It was never proposed in any of the anti-terrorism legislation. Sen. Judd Gregg mentioned that he didn't like strong encryption recently and hinted at a bill, but AFAIK no bill has emerged from his office. I think key escrow is DOA.
Feingold's a good guy - he co-authored the Senate version of the campaign finance bill that is currently stuck in the House. Maybe a/. interview is in order.
won't a loss of power wipe out all of your data? I remember that you could create a RAM disk on Macs many years ago, and it was kinda cool, until you realized that it would disappear with the inevitable "bomb" hard crash.
Okay, add a UPS and all, but wouldn't this still be much less stable than a HD that you can pull out and ship across the country without it losing data?
I took advantage of the fact that for many of the university courses I took were on-line. Not only were all the course materials on-line, but the
lectures were too. So I would often sleep in and then catch class on my Mac Performa while eating lunch. Guess what? I really regret doing
that. I wish I could go back and kick myself in the head and make myself go to class. I did fine in my classes but I missed out on lots of
interaction, and the ability to ask a question in lecture.
Reading this I am really glad they DIDN'T have distance learning when I was in college 10 years ago. Time spent in class, taking notes, hearing the prof. speek live, asking questions, and so on is so much better than the Memorex version - and yet I can easily imagine being "busy" or distracted enough that I might have chosen the latter.
MIT is doing the right thing to put its course material on line while maintaining the requirement to actually show up. If I were an alum (I'm not) I might kick in some bux for this project. (Not $100M though.)
Buy somewhere that offers an everyday low price then. Such places exist, patronize them! (Wal-Mart, for example, doesn't do much in the way of discounts - of course, you have to drive way out in the burbz to find one.)
Claris Emailer 1.x for Mac. It is the only email client I've seen that connects to AOL AND POP3. Still works today, though I haven't used it for more than playing with it in years.
Of course, I can see why AOL doesn't want people doing this - I used this mainly as a tool for migrating to POP3! I would check AOL email once in a while, and whenever there was anything other than spam (rare) I would reply to it from my POP3 account.
The DRM area is pretty much a patent deadlock area. There is no approach that is not encumbered by multiple patents, even those based on thirty
year old technology.
Good. All the more reason to keep it out of standards.
More kids blathering on about the benefits of recycling. "Look Mom, I recycled my juice box! Don't throw away those toilet paper rolls, it's bad for the Earth!"

(Oh yeah, RAM disks, cool. etc.)
Hey, they drive up pageviews (sorry, GNU/pageviews) so /. loves 'em.

Speak. Damn typos. Need more coffee.

So shall we find a bridge over the Charles River, and measure it in CmdrTacos?
Good point, I would include that in the letters. "Don't ban email!" (On paper, of course.)
Oh, but why? I'm sure Sen. Hollings would love a bunch of random flames and goatse.cx links.

Oh yeah, she doesn't care, just so long as she can keep collecting recording-industry millions.
Your CD purchase dollars at work!
Ever heard of The Phantom Edit?
It made me feel all nostalgic for Quickies, which we haven't seen since March!
(WIMP = Weakly interactive massive particle; MACHO = Massive compact halo object)
Seriously, this is one of the things I hate about Macs. If it's fixed in OS X, I'd almost upgrade.
Which is why you saw the writeup in Salon!
Good. All the more reason to keep it out of standards.
(a) Listen to the voice of reason, as expressed in these emails; or
(b) Ignore the public interest, and try to force RAND down our throats?
"No, Danny, no!"
4. Won't such a fork, which appears inevitable, make W3C completely irrelevant?
