The virtual pen allows you do all the things you do with and a mouse and a keyboard and more," said Gilad Lederer, co-founder and chief executive of OTM, which is based near Tel Aviv.
To say nothing of the headline.

33. "We've been doubling sales every 18 months. However, when you start from zero, it takes a long while." -- Stephen Yeo, a marketing director at Windows-terminal manufacturer Wyse, explaining his company's less-than-meteoric rise, to ZDNet UK
IMHO the problem is not the laws keeping up, but the principles underlying those laws being screwed with. For example, what if we had just stuck with the original 14 years for copyright. Screw the Europeans and their life + 70 years.
I am not saying that laws never need be changed or added, but I AM saying that the Founding Fathers got it MORE right than any other group of people in power, ever; that the underlying concepts that the USA was founded on are quite in harmony with the Internet and the information age. I can easily imagine the words 'Information Wants To Be Free'on the lips of Patrick Henry. The problem is not the laws being changed too slowly, but too fast, and with courts, congress and the states ADDING new laws where none are needed.
Well, the goose that lays the golden eggs gets at least a temporary reprive. You would think that just about anybody would be intelligent enough to figure our that open standards are the very reason that there even IS a viable WWW
now they are screwed either way: go after people who pirate Windows and push a big part of the NON Chinese communist chinese speaking community toward Linux, or do nothing and hope that the widespread pirating they had been trying to stifle is now their ONLY hope against an installed user base of 200-1000 million.
You can't just say that both parties must consent to the communication being recorded. If that were the case then a kidnapper could challenge the admission of the ransom note, or a person threatening you could try to keep the threatening letter/email from being admitted as evidence.
yeah, I should post a review of this book, but let me just say this: it is one of the best tools for blowing minds one could ever want. The perfect bathroom book,due to it being a series of rather short pieces, but loads of phun to leave about here in a big corporation. it is a dead tree distillation of much of the best content of disinfo.com. there is something that is both offensive to, and confirming of the pet conspiracy theories of, just about anyone.

Some perceived minor irritations may arise due to the implementation of Freenet in Java. Java is not like C, so some porting issues are bound to arise. Porting is hard sometimes.
IMHO, at some point there will be legal liability affixed on poorly managed blackhole lists. Negligence will be real hard to prove against a well run list, and of course no ISP is required to use any particular blackhole list, but just creating such a list and then NOT MAINTAINING it is bad karma at the least and potential libel.
IMHO the effort should be made to catch a few of the little bastards and see to it than an eXtreme example is made for all. Old enough to run a script, old enough to be tried as an adult and spend the next 20 years doing tech support for Pelican Bay in between visits from their new 'boyfriend'.
And there is a pretty clear difference between 'white hat' and 'black hat' hacking. Did anybody ACTUALLY SUSTAIN *PROVABLE* DAMAGE? (and not like the frame up where they claimed that Kevin stole $100,000 worth of info, or some such BS). These punks do more real damage each day than Mitnick EVER did.
they are merely doing in a blatant way what ABC,CBS, NBC, Fox and CNN do. Does anyone think there has been any such think as "news" that wasn't bought and paid for, by some entity, since the advent of mass media? The only real game when reading any piece of news is figuring out WHO paid for its placement; sometimes it is an ideological motivation, sometimes financial, often times both. Yahoo is merely being a bit less slick and blatant than the NY Times or USA Today.
If one accepts the proposition that the best use of a computer is as a 'tool for the mind' or an extension of the brain, then it seems that optimal use of this technology is really just an updating of having the owner of the corner bookstore remember that you are, say, a Terry Pratchett fan and letting you know that a new book of his is out, or the local butcher letting you know they got a fresh slab of Mortadella...
IMHO it does come down to trust. Once I trust your integrity, the rest is just details, if I don't trust your integrity then ANY information you have about me is too much.
"The statute defines "unsolicited e-mail documents" as "any e-mailed document or documents consisting of advertising material for the lease, sale, rental, gift offer, or other disposition of any realty, goods, services, or extension of credit" when the documents (a) are addressed to recipients who do not have existing business or personal relationships with the initiator and (b) were not sent at the request of or with the consent of the recipient."
Perhaps not plain english, but as close as legalese gets.
YES!!!
Scum is Scum. They both should be bitchslapped with a telephone pole. Several hunded times.
Hitler didn't kill anybody - directly - either.
Some of us feel that ANYONE who would impair the free flow of information is simply a criminal against humanity. RIAA, DMCA etc are the NUREMBERG LAWS of the anti hacker asshole nazis.

.....slower, much-less user friendly Windows that would be a support nightmare.
And this would be different from a typical new Windows version how?
You'd have to make sure it crashes every few hours.
That is one clean page web page design.
You know, this could be good, vigilante action for profit against spammers, I likes it!

6 GIG? Gee, that's about, what, $12 USD? (yeah, I just bought a 20 gig for $60.)
They'll be on the basses. Everyone knows it's the bassist that saves the day.
I respectfully disagree.

Kevin Mitnick for President.
Since it requires a brain.
