The Law is that if it looks underage without definitive proof otherwise, it can convict you. This hold true even for fiction, like say a cartoon. So if say youu have some hentai anime and the Judge/Jury decides the "heroine" is underaged and not just a small asian woman, then you are guilty of possesion.
Have you viewed any European girls? Seen images of 18--19 yearold teens? Any of them look a bit shall we say immature? Just appearing to be underage can qualify a photo as child porn. Even worse, the Law makes no distinction between 10 and 17 in age. How wold you like it if you got convicted of Child porn fo view images of girls like Gauge? In many images it would be questionable if she was underage. Take a lesser known girl and you could be in a world of hurt.
It is still quite a possibility. Child porn does not have to be actual child porn. If an image of an immature looking twenty year old is found, it can be enough to convict you.
Or just run Linux to begin with. Yeah it is often easiest to just Format a Windows system rather than deal with the seemingly infinite number permutations of problems. Yet with Linux, I still have the same Home partition from 1999. Because of a Hard drive replacement, my Mandrake install only goes back to 8.2. Incremental upgrades of a Gnu/Linux OS versions is about the same as running service packs from MS.
Wrongo. If they look under the legal age of consent (18 in most jurisdictions, better believe that will be used to try you), then it is labeled kiddie porn. Have some pics of Gauge in pigtails? That could get labeled as kiddie porn.
Likely the pictures that got him convicted were likely some some sixteen year old girls from Europe. A number of Europena countries have lower ages of consent. Then top off that if a twenty year old girl with small breasts and a youthfull face can be considered child porn because the law goes by apparent age in photographs.
And if instead I bought a cheap RIO? Or don't use an Apple approved OS? I use Linux so what options do I have? You are not willing to support me, then screw you. I don't bother with any file sharing, but neither do I buy new music.
Of course one could just think of these suits as really expensive Halloween costumes. Look at me, I'm a Cylon. I suspose one could also go as a Power Ranger.
Maybe the average computer will not do more. The average computer user seem to have problems using email without getting viruses. They can not rip mp3's. They get confused using software that that is about as simple as it gets to convert a digital camcorder to a DVD. Both Apple's iMovie and Sony's Click to DVD boil down to little more complex than a "push here dummy" button. The only thing that an average user wants is to have a computer that wil do the thinking for him.
Actually, there are 6 genes that control skin pigmentation if my memory of human genetics is correct. Caucasians will have 1-3 genes and Blacks have greater than 3. Albinos of course have none. Brown and blue eyes are a single set of genes. Take a few genes like this as genetic markers and it would in theory be possible to profile someone's race by thier DNA.
Currently it would be unfeasible, but it probably won't be that long before it is possible. It is more likely that we will be able to profile someone for being carriers of various genetic diseases. Woman X is say a carrier for hemophilia, or person Y is predisposed to bowel cancer.
A number of record software suites support multile drives recording in sync. A full tower case with a bank of SCSI cdrw drives could be a fairly decent way to produce a bunch of CDs in a short time.
Try Abiword. Have them send you *.rtf docs instead. Different verions of word mangle layouts. I would not let that stop one from using OOo or some other Office Suite. Besides save your stuff as RTF and if necessary rename the extension as.doc, MSWord will open it fine. (BTW Abiword does this automatically if choose save as word *.doc option).
JV originally claimed that real soon now Linux Users could legally watch DVD movies. This was how they blew off fair use arguments for DeCSS. Why would anyone neeed to circumvent that, we wil let you legally do it. Yet they stil haven't. (Actually it seems that one can just now do it on Turbolinux but...)
To put it into very simple terms, why should a few Hollywood guys get to limit the rights of a few engineers?
Sun seems to be playing a bit fast and loose with the GPL. When Lindows/Linspire did similiar things a year or so ago, people called them on it. Now PJ is doing the same.
Sure, SUN does some nice things for FOSS. I am grateful for OOo. They have done some despicable things as well, like paying SCO, but there are other things too. Now SUN has gotten paid off by MS. Let's see here, the last couple of times a FOSS friendly company got a bail out from MS, they dropped FOSS like a hot potatoe. Remember Corel Linux (Now Xandros and Linspire)? Remember Corel WP for Linux? Remember AOL and Netscape/Mozilla? AOL dropped Netscape and cut loose Mozilla. See a pattern? I predict in a years time that OOo will be spun off and Star Office will be swept under the carpet. Within five years SUN will be in the same position as SCO was at the beginning of 2003. We'll see if they try the same Lawsuit craziness.
Mandrake and urpmi --auto-select (Ithink that is the command and I am not at my home computer right now) and a cron job and I forget about security updates. I raan DrakeUpdate and just to make sure last month and there were a couple of bug fixes but all the security updates were done.
On Linux I have a seperate/usr/local/ and/home/ partitions so when I upgrade (should never need to reinstall), I can keep the few custom programs without changing a thing. For my personal account,/usr/local/bin/ is a part of the PATH so everyything just works. Only once because of new versions of GCC did I need to recompile something.
Also check out books. The library keeps track of what books get checked out and what genres. They corelate this stuff and order more books of that type.
I remember one Summer home from college I was home from college and checked out just about every Sci-Fi/Fantasy book at my local branch. The following summer they had a much larger variety of new books. I asked the librarians about this and they mentioned that last year they saw a large increase in checkout of Sci-Fi/Fantasy ans so they ordered more of this type. this had a ripple effect of more New SCi-Fi on the new books shelves so more people checked them out and it snowballed.
Also, just because thhey don't haave a particular book on the shelf, doesn't mean the county doesn't have it somewhere in the system. If the county doesn't have it, check with your Librarian, they can always order it out of system. It does help if you are a regular patron too.

What if you have no internet access or ftp is blocked or no text mode browser or wget or ftp installed?

Apparently the UK just passed a similiar law.
There have been several cases in the past couple of years. I think a couple might have made slashdot. Things have gotten a bit worse under Ashcroft.

See, the problem is if you run IE. Even if you get an xpi popup in Mozilla, you still need to click something to get the spyware installed.
What, are we going to have 3D word processors? Play a game of Q2A to kill a process? Or have 3D File managers? Maybe Superior Speech Recognition?

I run GNOME on a 366 Celeron and 192MB RAM. It works fine. I mainly use it for browsing the net in and easy chair and some light WP.

It is easy enough to hack the XBOX USB ports to accept standard USB items. It is literally just a proprietary plug shape, electrically it is the same.
Linux on Xbox project shows that a desktop OS can be installed.

Not the acknowledgemnt, but creating new incompatibilities with existing software.

One of the filings by IBM was request for documents from the Canopy Group. So IBM is hunting for proof to take out the Masterminds behind this.
