No, it was introduced to allow a business owner to refuse to trade with someone with whom he did not wish to trade. A sale requires the sellers consent.
Which just goes to show that the analog hole is alive and well. If you give someone something that they can touch and feel and experience, it can be recorded or cracked, its just a matter of time and effort.
Clearly, the best OS is Linux, or perhaps an nLite-d version of Win98. HOWEVER, assuming you do mean Linux, don't confuse the OS with the distribution. Remember, the choice of WM is yours not tied to the OS.
It is not the fault of the filesystem that applications save things in different places. Sure, a monoculture of apps will minimize this, but at no point is it a _file system_ problem. That's like saying its an operating system fault when your desktop background image is ugly.
Fix the apps, fix the users. Leave the filesystems alone.
Carrier Sense, Multiple Access, Collision Avoidance. Sadly, the roads, and soon (?) the skies might be filled with mouthbreathers who operate on the Ethernet (Carrier Sense, Multiple Access, Collision Detection) model. Who the hell would ever insure on of these? Lloyd's of London ?
Just because a state mandates something, does not mean it automatically happens. Look at speeding, look at drug laws, look at overtime rules for P/T and F/T employees, look at many other unenforced business regulations.
This stuff is like when a judge ordered a server's RAM chips removed and stored as evidence, as they were a 'data storage device'. Government typically sucks at anything like this.
If your product works, or at least appears to, and you have a sound plan for getting it to market, where it will be purchased, then SOMEONE will loan you the money. If you're a slick dot-com shop with a foosball table and free soda for everyone, and your product consists of a slick name and spiffy presentations, then not so much.
Are doomed to reimplement it, poorly. Does anyone have any confidence that the US Government WONT mess this up completely? Give the key to Google or AOL or IBM or something.
"Ada is the natural choice for mission-critical, high-integrity systems due to its combination of flexibility, reliability and ease of use". I'm not sure who agrees with that blanket statement, other than the author of the article that this was lifted from. It sounds like a Microsoft spiel on.Net for crying out loud.
If you came to the Internet to look for cogent discussion about anything, then you're in the wrong place. Most slashdot comments are just monkeys flinging feces at each other. Get with the program. Want to talk highbrow? Go to a Starbucks.
How is establishing a commision to determine and monitor whether or not Bumfark, Arkansas has broadband access remotely relevant to anyone else in the country? How is this NOT a solution looking for a problem ?

Aren't they already configured that way, or was it just the 2:1 media bias towards him?

Slashdot is run by Americans, visited by Americans, often discussing things related to, you guessed it, America.
Sounds like someone is bitter.
I like being someone else on every website out there. Much harder to track.
You know, I'd like to be a power broker too, but I'm just as irrelevant as this douche.
Because you're too poor/little to take them to court over it. Welcome your new, corporate overlords.

Doesn't Russia just pirate all the software anyways ?

Al Qaeda is on AOL chat rooms asking A/S/L ?
This is super old news, yet another reason for Flashblock.
Brown people scheming and lying to the US Government in order to make a buck? Say it ain't so !!
Either they violate them and sell your info to everyone with limited to no reprisal, or some idiot "loses" (eBays) a laptop with all the data.
Don't lie to me and tell me when I know you don't care about my private info.

Only criminals won't vote... or something.
Anyone else see the insane paradox of mandatory voting ?

Most Windows users never change the default colors, or even that stupid grassy knoll background image.

So because some Frenchman smelled something funny, now Apple has to defend against "toxic fumes" ?
This is the same court system that required a server's RAM to be held as evidence, since it was a data-storage device.
Someone will challenge this, and the State will lose. That's the way the system works.
