Not exactly, most companies which use encryption products like PGP, will enforce the use of an Additional Decryption Key (ADK) which will encrypt all messages to this key also, so when the lawyers ask for the messages, they will have to be decrypted. No 'ifs' or 'Buts' I'm afraid.
Not yet they don't. You should read up on BG "vision" of dot Net etc. You are soon gonna have the idea of "software as a service" rammed down your throat. Its coming allright.
Its expensive yes, but at least there is _some_ competition in the market from the likes of NTL which provide Cable modem acess in a few cities.
I thought it was bad, then I moved to Paris a month ago. I not only have to put up with a stupid keyboard, rude assholes everywhere you go or a confusing choice of cheese, I can get a telephone from ONLY ONE SUPPLIER, France Telecom, the equivalent of BT (NO COMPETITION WHATSOEVER), cable companies don't do phone services as all the lines belong to FT. I can get ADSL for about £45 per month, yet again, a product from ONLY FT as the cable companies have silly upload/download limits, and after a certain amount, you start paying per the Mbyte.
So to cut a long story short it ain't as bad as you think in the UK. BT are monopolistic pricks yes, but they don not have _TOTAL_ control of the market as FT has.
BTW, There is no point bashing porn or geeks, you sound like a politician who wants to be seen as "the pillar of the community", but in the privacy of his home, enyoys those things he "finds" morally wrong like wife-swapping or boning younger men.
If you were caught jerking off to your favourite pics at goatse.cx, you would be prosecuted for *distribution* of obscene material.
Now, who would you rather be at the jury, some bible bashing christian with a degree, or Jon Doe with his equally large selection of pics (without the degree)?
Remember that the jury would have to decide whether the material was obscene/corrupt/etc
I stand by my original assertion that juries should be representative of society and not selected by education.
I think we need to ensure that people serving in the jury have a minimum of education to ensure that they can weight the evidence in a rational manner. This would ensure that the facts are the most important part of the case, rather than the words of a fancy lawyer. In the end, this can only led more a more just court system.
No, people in the jury should be representative of the society in which we live in, so that they make decisions on what is acceptable to them, a section of society, not what is acceptable to one's person's beliefs and opinions due to their education, ie: the judge, or some stuck up bigoted twat who "has been to university".
He does seem to leave it as "make what u want of it", but the downside of this (from MY point of view) is the lack of an open/trusted encryption suite such as what the PGP SDK offered. Unless NAI continue to provide full source for the SDK, that is.
Oh well, time will tell.
On a different note, does anyone know of a product which offers the functionality of the PGP SDK? (Please don't point me to GNUPG)
BTW, I did spell "depa[r]ture" correctly in my submission;-)

. Either way, if someone wanted to make absolutely sure that the CLX could be included with distributions that have a strict meaning on the term "free", I'm sure decoding the.dfm format would be the only major obstacle (and who knows, maybe Kylix uses text files instead of binary files, making it even easier).

Man, get over it !
If you have the delphi source handy look up the function ObjectBinaryToText (sommut named like that I don't have Delphi handy right now), its in classes.pas I think. It allows you to convert dfm to text and vice versa with TextToObjectBinary.
Now will you stop whinging about the DFM format!:-)

So did I.
Needless to say, in their rush to beat Half Life to market, they released a load of buggy crap. With the tons of patches which followed, the game got much better.
It was a pretty good game and is definately worth buying.
Believe me when I say that I have looked at the source, but quickly lost interest through the sheer size of the code base.
No they don't owe me Jack, but I like many others would have been much happier had they concentrated their efforts *first* on the browser, then afterwards concentrated on the "other stuff".
Why you getting such a hard-on about my comments anyway? You in the mozilla team?
I ain't bothered downloading it and I won't until I hear better comments, I'll stick with M18 for the time being.
Why the h*ll they still insist on developing all that add on crap themselves, I really don't know. That's what really yanks-my-chain about the Mozilla project. Instead of just concentrating on developing a BROWSER, they have to (1) Waste time developing add on junk (2) bundle a load of garbage which no one will use. What's so difficult about "coming to an agreement" with a third party developer to bundle their product (Chat/News/E-Mail whatever) with Mozilla?
Had they taken that approach, we *might* have a decent browser by now.
These countries for a short while will thrive on the lack of copyright laws and will be a heaven for "pirated" Music/software/Video etc, but as time will go on, they will get pressure from Western countries to tighten up their copyrihgt laws in exchange for "development" funds and other sweetners.
Some countries (especially Arab) will obviously give the US the 2 finger salute, but even so I don't think the situation will last forever.
We will have to wait and see how companies like Havenco get on...

I assume you are not using Win2k. This "feature" has been removed from the OS, and I sometimes find it annoying that some windows do not Pop-Up when expected
the short answer is : "not by much"; Syntatic sugar like properties referencing functions/procs/private data and "events" (aka method pointers) have been in delphi since version 1.
We all know who devised Delphi & C#, I am just suprised C# is getting this much attention when its all been done before, and now its an MS innovation, there is a big song and dance about it...
Well one thing is for sure, MS Marketing deserve their dollars.
