It's not even that their religion is offended, the Wikipedia article reproduces images are from 1550 CE, the 15th century and circa 1315, when images of Muhammad were only affordable in text purchased by wealthy persons rather than forbidden or offensive. The images depict the Prophet in what I would consider a respectful way. This seems more like theists becoming more dogmatic and intolerant over time.
You are assuming that the CPU's filter will be able to tell the difference between your Creative Commons licensed music and RIAA licensed music; magic eight-ball says "false positive will abound". This wouldn't work at the CPU level it needs to be part of the filesystem code to even decide if a block of data is music or not and that bumps it into the operating system.
Seems to me that the more professional, legalese laiden and verbose agreement would imply that the software were more valuable, and increase the likelyhood that it be turned down or send to legal for review and some pedantic anal-retentive lawyer shoot-it down.
What I was joking about is each TCP/IP stack only has 64K ports so the NAT box can only support 64K - WKS, Well Known Services; for a home network that's plenty, for a business with a hundred IP devices it'll still probably work, but an enterprise with a thousand or two IP devices there may be times when they just plain run out of ports on the NAT box. We got companies with printers exposed to replace faxes, VOIP telephony, video-conferencing, web browsers, instant messaging, databases, custom applications, Digital radiography, digital dental impressions, CAD/CAM mills, 3D "printers"; plenty of stuff trying to talk over the internet that didn't exist 5 years ago.
That's probably one of the reasons they are dragging their feet on IP6, IP4 is a limited and valuable asset and the switch will cause billions of dollars worth of imaginary assets to disappear from the corporate books. Try explaining to the stakeholder that you asset/liabilities just went red because of IP6 and they are going to feel lied to and the law suits will start flying and for good reason.
I'd almost think that lawyers would type it up in wordperfect, convert it to a PDF, encrypt the file then attach the encrypted file to a plain-text Email; they bill by the hour right?
when the scoop of a lifetime lands in my inbox I can do something about it! Presumably the times journalist is smart enough not to publish if he runs the risk of being sued. These guys live for that shit, a lawsuit or a contempt of court for not revealing a confidential source turns a two-bit story into a Pulitzer prize nominee.
Seems to be a progression effect here, have a baby wean him off the breast to a sippy-cup full of Mountain dew 3 years later send him to school as a hyper, ill-mannered undisciplined little brat, next year start on Ritalin, two more year up-him to concerta, two more graduate him to adderal, after that graduate him from high school with a 5th grade reading level and diagnose him as bipolar. My guess is that we are going to have a whole generation where behaviors like Britney Spear and Paris Hilton display seem normal because Bipolar will be epidemic and caused by long-term stimulant use in kids frying their brain chemistry.
The problem with that is you have to send the high school kid to show them how to use it. It's easy for the sender it's the recipient that has to do the work, set up the program, generate the key, store the backup and the revocation key and publish the public key. if I were a law firm I'd insist on PK encryption, and offer to set the client up for hourly or have them sign a waiver.
I always assumed and was told that Email is like a postcard, people who use them should have no expectation of privacy. It's rude to read a post card or an email that's not to you, but you should expect people to be rude, especially lawyers and reporters both occupations tend to be adversarial. Personally if I were on a jury in a malpractice case due to a breach of confidentiality and the dependent explained the Email was accidentally miss-addressed and was not encrypted, I would view that as an admission of guilt.
If the lusers can't tell the difference between Alex Berenson and Bradford Berenson, why would you assume that they were competent enough to use PGP or GPG? Pretty bad when a law firm that's probably billing a thousand dollars an hour or better needs to hire a high school kid to proof read email addresses.
Even making the offer is like M$ admitting that MSN and Hotmail are albatrosses around their necks and if they can't get MSN and Hotmail profitable why would anyone think that they can keep Yahoo profitable? A while back I read a book called The Microsoft Way" that I bought at the dollar store. It waxed gloriously about the virtues of how Microsoft managed various projects, but they all had one common denominator, they all lost money and half are gone now. Yahoo would be stupid to join with either neither Google nor Microsoft bring anything to the table that would be worth-while for yahoo.
Email isn't private, any sysadmin or cracker with the root privileges on the mail server can easily read it, network sniffing isn't that much more difficult either. As far as the web browsing goes there are easily monitored as well, my wife was shocked when I turned on logging on our router, did a little browsing then showed her the logs. If you don't want your Email read encrypt it, if you don't want your browsing monitored use tor or something if I can do it then THEY surely can and do do it part-time it's always or never with privacy.
Well they think this rock has been completely frozen over and completely thawed out a couple times and we still here so that should count for some cryophilae. The other thing is the research detected RNA chains and most life (on Earth anyways) is DNA based.
Actually at night or in the dark photosynthetic plants will consume O2 to metabolize the starches and give off CO2. There is a company that takes algae put it in a dark tank and feeds them sugar and O2 to make oil, CO2 is given off by the process.

I'm not ready to throw a pity party for the media companies yet.
Your off topic, we're talking about the RIAA not American Corp's. Warner is the closets to being an "American corporation" and they're CEOed by a Canadian. Sony is Japanese, EMI is British, Vivendi Universal is French. It pisses me off that every multi-national infested with predatory scumbags is automagicaly American.
We are using plants to absorb CO2 from power plant effluent, I don't have the URL handy but one experimental plant in Arizona had to be shut down because the algae the were growing grew too well and clogged up the works. algae can be up to 50% oil which can be used for food oil or biodeisel. using the oil for biodeisel isn't exactly carbon neutral but it's better than burn coal for electicity then still burning petro-deisel for transportaion. The only draw-back is the plants only absorb CO2 during the day.
My son just got back from Iraq, they all chipped in and got a satellite dish, and wired the billets with Ethernet cable; the dish aimed 13 degrees above the horizon. If they needed to talk they just used a cellphone like everyone else. Afghanistan is a bit more rustic but not as much as you'd think.
Makes sense an underwater cable just lays on the bottom so it's cheaper as long as you don't need repeaters that have to be powered underwater, land-based cables have to be either buried or set up in poles so they are more expensive to install but it's easier and cheaper to get power to the repeaters, that are themselves cheaper because they don't have to be waterproof only weather-proof; somewhere the expense curve cross.

yes sir 64K should be enough for anybody!

Seems to be a progression effect here, have a baby
wean him off the breast to a sippy-cup full of Mountain dew
3 years later send him to school as a hyper, ill-mannered undisciplined little brat,
next year start on Ritalin,
two more year up-him to concerta,
two more graduate him to adderal,
after that graduate him from high school with a 5th grade reading level and diagnose him as bipolar.
My guess is that we are going to have a whole generation where behaviors like Britney Spear and Paris Hilton display seem normal because Bipolar will be epidemic and caused by long-term stimulant use in kids frying their brain chemistry.

Why not just set up a separate user-space for each important case and only have the authorized contact information for that user-space/case available?
I think the proper term is "valuable consideration" and the valuable consideration has to exist and actually be valuable
