I went to the store today and asked for a DVD player. The guy behind the counter started to scream and yell and threatening to call the police and have me arrested for buying a 'device that could be used to circumvent a anti-copy protection'.
1. It will be to expencive to implement and develop something like this. If it's done it will cost a LOT more then 1 cent/page.
2. Searchengines will not be able to index pages without beeing charged 1c for every page.
3. How are shools going to pay for this? Schools have already problems getting money for computers that the students can use.
4. What is a page? How does site that uses frames going to be charged? And if a site uses a 100 's will that be attract a charge of 1$?
And what about #includes?
And sites like slashdot that adds new content on top of old? Archives?
And sites that uses JavaScripts that makes the page reload every time something is klicked?
5. Popup's? Should we have to PAY to see those X11 adds!!!!
6. Should i really have to pay amazon a cent to shop at there site?
7. If there is a central organation that takes all the money and hand it out to the siteowners how can it be guaranteed that the site owner really get the my 1c?
8. How about this: A worm infects a computer and starts to download a website over and over again to give a scriptkiddie a small fortune every month!
And there is about 1000 more way's to trick this system. The options for fraud is endless.
9. Most times when you search for something you discard the first 10 pages before you find a site that have the info that you are looking for. Should i have to pay for all those outdated/faulty pages that i didn't whant to read.
The evil marketing guy forces the webdesigner to put a banner on the top of the page. The contents of the page is in a IFRAME tag.
If a browser requests the IFRAME src but not the banner, the server can send a page that says that you have to view the banner or pay.
This is only one way of doing it.
Java script and VB script can do even more marketing things.
And the marketing guy's don't care about lynx (and not even mozilla) beacuse none of their target audience uses lynx anyway.
"Open source" means that anyone can get a copy of the source code. Developers can find security weaknesses very easily with Linux. The same is not true with Microsoft Windows
This is microsofts security policy in a nutshell.
Hide the errors and hope no one finds them so they don't have to make a patch (read servicepack).
Slashdot Mirror

I guess we now know happened to all that stolen M$ source code.;-)

I wrote a letter to Mr Gates a few years ago.
I remember that the word "idiot" and "Bill" apperd in the same sentence.
