hat you could right-click on any window's title bar and find out which program was responsible for that window. The idea undoubtedly needs some more thought so that programs couldn't hide their responsibility by calling another program to do their dirty work, but I'd guess that including some facility like this would be a lot easier than convincing spyware writers to admit their handywork.
Of course, if it's a DLL that's doing the dirty work, then a right click might simply show: IEXPLORE.EXE (aka Insecure Exploder).
These days, if someone takes a perfect game into the sixth inning, it's mentioned on all the broadcasts of the other games and on any of the "sports news" programs that are on at the time.
Yeah, but the pitcher doesn't watch those. He knows he's got a perfect game (or just a simple no-hitter) going because nobody will talk to him in the dugout.
Side note: I was an assistant coach for my daughter's softball team. In the playoffs, one of the girls threw a no-hitter (not a perfect -- 2 walks, one error), and nobody realized it but me (not even the official scorer at first).
Re:SCO attempting to prove selective enforcement?

FSF Subpoenaed by SCO

· Score: 4, Insightful
And what exactly does the FSF have to do with selective enforcement of the GPL on items they don't hold the copyright to?
Linus and the other kernel hackers have not assigned kernel copyrights to the FSF. Hence, they have no standing to enforce it one way or the other.
Someone on Groklaw put it something like this: I'm a landlord. I go into BusinessDepot and buy a stack of generic lease agreements. A tenant of mine is in a dispute with me, and blames BusinessDepot for "selectively" enforcing the generic lease agreement, and subpoenas them for all correspondence regarding that lease agreement.
My take was that IBM unleashed their Legion'o'Laywers(tm) against SCO was as a warning to anybody else who might want to try to shake them down in a similar manner.
At my daughter's Career Day, I had a chance to talk to a guy who does on-screen computer FX. I told him that most of the knowledgable community thinks that "Movie OS" stinks and is a joke. His comment was that it had to look good, etc....
Ideally, you want to destroy it exoatmospheric, to avoid any issues with shrpanel, hazmat contents, etc...
Second choice, you destroy soon after launch, so the crap falls on the guy who launched in the first case.
Of course, from a "protect yourself first" POV, launch phase interception is better, but if you're concerned about the innocents the bad guy has placed around the launch site, exo is better.
If you're homeless, your stuff gets stolen all the frickin' time. See how much the police care about tracking down the guy who stole it in *that* case. But a mansion in Beverly Hills with 24-hour armed response, noise- and motion-sensitive lighting and alarms, and guard dogs... sure they want to find out who did it, because that guy is *really* dangerous.
<TINFOIL-HAT> No, the police want to find out who did it, because the BH guy happens to play golf with the Mayor, who pressures the Chief of Police to "catch the bastards who did this". Has nothing to do with the percieved danger of the burglar. </TINFOIL-HAT>

System 5, I think. . . Which SCO owns.
Claims to own. Novell has other opinions.
Spyware company: But if we don't get no tolls, then we don't get no rolls!

Re: mdk's package installation
Have you *tried* urpmi? Or (for the GUI minded) rpmdrake?
You might want to mention that to the Republicans who blocked a hell of a lot of Clinton's judicial appointments.

Yeah, but what about Canadian units?
does anyone know what the official MPAA position is on what you're supposed to do when you move to a different continent
Yes, and they even put it into one of their films... "SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!"
He actually said more, I just don't remember it.

The House web site has a contact your congressman page, where you plug in your zip+4 and it tells you who to write to.
I doubt if the bill said
"This gives the RIAA the power to ass rape anyone they see fit"
Of course it does. Who the hell do you think wrote it?

Congratulations, you just made the economic case for this device.
Problem with small arms fire is the warning time frame.
An inbound missile usually gives a few minutes (radar). With a sniper shot, the first indication is the bullet itself, since it's supersonic.
So could he be nailed on a DMCA violation?

I guess not, since it requires an effective access control mechanism
