Rereading what I wrote, you're right. The way I was thinking isn't consistent with what I wrote, though.
I was actually thinking: "No, they wouldn't need to get specific permission for this specific change from everyone who contributed to the GPL version, as they got blanket permission with the copyright assignment."
Which, of course, is pretty much exactly what you said.....
I assume you mean DMV, not DVM.... That's US-centric. The Canadian - or more specifically, Ontario - equivalent is the MTO. They use desktop PCs at every office I've ever seen. That's not to say it's not just running a telnet client to a remote app, but since I haven't seen the screen, I can't tell for sure. Insurance agents around here use the same desktop PC running a thin client app to the remote application. That way, they can also use various internet resources when head office screws something up and the application isn't available. Airport agents....doesn't surprise me, but I haven't flown anywhere for over 10 years now, so it's not exactly fresh in my mind.
GP was answering the question in the body, not the question in the subject line. "Yes" it's legal. "No" they wouldn't need approval of everybody who contributed to the GPL version.
A local pet store has such a setup for their grooming dept. It's a big-box chain, and the service counter has a thin client on it, with the server being, if I've been told correctly, a couple of thousand miles away. Makes sense, as you don't want a dog groomer to have to worry about backing up data and keeping the machine updated with security patches, or have to hire a local IT employee for every store.
Other than situations like this, though, I've never found this setup anywhere else.
Why would you ever want to do this, as opposed to letting the people choose what to run? What possible benefit is there to this plan, other than to centralize and monitor user activity?
Your question answers itself. Brazil's government has seen all these NSA/CSEC revelations about warrantless monitoring of citizen's communications, and they're jealous. But, since Brazil doesn't have the infrastructure in place to do it, they had to come up with another way. Having the citizenry run their applications on government controlled...errr....privately managed servers is a way around it.
Tinfoil hattish? Certainly. But then, that's what the paranoids got called a week before the Snowden/NSA announcement....
I realize you don't need Steam to game on Linux. But it has attracted a lot of attention to Linux as a gaming platform. If Linux fails because of SCOmbies, then the publishers who don't support Linux get to say "I told you so" to the ones that do.
More likely the funding comes from Microsoft, as they are the only entity that benefits by the destruction of all things 'nix.
Antivirus companies, Microsoft consultants, game publishers that don't want to/can't support Steam for Linux..... there are plenty of entities that benefit from *nix failures.
It made perfect sense. Sure, it's obvious that English either isn't the GPs first language, or isn't stressed in whatever school they go/went to. But it's not their fault that you're an illiterate schmuck with no language interpreting creativity....
Headline: "Snowden Is Lying, Say House Intelligence Committee Leaders"
That's not a non sequitur. If he's lying, as the government says, then he didn't break any laws. If he's telling the truth, then he's upholding the Constitution, and ignoring laws which are quite possibly unconstitutional, and therefore null and void.

I think most people would argue that exposing this particular program is not injurious to the public welfare, but rather beneficial. In that case, your logical && doesn't evaluate to true.
I'm guessing the local process control computer may need to be accessed over the network by other local machines. Taking the process controller offline completely would prevent remote access by inept vendors, but it would also possibly make the job the company does impossible. You're only trying to disable *offsite* access to the control machine, not disable *all* access to the control machine.
That being said, my response to the question is along these lines:
You call your vendor inept, because they botched an update, yet you're asking a question that any level 1 network tech should instinctively know the answer to. Either on the process controller system, or your edge firewall, (preferably both) set a firewall rule so that no traffic from outside your local network can access the process controller. If the vendor needs to do an update, you can disable this rule temporarily, after saving backups of all the files/configuration information relevant to the vendor software on the process controller. That way, if the vendor screws things up, you can easily restore to your last working configuration.
The fact that you needed to ask this question in the first place tells me your vendor is not the only inept one.
' I know that already and I have same thoughts like you freedom and respecting privacy, actually Saudi has a big terrorist problem and they are misusing these services for spreading terrorism and contacting and spreading their cause that's why I took this and I seek your help.

Is this a quote from the Saudi government? Sounds like something Canada's Vic Toews would say. Or maybe somebody from Washington D.C.....

I-Tech Maverick SP Powered Parachute"
The first flying card I get in will not be named after wild cattle. It might be name after the most loyal of tame creatures or one of the more sedate birds (preferably one that floats too).
The I-Tech Maverick, by any other name, would still crash as hard.
Actually, a ton is *not* equal to a tonne. A metric tonne, and an Imperial long ton are pretty close, by pure coincidence, but the long ton is about 1.5% larger. If you're talking short tons, which most Americans call simply, a "ton", then the metric tonne is over 10% bigger.
Then there's the mess with American vs. Imperial gallons. The gallon that the rest of the world uses (or at least, recognizes as a gallon) is over 20% larger than the American gallon. That's one of the reasons why people think American cars are so fuel hungry. It's not that they use more fuel, it's just that the measurement is screwed up, in a uniquely American way. It appears American cars use 20% more fuel than they actually do, simply because the American gallon is smaller than the rest-of-the-world gallon.
As a Christian, I agree with this 100%. Many sins have been committed in the name of God, and calling sex a sin is one of them. I mean, think about it: assuming you believe in God, then you also probably believe people were designed and created by God. In that case, sex was also designed by God, so how could it possibly be a sin?
I'm not a US citizen. I don't care about their laws; just the stupid parts that seem to get exported by force to other countries. I remember something mentioned on/. a year or so back, where some US citizen had something shipped to him from another country; some religious artifact if I remember rightly. It was legal to import into the US, and legal to own in the US, but illegal to export from the country it was sent from. He was charged under a US law that makes it illegal to break the laws of any other country. Somebody, presumably from the US, quoted the relevant section of law, and I didn't look it up to confirm it, because, as I said, I'm not a US citizen, and I don't care about their stupid laws. Unfortunately, I can't remember the exact wording, so I can't find it right now, but I'll do some digging and see if I can come up with it.
Ah. Well now, that's much more specific. And British. I suppose I am expected to keep up with all the laws of not just my own country (whose laws are so numerous that even my own government cannot provide an exact count), but all the laws of the other 173 countries (give or take a dozen) as well.
From my understanding, there are laws in the US that make it illegal for you to break other countries' laws if you're a US citizen in the US. Assuming from your "libraries of congress" comment that you are, in fact, American, then yes, you are expected to memorize all those other countries' laws.
Some of them definitely have Secunia PSI installed, but I'm pretty sure some of them don't. That's a good tip, though. I'll check it out and see if it helps. Thanks.
Everyone keeps saying that MSE is lightweight and doesn't bog down your computer, but it seems that more and more often recently, I've seen it max the CPU for a minute or more, for no apparent reason. This is on many different machines with many different configurations, so it's not a single data point,either.
