The point of the key is to guarentee the that the code came from Red Hat
Yes, and the license differentiates between the two. In the real world this signature is not required to run the code, therefore you don't need to get the key. You are required to distribute everything necessary to run a locally modified/compiled executable.
Now if Red Hat distributed some GPL3 software, and it only ran on MonoSoft 15215 processors, and the MonoSoft 15215 only ran signed binaries, then distributing the tools required to sign the binaries is required, because by targeting the 15215 they chose to use a DRM-encumbered platform that required signing to execute software. If they don't like this, their choices were A) don't code for the 15215, or B) don't use GPLv3 code.
Now, the key doesn't have to be the same key used by Red Hat, they could distribute an alternate key, as long as signing the binary with the alternate key also allows it to run on the 15215 processor.
Except that when you're going to be employed, you get the contract first. Ideally, they'll even have the handbook upfront as well. Most places will even negotiate a little on the contract. Maybe instead of banning you from working again for a year afterwards you can get it down to a reasonable 6 month "sabbatical".
They just put winning elections ahead of national security.
I'm so glad we have those Republicans running things. They've got the good sense to know that the proper priority is to put corporate profits ahead of national security. Just think of the hotels and farm megacorps, how their bottom lines would be absolutely terrorized if the government had actually bothered to close up our borders and keep all the cheap labor out. And those people volunteering to defend our borders like the government should be? Good thing Bush "showed them". Man, the nerve of those people! Forming a well-regulated militia to defend our land from invaders, what were they thinking?

You'd be able to play on any server, with the same character.
But unless theres a LOT more backend work than you're talking about, you'll only be playing with whoever logged into your server at that time, which is part of the complaints about server splitting from the player's prospective. Plus, the servers are self-contained worlds, which is part of what makes just letting people transfer at will problematic on Blizzard's side as well. If you slay the King of All Evil (or whatever) and this is supposed to make a permanent impact on the world, what happens when you log into a server that still has its King of All Evil? Do you get to kill him again?
Seriously though, Chuck Schumer's staff illegally obtained a credit report on Michael Steele. Where were Slashdot's pretend privacy advocates then?
Oh wow, the democrats invaded privacy too. Is that the New Republican party platform? "We wish we were Democrats?" or can you come up with a better defense for this behavior?
(No. Without income taxes, you wouldn't get to spend money you didn't earn.)
As if I get to spend any of that money I didn't earn anyway, it's all been disappearing into the middle east.
Love your illogic though. Clearly only socialists complain about privacy, the conservatives are too busy studying for their CD quizzes so they can keep their overlords happy.
how does the weak dying make the stronger any better than they were before?
That depends. Were they weak because of a mutation that made them grow one leg backwards? Was another squirrel stronger because of a mutation that allowed it to stand on two legs?
question the validity of the scientific method just as intensely as they question ID, or 6-day Creationism, or Flying-Spaghetti-Monsterism.
You're comparing apples and oranges here. Or more specifically, yardsticks and yarn. If you think you're being sold short on your yarn, you don't argue that the yard is an "arbitrary" measurement and that you believe it should be longer than what everyone else thinks. Likewise, the scientific method is the process by which science is measured.
Incidentially, there are fields that "do away" with the scientific process, however doing so doesn't give you creationism any more than throwing away all of your rulers makes your house a mile on edge. Instead, you can choose from various philosophical disciplines as well as various fields of metaphysics, and found your Intelligent Design there.
The bigger question really, is that if it was "just a flaw" that made the "null" part of the email appear, where did the @vtext.com part come from? I could see "just a flaw" on the vtext.com server reassigning invalid emails to null, where they'd be delivered @vtext.com, but that would still require the messages reaching the vtext.com MX in the first place. This makes eMbience's explanation make no sense, unless they used null@vtext.com before this student did, and he's just getting those leftover emails now... but just how many people/companies could have been null@vtext.com over the years?
If it is not possible for other machines that run Red Hat code to exist, then it's clear that Red Hat is designing the code for a specific architecture that requires signing, and therefore is required to distribute the key so that you can sign modified binaries yourself.
Back when I was a strapping young lad, all it took to get an internship was dedication, hard work, enthusiasm, and a perceivable desire to learn your trade. And your father knowing a guy in HR.
Nowadays, it seems that internships which used to be the proving grounds of new minds and places to get that critical initial real-world experience have joined the rest of the technical entry-level jobs: requiring 8 years of experience with references. And your father knowing a guy in HR.
So, for the next two or three years, start working on projects. Make tangible contributions (my name is stuck on a few simple bugfixes and a patch to a game to make the arrow keys work, not that impressive) to a number of medium to high-profile projects. Meanwhile, start some projects of your own. Through all of this, understand your limitations. If you google your name and a flamewar on the devlist over including your code comes up, this is not good. Likewise, if you're touting your awesome GTK mediaplayer on your resume, and googling you comes up with you begging for help on GTK, media, and playing comes up over the span of most of your project's life, thats not good either.
And drop hints to your father about vacation plans to IBM's headquarters and how he'd love to get to know the people there
Yeah, I just read it a second time, and I'm not seeing the part where I get to push the button myself after I get out of the military. So, it's either back to the military and hoping I join the vast minority to have had someone "push the button" to give me Secret clearance (and retiring sometime before actual retirement age so I can actually use the clearance), or hoping I get a job from someone who can push the button for me because I'm that much better than someone else who has already had the button pushed (before my clearance runs out because it can't be renewed unless you currently need it or have pending assignments that will need it).
Or... I could work for a couple of years or so in a job where people aren't trying to (openly, anyway) kill me.
By the way, "The vast majority of military personnel are given this very basic level clearance" (regarding Confidential clearance level). Punching "confidential clearance" into monster.com shows 2 jobs and a third posted requiring secret clearance and ability to obtain confidential clearance (good going HR). Punching "secret clearance" or "top secret clearance" or "ts clearance" in gets me "more than 1000", 430, and 47, respectively.
So yeah, I looked into it. Got any more hot career tips?
If you have a security clearance, you can go to jobs fairs where they serve caviar!
I was *this* close to getting a job that would have gotten me a security clearance. I aced their skills tests, wowed the interviewers (by the time I left, they were telling me how great I was instead of the other way around) and was in generally high hopes as I walked out, until I got a letter a week later thanking me for interviewing but the job went to someone else. I assume to someone else who already had that clearance and who could have been put to work immediately, rather than left to sit around doing mundane tasks for months while the clearance goes through.
So now that I'm comfortably employed, I've got a suggestion for the entrepreneurs out there: Since the US Government makes it impossible for an individual to obtain a security clearance, start a company that does nothing but security clearances. "Hire" people to write programs at cut-rate wages, with the understanding that the low salary is paying for the service of getting cleared to work in a better place. Outsource that work pool to American companies as a high-quality alternative to the overseas offshoring crapshoot.
must each person be diligent in making sure that their not being victimized.
Oh? And what's your solution to this? Should I call all the banks, jobs, and universities I've ever dealt with and beg them to tell me whether they're keeping my information safe for me? Ask them to promise, pinky swear, to destroy all the copies of my records so they can't fall into the wrong hands?
On the consumer side, there is no proactive solution to the kind of identity theft that happened in this case. All you can do is keep getting your credit reports and checking for outstanding traffic tickets issued on a phony license in your name, while hoping that nothing horrible shows up.
What about the privacy of the people who submitted their email addresses?
The purpose of this case was to determine if the Mayor had been misuing those addresses in the first place. Those people might have liked to know that their privacy had been violated by the people they had submitted it to. Two wrongs don't make a right, but if the first wrong turns out to be true, the second in this case sure goes a long way towards providing the information necesssary to fix the first.
This is actually pretty interesting, and will probably get lost in all the whining over China. The really interesting part is that now that I know this video exists, I am unable to determine a reason behind its censored status.
I could understand if it was a video showing soldiers being blown up. I could understand if it was a video showing how to assemble an IED. But a video showing coalition forces detonating an IED before it could kill anyone? If someone's got a reason for this, let me know.
It's not about the Bush adminstration, they would outright sieze the information.
Ahahaha that's what they're trying to do. That's what Google is fighting, a subpoena for the information. Never mind that there's no court case, trial, or even charges against a person being researched for evidence, the government just wants to seize the information.
If its "so easy" for me to search for the term pedovoyeur then why doesn't the government? If the government doesn't know what to search for, why doesn't it do some research?
Google is being asked to prove that its searches don't assist child pornographers.
No, see, that is not at all what the government said. The government publically said that they are looking to see how easy it is to find porn (not child porn) online so that it has the evidence it wants in order to argue that netnanny and the like can never be perfect (gee, they need to strongarm Google for this? Ask some 15 year old boy!). Of course, after decades of lies, what's one more? My question is, why do you assume that if the government has to lie to cover up their deeds, why do you believe that they're doing something that's so nice?
What I dont understand is why you cannot believe that at least some part of the American Government actually cares about it's citizens, and is doing it's very best to protect them.
If the government has such honorable intentions, why must it lie to the public and claim it's trying to see how easy it is to find porn?
I am confused as to why why you feel any concern over the goverment investigating them
What is there to be confused about? The government has no authority and no real power to do this. There is no court case, no criminal proceedings, no valid ground to issue a subpoena at all. There's still no explanation of just what the government is really after here, and why they gotta have it so bad, they're straining the bounds of the legal process in order to get it. Why was yahoo and MSN's information not enough?
Well you know what? I am concerned. I'm concerned that the past 5 or so years has shown a steady decline in the behavior of our government. This has just been one in a long stream of abuses of power by a government led by people who outright refuse to answer to anyone, supported on the backs of people who just can't be bothered to give a shit. If they feel they have the right to seize information from people without so much as a warrant, much less a trial for it to be subpoenaed for, then who knows what they'll try next?
If the government wants to find out about kiddie porn on the internet, they can type it into google and see what they get. The only thing that is "secret" here is why the our Justice Department is full pathetic losers who are too stupid to operate google. The Republicans should all be ashamed that their government has become such a stinking pile of rot on their watch.
