Does anyone actually *READ* porn sites? Maybe the keyboard needs a 'moisture detector' to see when and if the user is drooling, then send the result back to the spy server.
So basically you are saying that Sun really just needs to create a whole new OS. I'm sure that this is beating a dead horse, but the whole reason for x86 Solaris is to promote Solaris on SPARC. After all, the bulk of Sun's business IS hardware.
As along as Sun keeps pushing people to buy SPARC hardware, there will be shoddy support for standard x86 hardware in Solaris
And just how 'public' should the public library be? Privacy is not really an issue here since the records are available at most libraries and county municipal facilities. Just what are these people trying to prevent? Anyone with half a brain and an ounce of determination can find these records.
I really think that this is an issue of power over the internet, not one of privacy .

The only thing that DirectTv 'Hacked' was thier own equipment. There is a world of difference between unleashing a plague of an 'anti-virus virus' which if not coded immaculately carries its own implications ala the Xerox friendly network worm experiment that rendered the network useless. What Dtv did was totally legal because they were not electronically trespassing.
Isn't the whole aim of the Open Source movement to create 'Software that doesn't suck', maintain a community atmosphere for developers, help people out, and just have fun in general? I don't see what 'fighting back stuff from Redmond' has to do with the issue because open software is about choices, not trying to supress another product from market success.
All in all, I think that Open Source is doing it's job just fine without centralized leadership, which is creating high quality software and keeping it's devlopers busy and happy.
This has been a problem for awhile. Spouses logging keystrokes to see if their other is cheating on them, private investigators, hackers, etc. Why isn't the data stream that goes between the keyboard and the OS. Maybe we should be calling the keyboard companies (and OS developers) to come up with some sort of crypto for keyboards.
Is this possible on the OS level? The application level? I am not well versed in these areas, but I have been wondering for awhile.
How do you expect to get the file if it's not going to your IP? Your ISP can figure out what you are doing anyway. Ip spoofing is not useful for two-way connections.
It goes on to talk about the rise of bounty hunter hiring by record labels to track down media pirates
It is apparent that the RIAA has been trying to raise piracy, sharing music with your friends, and even just plain making a backup copy to the level of murder, rape, and bail jumping. As long as the record labels get more money than the artists themselves, there will be piracy and other forms of mild revolt by the consumer due to the percieved (and true!) offenses of greed by the labels.
There must be a backlash against this, and it is our job to educate the people. Piracy is wrong, but so is the thievery of the record labels. More money must go to the artists!
When I was a kid, I played Metroid and Legend of Zelda for Hours on end. I did not have any more friends, no girlfriend, and I got my ass kicked in every sport that I played, got beat up every day, and mocked. The only thing that the games did do is make me wanna go out and kill people. Video games are bad and should be banned because they turned me into a geek.
Isn't the goal of the SETI project to search for extraterrastrial intellicence? Whether the aliens are dead or not is really irrelevant to the aim of the project.
Many of these concepts (which the Linux community has shunned for years trying to avoid being like Windows) are going to have to be embraced (and extended) by the Linux community if they are going to gain any mindshare in the population.
But wouldn't that make GNOME just like windows?
Arnold Schwartzenegger and Jesse Ventura fighting to the death. Now I would pay 10 Bucks to see that. Hell, I'd pay $10 just to see Jesse don his feather boa one more time!
Just because it is dead and gone does not lessen its importance in the legal arena one bit. The napster case was basically the turning point and testing ground for the DMCA. The recording industry has too much power, and napster proved it.
Amateur Radio operators have already been doing this for a couple of decades now via packet radio. The nice thing about 802.11b is that it is much. much faster than the 9600 baud wireless connections that alot of Amateurs use.
If an idea like this ever gets big, I think that we will see alot more 'Community involvement' Like there was on the old bbses. Distance could be a problem with the links, but the Amatuers have showed us that you can get over these obstacles with nodes or even running a TCP/IP Gateway that other authorized users on that specific node can use to get on the internet if they need long-distance communications.
Does this mean that if a software company releases a piece of software that is not 100% reliable that they can be sued? If the RIAA can get a court order to force Napster to create bug free software, I begin to wonder how many other content-filtering software providers can be held liable for bugs in their software.
My dirty uncle will be spending all of his time looking at the 'Girls Locker Room' Section of the school instead of calling me asking me for whiskey money!
Why did you call it "Red Hat" Linux, and not "Blue Shirt" or "Nehru Jacket" Linux? Does the name "Red Hat" have any significance or was it just thought up in the spur of the moment?
Why did you decide to not name the company Red Hat GNU linux, paying homage to the GNU software running on top of the linux kernel?

I've downloaded this and tried it out (Thanks Borland!), but was shocked to see that it did not come with any database components!
