More to it than that. While GPG would allow control of who can view, it would not control who can alter, let alone simply print the doc. Yeah, so you send a PDF to the view/print crowd, I suppose, but it isn't as simple as simple encryption.
"No industry is so fraught with impassioned histrionics as this one," Powell said on Channel 1, Channel 2, Channel 3,...
I did like the line, though, where he said that the anti-trust department would have to "take a pill and go to sleep" for big consolidations to happen.
In the original text, the key word that makes it unacceptable is that Microsoft would have the ability to license, as in "distribute, license, offer to sell". That could be construed as allowing MS to take, say, BSD-licensed source, and make it available under some other license. That they later say they had no intent to do so doesn't mean squat when you are in court arguing with them about it.
I was just reading the Mod Squad article, and it occurred to me that the appropriate metaphor for this situation with the DMCA is that "we can listen to the music, but are no longer allowed to sing along". To me, a programmer and musician, adding some cool hack to an existing product is not much different to humming/singing a harmony line to a song.
Every shared lib going linked into that binary would also have to be certified. Same issue with DLLs on Windows, of course. Consider THAT impact on simple library updates!
I can see maybe having a permission policy against framing another site, because that can seriously mis-represent the framed site. Linking, however, is the sincerest form of on-line flattery.
I'll "me too" that, and also say that I am impressed with the recently announced EnigMail plugin for Mozilla 0.9.9. Pretty damn seamless integration.

Should be working with Netscape 6.2.2? soon, also. Perhaps millions of AOL users will be sending encrypted mail to each other in short order! (Enough to give an NSA man the hives.) Oh, look! a Pig just flew by my windows. I'll be right back....
"And how about selling groceries over the internet..."
Hey, we order our groceries that way. Works great. The company happens to follow a number of good "old business" rules like: service, selection, consistent quality, and dependability.
They (simondelivers) do it so well that a local warehouse store ran an ad saying, "Look, shop us and save 10% over ordering online." We said, "What? Only a 10% premium to have 4 totes of groceries sitting in our garage when we get home from work on Friday? Hooya!"
Well said! A Silly Notation.1 is a hideous encoding scheme. The BER is simply ambiguous -- you don't need to send malformed packets to devices, rather simply send valid BER packets that just aren't right, but still follow the rules, and watch carnage ensue.
I kind of have to quibble about the 1.2 Billion dollar "price-tag" attributed to Code Red. Any money spent patching software is money that was required to be spent ANYWAY. If your server maintenance is out-sourced, it is that company's responsibility to patch 'em, and then bill you for it, and you pay it because that is what it takes to put a server on the Internet. 'Nuff said.
This is a trend I could support -- only accepting signed emails. In reality, one would divide the email stream into signed and unsigned, examining the unsigned email at liesure, if ever, or filtering it much more strictly.
The odds for success of any plan to prevent GM plants from spreading to the wild lie somewhere between those of my plan to keep my teens from experimenting with drugs and experimenting with sex.
A chance of success, but not good odds, and for many of the same reasons.

Except that we *have* the source, uh .. except that
SCO won't tell us which lines it is....
So Hans has a sense of humor!
Toothless? They got DVD-Jon in court, didn't they?
Oh, suck it up and make the one-line change to
route your email through one of your ISP's mail-gateways. That is what they are there for.
That just means that Microsoft can't be sued because students share warez using simple Win XP.
I'll bet a large percent of the queries, especially for bogus top-level domains, are due to lookups by MTAs when receiving SPAM. Think of the numbers!
This doesn't mean that even these queries shouldn't be handled better -- just that SPAM lookups cause a bunch of 'em.
I just re-read "The Stars My Destination" (aka "Tiger, Tiger!" by Bester. Great stuff.

I also like Tanya Huff way much.

Well, good! Now perhaps some altruistic hackers
can take a peek inside and find the $40 Billion of
Indian land trust money this department has lost.
We haven't needed programmers since COBOL was invented. Didn't you get the memo?
Actually, "right of first refusal" is a pretty common property law concept.

I don't think I can get myself to see AoTC again without the aid of narcotics, and that would be a bad example for my kids.
Twice I asked myself during the movie, "Am I watching MST3K?"
