Using an OCR font would be better, sicne the same material can be read by ordinary people as machines, so it would preserve verifiability and transparency
Wouldn't a USB logger be able to sniff both the password and the key on the USB key? whilst you might need one for every port, as I understand it, they are, or at least can be, invisible to the TPM hardware check.
Since both permitted and forbidden versions appear to already available, it seems to me that they would keep selling the versions which are forbidden in CA elsewhere, and only sell the more efficient (and more expensive) models in CA. It all depends on the market size.
Applications would quite likely abuse the QoS bits if they were actually implemented (I'm thinking that a certain browser, in particular, would use it to improve responsiveness). Not to say that we shouldn't use the features which exist, just that we need to remember that people are going to try to game the system, sp some penalty for higher QoS packets would need to be applied.
People mange OK with directories being a nested list, and there is a certain unnamable protocol which uses names that way around. Unfortunately, we're stuck with the backwards system in use now, so there's no point worrying about it.
Of course, if the control rods weren't attached to the moderators, they might have had more luck shutting the reactor down. that isn't a fundamental feature of the reactor type, that was a stupid bit of design, which cannot be blamed on the political system. Either the engineers responsible didn't think the design through, or they assumed that no operators would be stupid enough to over-ride the safety systems and then abuse the reactor.
It would depend on the Canadian copyright and safe-harbour rules, on the terms of the contract, and on the trade practices laws, especially given that Copyright Violation is primarily a civil matter. This is not a question of whether the hosting provider can refuse to deal with a certain person, but rather about whether the hosting provider can take down the content arbitrarily.
If they were to end the contract, that would be a different matter, but they don't appear to have done that.
The problem with your argument is that the Canadian ISP may not have the legal authority to interfere with their customer's content. IANAL, and most certainly not a Canadian Lawyer, but all parties should follow the correct procedures under Canadian law.
Because the Pythons won't let them use their trademarks, I suspect. They know as well as we all do that a remake would be very likely to be terrible, and aren't going to want any part of it until they are a lot more desperate for money than they are now.
Main-line rail rates for everything in the UK used to be specified in pennies per mile, according to a big book of rates, with specially approved short miles for expensive infrastructure (like the Severn tunnel). This was abandoned because it didn't allow for demand based pricing (which is reasonable), and special deals with the operating companies (which is not so good). It also meant that the cheapest price between two stations might actually cost more to provide, because it could well be made up of lots of very short, slow legs.
Even so, I agree that walk-up prices are do seem too high.
In my area they are not unusual anymore, although they are mostly used on advertising for bands or movies aimed at younger people. You don't see them everywhere, but I imagine it is only a matter of time (unless something newer and better comes along, of course).
I could not see where the bill required the program to log the files to be shared, it only said that the list had to be shown and approved. ISTM that all that means is that the directory selection dialogue box would have to be shown on start-up. That would be satisfied with one IFDEF containing one function call (to offer this feature without annoying those outside the US who don't want it (because it is in their startup programs, for example)), along with a simple line of text on the download page.
(This assumes that the program is non-malicious, if it is doing anything underhand, of course there would be more difficulty.)
THe licence agreement for the content would ahve to take away the right to re-sell the disc once you have agreed to the licence. This does leave the loophole that they would have to prove that you actually agreed to it, but it would be fairly effective.
What would the actual patent(s) be on? The use of the active ingredient for that purpose would already have been established, so the patent would have to be for some aspect of the manufacturing process.
Clearly you interact with people who know that top-posting is evil and have no urge to reply to each email before reading the following responses that have been sitting in their inbox for 3 days.
One justification is that the sale is for the physical disk, but not the contents. The licence is required to copy the data into RAM. I don't like this concept, but there is a certain logic to it.
The French tried that in Spain during the Peninsular Campaign, and look how well that turned out. Once someone has lost his crops, home, and family, he hasn't got much left to care about, and killing a few of the people that did that to him is going to seem pretty appealing.
The Afghan hill country is ideal for an insurgency, as everyone who has tried to occupy it has discovered. As it is, there is some support for the government and a moderate amount of apathy. If the population was united against the occupiers, they could utterly disrupt ground-based supply lines, by means of sabotage, mines, and direct attacks.
There is a reason we don't use these practices anymore, and that is that they simply aren't effective if you wish to hold the territory.
To deal with this problem, it would be far better to put up prominent signs in, say, English, French, Arabic, and a a few other common languages at ports and the chunnel ordering anyone who wishes to claim asylum to report to the customs post or house immediately (with signs to show the way and so on). At major entrances it could also be broadcast over the tannoy along with other directions. Anyone who does not present themselves should be immediately returned to wherever they came from and banned from ever entering the country under any circumstances. Likewise, anyone who has come from a western European country who tries to claim asylum should also be sent back, unless they can prove that they were not safe in that country (which would be nearly impossible).
On the other hand, sign-printing probably isn't as good a reward for convenient donations as DNA testing.
...and the middle and the hard-working poor (yes, they do exist) get screwed yet again.
Even without segregated schools, you can go a long way with streaming, even in a school of 6-700 students. In one school I was at, in the lower years everything except religion was streamed into either 5 or 3 tiers. In 5-tier subjects, the lowest tier was the remedial class, and was given extra help, but in the other levels it was made perfectly clear that doing well had immediate rewards, since promotion and demotion was possible throughout the year, and the top classes got the best rooms and cleanest textbooks, the best equipment, led the way in cross-country running (and if that wouldn't encourage you to work hard at PE, nothing would) and so on as appropriate to the subject. The lower tiers were taught well, and had equally good teachers, but the small perks always went to those who were most gifted pr hard-working.
Where I am, a teacher in the public system who isn't in a position of responsibility (department head, head of year, other senior staff) gets less pay than the average plumber or electrician, despite the very long hours that teachers work (bear in mind that teachers have to prepare classes and mark work in their own time, which means 12+ hour working days during term time and often a six-day week, and that the short holidays and part of the summer is taken up by prep work too).
This is definitely a case where the unions are not making things better for the workers OR schools OR themselves, because the teachers are pretty much all resigned to the situation and the key union is too busy cosying up to the government and attacking the Catholic system, which is pointless because there are far too many Catholic parents, especially in the key marginals, for the government to do anything to raise Independent school fees.

Any layer 1 technology can be used to solve any layer 8 problem.

protocol:[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/path still seems to work in your scheme too.

The ONE TRUE indentation style, of course.

That sounds like a Layer 8 problem.

I don't mind alien bugs, but if they start sucking out brains I'm going to kill myself rather than see how bad the timeline is.

I agree, top posting is awful.
