Except, that the copyright doesn't protect the use of the name IN another name. Let me give you an example. In my home state, there were a couple of water parks, Magic Waters, and Rageing Waters. Both had Trademarked names. Rageing Waters came first, but had no right to tell Magic Waters to change their name because the use of Waters might make it difficult for people to differentiate them. OpenSSH is A DIFFERENT NAME entirely than SSH IMHO. If SSH's clientelle can't tell the difference, then they are IDIOTS.
First of all, this has absolutly nothing to do with Copyrights. Secondly, "waters' is a regular word, ssh is not. I seriously doubt the other waterpark could have called itself "Magic Raging Watters" or whatever.
Did I get something wrong here? Because the longer I think about it, the sicker I get...
Yes you did, Injesting RU486 is perfictly legal in the US, although Bush wants the FDA to 'reevaluate' it. Anyway, what exactly causes the huge moral sepreation between abortion and genetic enginering?
For one thing, canadians can't buy the service at all, it's more illegal there then it is to 'steal' it. And in the US, the amout of channels you get by 'stealing' the signal is far greater then any of the packages, especialy when you figure in pay per view movies and porn
Well, I'm not going to get too upset if a couple of Racists get killed, in fact I enjoy it. That probably has a lot to do with the reaction to Waco and Ruby Ridge in comparison to Kent State, etc, since the victems were societal rejects (cult members, nazis) rather then Liberal collage students.
How about the fact that silence encourages persecution and discrimination.
So does endless annoyance.....
How about the fact that unless people realize that 1 in 10 are gay, they'll consider it freakish.
yeh, right.The kinsey's report is way, way, off. If you belived that number, you'd also find out that in the first 10,000 histories, %15 were convicted sex offenders and %12 were prostitutes.
I'll admit that it's tacky, but I'll continue to be loud and proud for as long as neccesary.
My response is only a collection of electrons, in a pattern to for words. There is no intelligence in them, not literally. So of course he's less stupid. For a human being, however, he is incredibly unintelligent.
Why not? And who's going to pay for it? Americans?
um, what?
So it's alright to steal to make one's health and education better? Bill Clinton makes more than I do (much of it stolen from you and I, down to the dinnerware and the $750K/month office he wants). You're telling me I can just go in and take stuff out of his office and pawn it since I'd like an MBA? Cool!
If an american politician suggested we take money from the rich to buy Power Ranger toys for the poor, or rather, make them available cheaper to the poor, don't you think it would be stopped?
Capt'n crunch could tell any tone by ear to a few Hz (as many people can, apperantly), but I havn't heard anything about him being able to whisle that freqency. If he could, why would he ever need the whisle? There was one blind kid who could whisle any tone, however.
Also--in the movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley"--even I know a good deal of that movie was exaggeration and pretty flashy things, but blue boxes WERE shown--what did a blue box look like?
Any URLs?
Hrm... they were blue:P
Actually, there ended up being hundreds of [color]boxes, back in the day, I once found instructions for making just about all of them. Of course, most of the cool ones wouldn't work anymore (more advanced, hack-proof phone system).
A blue box doesn't really have a 'look' to it anymore then a radio or an answering machine does. It just needs to be able to plug into phone network (or make the tones in the air, in front of the receiver, which is much cooler in my mind).
this page has some pictures, one of Capt'n crunch holding a small device up to a phone... hrm, according to this goggle search it's still possible to blue box in Chile
Well, assumedly, the source could be diffed against the current source tree, or against whatever version he clamied to be using. Assuming that we trust the OpenBSD team we would only need to validate the changes to the code, not the whole thing, in fact, given that OpenBSD is already being used as a firewall would probably mean that no real new code would need to be added.

People who are infected with AIDS should be able to get medicine at the cost of manufacturing the medicine, at most, if only because those drugs reduce contagion and help prevent spread of the disease.
That isn't necessarily true. Remember, people are going to have take several pills every day for the rest of their lives. And if they go off the pills at any time they run the risk of producing AIDS viruses that are immune, witch would cause even more problems down the road.
A web server is several orders of magnitude simpler then a web browser, you could probably hack up a simple server with a few lines of perl. Slashdot had a story about an AppleII with a webserver a few months ago
we consume 90% of the worlds resources and have less than 10% of its population
Yeh, right. The United States has ~4% of the worlds population 6*10^9/2.8*10^5. If you could be that far off on the population count, you're numbers for consumption are probably just as whacked.
Hey, Taiwan does not have the same problems with aids that places like Veitnam and Thailand do, damnit. We are fine. We arn't some damn 3rd world contry like Burma!
The main problem with the medical / biotech industry right now is, that they have realized that a cure / vaccine is a BAD thing. They can make much more money by only selling medical products that you have to take the rest of your life to survive.
at least 99% of the people who have aids now got it from doing something that they knew would put them at risk. And the only reason they are alive today is beacuse of the new drugs. I hate all these people who act like deserve a cure or something.
two-thirds of the drug companies costs are in marketing and administration
Ok, look. I hear this all the time, and every time I do I just get more and more pissed off
repeat after me YOU MAKE MORE MONEY IF YOU ADVERTIZE THEN IF YOU DON'T ok? If the drug companies spent the 1/3rd of the money they spent on TV adds for aleve this year on R&D then they would have even less money. Things like Clariton and Viagra arn't required by people to live, but they do make their lives easier and more fun. But if the drug companies didn't advertise them, no less people would buy them, a lot less, and there would be a lot less money to spend on R&D. Marketing is a damn loss leader, damnit!
And as far as administration, well, what the fuck? You think they can run the company without any administration? They wouldn't even be able to ship products without it. I seriously doubt any company would spend more here then they need to.
Stroke/letter recognition is a pain. I had a Newton 2000 for a few years and got used for taking notes just like I would on paper, in cursive
My pocketPC can do this, just use microsoft transcriber.
Real PCMCIA slots (two on 2x00). You could go down to your local computer store, pick up almost any modem, put it in your newton and be relatively sure it would work. Not some special "springboard" module that has to be bought at some special store or online.
Ok, so there's no PCMCIA slots on pocketPCs, but you can get CompactFlash, and there are just about as many perfrials out there that use CF as PCMCIA.
It's FAST. I believe people had talked of writing an mp3 player for newton.
64bit 150mhz CPU (the same one used in the n64, but at a higher speed). And it already comes with an mp3 player. Video to.
A real speaker and a port of macintalk at the end. It was easy to have a message or email read to me and I would easily understand it.
My pocket PC has a built in speaker (as does the palm), or you can use headphones. it dosn't have a 'macintalk' connection, but it does have a serial port, and you can get CF ethernet cards for $65.
Real voice recording. A microphone provided voice or music recodings in different qualities
I've got that. Of course, there's no way you'd ever consider anything from M$, but there it is...
does apt-get work on windows? on the mac? the requirement here is cross-platform as far as I know apt-get doesn't even work across Linux distros...
Anyway, if you can't assume access to a compiler, the only thing you could do would be to ship binaries for every platform. And as you can probably tell, that would suck. I would say just use java and.jar files, but it seems like you want to be using C++. Another option would be to have the installer go grab the files off a server if it doesn't have the ones it needs for the current platform.
Of course, that would require that you have binaries for that platform, but, its better then nothing.
