MIT's network is for students, faculty, and guests which Swartz was none of.
Proof? I can buy that MIT has a policy that says the network is for students, faculty and guests-- if guests means "other authorized users". I can also buy that Swartz was not faculty or a student ( even though I remember something about his having faculty privileges ) but can you show he was not a "guest" given that MIT literally gives access to everyone.
Every University I've ever had the priveledge to encounter, there have been people, usually grad students to arrogant to know that their research was not the most important on campus, and would find creative ways to get computer resources. Not onewas ever prosecuted for the abuse.
First, all the men on here know the men who say he is stupid are lying.
For the women, if you believe that Frampton is stupid or that the men who say he is stupid really believe that. Let me explain something to you.
1. Men will screw anything. If the only alternative is a female gorilla, he will jump at the chance once she presents her but. Even of her 800 lb gorilla boyfriend is about 20 feet away and bearing down on him, he will jump at the chance. He will just hope to outrun the gorilla.
2. Take every male brain cell in the world, and lump them all into one large male brain. Given the chance to sleep with a women with 39DDD breasts, you will not find one cell in that brain that is working correctly.
I did not meet Frampton but In the 80's I knew several of his students. So that's 2 degrees. All I can say is wow. This guy not only was a professor, he was one of the guys inventing the thing that eventually became String Theory only at the time it was called Dual Resonance Models. He also wrote a book on QFT that was generally on everyone's suggested reading list. Virtual every high energy physicist has heard of him.
Let's see, I love computers, I love programming, I love everything associated with how computers do what they do. I love solving problems using a computer, I love building information systems from scratch. I love databases and cryptography. Guess what I will do when I graduate?
1. If you have a USB port only computer good Model M's are hard to find. 2. Some people need a more up to date layout. of keys. That includes the windows key and multimedia keys.
I for example have my windows key mapped to virtual desktop functions. 3. Some people prefer black to white. I've never seen a black Model M. 4. Some people prefer quiet keyboards with tactile feedback or non tactile keyboards. Different switchs give different experiences. 5. Some people prefer tenkeyless, I haven't seen a tenkeyless keyboard. 6. Some people feel modding a Model M ( steampunking or changing to bluetooth ) is heresy, but not so with a mechanical. Others would feel better if they
practice on a new mechanical before doing a Model M. 7. If you want a different set of keycaps ( replaces caps lock with ctl , WASD keys, blank keys ) they are easier to get for modern keyboards.
Aside from backlighting and media keys. which many mechs come with there aren't that many features to dumb down. AS for price mechanicals have generally hung around the same price $80-$129 ( aside from TopRe )and have even come down a bit, and they will last a lot longer then those cheap keyboards.
Yea cause heavily regulated utilities are such a great example of efficient operation as well as champions of innovation.
While not wanting to see internet become a utility per se, it is difficult to see how doing so would be any worse then what we have now.
This country invented the internet andled for a long long time in access. In the 2000s we ceded control of the Internet to the modern ISP ( as opposed to the initial ISPs, for a long time I used Interaccess and for the most part had reliable inexpensive service ). Now the US has become a third world country.
Let me also point out that one of these companies basically controlled telephonics till the mid 70s-early 80s. The owned all the phones and charged for every extension ( they also measured the impedance of the lines to make sure people were not adding illegal extensions ). If that had still been in place in the 90s, the internet would have been restricted to businesses, universities, and public librariies.
The shareholders exhibit very little power over the board because the board has manipulated the rules.
Hope this gives the shareholders more direct control over people who are proving themselves incompetent.
Researchers should be required to publish their findings, not for the prestige but for the simple reason that their research is worthless if it is not conveyed to other people. From the viewpoint of governments as funders the more the merrier ( save of course for classified work, but even there the more scientists with the appropriate clearance the better ). So in general open access is the preferred choice.
When I was a grad student, the areas of physics which were serviced by arXiv and it's predecessors the citations were to arXiv by the top researchers. Simply because by the time the paper was published two levels of citation passed. The people in the area knew who the top tier researchers were, they read their papers, read teir cites and often read the papers by people they cited. It worked well enough.
If the top researchers simply started publishing their works in places like arXiv and the overlay journals and avoid the publishers that would be enough prestige.
Overall I think that "science libraries" should simply go away. In most such libraries, even if they only subscribed to journals that someone had read an article or two, they would find that 90% of the publications were never read. Keeping all those paper journals is a waste of dwindling space, and once tje journals become ejournals, one can restrict access to certain people, or one has to open the journals completely. Making the journals available at a site to the public simply wont work ( logistically eg which terminals does the public use? ).
The thing is that no matter what the short term outcome is, the long term outcome is going to be open access.
Yes and I am sure that the bond will be only a small percentage of the fees, that judges will be able to wave the bond, and that judges in East Texas will be more then willing to do so.

Swartz knew what he was doing, consulting expert legal counsel in advance who advised him not to do it,
Link?
They offered 3 months but took it off the table.
This is more of a Usenet dieing thing then a DejaNews.
CMake is a custom build system, and a really badly documented build system on top of it.
Just ask Phil Greenspun.
IIRC there is a possible gap between "the glory of the olives" and "peter the roman", so there could be several more popes.
'We want something like Wayland, but different in almost all the details.'
If you change all the details then won't it be very unlike Wayland?
I've played Zen Pinball on Android thought the game was cool, but it needed a bigger screen.
As for buying an old pinball machine. Those things need a lot of maintenance.

Put short range radar in the thing and have it stop just short of the obstacle. Less damage to the environment, and less strain on the device.
It's all caused by global warming, donch ya know?
