to grow your sales.
I saw something on TV (I think it was on Nova) about this. It seems that they have done tests and when they asked people to read with floresent lights the eyes moved in a much more jerkey fashion. On the other hand when they switched to a light that flashed at 20Khz they normal smooth motion returned.
I'm just thankfull that I have abig window and can mostly leave the overhead lights off here.
Actually thats only part true. They cant give out which movie you rented. But they can say you rented a movie from of genre "Y" where Y could be "James Bond films made after 1990". Which to marketing folks is probably just as usefull.
It is ok to bundle 2 products together. It is only a problem when you bundle product 2 with product 1 because you have a monopoly on product 1.
And you can buy a G4 without the monitor. I think Apple is doing this to keep demand down untill they can make enough to sell them seperatly. They may be having problems ramping up the factory.
It should be pointed out that Sen Hollings is a Democrat and that the bill does not have any co-sponsors. So it will probably die in the commite. It is at best a very *LONG* way from becoming law.
Look people are doing illegal stuff on the net. They are using the net to do stuff that has been illegal for years in whatever juristdiction you are talking about. If you use the net to commit fraud (Which was explicitly mentioned in the E.O.) You have commited a federal fellony. And you should be prosicuted for it. Just as if you had commited fraud in any other ways.
The laws of the Nation (Whichever one you are in) for good or ill are still aplicable to you on the net.
I meen quite frankly if the mob is using the net to move stolen cars the FBI should stop them, that is why we have laws.
The thing is that the Harrier is classified as a "Powered Lift" aircraft not an airplane. And at the molment there are effectivly no civilian powered life aircraft. So untill he could find a Flying instructor (CFI) Rated by the FAA to instruct him on how to fly it he could not legally fly it. Also it unlikley that the FAA would issue a civilian registration to a Harrier. Making it a very expensive lawn orimnet.
Oh and expect several hundred bucks an hour to keep it in the air if you could get past those hurdles. Jets drink fuel like their is no tomorrow.
Yea well Admiral Rickover was an amazing guy from what I know about him. But I think that Both were mostly built by GE. I would imagine the designs are more or less similar. (Except the navy's may be smaller to fit on a ship)
My Boss, used to Run reactors for the US Navy. It takes under 2 seconds to stop the reactor, (You just drop the controll rods) then you can bleed off the heat and pressure, this does not require a pump as the thing is desinged to use the heat already there to create a convection. (hot water rises, and is replaced by cold water.)
It takes about 12-24 hours to bring it back online.
I believe that things like medical software do not include a disclamer of liability. So yes in that case you *COULD* sue if you wanted to.
Just for the record many avation related things would have the same problem. You can't install anything in an aircraft without it being aproved by the FAA. For more or less the same reasons. This could cause some problems for Open Source General aviation Software. Which is annoying as I had been thinking about writing some.
Subject to the interpretation of a court. But I will stand by my statment that this is never going to be made a law in the first place. Hell it will probably never even be submited for a vote. So it is rather a moot point. THIS HAS NO CHANCE OF BECOMING LAW
Hey if you buy something over the net in the UK the HM's Government will still charge you for VAT. The point is that a sale made over the net is still as sale and should be taxed the same as any other sale. Its just that we don't have sales tax on interstate commerce in the USA.

I would pay about $50 a year. Oh never mind I already do. Its called my membership in WGBH. (Which I really should renew).

Import Tarifs? We have been doing those since 1789.
Um Congress is in the August recess at the molment. So no bill has been submited at this point.
Specificy what features would you like to see added to gimp. Or what things in Photoshop can't you do or do easily in Gimp?
I know there are things I just want to know which things people are interested in.
