But it's probably an intentionally outrageous proposal designed to be "compromised" down to something less outrageous. All while the administration bashes Iraq and ignores North Korea (publicly anyway).
As for me, I think it's time to use PGP or a related tool at all times. I've honestly been lazy about it. Time not to be.
Everyone who didn't RTFA should. This is about (a) somebody who violated NDA; (b) somebody who was fired for posting derogatory stuff about her employer (if you don't like it don't work there!); (c) a dumbass HR consultant who said moronic things about the First Amendment; and (d) a dumbass journalist who didn't understand the issues at all, including (i) the nature of contracts with one's employer, (ii) what a C&D letter is (HINT, YOU MORONS, IT IS NOT A LAWSUIT), and (iii) the First Amendment.
Yes, but it is of interest to the owner of the magazine, and since it's privately owned, Mr. Forbes gets to decide what he does with his Capitalist Tool.
I don't think so. Lack of job security is no excuse to violate a contract you sign with your employer.
Loyalty and ethics are not the same thing. Think of all those Enron "stars" - loyal yes, ethical no. Flip side is the contractor who quits when he feels like it, but honors your secrets (I've worked with several). I'll take the latter any day.
Hyakutake was definitely the better of the two (and IIRC was visible first). I think Hale-Bopp is better remembered because of its more memorable name.
Exactly. If people put up 802.11 networks this offers them benefits, and others get benefits as well. The fact that big carriers can't make $ off it is actually GOOD for consumers, as there isn't additional cost being added.
I read the FAQ and it seems as if there's some kind of copy protection:
"Will R-Ban require special players? R-Ban is designed for playback with ordinary CD players. It may be impossible to play them on some car stereos, DVD players, etc. that our customers may have."

to the community, if not enough people bought their stuff!

Farr is an HR consultant. You're treating him like a First Amendment scholar, or a lawmaker. Don't.

So just delete it.
if you want to grab the public's attention, show porn. I guarantee that porn will be the killer app for this (remember CU-SeeMe).
Exactly. People just won't buy the crippled stuff (remember DIVX) and it will just fail. The market in action is a great thing.
And editors don't read the stories they post to slashdot. So what else is new?

Sounds good to me. I'll even send them the hats.
Except that .NET has nothing whatsoever to do with this. But don't let that stop you.
And fail miserably. Seriously, if DTV replaces analog in 2006, I will eat my hat.
But in SOVIET Russia, they actually supported the space program.
Congratulations!!
just asking.
I would say the last thing we need is indymedia-by-voice.
rotfl. thank you!

and everything else was plain text. so why, exactly, is this an improvement on today's quite readable webpages?
But now that Comcast has acquired AT&T Broadband, they may well kill this offer.
"Will R-Ban require special players? R-Ban is designed for playback with ordinary CD players. It may be impossible to play them on some car stereos, DVD players, etc. that our customers may have."
So will the CD-R's be "protected" by Label Gate?
