If it turned out that none of the sources actually did break the law, then revealing them simply would have compromised _their_ privacy without actually furthering the cause of justice. (Further, because the magazine revealed their identity, they could be legally liable to their sources for revealing their names!) The premise of innocent until proven guilty should apply and they should have the right to keep their sources secret.
Without knowing who the sources are, Apple can't prove they did break the law. Apple does have reason to believe that somebody did, and were able to convince a judge that of that. So they subpoenas to find out who spilled the beans, then there will be a trial to determine whether the people in question broke a contract. To withhold evidence because Apple can't prove that anyone broke the law is tantamount to saying until Apple has absolute proof there can be no investigation. Pretty hard to enforce _any_ kind of law on those terms.
It seems very easy to me to come up with two bodies moving in such a way as to make it impossible to determine which one is moving faster, because the answer to that question depends completely on the point of reference in relation to which you determine their veolocity.
The missing peice is accelleration. In the twins paradox for example, theres no way for them to directly compare unless one of them turns around and comes back. That accelleration breaks the symmetry because unlike motion, accelleration is not relative - One body is _Definitely_ acclerating while the other is not.
Yeah, let's discuss Airbus funding, because Boeing receives no government funds. Yeah, right.
In terms of purchasing? Sure. They're a huge defense contractor, and the government buys a lot from them. But Airbus's development costs have large been subsidized by billions in government loans - Loans that never have to be paid back if a plane doesn't sell well.
Yeah, and over here we don't ban personal expressions of religious identity. I agree that Europe does do some stuff better than the US, but this pro-Europe/anti-US sniping that comes up every time any US regulatory issue is on Slashdot is just another form of annoying zealotry. If we want to talk about unfair corporate/government interactions, lets discuss Airbus funding some time.
However the paper admits that the only way to be sure that you have killed a kernel rootkit is to completely erase an infected hard drive and reinstall the operating system from scratch.
Compromised systems cannot be trusted. Period. If someone has gained root on your system you can never be totally sure you've gotten rid of them without checksumming every file on the disk.
The antivirus companies, who already have the technology and infrastructure, need to extend their scanning of executables to include ANY software that collects data and phones home. Make a big list and update it with the AV updates. When anything is installed that hit the list, pop up a big "POTENTIAL SPYWARE - ARE YOU SURE?" box.
What this will do is provide the AV companies with a legal defense when purveyors of bundled spyware which the user authorized in paragraph 27 subparagraph z3 come knocking and complaining about interfering with contracts and restraint of trade.
i think the whole plutonium thing is propoganda, trying to make the terrorists look for it. what happened with the H bomb? has anyone looked at the sun (come on people, there are only two elements there)? why plutonium, because it is rare? all they are doing is shoving crap down the throat of a atom. how hard is that??
Hydrogen Bombs use a fission bomb as a detonator. Thus, plutonium and/or Uranium is still necessary to construct one.
Well, yes and no. Does it explicitly? No. However it did say that all the population shall be counted by adding the number of free persons, those bound for a period of years, and three fifths the number of everyone else.
In context, this meant that slaves, who were pretty much exclusively black, counted as 3/5's. It doesn't explicitly _say_ blacks, but to ignore the implicit and intended racism of that clause when placed in context simply because it doesn't explicitly _say_ blacks is not particularly intellectually honest.
It may have made an appearance earlier, but the fourth book (So Long and Thanks for all the Fish) makes reference to the electronic thumb, which half the engineers are finding new ways the jam and the other half are finding new ways to jam the jamming. He uses it to get on the spaceship of the robot from the planet ruled by giant lizards.

The hashed password would require figuring out the password so as to allow changing it to make the same hash. This requires going the wrong way against this one way hash algorithm. If you were able to do this, then you would not bother generating an equivalent password, because you would know the original.
nitpick: You can't get the original back out. Data is lost in the hash function - it's not compression. You can determine a set of possibilities for the original, but never what the actual original was.
Why not support 95 and 3.1 users too while you're at it?
Bitching about lack of win2k support would probably be okay because many businesses still use it, but 98 and ME? C'mon...
There are still a large body of 98 and ME users out there. Telling 20-30% of the peopole that might be visiting your site in an ecommerce situation to bugger off cause they don't have the right browser is often not an option.
And no, no county does "franchises" for cable. Look at Milwaukee for a good example of how it USED to work - prior to the death of Viacom cable, there were two COMPETING cable companies in that county. The only reason no other cable company's come by since is that TW threatens to go into their existing counties and deliberately undercut their prices, running at a loss till they drive the competition out of business.
The system he describes is the way it works where I'm at. It may not be that way everywhere, but to say that _no_ county does that is flat out wrong. In most places theres one set of coax in the ground. That coax is operated by a company thats given a municipality granted franchise to do so.
Seeing as the merchant agreement with the credit card company says you can't charge extra for a credit card transaction, and a "cash discount" is just a different way of doing the same thing, I know I would prefer no cash discounts. Most merchants play by the rules fairly; the rest should as well.
What's fair about that? Why the hell should I have to pay a 3% "Visa Tax" for everything I buy if I pay cash? Why should I be forced by a couple of large organizations (Visa, Mastercard, etc) to buy their services bundled with every purchase I make, regardless of whether I use them? Cash discounts should be the norm, and frankly I think the agreement banning passing that cost on should be considered an illegal abuse of a monopoly position.
I have not met one person here (University of Minneapolis) who does not own a PC. I also have not met anyone else here who runs an OS other than Windows.
Wheres the University of Minneapolis? If you're talking about the University of Minnesota _at_ Minneapolis, try CompSci, Education and Art.
While your post is thorough and accurate, you glossed over the fact that MySQL is now dual licensed. This DOES have repercussions. The GPL version can only be used by GPL software OR as a special exception. The special exception is made for PHP (and maybe others). If you are a Bank and choose MySQL you have to BUY a license.
Uhhh...No. If you want to use MySQL _code_ in non GPL software, you have to buy a license. Theres nothing that prevents MySQL from working _with_ non-GPL software. I have no idea where you got this idea about dual licensing, but there appears to be a lot of it posted on this article.
Stop pretending that killing Alpha and PA-RISC was a bad idea. Itanium needs to go away too, but maintaining three heavy iron architectures is a waste.
Killing PA-RISC AND Alpha was a bad idea. PA-RISC _or_ Alpha sure, but not both. Itanium was the planned migration plan for PA-RISC, but the Alpha was a superior architecture and continuing development on it would have been a better plan than trying to force Compaq's old customers to move the an inferior OS on an inferior chip.
Remember the demo they did for you in school where they exhaled to cigarette smoke through a rag to show you the tar spot and say "This is going in your lungs"? It works just like that...(blech)
This is plain stupid, and it will be reversed on appeal.
Wouldn't bet on it. For all they bitch about the US engaging in protectionist behavior, the French are one of the most fiercely protectionist countries in the world.

While I do feel the decision is asinine, the distiction is that its not his court room, its the government's court room.

They compromised on a governmental system. The document was made to embody that system. Including racism was intentional.
