After limited times, meaning a short amount of time, the duration of the copyright expires, and new works can be made based on the old work. This is how copyright avoids stifling new works -- old works' copyright expires. This promotes progress in the arts and sciences because there is now not much (if any) profit in rehashing old works.

As the person is already committed to do it, can you recommend better schemes? If so, I'm sure the person asking will be grateful.
Entering as a foreigner in the country will flag you for sure. Man-in-the-middle attacks are possible.
I'm not worried about encrypting SMSs or traditional voice traffic, but I would like all IP traffic as secure as possible.
If your traffic doesn't require real-time reporting of events (i.e. a delay of 2-3 hours between the event and the report is OK) and doesn't require large amount of data (i.e. text reports rather than video).
1. As you control both ends of the communication, consider a prearranged set of one-time pads
2. Plausible deniability - including steganography and Rubberhose filesystem 3. Netbook instead of a smart-phone? (easier to arrange, no need to hack the phone)
If you had a perfect reflector, you could. But perfect reflectors don't exist. Every mirror or mirror-like substance absorbs at least some of the energy of the reflected light - specifically, it's converted to heat. Even a fraction of the power of a weapons-grade laser converted to heat is a lot of heat, and melting a mirror even a tiny amount generally drops the reflectivity dramatically. End result - your mirror will reflect for a fraction of a second before it turns into slag.
By contrast, this perfect absorber converts the entire energy of the weapon-grade laser into heat. The attacker would be thankful to you for mounting one on the target.
A classic black body absorbs all frequencies. This is a very specific frequency absorption. No idea what it'd be useful for, but it's still a technically impressive capability that wasn't available before
Next time, ask them kindly using the "Guo Biao Kuozhan" charset, the Simplified Chinese won't do (and, for the sake of God, don't try French or Vietnamese scripts, too many accents... makes the writing too complicated to understand;) )
Great way to get yourself banned from the playground.
This can't happen overnight... it already owns too many balls, not to mention the playground and some referees... better get used to how the game is played nowadays.
Wine is awesome and all, but it doesn't (fully) support a lot of new games, and many games have only partial functionality.
Ah, your issue was with "gaming in general". Well, there are many gaming platforms, and not all the games on one runs on others: how's that different with Wine?
Okay, so maybe I was full of shit (just spent 20 minutes googling for citations, couldn't find anything), but I remember I saw threads on forums/websites about pre-ordering the game to support linux gaming. Maybe it wasn't as huge as it seemed to be. I don't know.
Why is this news? None of the several hour long outage calls I've been involved with were ever on the news.
One of the major exchanges in Chicago, as well as one one of the bigger global banks. Not a small firm.
Ah, I see... well, maybe it would be news-worthy, but... too pity there's too much noise coming from the open outcry trading in the pit... nobody hears about an outage and even during an outage the business goes as usual in that pit... everybody furiously shouting and gesticulating. (just kidding)
Maybe it will help to compare the LSE trade-volume per day with the same for your workplace?
It's one of those "to fill a void" type of desires that is not natural; it's a response to the kind of sense of alienation of which Erich Fromm gives such a great description... When something is being done not because it is voluntary and considered a joy, but out of some sense of desperation and unhealthy desire for attention, of course stress and anxiety is going to scale up with increasing involvement.
How could it work any other way? It's not a matter of whether anyone is forcing anyone -- clearly that is not the case. It's a matter of well-intentioned but thoroughly misguided compensatory problem-solving.
Interesting. Seems to me you argue that the "having friends on FB" is not the cause of an eventual stress but a retribution of one's misguided attempts to escape other types of stress (in the context of TFA, a correlation between too-many-FB-friends/anxiety due of a common cause rather then causation).

Cannot wait until someone creates a wifi hack for this and PWN some old people's eyeballs at the nursing home...human botnet!
And.. what follows? DDoS attacks or spamming?
Staring at the sun at the correct angle to charge the battery will surely help the glaucoma.
What about a design in which you don't send the combatants in the field in the first place?
Man I tried to rational but I ended up divided.
Wait until you deal with complex issues, see what happens then.
What makes linux a bad match for the German Foreign Office? Or what are they doing wrong?
Can't install the antivirus-and-security suite. So, very hard to protect against Wikileaks, which is important given the FO context.
Really, BP is thinking of the future. We should thank them.,
They should wait for my thanks in the future, then.

Is that fantasy or sci-fi?
Delusion.
What's wrong with Tor? Already plenty of endpoints in other countries.

I used to have a real-live ant farm, and I don't recall them being too elegant or efficient.
Next time try with Argentinian ants. The Latin species are so much more elegant than their Anglo-Saxon equivalent.

Good luck.

How it was done
In the world of cybercops, it is called "executive spear-phishing."
This is what you get if the executives you have are fishes, no matter (or even easier) if they look/behave like sharks.

See why doing your homework is good? ;)

To be fair those numbers were inflated by people who wanted to show that a game on linux can be profitable.

I'm finding it hard to believe that Wikileaks hasn't posted anything that's NATO-classified.
What is the probability the State Dept cables to contain NATO-classified information?
Or just a bunch of laws that allow you to take out teh other countries leaders...
I like the gist of it. Like passing a law in Nauru making illegal idiots be elected in US senate.
