Thunderbird 0.2 is nice, faster, etc., but as far as I can see they still haven't added an interface for Global LDAP settings. To access my LDAP server, I set it up in Mozilla 1.5b and copied the relevant user_pref's from my Mozilla 1.5b's prefs.js file to my Thunderbird prefs.js. If anyone knows a better way to do this, I'd like to hear about it.
My first job out of college was working on F-16 avionics during the 1980's. I was surprised to find out that F-16 pilots often power-cycled the Fire Control or Stores Management computers when glitches occured. I don't know if the latest F-16 software and hardware requires such measures but they were not uncommon back then.
As an aside, early F-16 A/B aircraft used magnetic core memories, which are non-volatile. The computer could be power-cycled without losing data. And in the case of an aircraft crashing, analysts could recover the magnetic core to help in post crash diagnosis.
Most worrisome part of the article: Nikki Hemming, chief executive of Sharman Networks, advocates a copyright tax on all ISPs. So all ISP users will be forced to pay the RIAA!
And on the copying and fair use front, Hemming is lobbying Congress for an Intellectual Property Use Fee to settle the quandary of responsibility for distributing copyrighted material. The proposal calls for charging ISPs a fee to compensate copyright holders.
The IPUF would be a "universal levy that would be applied to everyone in the value chain that benefited from the content available" on the KaZaA network, Hemming says.
In an open letter to Congress, Sharman Networks writes:
"We suggest that it is time for Congress to step in and halt the 'whack-a-mole' litigation excesses of the music and movie industries through new legislative initiatives that compel content availability, while establishing a compensation scheme that requires a contribution from all the many industry sectors beyond P2P [peer-to-peer] software that benefit from content availability."
