"The experiment was part of an effort to determine why small particles of spray-on foam insulation flaked off of the inter-tank section of the external fuel tank on Space Shuttle mission STS-87 as the Shuttle ascended. The new lightweight insulation material was developed to comply with an EPA mandate to reduce ozone-depleting chemicals released into the atmosphere. Although such flaking or erosion of the insulation off the external tank posed no safety hazard to the Shuttle or its crew, engineers wanted to determine its cause to prevent future maintenance and operational problems. The flights aboard Dryden's F-15B were just one of many tests to which the new insulation material is being subjected. "
The EPA required Nasa to continue using a foam that was not as safe as the older tank foam. The EPA has a direct responsiblity for this disaster.
Yeah, they ran through the briars!!! And they ran through the brambles!!! And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go!!! They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em on down the Provo River to the home of SCO....
If the site's staff are expressing an opinion, it is protected speech. It they are attempting to pass off BS as fact and damaging the reputation of the swordmaker, it's libel. He can sue them and he should win. You have the freedom to say anything you want in America, but that doesn't mean there aren't consequences if you're a liar.
"I think you suck" is an opinion.
"You suck and here's a bunch of untrue claims about you" is libel.
There are existing laws that can be enforced if any have been broken. There is no need for news laws, or any reason for this to have a chilling effect on web sites.
Did it ever occur to you that no companies will go into Iraq unless the US and UK stabilize it?
It is in the interest of western nations to help install a democracy, hopefully one that is less hostile to us. We still pursue that goal in Afghanistan, and we will do the same in Iraq.
Allowing US companies to set up shop creates jobs and helps the Iraqi economy. These people not only live under the oppression of a dictator, but also the oppression of poverty. We can change that too.
A friend and I decided that we believe in Red Hat enough to put our money down. Once a year I pay what I call my "red hat tax" by buying a boxed distro of Red Hat, usually the personal version for ~30 bucks. I purchased RH8 a few weeks ago, even though I had burned copies already. I've done this since RH 5.1 (my first linux). I have not subscribed to RHN, but I've considered it. I know the GPL says I don't have to buy the software, but I do it because it's good for Red Hat, and therefore it's good for Linux. That said, if I can find a mirror for 9 I'll grab it today. And sometime in the coming year, I'll pay for another distro. I do understand the need for revenue.

Thanks for the clarification.
I know I'll be looking to uncheck the box that says DRM when I'm configuring new kernels to build in the future.
A hacker will be the first to say "who better to defend angainst computer intrusion than a hacker?" Hello, white hat system analyst.
Well, who better to be named Privacy Czar than someone who has a specialty in breaking away privacy?

It would be nice to go fully wireless for the next game consoles. I'd pay extra for that technology.
