My vote would be to change the requirement of including to just making sources publicly available. Geez. This has got to be my biggest complaint about Linux distros. They balloon to incredibly huge sizes and a good portion of that is because they have to include the sources. Am I the only one that remembers the old days of a 50MB, usable OS install?
I stepped into this thread expecting something else I guess.
Please, for the love of Snickers, tell me.. tell me that these comments are sarcasam. Seriously people, you're sterotyping yourself. And you're scaring me.
Reason I ask is, there might suddenly be a great buisness model for a company to sell VPN/Secure tunnels to the Internet from you and your ISP connection that *should* be free of these logging requirements if they aren't required by this law/act/decree.
I know that it would be a total netfsck to local networks and the like, but what about removing the.com/net/org/whatever? That way we dont have Big Industries trying to block new TLD's for fear of someone else getting their trademarked name as a domain.
There's little thing called subdomains that could and should be used for internal networks at these companies to segregate inside from out.
Personally, I would rather browse to http://ford or http://buisness.harvard than having to remember the correct TLD extension.
Um, I don't have a cell phone, but mine's on the list.. I have a wireless phone.
Most phones that are out on the market today are dual band (such as the Qualcomm 2760 and the Nokia 6185) and from that list there are only 3 (Audiovox PCX1100XL, Nokia 5180, Sanyo SCP-4000) that use analog only (which is what a 'Cell phone' is: analog).
oh and with the CDMA phones, it only transmits at peak power when you scream into the thing as loud as you can (which I've seen people do;) so I'm not worried.
Come on, you didn't expect something like this? The music industry works just like the mafia.. you want in, you pay for it later. Sony is just collecting their 'tribute'.
I write some music now and then, and while I don't expect to ever make money off of it, I like the idea of my work being protected. Even if most of the bands out there are crap, there are a few that deserve to make money off of their work... even if it is just a few bucks..
Plus, record labels are good for telling the masses what to buy.
