indeed. what's to stop you taking a GPLed piece of software, extracting the bits you want from it, and wrapping a non-linking API around it (eg, TCP/IP, SOAP, HTTP, CORBA, COM, etc...), re-publishing that as a GPLed derivative, and then using that non-linking API to talk to the GPLed from your non-GPLed software?
for example, let's say I want to produce a commercial (non-GPL) Windows application that requires some image processing features. i could, in theory, take the source for the GPLed ImageMagick, remove the command-line code, add some simple COM wrappers, release the source for all that on my web-site and then ship and use those components with my non-GPLed software.
colordao, georgia? it seems that unlike the 'californias' of the union there are some states that have worked out that cutting spending is a much better way of balancing the budget than increasing taxes especially during the current economic depression.
windows already has this, it's called WMI. the remotable command-line tools, the MMC GUIs and the scriptable COM interfaces all use this for remote administration.
yup, spambayes get's my vote too. the integration with outlook is excellent and once you've got it set up you don't even notice it (apart from the fact you're not getting all that spam anymore).
I'll believe in the "God" thing you're talking about on one condition: the only attribute that "God" has is that it is the thing that's responsible for the creation of the universe.
I see no proof for any of the other things that are commonly attributed to "him".

most of the problems in telecoms come from the local loop monopolies and the regulations that try to get around those monopolies.
The washington think-tank CATO held a conference on 11/14 called "Telecom and Broadband Policy
After the Market Meltdown" where they invited industry analysts to debate the effectiveness of industry and government to solve the complete fuck-up that is home broadband in our time.
The American telecommunications sector went into a freefall in 2002. Telecom stocks tanked as once proud industry giants and smaller carriers alike were financially decimated. Numerous providers were forced to declare bankruptcy. And the reverberations were felt well beyond the boundaries of the telecom sector as upstream and downstream industries took a hit as well.
What were the causes of this market meltdown? Was it driven purely by misguided corporate decisionmaking and bad business models, or is public policy more to blame? The Telecommunications Act of 1996 was supposed to rejuvenate this sector by encouraging increased competition, innovation and investment, but most industry watchers have been dissatisfied with the sluggish pace of change.

yeah certainly they deserve to be called stupid fools but since it is the virus writers express desire to have the user open the message and unknowingly propagate said virus the blame falls squarely on the writer and not at all on the receiver.
you can't trick someone into killing for you and then expect to get away with it.
if microsoft sold outlook as 'a 100% secure' product then I'd be pissed off, and I'd probably sue for fraud. but they don't so I take it upon myself to avoid viruses.
besides, it' not like outlook is the only product that viruses writers use to spread their wares. the argument that it need special legal attention because it does so (allegedly) more than other products is fatuous and against the guiding principles of the judiciary.
not really. as long as they don't fraudulently claim that it defends 100% against virus attacks then I don't see they've done anything wrong. it's like blaming the manufacturers of boxcutters for the 9/11 attacks.
if you use J++ to its best advantage, the "java" it cranks out doesn't run on anything else but the MS java engine
this is true of most java vendors that supply their own proprietary libraries.
i'd say that x86 processors are as much to blame for the spread of viruses than outlook, ie not at all. the real culrpits are the virus writers. don't blame the messenger.
I don't see any reason that the government should be able to take half of it when they've already taken half of their money beforehand in sales, income, and property taxes.
amen to that. (not forgetting social security taxes whose benifits are taxed at 100% when they die)

yeah, it looks like the Mothers In Constant Revulsion Over Sons On Frequent Truancy website has been taken over by a large software and games publisher.
no, i didn't because they're drivers (they run in the executive) and are not part of the kernel.
windows has had all of this since win2k. the security model is based on kerberos.
windows already has this, it's called WMI. the remotable command-line tools, the MMC GUIs and the scriptable COM interfaces all use this for remote administration.

better to use something like spambayes that learns from your actions and doesn't depend on external decisions, corruption and mistakes.
I don't trust any serivce that requires lists like this - they're open to corruption and mistakes.
Use something like spambayes an open-source bayesian spam filter that allows you to define what is and isn't spam.
