Not being a lawyer, or particularly knowledgable about (L)GPL terms, who could be held liable when a piece of software is developed by one party, but distributed by another? Is ignorance a defence, for instance if Sony said "We didn't know it had unlicensed code!", how would that affect things?
Also not being a lawyer, I expect that Sony would be responsible for making the source available to its customers - those they distribute the software to.
First4Internet, on the other hand, would be responsible for making the source available to Sony - the entity they distributed the software to.
So Sony is certainly infringing, perhaps unknowingly. First4Internet may be infringing if they did not give the source to Sony.
Oh and gratitude, screw it, who cares that they lost 10,000s, of 10,000s of young men bailing us out of two world wars last century, we don't like Bush now.
Erm, what about the equal numbers of European young men who died in those same wars??? And Australians, Japanese, etc. etc.??? Or were their sacrifices any less just because they weren't American? I find your statement offensive & ignorant....
Actually, never mind any of that. The Russians won the war and the Russians suffered the casualties. They lost millions of people, more than all other allies together. 3/4 of the Germans' losses were on the eastern front. Where the hell is the gratitude to the Russians?

If everyone who thinks MAPS is doing the general net a disservice were to complain about a single ISP, the list would immediately become obviously useless. This would, of course, be vigelanteism of the worst sort -- pretty much like the lists themselves, but it would presumably cause pretty much everyone to drop the lists.
You could for example report the ISP that is dropping your e-mail because your ISP is incorrectly listed...
If all numbers in URLs appeared BLUE, while all letters appeared GREEN, and all foreign characters appeared RED, you couldn't possibly confuse them.
Much of the world would then have their text in a seizure inducing red/green pattern. That's not really a solution.
Also, I'm going to take this oportunity, as someone who spends a lot of time fixing American programmers' stupid character encoding code to declare that you guys suck. Thank you for your time.
I was wondering, if a large number of vehicles on the road are hydrogen fuel cell powered, won't there be a big problem of the vapour affecting visibility for drivers? I wonder how that will be dealt with.
Yes, we could end up with an effect similar to smog, but made entirely of water vapour. We could call it something like... fog!
I had a PhD position and full grant lined up at UCSC (with Martìn Abadi who is one of the top authorities in my chosen field of formal methods for data security), but in the end I decided that the US wasn't really where I wanted to be right now and more likely to get worse than better in the next few years.
Let's just hope that out American friends snap out of it before too much damage is done.
We've been inbreeding for a long time, and we've lost (or spread very thin) most of the information that a hyperthetical adam or noah would have had in his DNA.
But that's the exact point right there, if there were only 5 people who re-populated the earth, there wouldn't be any other genetic information to spread Adam's or Noah's genetic information over, there wouldn't be very much to mix it with.
p
Taking any given bit of genetic material from any random person could only have one of the 5 values (with possible crossovers), discounting mutation. For mutation to account for the diversity observed in the human population in the few thousand years since Noah, we would need much higher observed mutation rates and, probably, too high for the species to survive.
They may be able to find a single common ancestor to all currently living Arabs, but there will have been genetic material injected from other sources. His 12 sons' 48 wives, or what have you, for starters.
So while this is an interesting factum, it isn't really relevant to this particular point.
I don't think that being closed source is the sole reason why IE is insecure, there are relatively secure closed source browsers(Safari being one)
While this doesn't negate the point of the parent post, I would just like to point out that Safari is based on the KHTML library, which is the rendering engine from the Konqueror browser from KDE and thus Open Source.
So just replace Safari with Opera in the above and resume your usual flaming.
I'm afraid you have picked a bad example here. The GPL merely stipluates is that anyone who gets a copy of the software also gets access to the source, but in the case of in-house software, the software is not distributed so no-one needs to be given access to the source and the point is moot.
There might be other, more pertinent examples, but it could also be that most of the behaviour that would be allowed by LGPL'd libraries and not by GPL'd libraries wouldn't be beneficial to "The Communicty".
Unfortunatly, both Exchange protocal and Mapi are closed protocals that require a license to implement presently from microsoft.
Actually, there is also a WebDAV interface that someone could use to implement exchange connectivity. I'm writing to this interface at the moment and it seems to be adequate for everything but the task-list and we still might get that to work. The strange thing is that the much more complicated calendar functionality is fully supperted.
This is using only publically available documentation (if you can call example code written in Visual Basic documentation, and you probably can't), a bit of patience and a high threshold of pain.
Also, especially inside cities, you often only have a couple of visible satelites, which isn't enough to cold-start the GPS unit. With more satellites up you'd have a better chance of staying in contact with tall buildings on either side.
"In general" no, you are not bound by your employer's NDA. However, at the last place I worked, there were specific clauses in my employment contract that I was not to divulge any secrets that I learned at work, whether they belonged to my employer or not.
I.e. I would not be bound by their NDA exactly, but by my employment contract. Companies often enter into NDA's with each other, but only if their employees are bound by clauses similar to the ones described above. This is what lawyers get paid for after all.
Funny, yes. But doesn't really describe my new Nokia 3650 cellphone with its 170 by 200 pixel colour screen. True, the bundled browser isn't too hot, but I'll be installing Opera in the next couple of hours to fix that.
Which begs the question "what happens if you have an invalid credit card?"
Does the system query the credit card company for every potential transaction and then only charge one time out of ten, or does it only query the credit card company one time out of ten?
In the former case, the credit card companies are going to complain, since you are abusing their servers, while in the latter case 90% of the time you can buy stuff with a bad credit card.
Since we all trust Dr. Rivest, there must be something very important missing from the article.
If I decide I am NOT going to buy a car that has power windows (no pun intended) becuase I consider that feature to be a security risk,
The thing to remember with power windows is that
when you start sinking into the river which
turned out to be deeper than you thought, you
should start rolling them down immediately before
the electrical system gives out. Saved my life
once...
Yeah, I installed Linux for my mum and she kept
complaining about all kinds of things. The latex
installation was missing important extensions
that had to be installed seperately, the emacs
mail integration wasn't the way she was used to
and she didn't like the default colour of the
desktop.
Really, until such important problems are resolved
linux has no hope on the desktop.
Or in fact woody with 2.4.17. I installed this
yesterday and it worked nicely except that there
aren't alsa modules for 2.4.17 in woody yet, so
I downgraded to 2.4.16 which has those.
Also, my "must never go down" systems are
running potato with a 2.4.x series kernel.
This required a couple of packages from woody,
but nothing horrendous.
I think one of the main points of this arguement that you are missing is that all of these companies have said that they won't block Magic Lantern, but they haven't said that they're going to make a second English language version of their software that WILL detect it for countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia. They also haven't made any comments about whether or not versions of their software in other languages will have separate patches and virus detection lists that will detect Magic Lantern.
Non-US does not mean "a version for use outside the US", but "software not written in the US". Remember, the US is not the world.

Shouldn't that be "of classical greek proportions"? You could try titanic as a familiar but compatible term.

Rat Bastard Big Jason stole my only chance of some peer recognition in my sad little life!
I'll just have to go back to comparing dictionary definitions of "girlfriend" now.
