I'm running WINE, no native Windows DLLs at all, no FAT32 partition in the slightest.
Some programs are reported to have issues if you don't use the native DLLs, but I only run limited programs anyway. If it doesn't work, I spend a little time trying to get it to work, and if it doesn't, use a different, real Windows machine or simply don't worry about it.
I think I've used the sound recorder in Windows a grand total of one time.
I think part of the point, that does need to be addressed, how do you convince users that yes, the package is complete even though,by comparison, it is missing something.

Yup. The point of TCPA is trust in the computer. Not your trust, the MPAA/RIAA/BSA's trust. It's completely untrustworthy as far as the user is concerned.
I know with Windows they are working on (already implemented?) Secure Audio Path, such that only signed drivers can be in the chain between the file and the hardware.

Because the code is probably something closer to:
DecryptMusic(Key);
Can't do squat without the key.
However, preventing you from changing it to DecryptMusicAndSaveAsMP3(Key);
is a lot harder, if not impossible. Of course, it does guarantee at least one sale to get that key. Not enough to make it worth it though.

ICS (portable) MultiByteToWideChar (Windows) Roll your own from the standard (potentially dangerous). However understanding the standard enough to do this, even if you don't is a good idea to find holes (e.g. never compare UTF-8 chars. There are several representations of some characters)
But let's see: Hiding info that was previously public... Permitting holding of prisoners without trial... Warrantless searches...
How do those in any way increase security? Why are they worth the diminishing of any rights? How is anything they gain more than temporary, if anything at all is achieved?
Even forcing all the schools to use a Class C network would buy only a few hundred million addresses, which is a drop in the pond at the rate that the net is growing worldwide, what with phones, PDAs, and toasters needing their own network connections these days.
And why can't those PDA's be NAT'ed through their provider?

But what each individual *calls* absolute truth is indeed subjective.
Take for instance religion. Almost every single one claims to be the one, true religion (absolute).
You willing to donate money to the PA defense fund?
No, they say you can't use it anyway you want. Whether or not that is legally enforceable is another question.
You're wrong.

Which doesn't mean much.
Did you write the legislator in that district and tell them the reason you did so?
I've been runnning it. Rather slow on fetching messages (don't know who's fault that is), but it works fairly well.
I have gotten some messages that it fails to retrieve and break retrieval until that message is deleted either in OE or the Hotmail interface
Solicited != Known sender
How do you whitelist mail you've solicited (say, comments on slashdot or usenet or address on SourceForge), but don't know where they're coming from?
I have.
My web page has an e-mail address on it, the only place that exists. There are signs saying spam isn't welcome. It still gets spam.
Why post a dupe? There's lot's of good stuff out there, like the new evil bit in TCP/IP.

It's just saying "Gnome now isn't where Windows was 8 years ago"

Depends on platform:
ICS (portable)
MultiByteToWideChar (Windows)
Roll your own from the standard (potentially dangerous). However understanding the standard enough to do this, even if you don't is a good idea to find holes (e.g. never compare UTF-8 chars. There are several representations of some characters)
Why?
Remember the definition of string is really:
std::basic_string<char>
And there's already
std::wstring (which is std::basic_string<wchar_t>)
Stick with manipulation in wchar_t (UTF-16), dump it as UTF-8 only on output. It's too easy to screw up on MBCS characters and add a hole.
You can't make any claim about coming from free providers with what you posted.
Post the owners of the IP that these were received from and how many of *those* were from (intentionally) free providers?

Which is why the e-mail address I post to usenet with is obsfuscated with NOSPAM, yet routinely gets scraped and spammed.
True.
But let's see:
Hiding info that was previously public...
Permitting holding of prisoners without trial...
Warrantless searches...

Actually, I misremembered. I meant Franklin.
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
I would certainly place government transparency under the essential liberty, as too much will happen if it's covered up.
So, Thomas Jefferson is immature and doesn't understand liberties and responsibilities?
