well, you haven't spent much time around horses, then.
cows can be relied upon to figure their way out of a pasture sooner or later, don't
often injure themselves, and are generally fat, dumb and happy.
horses, on the other hand do none of these things. they get scared and break
legs (and that's the end for the horse), they seldom manage to get out. cows are
downright einsteins in comparison.
Cow's get out because the herd is effectively the animal equivalent of a superfluid; A superfluid will also escape from an unsealed container and it's not remotely intelligent...(except in the case of fiction)
Is Koha a generic Mori (Maori) term? What is a library catalog? Like a public library catalog of the books in the library? Who is PTFS?
As far as the TM goes, If I make up a word called Azkio but it turns out to be a generic term in a language that less than.0002% of the people in the world would recognize does that mean a TM is invalidated?
Koha is the Maori word for "gift" - It's about as generic as the english word "gift". An example in the New Zealand context would be Te Papa Tongarewa (translates as "container of treasures" - the National Museum of New Zealand) having a box by the door labelled "Koha" in the hope you'll put some money in it to help support the museum and to show your appreciation for the place.
If you ask almost any New Zealander what Koha is (that's approximately 4 million people) they'd nearly all say it means gift or donation.
I for one note the correct spelling of the word 'Maori' and find this site grinding at my roots up to my boots in incompetence!!
I don't think he misspelled Maori deliberately - I've submitted one of the dupes to this story - the Slashdot editing/preview ate the a-macron in Maori and displays it as Mori instead; so I expect abesottedphoenix did the same thing.
Hmm, the MS Blog doesn't say you need to do an OS reinstall; only replace the MBR with a clean one; then do a system restore to a point in time PRIOR to the infection - entirely different to a reinstall
Yes of course! Just exactly how does one put an entire corporation in jail? Does every shareholder have to serve a period of time in porportion to their percentage of ownership?
No, for criminal acts you revoke the Corporation's licence to do any kind of business for an equivalent amount of time that an individual would be in jail.
If it goes out of business that is it's problem, just like real people.
Yes many would cease to exist, but the ones remaining would be a whole bunch more ethical, and all their staff (aka management) would be much more interested in accountability for their actions.
What is the U.S. Supreme Court going to do about that? Rule to invade the rest of the world to enforce the U.S. laws or rules on everyone?? You get the point, I think...
Well, given the US track record on on invading other countries to defend the interests of large pollitically well connected US organisations; I think I had better go start digging that bunker in the back-yard now...
Yes, but in the world with SPF, under your scenario, Comsat will only publish it OWN smtp servers as allowed (the customer boxes will NOT be published as allowed); thus the owned boxes won't be authorised, and people like me will reject them outright; unless they relay via Comsats own servers (which hopefully causes Comsat to wake up and take notice that their smtp servers have a giant outbound spam issue from certain customers, who they can then block until they are fixed)
...and just having accidentally purchased my first Copy Protected Disc here in NZ (which incidentally crashed my PC, and left it quite unstable as their damn software tried to automagically install, and failed to so - it also bolloxed up the registry while it was at it).
I was wondering if you could go after the RIAA in the States with your wonderful new Cyberterrorism laws?

Yeah, I can pay $NZ120/mo (~$US60) and get a rougly equivalent deal, but that's $NZ90/mo ($US45) more than I'm paying for my phone. So I'll take the 450 SMS message difference at $NZ0.20 ($US0.10) and still be better off.
"is that they can apply...[Australian]... laws to American entities"
Why Not? Americans are ALREADY applying (or trying to apply) their laws/standards to the rest of the world; or has everyone forgotten a certain Russian Programmer; and a Norwegian Kid; and the overseas implications of the DMCA already?
If you actually need to have people ring you for free, simply get an 800 number and point that at your phone.
But really, as most people have mobiles (yes, I'm talking about NZ (approx 60% of us have one) here, not Europe, and especially not the US), and lots of them of them have free minutes to make outbound calls with; it doesn't cost them anything to ring you anyway. It's only those poor saps (like telemarketers) stuck with landlines who have a problem.
My downloads have gone from about 45K/sec to 750K/sec since the southern cross cable went live (which by my back of envelope calculations is pretty close to the maximum our 10Mbit half duplex ethernet can sustain)
We've found there's absolutely no need to allow any ICMP into our network.
...and that shows how little you really know....
Try 'Source Quench' (ICMP type 4) which is a rather useful little number for reducing congestion on heavily loaded links (like when your T1 tries to drown someone on a 56k dialup, or an internediate router is overloaded). As it's originated by the drownee, it is inbound to your network, and ignoring it only compounds the problems down the line with retransmissions of timed-out dropped/lost packets.
What do I need SMS for??? Everyone I communicate with regularly has e-mail day and night.
Yep, and when you're meeting one of them in town in an incredibly noisy place (busy street, subway, nightclub etc) rendering the voice side of your phone useless - how do you find them when you or they have missed the rendevous? You can't just rush home and email them.
Um Hello! Mayby you people in the US never leave the suburb you grow up in; but much of the rest of the world DOES move around (and besides, how would you like it if your Philadelphia (sp?) walkman didn't work when you commuted to work in Boston?

Most of Australasia considers itself to be western nations, and we're about as far away from europe as you can get. Learn some geography man!
