I remember a good article in Time magazine long ago, maybe the early or mid 80's that was IMHO pretty fair.
My ideas you ask;
First off I think you should call it arms control and not gun control. After all everyone supports some level of arms control. Unless you think it's
OK for the people who appear on the show Jackass to
own nuclear weapons.
Make a list off all the arms you can think of, in order of their destructive power. Greatest to least.
Now draw a line, above which you think things are to destructive to be possessed by the people on the Jackass show.
This represents the level of arms control you find appropriate.
The problem is to many people draw the line not for the people on Jackass, but for themselves.
I pointed this out to a buy of mine who I thought
might be interested and he sent me back a link to the maker of the fuel cell module that's used in
the airGEN.
If Microsoft fixes their security and some random
stuff breaks as a result, no big deal, the security fixes need to be made.
However, this would be an excellent opportunity to break your competitor's products. I'm not saying that's the plan, but I seem to remember a
few moves by MS to break competitor's products before.
Either way you go, you better have someone in your
shop who understands the software and how it's setup. Upgrades will happen, someone will have to
perform them and lean enough of the new version to
admin it.
You've already paid for this in the open source case.
For instance, few people (at least outside of/.) would argue that pure copyright laws are unjust.
I see that as a problem. I think we should argue
(to use your term) this very point and not just assume it as a given.
The thing that brought us here together (open source software) is based on a completely different view. You talk about "deprived earnings", maybe it's a simple as this;
Copyright maximizes creators earnings.
Copyleft maximizes the benefit of the creation
Which do "we" want? I don't know, but it seems you don't even want to have the discussion.

No matter which party is in power, it's a foolish to assume that a goverment "science review" board is unbiased. They exist to endorse administration policy, not to give unbiased advice
And it's peoples willingness to accept this, that is the real problem.
If there was no protection to intellectual property, people would not be encouraged to share knowledge with others. Writers would not write, inventors would not invent, artists would not...
Strange but true, before the US Constitution was
written, there was absolutly no writing in the US.
"as long as you love doing it, you'll keep doing it."
Well, the question is, "will someone be willing to
pay you to do it?"
Maybe we'll all have to be Open Source programmers in our free time, and work at the grocery store to pay the bill. But then will have people laughing at us because of our job, when we try to run for pulic office.
It seems to me that if you can solve this problem
in O(n) time then it wasn't NP-complete to begin
with. We shouldn't call things NP-complete unless
we can prove they are.
"Our" internet is
about IRC, Freenet,.org's, and.edu's which will continue to be a community... I hope
"I hope" is right.
For those of us getting access through some means
other than a freenet or.edu this might mean higher prices so our ISPs can write big checks to
Disney, Sony,...
Even if I never visit their content I'm sure the
price for those that do will be evenly distributed
over the ISPs customer base.

Are you an idiot? Do you know nothing about computers? Diligent recovery from this compromise would involve
1) backing up all data on the compromised hard drives, 2) formatting them, 3) reinstalling them from scratch, 4)
sanitizing all the backed-up data, 5) and reinstalling all the backed-up data. Assuming a $150/hour sysadmin,
three labor hours per machine, and 200 machines, that's a direct recovery cost of $90k.
Are you an idiot? Do you know nothing about computers?:-)
Fix one machine and then duplicate it, these
were lab machines. Remind me not to hire this
guy $90K indeed

To answer your question my employer says a minimum
of two weeks a year of training.
I maintain the best way to spend the money is in
a good library. For the cost of a couple of courses
you can get a load of good books. If you employer
gives you the time to read them then your set.
If your employer is bothered by you spending half
a day, one day, reading a book, you need to find a
new employer.
Of course my current employer bought lots of great
book and then promptly locked them away, so they
would not be stolen.:-(

I saw it for $5.99 on the discout rack...
I'd say you get what you pay for, but I got a lot of good O'reilly for $5.99 off the discout rack.
Do I have to go so far as creating it?
What about telling someone else how to create it?
What about just thing about how to create it?

How many books are we talking about? Those out of copyright and not in PG.
If the trend of copyright extentison doesn't end soon that number may reach zero, but how soon is that?.

SearchKing is one of the pioneers in developing portal and search engine software and services.
Which might mean something if they didn't also say
SearchKing began business as an Internet search engine and web hosting company in 1997.
Sorry, if you ask me, all the pioneering work was done prior to 1997.
Almost, how about Sue King.

I'm happy Apple deciede to do so.
