You ever hear of tripwire? Every change in the filesystem can be monitored. Someone will catch it. The FBI has great resources, but not like the collective consciousness of the net.
Adobe already sells at least one product, Acrobat Capture, in a like manner. You get a printer-port dongle that gives you a certain number of scans. When you wanna capture more, you simply request a new dongle.
I've seen some discussion that leads me to believe that the RIAA will eventually want to sell music with individual watermarks, based on individual's keys. (Possibly from the National Identity Card key).
Is it much more difficult (outside of mass distribution issues) to mark each distinct copy with a unique watermark, than it is to use a single generic watermark?
It is understandable. Especially in your country. The right to speak the "n word" must be the most excruciatingly difficult to defend, anywhere in the world. I admit that I dont think I could do it, even in my own country. But I am thankful, and mindful, of the patriots who did, and still do.
Yes. An analogy exists with this article, related to better deployment of geographic data. Digital data usually represents a population, or a complete project, and therefore should be considered more carefully with public availability.
Notably, from the other articles, it seems that this dataset has been available in the past without resorting to theft.
I still admire the (acting) Portland police chief.
It's too bad that this has happened, of course. It was a rush to digital and possibly the longing to displace the power of the bureaucrats and civil servants in the DOT/DMV, perhaps.
Otoh, Oregon is the only state which has had the gonads to challenge the DoJ about their interrogations. Seems they do watch out for privacy at some level, in Oregon.
I suggest to you that it would require even more effort than that. To achieve such your goal, imho, would require that you, as a ordinary citizen who is not a nazi, publish information that a nazi would publish, for example. Then, you must be willing to fight, publically for your right to do this, as long as you are not harming anyone else.
This liberty, which still exists in the US, but is under attack, is the most delicate and fragile that we have. It was not easily won. We mock and point when it does not extend to the internet, but we forget sometimes how precious it really is.
Your fight will probably mean nothing, if you do decide to fight. You've got to believe in, and want, the liberty to have the information, AND the right of the nazi organization to display it, more than your reputation, your job, and possibly even your life.
Thats pretty strong logic, yes. Maybe trying to make the distinction is a dead horse after all. But someone liked my effort, anyways. Btw, I really didn't mean to slight the research effort. My post was something of a gut reaction.
Forgive my ignorance, I never worked much with IBM boxen at all, just a few SPSS routines that were required in college. But I've heard several claims that the *ni|ux OS's can't really compete with the original IBM operating systems, because of better prioritizing capabilities in the old OS. According to these claims, mission critical apps running on IBM, such as accounting software, could never run properly anywhere else.
Is Linux kernel-level stuff (threads, forking, etc) sufficient to the realtime needs of larger IBM apps now? Or, perhaps these machines wont be used for those type of apps when running RH?
I am quite curious what folks do with this sort of a configuration in the real world.
Sidebar, I heard Sun converted all of their acctng apps to Solaris awhile (96?) back too. But I never heard much more about it.
But, if the key is saved on the server, doesn't this imply that the server also offers the encryption and decryption functionality? If so, then the password has to be sent to the server to decrypt the key.
Perhaps the encrypted key is given to the client again for each session? Does enc/dec only occur on the client? This was one of my questions. Perhaps you can grok that from the source?

I guess you dont live in one of the countries which just signed the CyberCrime treaty, do you?
You go, friend. Oh, and make sure to register your GPS tracking device with the ACLU and the EFF.

Of course, the worms we've seen so far are pretty indiscriminate. Perhaps the FBI can come up with something better targeted.
In any case, I predict more of the rest of the world moving to Linux, soon.
Perhaps nice for joe-user, but in that case, it borders on fanaticism, given the claims made against ML with no real explanation How it Works.
Just flying up and dropping the test craft always seemed kinda crude to me.

Seems I spoke too soon again.
There seems to be some discussion over on vim.org about an IRC channel (called #vim). Perhaps someone on that channel might have a solution.

Consider the cost, but dont forget the children.

Thanks. That was certainly useful.
Hello Resin!
The article is slashdotted, but if it's O'Reilly, then I'll bet he is talking about Perl's Artistic License.
And you dont yet know to differentiate between a hacker and a cracker?
I was rather hoping that at least one reply would help me to understand what it means for software to have a "technical effect".
Thank you sir! May I have another?
Yes, clearly moderation is anything but contentious.
ah. ok. Forget my previous question then. thanks, mr. C!
