I went to the site and odered a copy of the CD. First Microsoft OS I have bought for many years, but for $US7.95 (including international delivery) the price is quite reasonable and comparable to the competition.
The EXIF stuff is stored in digital format so in theory could be duplicated. However the analogue components, including the shape of the lense, the relationship between the lense and the photo detector etc. will produce irregularities between cameras which will be truly unique and unlike digital differences, the further you drill down, the more obvious they will be.
Rather like linking a spent bullet or shell with a specific rifle, the further you look, the more the source of the bullet/shell can be proven or disproven.
The backbone carriers sell bandwidth to ISPs. The ISPs get funds to run their operations, including paying the carriers, from their clients. Their clients mostly buy the service from the ISPs so that they can browse the internet, or sell HTTP based services to the clients who browse the internet.
So, browser based services fund a large chunk of the internet.
"Just hoping you didn't mean to say WWW = Internet.."
In part I was. Reality now is that the internet is largly funded by WWW based functions. If they stop growing and start declining then that would likely have negative affect on the infrastructure.
It is easy to be less than serious about this issue but...
Spam pretty nuch killed newsgroups, it is its way to doing the same thing for email.
Microsoft is on track to kill the internet because it cannot deliver a product that can look after your average user. The problem is that unlike newsgroups and email, the internet is a significant contributer to world economy.
It is near impossible to educate users on how to be carefull, either the products must be secure, or we take a giant step backwards as users desert the internet because they cannot trust it.
And all because one company with adequate resources does not care. If they did care we would not be faced with this sort of stupidity.
" Solaris 2 combined with SunOS 5 gives us Solaris 7"
Solaris is a term for the OS, Window Manager etc. bundle.
Solaris 1, if it existed, would have been based on SunOS 4.
Solaris 2 is based on SunOS 5. Solaris 2.1 used SunOS 5.1 etc. After Solaris 2.6 (based on SunOS 5.6) Sun dropped the first "2" so Solaris 2.7 was actually called Solaris 7.
Right now Solaris 9 (should be Solaris 2.9) is based on SunOS 5.9
"There's still a few more elements I would like to see struck down, but some of the enforcement powers in PATRIOT have also made a difference in our ability to avert another attack on the scale of what we saw in 2001."
Oh really? What in the Patriot Act would have stopped terrorists with legal credentials (even if illegally obtained) from boarding then taking over the planes?
What would stop it now is that at least some of the passengers would know what was going on and try to stop them, even at risk of personal injury or death.
"About SCO The SCO Group (Nasdaq: SCOX - News) helps millions of customers in more than 82 countries to grow their businesses everyday"
And of course it must be true, many (but not sure if it is millions) of lawyers grow their business with help from SCO. Not to mention news services and/. bandwidth providers.
"The computer security community recommends that home computer owners never click on attachments unless they are expecting them from a trusted source. They also recommend that PC owners install and run up-to-date anti-virus programs to scan for computer infections".
They could stop sucking up to M$ and also recommend that home users consider another OS.
It would be a help to actually read the damn article. What Linux actually talked about was "they've subpoenaed me for a lot of emails, and I spent literally a week writing a tool to index all my emails, so that when they give a better criteria for me, what they really want, I can actually produce it."
No mention of archive or an archive type app there....
Actually it was the IBM mainframe environment plus the early stages of UNIX.....
In the earlier IBM mainframe days the source code for most of the OS was published, so that device drivers etc. could be written. And this were commonly shated. Not sure if that still happens.
And the early work on UNIX was always distributed as source, with the expectation that others could contribute.
Actually prior to Bill Gates etc, publication of the source of the OS was relatively normal, as was the sharing of development work between users.
Did you read the MIT paper? It is very clear that CAPPs is or will be less secure than the same resource put into random searches. The problem is that terrorists can test their CAPPs profile by simply going on a flight. If they are not searched on a limited number of test flights then they have a lower change of being searched in the future than if purely random, non CAPPs "assisted", searches are done.
Is "almost no radiation" low enough to pass vehicle emmision testing? And is it small enough to fit in the back of my Landcruiser? I just have this idea....
You misunderstand what SCO mean when they refer you to the SCO Source web site.
From Netcraft... " The site www.sco.com is running Apache on Linux." The source of their web site contains the full infringing code....

"Our webserver is used by more Forbes/Fortune 500 companies and is used by more secure websites. Apaches numbers are only high because a lot of amateurs use it"
Yes, IIS is used by many Fortune 500 companies, but so is Apache. My largest client "uses" IIS for a small vendor supplied internal application (so MS$ counts it as an IIS site). But 99% of internal and external web pages are served from Apache.
IBM is a very large organisation with a significant IT infrastructure. Apart from Microsoft, I suspect that every such organisation has a team somewhere looking at alternative desktop software vendors. But this is nothing to get excited about as such investigations, whether approved or not, have been going on for years. It used to be Apple, now it is Linux, who know what OS will be the hot alternative in a few years (Windows, I hope).
From the WP article... "The researchers concede there are many uncertainties in both climate forecasts and the computer models they used to forecast future extinctions."
Some certainties...
- the earth has been warmer in the last few hundred years than it is now,
- the earth goes through cyclic temp changes with a period of about 300 years
- it appears that we are now coming out of a minor ice age
Google if you want references.
So maybe every few hundred years 15% to 30% of living organisms die out. And likely 15% to 30% of new organisms develop.

I have a couple of issues with the logic that 2 copies of the song are being sold.
First up, is it not really a single user license to play the song that is being sold?
And, only one copy of the music can be played at any one time.
So how is the copyright holder disadvantaged by this?
