It is a viable model but the pricing is still too high.
If you had RTFA, you would have realized that the article doesn't mention any price. The $.99/song price tag is a mere guess/wish by the story submitter.
"Ironically, the three Kaiser-Wilhelm institutes that were beneficiaries of Rockefeller largesse were to eventually play important roles in the development, implementation and exploitation of the racial programs of the Third Reich including murderous experiments and the exploitation of the dead. Kaiser-Wilhelm scientists joined with the Nazi state in pursuit of the goal of improving the people's health (Volksgesundheit), the major emphasis being on eugenic and racial purification. The resulting collaboration between science and the Nazi state not only legitimized the policies and programs of the Hitler regime it resulted in the exploitation and mutilation and murder of untold thousands of innocent victims by physicians and scientists associated with some of the world's leading universities and research institutes. The participation of scientists associated with the Kaiser-Wilhelm Society enhanced the credibility of the Nazi state's program of scientific terror and murder."
Read the memo a bit more and you will realize that many of the problems they list out are inherent to the current state of the Java platform itself and not just the Solaris JRE.
My favourite station, WFMU, has been archiving virutally all their radio shows since August 2000. The archives are 20.6 kbps RealAudio. According to my calculations that would make around 203 GB worth of archives by now.
Once I get my iPod, that's how I am going to fill it up.
Well at least Apple no longer needs to ship any Microsoft software with all their Macs anymore, which is a Good Thing (TM). After all Office is optional extra software, whereas IE was in the default install.
Here is an Apple article on digital forensics from September. It gives an insight into how digital technology w/o encryption/signing is being used today in forensics.
I agree that it often is necessary to express the license rather explicitly, in order for it to be court-proof. However, how does someone feel to publish something under a license and knowing that over 95% of the users will never read nor understand your license, even though they pressed the "I Agree" button. Sure, it gives you the power in court, but I think it is asocial in a way too. I don't know how or if this problem will ever be solved, but I have yet to be convinced that some lawyer actually made an effort to simplify a license agreement.
How often do poeple on Slashdot talk about turning their friends, kids, granny to Linux? Have they ever thought about making them read the GPL before they touch any Linux?
I for one would suffice with a license somewhat in this wording:
"You may do with this software and sourcecode whatever you want, as long as you give me credit for anything that is based on or makes use of this software."
I think this is a lot more considerate than Creative Common's version of basically the same license.
Still too much legalese for my liking. Just look at their Public Domain declaration. Give me a break.
I think no license is user-friendly if it can't be understood and bothered to be read by a 10-year old. Consider the fact that legally ANYONE SHOULD read and understand the license of every single piece of software they use and the usage agreement of every single website they visit that has one. In present time this is simply impossible.

Here's the link for anyone interested in trying it out.
Here's a real one.
Definitely one of my favorites even though I haven't read Hamlet. The dialog is simply ingenious.
I have to second that. If you liked the theme of Glengarry Glen Ross, you might like O Lucky Man! with Malcolm McDowell.
Nice, but I think this one in written ZT is somehow neater.

Practical Unix and Internet Security is the right book for you. Gives you exact, direct steps to secure your system as well as the bigger picture.
No, not yet. Nevertheless I am still skeptical in regards to the real purpose behind this research. We should not forget what the Max Planck Institute has earlier stood for:

There were recently 2 reviews of this book on the Risks mailing list: a positive one, a not so poitive one, and a reply to the not-so-positive one.
MP3elf is the same, just better (more features), fully open-source and has existed for over a year.

Slashdot had an article on this back in February.
BTW, does this have any connection to the new law which makes it illegal to import movies into Denmark for commmercial resale?

Does anyone remember the MP3 virus hoax a few years ago? I was surprised how many people fell for that one. Looks like this one is no joke though.

If you want to be exposed to unknown artists, then you should tune in to WFMU. You will hardly ever hear a song there which you have heard before.
Switch to Nordea. It works with Mozilla/Linux. Jyske Bank works for Mac, so I think it should work with Linux too.
I use Nordea (Scandinavian bank) and it works fine with Mozilla/Linux even though they say you need Windows and it is not recommended for Netscape 6.
