It is government's job to assign the real cost of carlessness back to the folks who allow the problems. I am not for big gov't regulation, but requiring disclosures of security procedures, and a penalty for each customers' data that is lost would get the attention of management quick.
Depends upon who you are talking about. We know
that MS does not have this issue to deal with.
But, it doesn't make sense to those that have an agenda. And they certainly found a group that
would provide 'ammunition' for their agenda.
The questions are framed in terms of privacy issues, not freedom of expression. Most of
the respondents likely didn't even think about
how it could affect themselves personally if and
when they would want to express themselves on a blog.
The kernel development process *has* already changed. The 2.6 series (vs 2.4) really was
able to use BK effectively in conjunction
with those 'control model' changes. Linus
has already said that he doesn't scale. So,
the way it's being handled now is the way it
will likely remain. He's not likely to change
his behaviour because of a tool problem.
He will find a new tool.
No, the government's first and foremost duty is to uphold the Constitution *regardless of the will of any group arrogant enough to call themselves 'the people'.* If 'the people' don't like that little fact, too fucking bad for them.
Except when 'the people' are no longer upholding the
constitution.
It's up to the Judiciary to 'uphold the Constitutuon' these days, because the other branches
of the U.S. government are not.
The Forces Of Evil are now attacking the Judiciary
via Tom DeLay:
"We have unaccountable, out of control judiciary. We are after them," DeLay said.
"The Constitution gives us (Congress) the responsibility to create courts. If we can create them, we can uncreate them," he said.
This is truly scary stuff folks.
All I can ask is that the current judges wake
up and stop this blatant attack on the constitution. These people have no bounds.
Well, sure. They can try to sue you. But by your
own experience, how could they prove that *you* (psychophysically) are
the 'you' (named defendant) that is also 'you' (named plaintiff)?
And if you sue yourself, can you actually win a judgement?

Slashdot Mirror
You can't.

If he dropped VFAT, he could add EXT2 and get some space back for other uses.
FUD with OSes, FUD with Comm.
Do you know where to find one?
I'll bet your answer is 'NO' to each of my questions.
Do a bit of research on this. You will be shocked.

This is slippery slope stuff.
MS stole their GUI ideas.
Then again, Wally is lazy.
No. The mirror grinding was done incorrectly. The gravity effect was taken into consideration.

When there is a better GPL replacement.
Used to. Now the rules and regs are used to help the greedy capitalists.

Remember, when a politician speaks, they are lying.
But what if you are discrimated against because you are pro-GPL for example?
And if you sue yourself, can you actually win a judgement?
Indirectly, it then also becomes a defense against attacks on Linux.
So, it may actually make sense that IBM would sell these patents outright. They have more utility being used by Tivo than directly by IBM.
