Do you mean radio stations where DJs sit in a studio and play records and that audio is IP-casted as well, or do you mean a website which offers a stream of random MP3 files? In the latter case, storage of uncompressed files could be an issue, I guess.
You do not consider Copyleft software to be Free. That's a valid opinion, and that is what differs between you and the FSF, but you should keep in mind that the FSF still considers BSD software to be Free.
You wrote "If software were truely free, you'd be able to do what you wanted and not have to do a damn thing in return."
My point was just to point out that some software which is Free FSF-style is also Free by your definition. You are not completly opposed.
No, Iridium satellites fly very low so the latency isn't that bad. It should also be possible to combine the satellite connection with a regular modem connection, routing low-bandwidth interactive traffic (telnet, irc, short http sessions etc) trough the modem(s) and high-bandwidth bulk traffic (ftp, nntp, large http downloads etc) through the satellite.
I read an article about swedish internet radio station SPRAYdio. They said they were switching over to storing all music in a non-lossy compression format online on harddisks so that they could more easily support new compression formats. But that sounds expensive, and it was before the dot-com death.
The discussion have mostly focused on what this would mean for free software development. However, I wonder, what would happen to people who use unlicensed implementations of patented standards? That could be "contributory infringement".
I find your stack-based MISC designs very interesting. To me it seems that the basic idea is this:
When all operations are stack-based, there are no operands, only operators. That means that the only variable in each operation is the operator. Also, the Minimal Instruction Set Chip (MISC) design means that there are only a few operators to choose from. Therefore, the result of every possible operation can always be precomputed by the chip before the instruction has been fetched from RAM. Each instruction is also very small, only a few bits each.
Adding to this, the number of memory reads and writes is reduced by keeping the topmost value of the stack in a register instead of in RAM.
Is this a good overview of how your earliest MISC chips worked, and if so, how much of this has changed in your newer designs?
Are we talking about student-administred machines here? Are they owned by the students? In dorms? In that case, provide a central repository with the latest versions if your antivirus software, and leave it up to the students to install and update it on their computers. The U cannot possibly be responsible for machines which it has not control over. Either you have complete control over the computer, or you don't.
If the university's computer system is at risk because some student administrated computers have viruses, then the
university's computer system is too vulnerable, and should be fixed.
I never intended to administer Microsoft SQL Server for a living. I quite literally fell into the field. One minute I was an unskilled high school dropout lifting boxes in a warehouse, and the next, I was a highly paid DBA. I have my MCSE to thank for this, and I have fate to thank for my MCSE.
Yeah, bandwidth costs, but it only costs half as much if the other end talks as much with you as you talk with them, so what you should do to lower your costs is to set up servers with popular services. Then the other end will want to pay you to get access to your servers. (Oh, and by the way, xDSL customers often like to set up servers on their homes.)
Thats's why Telstra should try to get as many servers as possible on their network. Servers run by their customers, that is. More servers means more outgoing traffic, means more incoming traffic to other ISP:s around the world, means Telstra can actually charge money (or pay less) for peering with other ISP:s.
It's a win-win situation: Other ISP:s customers gets more servers to talk to and more content to fetch, and Telstras customers gets more bandwidth cheaper!
Neat, they (geocaching.com) claim they own the copyright for links to their web pages. Cool. Maybe I can claim I own the copyright for my e-mail address, and sue all spammers!
"Here are some solutions to the same problems you had. Firstly, you need to patch your w2k boxes to the latest pack. Then install the beta k5 updates from Microsoft beta w2k site. These updates remove the slight changes Microsoft made to kerberos, and thus makes it compatible with your other systems."
Will that help with the authorization problem in this case?
Yeah, cross-realm stuff is strange in W2k. Sigh...
You can always try setting up a UNIX-based KDC, running Heimdal krb5 implementation. (Don't use that one from MIT...;-) Make sure to only allow console login on that machine, and turn off all services you don't need. It will be the only computer where all the passwords are stored, so if it gets cracked, you're in big trouble. I don't know about you, but I'd rather trust my password database to a properly managed Solaris machine than a W2k machine.
Now, having UNIX clients authenticate to that server is really straight-forward. Just install Heimdal and kth-krb and set it up. The passwd file is distributed using a cron job. It works fine, don't worry.
The Windows clients, at least W2k clients, should be able to authenticate to the KDC, and I think you can solve the rest of the centralized account management through AD.
See, all you clients will use KRB5 or at least KRB4 authentication so you should have a potentially secure system. If you need more PAM modules then you can use the ones from MIT kerberos as well, or Naomaru's.
Provide statistics about the how (for what and how much) people get paid for doing their jobs (such as paying attention to their beepers or avoid having a beer on a saturday night). They should help you get something you can show to your boss, to make him understand.
Yes, of course you should get paid. Have you told your boss you think you should? If he refused, then he's simply being unreasonable. You'll have to persist, start a union or get another job.
(I live in Sweden and I'm not a member of any union.)
The following is a quote from a Critical Scientology Site:
This is the
letter that Congressman CARLOS J. MOORHEAD, 27TH DISTRICT, CALIFORNIA sent to the speaker of the Swedish Parliament regarding the Zenon case and the NOTS documents. You can also read the answer from the speaker BIRGITTA DAHL. They forgot something about the Swedish "offentlighetsprincip". The letters are available as well as NOTS, from the Swedish Parliament.
I have only HTML-ized the letters and fixed the formatting.
Now then, Scientology obviously have a great deal of influence in the U.S. These two letters, from the congressman HOWARD COBLE, CHAIRMAN Subcommittee on Courts
and Intellectual Property, is almost a declaration of war. The first letter is to Birgitta Dahl, Speaker of the Swedish Parliament, and the second letter is to Laila Freivalds, Minister of Justice, Government of Sweden. Once again, a representative of the U.S congress, forgets about the Swedish "offentlighetsprincip". that makes these letters public forever.
This is also an interesting official document. Warren McShane, the President of Religious Technology Center (RTC), writes to the speaker of the Swedish Parliament, complaining about how Sweden treats their secret scriptures.
Still it seems as if nobody in the cult had a clue that it would be known to the world, thanks to the Swedish offentlighetsprincip.
Some people in Sweden (where I live) tried that with the secrets of Scientology. The information was available for a while, until the US Congress pressured the swedish government a bit... Sigh.
The paper you found (and everybody is mirroring) is not the complete paper they were to present at the conference. That paper has not been released yet. That's clear from what they have posted on their website. Sadly.
I wonder if it would be risky for them to publish it in another country. Probably.:-(
But with FProxy it's still http://localhost:8080/blahblahblah... (Right?) Sorry, but that's still not right. I want freenet://blahblahblah... That's the whole point of having URLs, dammit!
I'm not writing a single freesite HTML file until I don't have to write <a href="http://localhost:8080/blah..."> and upload it to FreeNet so it will stay there forever (or everyone stops caring).

The FSF considers for example the 3-bullet BSD license free software. But it is not copyleft.
Do you remember the GIF patent? Unisys actually did go after software users, not just developers.
No, you're missing the point. You politicians and your businessmen both want to do the same things: Regulate encryption.
You can do whatever you want as long as your software contains backdoors for the government and look at the copying restriction bit mask.
They have a clue! They're doing everything right!

That's why they (the developers) should have assigned their copyrights to the FSF instead of to Sunspire Studios...
If you like ports, check out mpkg. It is another ports tree for multiple platforms. It's a bit different from the rest of them, so it's worth a look.

For you who think he's right: Region coding has nothing to do with copy control (which has not much to do with copyright protection).
You're a stupid gun nut. Go kill yourself (or each other)!
