Local monopoly with regulatory oversight and regulatory burden and mandatory universal access is good. It requires coverage for all while preventing others from picking the high paying customers and servicing just them.
Ugh, no.
The regulators end up being captured by the monopoly.
The French experience is that internet service is not a natural monopoly and that regulated competition gives the best and cheapest service.
Lastly, you've dodged this question twice already, but I'll try for the third time. Was Captain Steven Hiller — Will Smith's character in "Independence Day" — a war-criminal
I am attempting to forget that I ever saw that piece of crap. Your continued references to it are triggering flashbacks. Please stop.
There is no word "infrastructure" in the entire document.
Fucking illiterate cretin:
In order to ensure respect for and protection of the civilian population and civilian objects, the Parties to the conflict shall at all times distinguish between the civilian population and combatants and between civilian objects and military objectives and accordingly shall direct their operations only against military objectives.
Most of a country's infrastructure has dual — both military and civilian — use, which makes its destruction a legitimate military objective;
So if soldiers drink water, so a waterworks is a legitimate target? If soldiers fall ill is a hospital a legitimate target?
The killing of civilians was not the primary purpose of Rico's raid.
True, the primary purpose of the raid was not to kill civilians, it was to terrorise them.
Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.
The document you cite was written in 1977 — 18 years after the book was published.
No, it was not written in 1977. It was adopted in 1977.
How about we go back to the 8th of August 1945? That early enough for you?

The way this worked when I was working for a big company was that the people who did the final build weren't the developers, and the build team only worked from the checked in versions of the code.
People seem to have got a lot sloppier these days.
I don't understand your point. The GPL doesn't say you have to send your changes upstream (that's just politeness). The GPL says that if you release binaries you have to make the corresponding source available.
If you ever find yourself in the situation where you can't re-create your binaries from source you've fucked up big time.
The Z80 OTOH was clearly better than all the others. To this day I find it had an elegant design.
Ugh no, The assembly language looks ok-ish, but look at the instruction lengths and timing for anything using IX or IY, and tons of undocumented instructions that may or may not work on different versions of the chip.

You know want to know something that didn't last?... Dark star... I think is what it was called. It came out after starwars from warner brothers as a me too movie. And it died and no one remembers it.
I think you may be confused -- Who could forget Dark Star.

The other major change is that security sites are starting to actually TEST Linux
What does heartblead have to do with Linux? This bug was present on all platforms that had OpenSSL.
For example:
Microsoft Windows ....
MacOS
BSD Unix
Linux
VMS
Heartblead could have been found earlier if the person writing the code for the heartbeat option had read the RFC describing the heartbeat option.
The RFC explicitly described the error case that resulted in the heartblead bug and said that the implementation SHOULD check for it.
This all gets wierder when you realise that the person who wrote the code was the same person who wrote the RFC.
Please, cite the relevant laws and/or conventions, that make this raid a war crime.

The 6502 was years before the 6802 or Z80
6800 - November 1974
6502 - 1975
z80 - July 1976
6802 - March 1977
Things went faster in the past.
Have you never read the book?
Rico participates on an attack on a Skinny city -- destroying civilian infrastructure and killing civilians with no military objective. This is a war crime.
Marshall Law? Who he?
Maybe you mean Martial law, after Mars, the god of war.
(Avoi marital law).
What's bleak in Starship Troopers? Maybe tbe "hero" being a terrorist who participates in attacks on defenseless civilians with no second thoughts?
Damn, but you guys are slowing down -- I was expecting something like this as first post.
In Atlanta people would have been identified as outliers if they didn't cheat.
Probably just a troll. Possibly insane.
Of course not, I'm a hypocrite -- aren't you?
Competition is the key.

I just told 'em -- Facebook means cut out of my will.

Well, you're not going to get a job chez moi.

My boss made a linkedin profile -- took him months to get rid of it. Worse than MRSA.
It was that if [the Copenhagen interpretation of] quantum theory was correct that that would be the absurd conclusion.
