I think your naive. If the NSA hasn't got a crack for every encription method out there, they can have one in a week. There is something to be said for having dedicated supercomputers to brute force anything. I seem to remember that most public keys have to be approved by NSA for that very reason, or did that change?
One thing my local white box store started doing is selling his small business customers 120GB external drives for nightly back-up and removal to another site (normally the owners home). 2 of them alternated daily is the perfect solution at a very reasonable cost.
Having a 40GB and 60GB from Maxtor with fluid bearings I can't imagine anything quieter. I have worked on 2 boxes with the 120GB version and those were just as quiet.
I really want a pair of 80GB 8MB cache SATA Maxtors with fluid bearings. Speed , silence, reliability, what more can you ask?
Why stop there?, Microsoft, Exxon-Mobile, Chevron-Texaco, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, hell It would be easier to name the one that don't. One hell of a lot shorter list. All of which donate the max to BOTH political parties every year, not just election years.
Our armed forces have higher ethics and morals than 90% of the business executives in the world. They don't make the decision to start a war, never have and never will. Learn how to read the constitution.
Nice and simple, it even makes sense. Therefore it can never happen. Icann and M$ don't want anything they can't screw up. It's all such a mindless blob of beurocracy that it has it's own unstopable momentum, kind of like all federal governments.
I bet they are hooking it to one of their Cray's just to search their own DB. Can you imagine the amount of signals traffic they intercept in a day? Then try to sort into files of what is coded in cyphers we have broken and what needs work. Then translate the decoded messages and forward them to the agency that needs them.
I watch very little TV anymore, sports, old movies, and some news(Fox). What is there to watch? It's all pure unadulterated crap. Sitcoms with no humor, lack of reality shows, and gossip trying to pass as news. Or HBO's one decent movie per quarter. Who needs it?

Thats a complete evening for me, unless the History channel has something.
I still have a set of Encyclopedia Britannica with a 1957 copyright. For some historical things they have more info than a new one. Now reading about computers, and other electronic technology is funny because you can see how far we've come in a fairly short time. They are still useful in many ways.
You see it on tv every night. It's the same problem that has blown all forms of liability to assinine proportions.
IT'S THE LAWYERS. You see the ambulance chaser adds on tv every night. If you "think you were hurt" call us. We will sue anyone for any reason. They don't add that the only ones that make a nickel off of these suit are the lawyers on both sides.
Isn't it time for Game and Fish to open a season on Lawyers?
Thats it. This company data-mines public records, including credit history and sells the results in a convienient form. Saves time for those wanting it.
I guess what they are really selling is access to their search engine.
EB's biggest thing is games. For a new release you will not find enough of a price difference to offset the shipping charges. It's actually better to go to Wal-Mart and get the latest game a week or two later for about $5.00 less than EB will charge for the next 3 months.
Older games are almost always a better deal on-line.
in any attempt to regulate and unregulated industry, the first attempt is always santed towards the biggies in that industry. After several years they might get it right, then again maybe not. So all regulations will be written in M$ favor due to donations to politicians, oh, a use for that huge amount of cash on hand, and they WILL use it.
The sad fact is that common sense and the law have not recognized each other in 50 years. If common sense is not dead in this country, it is barely sustained by life support. This is related to the legal system and justice wich have very little in common anymore. I don't think they are on speaking terms.
EB is wrong in this case twice and will suffer a customer backlash, if it gets the publicity it deserves. The only thing that gets a corporations attention anymore is a big hit in the wallet.
How about enforcing existing laws?

The spammers I want in trouble are the ones hijacking some idiot's uprotected computer. That and address spoofing should get worse penalties than they do now. Of course they don't get charged at all now.
How about confiscating all hardware, $100,000 fine and ten years as bubba's girlfriend? This will end it when the first 5 get caught.
If CA actually has any boxes running Linux you get a question of license enforcement. That is the problem I'm look at. Trying to enforce something that wasn't part of the original agreement but unilateraly added later.
Anyone that thinks SCO wouldn't do that is not paying attention. It fits their current stratagy to a T.
If SCO actually added something (Linux IP paragraphs) to an already issued and accepted license for something else, would that be fraud? There is just something that sounds blatantly wrong about modifying an existing agreement without both parties approval.
Any legal types know the answer?
Isn't it a conflict of interest to elect lawyers to Congress where thry write laws in souch convoluted language as to guarantee perpetual employment to themselves and their peers?
Does anyone have an email address for AutoZone? Then we can send advice on how to get this crap dismissed. No settlement! Do a helpful Slashdoting of their headquarters.

The way they treat anyone that does it to them, I think it's very close. Of course theft works too.
A revamped DivX would be nice but M$ would just buy it. What really surprises me is the number of people who seem to care about baseball.
I gave it up after the 91 strike and a pox on all their houses.

No wonder they have several Crays.

My Dad bought them new in 1959 when I was 3.
If I remember correctly, there is a question on the federal firearms form about sanity. Did Darl lie on a Federal legal document?
Darl is not smart enough to own a gun, as has been proven by the number of times he's shot himself in the ass.
That would make someone into high class trailer trash.

This is a very bad idea.

No I think you should be modded up! This whole article is proof that some people are just too stupid to own computers.
These are the same kind that don't run any anti-virus software and contribute to that problem as well.
If SCO actually added something (Linux IP paragraphs) to an already issued and accepted license for something else, would that be fraud? There is just something that sounds blatantly wrong about modifying an existing agreement without both parties approval.

Hopefully on April 17 the judge will have grown balls enough to slap them with contempt, put Darl in jail and leave him there.
Only if SCO owns something, the NOVELL suit wikk answer that.
