Why not? I guess this is more used by suspicious spouses than anything else, but mobile keyloggers are available at the market. With a few moments alone with your cellphone, it is fully possible for someone to install clandestine software that can relay incoming and outgoing SMS messages to a third party, thus opening the door for a race-for-the-last-key attack.
But God created US in His image, not Dolphins. He gave us dominion over this world until Jesus returns.
If you say US as in the United States, then I think president Bush agrees with you. He's mad too.
Just my input, is it worth anything?
No, your input is just as worthless as anyone else's, but I feel you might not agree that religion should be a personal thing that's being expressed and cherished in a private manner. Blurbing about it on public nerd forums is not very private, sounds more like it's a missionary thing.
This is exactly why the root servers should be handed over to the UN. It would be totally unacceptable for one nation to use them for information warfare.
Fact is, we need him with us more than ever. If not as GnuPG contributor, then as a speaker of technology/crypto and the freedom of the people. In both the U.S. and Europe, the 1984 ghost is materializing.
"BBC News are reporting a recent Gartner Dataquest statement that over one billion PCs have been sold worldwide. What's even more impressive is that this figure is set to double by as early as 2008."
I see, very impressive. Let me lead you to the article "War, famine, disease. Never mind - 1bn PCs built" by Drew Cullen of The Register.
"So that would translate into how many thousands of tonnes of lead and hundreds of tonnes of cadmium? How many water supplies destroyed, how many tens of thousands of poisoned acres of Chinese farming land?"
"Tomorrow we will be running an appeal on behalf of ComputerAid which is looking for end-of-life PCs to refurb and set up in non-profit organisations in Africa. Unfortunately this will run only in the UK. If there are any other PC recycling-for-developing- countries charities out there, let us know and we'll add you to the list."
the funny thing is that they claim that this law will raise the price of doing business... they actually don't CARE that thousands of people gets put on mailinglists that FORCES them to get boring and uninteresting crap in their mailboxes.
that's neoliberalism for you. don't care about your peers.
I for one am quite happy that most people in developed countries has been able to get on the internet. Back in 1991 I had severe trouble getting access whatsoever (finally managed though)
Yeah, we have a problem with the script kiddies, the spam, the ad flash/shock/popups, the DMCA, the restriction of free speech, the spam, the patenting of open standards, believed non-patentable terms like "one-click shopping", DoS, DDos... and spam.
The article describes their usage of 300 baud modems in 1971. In 1989 I used a 1200 baud manual modem, and in 1990 a fantastic 2400 baud (with Hayes, whee!)
So during the 18 years between 1971 and 1989, the bandwidth had increased just 8x. Today, I have 2048kbit at home, giving me an increase of bandwidth the last 11 years of an astonishing 853 times 2400 baud, or 6827 times 300 baud.
What lies before us in the next decade is surely food for thought. Also, we'll need more bandwidth to cover for the year 2011 equavilent of annoying popup banner ads;-/
IMHO, USENET is for news and discussions, not file transfers. I've been on USENET since early 1992, and I have seen the growth and increasing fillup of crap in most newsgroups.
I really, really hate that ISP's block certain newsgroups that some people might find objectionable. Censorship is a very bad thing. But I have no problem with them refusing to carry the alt.binary.* hierarchy, we can't demand that they retreive these high-volume newsgroups as that would make the total cost for the service much higher than carrying only conversation-based newsgroups.
I have a european job like that. With at least 5 weeks vacation at a ~$45,000 salary. Not as much as the ~$80-90.000 in selected, american locations, but what a beautiful and peaceful people we europeans are.
There are several projects out there with tools and information to enable teachers to get the kids involved in the global communication that the internet enables them to engage in.
KIDLINK is one of these projects that I can recommend, partly because I got involved in the project as a kid, and now, 11 years later, as a member of the worldwide technical staff.
The kids can communicate and participate in worldwide projects based on different pedagogical goals, by means of mailing lists, web, IRC, video phones and such.
I strongly suggest you consider that as an option.
What Stallman said about the recipes awakens some interesting thoughts. IMHO, it's a brilliant metaphor for the open source situation.
- You get a recipe from an online database, go to the store and buy (or order online from the comfort of your own toilet seat) the ingredients. You cook and improvise. You eat. You enjoy. Next time, you improve your skills and the resulting meal by improvising even more.
- You buy a finished heat-and-eat meal in the store, witch may or may not be protected by several patents and trademark protections, you nuke it, eat it, burp and discard. You'll never know exactly what you just ate, and it's difficult to make improvements the next time you want something to eat.

"Gunter"? "Zat"? You know the Germans lost the war, right?
If you wonder what the Scandinavian languages sounds like, think of the Muppet Show chef.

You might have confused the Arabic language with the Persian language (Farsi). They share the same alphabet but are entirely different.

Either that, or it'll rid us of Google itself, depending on the outcome.

Then, dear Sir, could I suggest adding a procmail routine to take care of that?
*LOL*
Perhaps it was a nick collision, or Windows XP's RoboOperate edidion subscription to Microsoft went out...

And I'm born in Connecticut. Blah.
Then why the hell work with marketing people? They're dull.

That would have been hilarious. And then we perhaps would get Iron Chef here in Scandinavia as well.

Why is it like all the people that seem to make this world sane, with all their insanity, just pop off and die, just like that?
Of course, now I have to read the book again, for the n'th time.
