I think the comment you replied to referred to "open spaces" in the sense of agora, i.e. public spaces where people like to gather -- he mentions cafes, you could also consider the many restaurants with sidewalk eating areas, the large pedestrian traffic, the many parks, etc. So in that sense, Europe has more public/open spaces that are used by many people and where only wireless access is a decent option.
If I were the developer of a piece of software that is packaged with spyware, I would make sure the functionality of my software is dependant on the spyware, so that you cannot remove. If you block the installation of the spyware associated with Kazaa, you won't be able to run Kazaa.
It might work for programs that are very narrowly focused (games maybe). But any other program that requires to be able to exchange data (think copy & paste) cannot just run on its own kernel, as it makes data import and export very cumbersome for the user. The OS brings some intercommunication capabilities that are very useful.
DNS is not distributed, it is hierarchical. The queries travel up the tree (where the client first queries the ISP which is a leaf in the DNS tree), until the reach the top level DNS. Someone has to be at the top and manage the top level DNS. Of course, it does not have to/should not have to be Verisign...
How is this new? I think this kind of movie has been done before, many times. Maybe the main character might have a different job this time (reverse engineer), but otherwise this storyline has been covered. Only recently, we had "Memento" with Carrie-Ann Moss. Hey, even the future California governor made one.
Any insider tips on how this movie might be interesting?
I am sure such violence happens all the time during periods of great turmoil. But there is no excuse for either side to commit such crimes. What bothers me most is the idolatrization of Che Guevara -- I guess it is just a sign of pop culture more than anything else.

Other important details: while in Cuba, he followed his widely advocated belief in guerrilla warfare, and lead troops in killing opponents of the Castro regime. It did not matter whether the opponents where anti-communists or communist supporters that did not share Castro's or Guevara's views. As with many other communist regimes, there was no limit to the amount of political violence as long as power was maintained.
[...] this guy [...] seems to dismiss most everyone on Kazaa as pirates. Kazaa has a legitimate use as a distribution center.
You are so funny! I think you meant "Kazaa could have a legitimate use...". The majority of content on Kazaa is stolen media and software (MP3s, movies, games, apps).
It is a graph, not a tree, so there is no one root. Maybe you are looking for the seed site, i.e. the first site added to the webgraph they construct. You can choose any site you prefer, although something well-connected is better. It seems to me that Yahoo! would be a good starting point.
What I would like to see is a keyboard and/or input driver that increases my input speed by guessing ahead what I want to type.
Not like Visual Studio AutoComplete, but more like the editor of the old Sinclair Spectrum Basic. There, depending on your location in the program, pressing 'F' would either generate the keyword 'FOR' or the letter 'f'. For example, to type 'FOR I = 1 TO 10' you would just press 'F', 'I', '1', 'T', '1', '0' (or something very similar and very concise).
It seems that if the American people are going to protect their rights, they are going to have to do so actively.
Of course you have to be active about protecting your rights. If you let someone else "protect" your rights for you, you let that third party decide which right you have (i.e. which rights that someone will defend for you).
Methinks that instead of looking for technological solutions that will take a while to implement, we would be better off making a big deal of this issue. The more the general public knows about how FBI snoops into library records (about other things), the more stringent the public outcry.
I am not saying drop the search for a technical solution, I am saying a lot of policies can be balanced through social means rather than actively fought through some kind of enforcement tool (e.g., technology).
Ransom Love had his anwers posted into a widely-watched public forum (i.e. Slashdot), so he had to be careful what and how he says what he says. Anything he mentions publicly can affect UnitedLinux and/or Caldera in the eyes of the business world. Adapting to the audience is not really possible, at least not to a large degree.
Is it just me, or is the UI of the Matrix website really unusable? I mean, it looks really slick, but it is such a pain to go through all the minuscule micro-buttons to get to the different sections.
So what? You wonder what give US the right to do that whatever they want. They behave like that because they can, because they have bigger guns, more movies, large quantities of porn. Who are you to judge US?
There is no democracy across the world, all international politics are purely selfish. Extreme Islamic groups do not want to convert the "infidels" because they would want to save their souls. They want power. Same thing for the Western states. I say let's fight it out and see who wins! Fuck peace.
If a customer picks his/her pizza, there is no gas cost to recoup, so would it be fair to charge that customer for a non-existant gas cost? Unless you like ripping off your customers, then I don't think you would want to do that.
Ha, ha, ha, very funny. Where did you learn that pricing has anything to do with the actual cost of producing anything? Things are priced so people can afford to buy them, of course, as long as they cover at least the cost of manufacturing.
So where does RMS stand on this issue? It seems to me that the way this scripting environment works, it is somewhere between application-linking-against-a-library and external-process-execution. Can a non-GPL program be controlled from a script?

Block 0 (of rational individuals) is thus numbered based on how many individuals it contains.

If these machines take over and become sentient, the First Post race will be lost for humanity forever.
On the other hand, I, for one, welcome our sentient, First Post overlords.

If you have a girlfriend, obviously you are not in the target market of this new keyboard.
Hmmm, in the last line of the third paragraph, we want a more "strident [...] public outcry", not a more stringent one.
Next time I will re-read my comment before submitting...

The beta version does port forwarding. And it behaves very nicely (i.e. no crashes or hangups) for a beta.
That did not make any sense! ... it is universally known as Soccer, even in countries where it is primarily known as Football...
Care to elaborate on the difference between universal knowledge and primary knowledge?

The end always justifies the means for anything that is worth doing. The problem is when the means become a goal in itself...

Fair pricing - good one!
