So, I don't see the problem for person in Belarus to log into amazon or gmail as long, as it is performed for personal, educational or other non-commertial purposes. Problems starts if you want to do business and your systems are outside of the country. And this most likely affects businesspeople from other countries visiting.by.
Of course, it is Belarus. And how widely this law will be [ab]used remains to be seen.
Gizmoproject ties you to gizmo (sipphone.com's) service; openwengo is not (*). So, if you have your own SIP gateway, you can configure wengo software to use YOUR gateway, and not that of authors of software. You can not do that [without hacking|network interception] with gizmo.
(*) well, "production" version has SIP configuration dialog disabled, but, as it is opensource, you can compile your version for your customers and yourself.
No. SPF box will check what mx.aol.com PTRs to and then will check if your IP is in that set. Latter check will not hold [I hope], so you will need to find other big name...
Here at Lithuania one company produced lots of PowerPCs with help form IBM. Lots of them were put into scools. But unfortunately they have screwed something with IDE controller and therefore I know of no man who succeded to boot linux from harddrive on these beasts. Otherwise linux installs just fine.
CTCP is not an option if you need to communicate with more than one person and this is what irc channels for are.
Second. I did not read specs. But I immagine that one could create a secure system where:
encryption/decryption is made [almost] only on client computers;
clients could complain to server that something is wrong with particular nick;
server then could check next few messages from that suspectable nick and apply penalties either to one who supplied badly encrypted/forged data or who blamed on innocent
As for increase in network traffic. 16 extra bytes per message for authentication is not a big deal when just tcp/ip header is 40 bytes long. And you could save more by changing full name of server to just id.
For those who speak about central authority. If I have some friends who I communicate a lot I will have stored their id files (also I don't know if this is in this implementation) and my client could warn me if somebody other pretending to be friend of mine.
All in all - I suppose this is good idea. The only problem - I could not find source for their server.
eVoting is good for mini-referendums

Ok, voting was invented to get people's oppinion. And in the ideal country we -- cityzens -- should be asked for every problem in question. But it would cost too much and would make us bored very soon.
Therefore we elect our representatives to be bored for us (at the price they are allowed to do whatever decission in our name). And this is where eVoting could make big change! With eVoting we can:
drop the voting price - make voting available for every question;
get the oppinion of people, who cares about that particular problem;
make more problematical to buy votes at parlaments/congresses/etc;
check out how good our representatives represents our oppinions
parsing of HTML is wrong way. If you need to present information in different forms you should provide it in XML and supply different style sheets for different browsers.
I teach perl classes. And I do this in Lithuanian. And unfortunately we do not have traditional name for symbol # in our language. But I need to spell it from time to time. So I spell "criminal" or "criminal sign" (in translation).
So, I suppose M$ choose correct symbol for naming it's invention.
Hey, I wrote no line in Python (I'm perl fan), but I will try to participate in make competition. And I don't think they will force me to do lot in Python.
"How?" Write your tools in whatever language, provide GENERAL interface for scripting (add comment - Python interface will be [user changeable] default) and you violate no rules [IMHO].
"What do you have to improve in make?" Well, you will find this in competition pages when it will end up.:-) Or, if codesourcery won't make it public, - I will do personally. I'm not so fool to disclose ideas I had for several years with "no try" in competition. Especially when even minimal prize is 5 month of my salary worth (C'est la vie in ex-USSR).
Do you believe in success? Yes, I do. And time will show how everything will happen.

You can allways put a *nix box between the Internet and your msexchange which will decide what messages are good and which are bad.
Oops. A, not PTR ;-)

Just a tought :-)
I was and still am sure, that tcp window is measured in bytes not packets.
... w2k is "built on NT technology", so also is somehow unix... then, what MS is fighting?

I'm not sure we are talking about the same board.
