That's great. The Pirate Bay operate in a locale where this material *is* legal to distribute.
If you're saying material = the actual file data: no, it's not. I'm from Sweden and it's all illegal to distribute (download AND upload) actual material without the copyright owner's explicit permission. It is NOT illegal to host torrent files though, it's quite logically considered different from the material, with file hashes and tracker info basically all they contain. This is being supported by an old BBS case of 1996 where it was decided in the BBS site's favor to host indices of warezed material.
Why do these articles only end up being commented about IPv6 improved address space?
IPv6 offers lots of tasty features because they took the opportunity to fix a lot of quirks in the IPv4 protocol while they were at it, and that offers real world advantages.
Things like host autoconfiguration and ad hoc networking, end-to-end IPSec support in the standard, larger datagram support for efficiency in fast networks.
Why would I spend money and time to make something better for others, with little to no value returned.
Because you make something better for others.
That's the key with IPv6 -- everyone need to use it, or no one can efficiently use it.
If everyone defends their ego, we'll never have IPv6 and run into a crapload of problems in the future. So I think it's not done for us to *earn* a lot, but to avoid problems later on for the global Internet community.
You don't need Vista to run IPv6 on Windows. XP SP2 has pretty good support by now, and by 2011 that would be a 10 year old product.
Anyway, we transitioned from analog TV to digital in a matter of just a few years, and it did imply every viewer to buy digital decoders for own money if they used an antenna. (which is common at least here) It was also quite some hassle, and I think for even less benefits than IPv6. IPv6 doesn't only benefit from a larger address space.
You would think scheduling a big upgrade for the middle of the holiday season would be asking for trouble.
Surely it's a progressive update to be done by then, not an overnight upgrade?? It would be completely impossible to upgrade all the net's routers that need to over a night.
Vista has plenty of security improvements and may well be Microsoft's mote secure Windows version yet.
BUT... Due to the problems with Windows XP's security, I bet most companies already have good third party firewalls, spam filtering, and antivirus tools in place. We already subscribe to the enterprise edition of NOD32 antivirus that has an excellent track record, and use a Linux server with Smoothwall for our firewalling and VPN purposes. (and I'm eager to upgrade to the new Smoothwall 3)
Microsoft has to assume people already have security infrastructures in place, and then the question is no longer "is Vista secure", but "what more does Vista offer than this". And I believe that is the problem for Microsoft. Vista offers no earth shattering security improvements, it merely brings it on par with most existing Unix-based operating systems. But if companies have already taken care of that in other ways by using complete security suites with reasonable subscription fees, why should they discard all that, that already works, to spend a lot of money in retraining staff and reinstalling Vista operating systems en masse? It's a huge risk for no clear benefits.
Vista is clearly better than XP security-wise from my experiences, but the thing is that XP + third party security tools (often free and even open source) is usually good enough.
It's in the end of the patent... Not that it makes much sense to me... I guess there could theoretically be a minority market for it.:-S

The music signal generated from the genetic data can be used in a variety of consumer and industrial products and methods. For example, novelty products such as greeting cards, genetic music CDs, and the like can incorporate a person's individual music generated from their own sample of DNA. The specific DNA sequence can be provided to a company for generation of the genetic music. Alternatively, a sample containing the genetic material can be provided for sequencing and generating the music.
Useful products include individual identity analysis, for example, for security checking, paternity testing, and the like. The music generated by an individual sample can be compared with a control sample. An identity analyzer can be configured to provide an audible signal for a specific comparative result, for example, if the sample and the control differ, e.g., signaling an alarm in a security setting, or when they are the same, e.g., adding excitement to live television coverage of paternity determinations.
Clinical analyzers that compare sequences of patient samples with controls may be programmed to provide soothing melodies when the sequence is "normal" and to provide an audible, for example, discordant music when an "abnormal" sequence is detected. Such signals can provide a signal for the clinical technician to alert a physician to the difference in the sequence.
How do you feel about subsidizing Microsoft's bandwidth costs?"
I don't feel against it at all. As opposed to certain ISP's that don't let you use the bandwidth you pay for freely and not setting stupid "limits", mine actually includes that in my regular flat monthly fee! *gasp* So if this makes them even faster, hey, it'll even be an advantage!
The question would then really be "when does a person no longer need the income he/she has made"? What about a CEO of a company? When does he/she stop "needing" the money? What should happen to said company CEO when that money is no longer needed, and would that person be as motivated to make profit when he/she know anything above that threshold is deemed by society as no longer needed, and should be taken away. Why should one stop being paid for something created before one is dead?
We have no "indicency" regulations at all, and it's up to the broadcasters to use "common sense". That results in a bit of swearing on national TV, sure, but still *gasp* our kids don't roam the streets and are indicent, swearing scumbags.:-p Actually, I don't see a difference compared to US kids at all, because these kids swear too. I think they learn the words regardless if TV has it or not...
As an outsider, this just sounds like a big waste of money. The FCC censorship doesn't serve any special purpose to me...
Sure, HTML includes browser-specific extensions, but if you do not use those, and instead HTML+CSS, you'll end up as more standards compliant than using XHTML with CSS and the wrong MIME type.

"Government agencies and backdoors in technology products have a long and frequently clandestine relationship. One 1995 expose by the Baltimore Sun described how the National Security Agency persuaded a Swiss firm, Crypto, to build backdoors into its encryption devices.

Finally an explanation to the Steve Ballmer monkey dance. I was really wondering about that one.
There might also be a wrinkle that it's okay to download copywritten materials, but not to distribute it
No, that's illegal too now per EU directives, although made illegal more recently.
But again, that's not TPB's method operation, but the BBS case you cite. The parent is wrong though in that it's legal to distribute the actual files.
Regards "A Swede"

But is this a "problem" with Mininova or increased P2P site competition? TPB, IsoHunt, TorrentSpy, ...
I don't think Suprnova will resolve that, but we'll see.

At this point, what's the business incentive to migrate to IPv6?
End-to-end IPSec support through the standard itself, and mobile ad hoc networking?

Exactly, you aren't better off if you "just want a phone". Actually, it can be argued those are getting ripped off the most.
Hehe, and customers buying iPhones like crazy -- I wonder where that'll take them next. ;-)
Well, from my experiences, Akamai is good, Coral is bad.

English only in general. Reported
Reported? Are you serious?
Anyway, in Swedish: "They have caught up with us! Start copulating for god's sake!"
I don't know, it's pretty common where I live at least...
The rule of thumb being "freedom under responsibility".
You mean, like with each new major Linux distro release, there's articles on whether Linux will now be ready for the desktop?

Seriously though, it's both incredibly funny and somewhat sad that that seems to be the Hubble's greatest legacy.
To a science amateur or geek, sure, but not to an actual space scientist, thank god.
I thought they were starting to need so much power that the atmosphere was too much of a hurdle, and that's why telescopes like Hubble was built.
So why are they building this one now and not e.g. helping fund the James Webb Telescope or perhaps some other upcoming plan?
Is there still much left to discover from the surface of Earth?
I have no idea what App-Zapper is, but sounds like what you're looking for is something like Total Uninstall?
