No you moron, they expect you to read the package prior to opening it, SEE the reference to the EULA online. Go online and read it before opening the package..
If you don't agree you can then bring it back and not have any issues because the package is not open.
Where have you been hidding in a hole or something? I have been watching a elite team explore this place every friday night on the sci-fi channel, get with the program why don't you!
It's a new use of technologies
It a mp3 player viable where it never was before
It doesnt invovle implanting
So while it may not be "new tech" it is "New and innovating use of that tech in an area it has never been used before"
Next thing you know your going to say parents shouldn't get excited about having a baby because millions of people have them every day, its just another lifeform in the world nothing else.
They lobby against more then just GPL, they clearly support and finance the push of bills that will restrict the use of opensource in the goverment and other areas.
They claim its because "opensource is not secure" and other reasons..
I say its because "the goverment has large pocket books and policies can be set to affect there buying ability, You can't say the same for the average consumer"
They are doing nothing but trying to "shore up" a sector of business that they can control by using there money and power to bully the goverment around.
One clear problem, a large percent of public officals have no real clue of technologies, When a big company comes up and says "This is bad pass a bill to prevent it" They nod there head and agree because they just don't know better.
We need to get off our geek asses and vote for the people that support jobs in america and all that other stuff but also for people that show they can handle todays technological issues that are becoming more and more important in our everyday life.
Gmail has not published a offical api yet to access there webmail.
Right now these third party apps work by logging into the gmail account and pulling up the records, its just like you going to the webpage and logging in. This requires there system to access and cache every message in your inbox.
Imaging what would happen to the/. servers if everyone tried to post at the exact same time, They would slow to a crawl..
This is what they are trying to prevent, thousands of third party checkers slowing down there system. I would be willing to bet once they have there gmail API stablized they will publish something like they have for the google search API, allowing third party programs to PROPERLY check the system without using excess resources.
CD Burners don't break laws, people do Guns don't kill people, people do Cars don't kill people, people do Software don't break laws, people do Knives don't kill people, people do
Sorry but hello law makers please take reeval your prioritys.. If you want to do something good make laws that keep guns out of killers hands, that keep cars out of the hands of drunk drivers and things like that..
Spend more time protecting the PEOPLE not the greedy big business.
The content of multiple docs seems to suggest it was not misinformation. A large percent of the information would in fact be useless to the average "terrorist" but would truly upset the people whos names are on those docs.
Take a look even further, He even took the time to blank out possible "important" data.. Nothing at all on his website reveals any important information at all.
He has done his best to both protect while providing enough information to maybe just maybe wake someone in washington up.

He made valid and physical attempts to inform the proper people about the issues and he saw no response, no action, he was basically ignored.
Well I bet they are taking notice now.. I would like to see every single person he talked to in the military that did Nothing up on military charges and kicked out of the military with nothing.
No better yet a true example should be set and they should end up in prison for threating the security of our nation.
But your talking a diffrent world, the server world..
In general I was referring to the desktop enviroment and what would happen if linux was the "popular" choice.
Consider this.. If linux was the "popular" choice how many of those linux attacks would affect both desktop and server therefore increasing the server problems?
Do windows servers get attacked more because they are less secure or because the focus is on windows in general?
A lot of the major attacks attacked issues that where present on both desktop and server boxes.
It would react better yes, the threats might not be as bad as the windows ones, But they would be there.
You mention passwords... What password would the average home user have? I bet you would find a ton of boxes with the following issues.
1. One of the top 10 passwords NOT to use 2. If linux was popular boxes would come from every major mfg as desktop systems.. thousands of systems on the internet with default passwords the home user would never change.
I do all development and most of my day to day work on linux, I play games on my windows laptop just so all you flamers know I do use both.
Anyway is linux or mozilla more secure? YES. Why is it more secure? Open Source means better peer review. Are the "margins" of security between windows and linux really so large? I would have to say NO.
Why you say? The machines being hacked and sending out 80% of the spam in the world are home machines, Why? In general the average user fails to keep there machine up to date, opens up email attachments, or does some other stupid action that causes there pc to get infected. This makes home machines open to direct attack. If a majority of the home machines where linux then you would hear more about linux worms and viruses.
Now due to the way linux is they may not be as bad, patches may be releases faster but with the worlds virus and script kiddies focusing on linux instead of windows there would be problems.
Linux users try to place themselves in such high praise, But they can't, You can't praise yourself until you have truly been subject to the same level of attack and focus as windows.
Its a bit more complicated people then saying "Well why not, we can keep our phone numbers now".
The FCC passed the resolution for number portability almost 2 years ago, Its taken that long for the phone companys to set this up and You still can't take your number outside the geographical area.
If you move yes you can keep your number but in reality when you make local calls they will be counted as long distance..
Why? Why can't they move your number from California to New York? Routing, when you dial a number its know that area code XXX goes to this area..
IP's work in the same way except down to a more exact scale. a IP block is routed to a specific network, Just like you can't take a single number and move it to another state, You can't take a small portion of a block and just move it without disrupting routing and causing problems.
Even if you allow companys to keep ip blocks ONLY if they are using a full block of ips the constant breaking up of larger blocks would quickly increase our already troubled routing system.
I do hope the judge does some more research and realizes the flaw in his choice.
Someone is doing something illegal lets charge them for doing it..
And in next weeks news you can kill someone and get away with it by paying enough money..
Oh crap I forgot that already happens in this country anyways so these anti spam ideas are right along our lines of justice.
Give me a break, We have some of the most lax punishments in the world for some crimes and insane punishments for others ( You can go to jail for killing someone and get out in 10 years, Get caught with some dope and you can go to jail for 10 years and come out homeless and bankrupt because the goverment took everything you own claiming it came from drug profits. )
What we need is a reform of our justice system and laws that work and have enough weight behind them to enforce.
Its a fact that while 80% of the spam come from servers outside of the US or hacked boxes, a majority of the spams advertise real world of which most are produced or the money handled by us companys. There are to many spammers out there to stop them all, Our better tactic would be to cut off the flow of money to those spammers..
Example in point, We put more hurt in the war on terror by seizing funds both here and overseas then we have done with all fighting combined. You can't bomb a building if you have no money to buy the materials needed to make that bomb.
Its that simple.. Today we have a ton of people crying wolf, or what ever you want to call it..
Oh my god the goverment knows I flew to hawii and took a vacation, My life as I know it is over...
Fact of the matter though to the people in office its not that simple. When you hold office you have to look at it from multiple points of view.
What is the lesser of the 2 evils, Pushing some minor rights to the side or ensuring another 9/11 doesn't happen.
We voted these people into office, they are doing what we asked them to do.. Serve and Protect us to the best of there ability.
While I do not agree with some of the laws being passed and judgements being made, I do UNDERSTAND them.
To put it in a everyday perspective. You smell smoke on your child, They tell you someone was smoking at the bus stop. Instead of "innocent until proven guilt" You do a "illegal" search of not only the child but you turn there room inside out.
While as a parent you feel right in your actions, your attempt to ensure your child is not smoking, your child feels violated and feels you no longer trust them.
These are the types of choices we as people have to make on a daily basis..
just want some stargate and see what trouble replicating robots/nano machines could get us in..
We do not have to build something smart enough to take over the world.. We don't even have to build something smart enough to learn..
A single machine programmed to take over another machine ( A nice tech to be developed for the military ) is all it would take.
Machine A, Trys to hack machine B. In the combined code has the abilitys of both.. Repeat over and over again and in time it might be able to think and act on its own.
Its sort of kin to programming and various other human tasks..
Take 2 people with 2 diffrent skill sets. Together they could build something that neither could build apart. There tech together might make a doomsday weapon, Apart they are useless.

I agree with you 100%
My motto is very simple
When its cold you can always put on more clothes.
When its hot you can only take off so much before your arrested!
And half the people on here thought it was all the US/FBI's fault, that we are the bad guys..

"Microsofts third open source project"
Does the right nut know what the left nut is doing over there?
One nut is releasing open source projects, The other nut goes as far as to try to make legislation to slow down or stop adoptation of open source.
Sorry Microsoft, you can't have your cake and eat it to.. MAKE UP YOUR MINDS.

Maybe where you live, where I am at there is a waiting list for the Toyota with the waits around a year.
They are selling faster then they can make them right now.
PHP itself including the zend engine is 100% opensource, You can download the source you can browse the cvs to your hearts content and see everything.
The products they produce to support the development of php the closed source.
You do not need to touch, use or otherwise dirty your poor soul with any "non-free" software to use php.
There is nothing wrong with this business model, get over it.

Uhh hello that is pretty much what I am saying..
Microsoft being hacked, cracked and violated has nothing to do with security it has to do with Marketshare. They are the most widespread used.
I do however think if it was reversed the linux problems while they might be as frequent would be less severe.
I do all development and most of my day to day work on linux, I play games on my windows laptop just so all you flamers know I do use both.
