Port 80 is not the 'realm' of http. It's just commonly USED for http.
A transparent proxy *does* break standards. You are no longer buying an internet connection, you are buying a filtered, proxied, mutilated internet connection.
That aside, this is not the issue the guy is having.
He's trying to use an alternative DNS system.. but the proxy is using it's own.. so he is hostage to what his ISP wants to resolve things to.
As for standards.. the STANDARD is to route IP traffic, not analyze it, mangle it off to a transparent proxy, and then send it onwards.
Did MS actually *write* xenix, or just license it?
Regarding NT...
First, NT stands for "New Technology". It is a coincidence that "WNT" is offset by one from "VMS".
NT had some of the same designers as VMS.
NT was new. It is not based on unix.
NT *is* cool, and has done some cool things since day one. Do not confuse the NT kernel with the abortion of an operating environment Microsoft chose to build with it. As a kernel, it's very cool in many ways. Yes, I mean cooler than unix.
I see a lot of comments about how it's not "Real" SEAL training.
No shit.
The real messag here is that, in general, we do NOT train ourselves nearly hard enough. People are, in general, in shitty health. We are lazy.
Exercise feels GOOD you know. Hey. I didn't believe it. I've been supremely lazy my whole life. When I hit 22 or so, my standard 130 pounds that never flucutated climbed up to about 200. I finally hit the gym for various reasons.
And what I found shocked me. The first day was hard. It only felt good when I was done. The second day was a day of pain. A week later.. after about 5 minutes of lifting, I *LIKE* it. IT feels GOOD. You do 20 reps of something, push yourself.. and it feels GREAT.
Prior art is something you have to declare in your patent filing, I believe. You have to say what things, if any, are similar to this (the idea is to put your discovery in perspective for the reviewer)
If they can show you LIED on the prior art section... your patent can be overturned.
Also.. prior art means prior PATENTS that are similar.
Yes, they COULD stop the original code form being freely used.. because the original author did not have rights to licence it under GPL in the first place.
Yes. He also tried to open up the root servers at one point, and I believe one of hte major powers semi-involved (netsol?) actually got the FBI involved to ORDER him not to interfere.
Something about him contacting the root servers to organize the addition of some other stuff.
Just because a number is nonrepeating and infinite does not mean it contains every possible sequence of numbers.
It's like saying that if the universe were infinite, then somewehre there is a planet just like this one, but where my laptop is green instead of blue. It just isn't so.
Guess what. So can contracts. So can lots of things.
A contract is a record of a negotiation. A way to show the terms to which all parties agree to. Serious contracts have witnesses also. Some are also notarized by a notary, or other 'important' people. Why? So you can't claim it was forged, or that you didn't understand the terms.
Now... this person with the email. Yes, email is easy to forge. But is the guy claiming he never wrote the emails? No. He isn't denying that he wrote these...
A contract does *not* have to be signed in ink. IT can be verbal. It can be written any which way, and it can be on the internet. In fact, it can simply be "Will you do this" "Yes"
These can all be binding. The point is whether anyone can prove they were real.
It is my understand that, although water is diamagnetic.. you need HUGE magnetic fields to manipulate it. You say that this is common in homebrew watercooling? I really can't see how. It would be neither efficient nor practical.. unless somehow you have a 5 tesla watercooled bitter magnet at home to move that water with..
You mean a bunch of open source beatniks who have yet to get a real job who will simply want to debate "GPL" vs "BSD" endlessly? For the sake of the planet, I hope not.
I look at my laptop. Aside from programming I do with it (for my job).. what do I have running:
Several instances of IE Trillian (irc/msn/icq/ym/aim) a stock ticker Email
These are things I use the computer for probably 90% of the time. And all of them are basically online services. (It doesn't matter to me if they are run locally or not)
Or to put it differently, they are of no use to me without the network.
Keep in mind... tha vast, vast majority of those species are going to be beetles, followed by other insect and "bugs", followed by very, very tiny organisms.
Yes, there may be more heavy, stable elements. There are certainly more heavy, unstable ones (so they only generally exist for a very short period of time. VERY short)
Let me try this another way. They distribute a binary that includes images and artowork, yes.
That binary, as a whole, is a derivitave work of gnucleus. The ONLY thing permitting them to distribute these binareis is the GPL, and by not including the FULL set of data required to build those binaries, they are violating the GPL to the letter.
I'm not bashing them as much as saying that the GPL fails here. Not releasing images is certainly not holding out on progress.. but it DOES Violate the GPL.

Helps greatly with focus every day.

Claimant has a valid trademark dispute
Defendant is not reachable, most likely on purpose
Defendant does have an email address
So you send the mail as a last ditch effort
and then hold a trial in absentia.
How is that not fair?
Yes, they COULD stop the original code form being freely used.. because the original author did not have rights to licence it under GPL in the first place.
And risk getting fired? Yeah. Great advice.
If the office policy is not to use the computers for personal use, then you should damn well follow it.
Yes.

I'm a bit lost here.

He *could* I suppose... but...
IT is *illegal* for them to not provide him with the requested records. He's a director of the company!
So political gain or not, he is right.
I have to agree.. totally. I wish that MD drives had become common place years ago. What's the raw capacity? 128MB?256MB? would have been perfect.
Uhh. what tax is that?
The proposd one that's not going to go through because it is absurd?
Why would cryptographic signatures have made this easier in court? Nobody is disputing the authenticity of the emails.
They are disputing whether those emails constitute a contractual agreement.
Umm.....
Can you cite some urls or something?
I still don't see a common example of this type of mechanism.
Why should they examine ISP logs? Nobody is disputing the authenticity of the emails.
They are disputing whether they should be held to what they said in an email.
Some are saying "email could be forged".

This would also be file-systme specific.
This would not work in ReiserFS. ReiserFS uses that slack space for storing small files.
(I think...)

Really? On what basis?
Yes, there may be more heavy, stable elements. There are certainly more heavy, unstable ones (so they only generally exist for a very short period of time. VERY short)
You are NOT being sold a license when you buy a CD. You are being sold a CD. And the material on it is covered by copyright law. Period.
Actually, it IS illegal.
In this case, apple is not advertising about anything illegal.
Let me try this another way.
