    Exactly : the EFF can only be heard as a benevolent counseilor, not as something more legitimate... at this moment...

  2. Re:that space would almost fit two cars on Linux-Powered Auto-Parking Car · · Score: 3, Informative

    When I was in Germany, they'd fine you if you 'd let less than a meter between your park and the next so it might be the worst still legal situation in Sweden too.

    Because some spammer might propose more money + no spam in exchange of their safety...

  5. Re:Will they allow VOIP? on T-Mobile Launches GSM/802.11 Phone In Germany · · Score: 1

    They might, especially because somebody else might develop the component instead.
    Now, I guess GSM has its advantages (not sure but I'd say better range, etc.) so it might not be obsoleted at once.

  6. Re:they should get a clue on Court Says Customers May Take IPs Away From ISP · · Score: 1

    Except your comparing a physical impossibility to a virtual eventuality. As somebody else wrote, you can indeed keep a phone number while changing company...

    I saw Mozilla's icon along with the word "update", I then wonder if they also added a new feature ? ;)

    Then should act so that it is impossible to even surf to these sites while there's no proof they've safe again.
    The non disclosure stuff is more dangerous and hurting for the majority than it is for the few company who inadequately protect themselves.
    I do not like the way the Law works, in USA, it sounds like people's priority is somehow lower than companies'.

  14. FUD ? on Corporate Servers Spreading IE Virus [Updated] · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They don't mention that much names.
    I however think that besides nda policy or whatever, they should give the names of the sites that should be avoided for security reason.
    I'd personally advise the corporate DNS maintainer to redirect these to somwhere safer.

  16. How I do on Response to Gordon Cormack's Study of Spam Detection · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I set many aliases to my official email and I gave all of these to and only to spammers.
    So, whenever I get a mail more than 95% similar to a mail that I know is a spam, I dump it.
    This combined with Apple's Mail.app Bayesian filter and there may only be a few spams left.

    Why is this a Flamebait ?
    Has somebody shit in the moderator's cereals ?

    We are supposed to be a community, we have knowledge of P2P and IRC, we have huge allies such as Google, so I am just stating the obvious : if we could write Messenger clients that could work upon existing protocols, why not develop them a little further to use ours improved ones ?

    When will other client's editor write their own server then ?

    Linux killed OS2 which was already endangered by Windows.
    Linux killed Novell Netware.
    Linux killed Irix.
    Linux killed many alternatives to Windows, in fact.
    So Linux is a threat to non-Free software makers.

    A lot of the world is anti-US.

    Or maybe it's just the US which is paranoid because as far as I see here in Europe, we just pity you for having such corporation, or testosteron-driven presidents.

    Really : we like American people, we felt sorry for you when 2 planes hit the WTC, we even told you at this time, if you do not remember how compassionate we sincerely were, then you definitely have a problem.
