there has been a lot written about the demise of american literature due primarily to the congolermization of publishing house and the need to improve profit margins. Prior to the 70's, publishing houses kept a stable of marginal writers (marginal in popularity, not talent) published because of the potential of having a James Joyce, Hemmingway, or Dillard in their midst that just needed time to develop.
Out of that stable came a number of authors who while successful, were not mega hits. And those authors were part of a rich publishing landscape.
The big publishing houses are really only interested in best sellers today and so the authors that feed stories along the lines of Grisham, King, Baldacci, have a better chance of getting published while possibly more creative authors languish.
Will the 'Net level the playing field? Probably not because, I think, most people still like to read paper books and face it, there is still a large majority of people who don't sleep with thier computers.
I just hope that I am wrong and that modern authors, artists, and small business people can use the low barrior to entry the internet provides and become successful.
I don't know if this applies in this case, but the paper Extracting a 3DES key from an IBM 4758 shows that the IBM4578 isn't as unbreakable as you might suppose.
Remember, certifications don't always apply in all situations.

Are you a parent? It doesn't sound like it. Sometimes kids from good, loving families make bad choices and sometimes kids from bad, hurtful families make good choices. But kids make choices that have significant impact on thier families and their parents.
And parents are already responsible more than you can imagine. In NY state, a parent is legally responsible for children living in the house until they are 21. That means that if junior is 19, gets drunk and wrecks a car (taking others out with them), the parents are responsible and can be hauled into court. If a child between 16 and 18 emancipates, the parents are still legally responsible.
Otherwise known to the common man as experience. Spend your life learning about what happens to a ball through on terra-firma and it doesn't seem too far fecthed to think that the prior learning would still be in force in space.
What is amazing is that it only took 15 days to adapt. Now that is incredble.
I teach a class in a cluster and I don't much care if students pay attention or not as long as they are not disrupting the class. That is their choice.
And when they come whining about their low grades, I suggest they should pay attention to the material.
Neither FreeBSD or NT has a C2 security classification. The classification is granted not to software but to a specific hardware and software combination. NT's is on a couple Pentium class Compaqs running a particular release of NT 3.51 that aren't connected to a network. Real relevant.
Among physical and electronic tampering detection and reaction (zeroing out the memory upon detection), and the requirment that data on the device doesn't leave the device (like secret keys, etc), you get detection against enviornmental attacks such as super cooling the device in an attempt to disable or disarm other tamper detection.
So if your IBM 4578 gets stolen, recovering the data there in will be that much more difficult.
For those of you bemoaning the death of the Internet by scum-sucking-evil-money/power-hungry-dudes, read on. Otherwise go elsewhere.
GROW the F*** UP! Who do you think runs the Internet? A bunch of bearded Birkenstock wearing, peace loving, fellers? No. Absolutely not. Where do you thing the traffic travels over? Corporate wires. Who funds research into network protocols? Corporate World! Who funnels money into university and college programs? Guess who!

There are two big stumbiling blocks to the NC:
1) Applications tailored to the NC and not simple screen scrapes of Word, Money, or Notes
2) The reliability users rightly expect for an appliance
Where.NET as it is being promoted is making a mistake is expecting users to pay per play. Charge a reasonable flat fee and.NET (Or NC) style apps will have a far better chance of success.
BTW, there is lots of rooom for providers to do interesting things with the.NET strategy that make MS a transport.
But I think.NET will not have the impact envisioned largely because few vendors want to put that much of their business into someone else's hands.
To say that this allows parent to make up for all the parental responsibilities we gave up to hollywood, television, and other mass media. Parents, and soon-to-be parents need to wake up to the fact that having a direct link to your childs educational system looks to be a blessing, but in reality your child will only succeed if you give them more than a television with MTV and the newest B.Spears CD is grossly oversimplifying the problem. Even the best intentioned traditional family is in a losing battle against the media and peers.
We are getting somewhere if you acknowledge the the loss to the company is far less than the company claims.
The loss is whatever the company claims or what they can prove using accepted accounting principles for valuation.
However, what about this related situation: unauthorized copying of material that the company refuses to sell you? Since their censorship policies (such as DVD Regions) mean you never are supposed to ever buy it and pay for it: there is no money loss?
The metric is painfully simple. If you take something for sale that you didn't pay for (regardless if you stole the physical media or copied it), it is stolen and there is loss. I could equally argue that DVD regions don't preclude you from buying DVD's--they simply preclude you from playing DVD's.
>But do not try to justify stealing with silly semantics. Based on rock-solid and accepted definitions, it is not stealing. Only semantic tricks make it so.
Wrong.
The reasoning is perfectly sound if you only had the courage to accept it.
Making and distributing unauthorized copies of something someone charges for is defacto depriving the originator of money--stealing, as in getting something for free that you would otherwise pay for. The loss is real.
Your response similar to the ludicrously high claims of "theft" by the software industry that claims that every illegal copy of Autocad is an $800 loss, even though most would have never bothered to buy it or get it anway is immature.
If you are not going to use the software, then why have it? You have the software to use it, right? Even if you don't use the application, do you use it for trading for other applications? The application does have some value.
Apparetly enough value to steal, but not enough to buy. Fine. I can accept that.
Those who try to make these lame arguments can't accept is that they are theives. Low-life. Accept it, deal with it, be honest about it. Just stop trying to defend it for something it is not.
Don't aruge semantics. The meaning of theft is quite clear.
What end's up missing is the money owed to the owners of the content that is being broadcast.
Try it this way: I create a movie and sell it for $5. You get a copy of the movie, copy it, and give it away for free. Each person who has a copy of that movie you have given away has not paid me. If you give it to 10 people, then you have stolen $50 from me because I don't have it.
If you try to argue that you wanted to check it out first and then pay for it if you liked it, then I suggest you check out my return policy first (I won't accept open packages becuase I know some people will steal from me) and if you don't like the return policy, then don't buy it. Otherwise, have your friend play you a copy of my movie that they bought and decide if you want it or not.
But do not try to justify stealing with silly semantics.
Try to play B&W on a Thinkpad with a pointing stick. Now I love the pointing stick as an input device. I use it in all my applications without having to add/remove hardware or adjust settings. I can edits docs, flip to Photoshop and do some detailed picture editing.
The gesture interface for things like B&W may work fine for mice and drawing tablets, but I can't get a single gesture to work and I have spent hours adjusting the mouse parameters and practicing. What a drag.
Now if I had hotkeys, I would be all set.
Building a *good* interface is about enabling as many users as possible. Granted, as a pointing stick user, I am in the minority, but as a non-traditional-mouse-user, I am in a larger minority and our needs/wants ought to be addressed as well in order to have a good anything.
Ok, this is an interesting exercise and I am all for the forwarding of science. Looks more like anohter manifestation of short guy syndrome.
Too bad engineers don't get the same woody from trying to do something truly challenging like exploring the ocean, building oceanic habitats, or finding ways to use renewable resources more efficently.
It doesn't matter if the claims hold up in court. What they are doing is extortion plain and simple. And if thier victim won't cave, then they just move on to the next one.
Often times it is far cheaper to settle out of court than pay a legal team $1000/hour (or more) to fing a suit like this.

Otherwise known to the common man as experience. Spend your life learning about what happens to a ball through on terra-firma and it doesn't seem too far fecthed to think that the prior learning would still be in force in space.
What is amazing is that it only took 15 days to adapt. Now that is incredble.
1) It will be years before anything useful is published.
2) what is published will take even more years to work out the kinks.
3) While the kinks are being worked out the supporting vendors will have a ball finger pointing at non-standard implementations.
4) And it won't be anywhere as good a private system.
It's nice to know MS can conceive of it. Too bad they can't *build* it.
I still have flashbacks of being in BlackBurrow when someone yells "Train!"
EverCrack was harder to kick that LambdaMOO.
If you want to focus on one core area to the detriment of all other areas goto a trade school. That is what your asking for. Nothing wrong with that.
If you want to know more about the world, be creative, and have more options to success, goto and embrace college.
You can be trained skills. You can't be trained in education.
