Also for those people attacking the 640K limit, what would they do instead? Realistically there was no choice. The 8086/8 architechture required there to be RAM at 0K in the memory map. It also required some portion of the memory map to be allocated to devices. That gave RAM at the bottom, hardware at the top.
library functions can only be part of the answer. Two different languages can have the same accented characters, but different rules about case conversion. You need to know if it's fr_CA or fr_FR.
What a good idea. You could have a special boot sequence setup, so that you need only boot from the first CD, and type "linux mediacheck", and it would validate all your CD's. Who's going to tell Redhat?
It's even worse in some languages. You have a single letter for one case, and more than one letter for another case. German is a good example here, The sharp S character is ß (ß) in lower case, but SS in upper case.
Don't forget that the certificates cannot control the data once it's been uploaded to the server. How many attacks have their been where the DNS was redirected to a false server compared to how many have there been where the true server was compromised? SSL certificates are a solution to the wrong problem.
I agree total anarchy would be unworkable, but there is a level with less control than we have now. Instead of the FCC saying that licensee X must use band Y with modulation Z, then it could simply allocate spectrum, and allow the linensee to use it as they see fit. If TV stations think that going digital is in their best interests, away they go. On the other hand, if they think that they should stay analog, then that's what they do.
In both cases the goal of the company is to make money for its owners/investors.
Not neccessarily. The goal of the comapny is to act in the way that it's owners/investors want. In many cases that means making money, but for many others that means making no money at all. A good example are many hospitals.
The 'offical' target for analog switch off is 2006. Almost everyone now agrees this date is unlikely to be met, simply because of the reluctance for consumers to adopt DTV at the schedule that the FCC made up for them. It took from 1964 to 1985 for Britian to eliminate 405 line television - in an era when TV equipment was unreliable and with short lifespans. I would be suprised if analog TV could be replaced any faster than that.
'The third rail' should really be 'The third rails'. No subway system has a single third rail which powers the whole system, they're always broken into short sections.
I don't see any reason why there can't be an unpowered third rail specifically for returning power at the stations where most of the braking will take place. If for some reason a train gets stuck there, then the power can be turned back on for long enough to get the train into the next section.
Anyway, what's important security-wise is that local routing doesn't require an SMTP server.
It might, some apps are configured to alway sconnect to a SMTP server to send mail, that way the app only needs a single configuration regardless of if the mail is to be handled locally or remotely. If this is the case, then it would be best if you configure the SMTP server to only allow connections on 127.0.0.1, and use this in the application.
This isn't actually a new thing. Listen to some old time radio shows, and the sponsor was part of the show. The reason that the industry moved away from this model to the adverts in the breaks models we see nowadays is mainly because of reruns - you don't want a program with last years message being shown.
XML is about as simple as it could be. You certainly don't need any expensive tools to deal with it, and most languages have free methods to decode & encode XML. It's especially simple when you compare it to COBAL block length formatted data files, or EDI X12.
The legal term to use in search engines is "First Sale Doctrine". Basically is says once you've sold something, you can't prevent someone from selling it again
very interesting at analog turn-off in 2006 without
IF there is an analog turn off in 2006. By now, according to the original schedule, by now every commerical station should be dual broadcasting, and every TV sold should be DTV capable, to get 85% penetration by 2006. Current estimates say there will be 30% penetration by 2006, and I personally think those are optimistic. It took the UK from 1964 to 1985 to phase out 451 line television, and this was in an era when TV's were unreliable with short lifespans.
In addition, the original reason for cancelling analog has gone. In the late 90's, spectrum was seen as a resource which you could sell almost without limit - Telecoms were on the up, and new uses were eating up more and more spectrum. Since then, telecoms haven't been doing so well, resulting in auctions in both the UK and US that have been disasters for the companies involved and the governments trying to sell the spectrum.
Ada wasn't designed to be small and clean. It was designed as a 'catchall' language, able to do everything from low level system programming - replacing assembler & C to the highest possible level application program. You can't really make a small & clean language, and hit both ends of this spectrum. On top of that, it was realized that a lot of the 'bugs' in programs are preventable, because they are caused by the programmer not properly handling error conditions. So they added in features which make it harder for the programmer to screw up. Together, this means that Ada is a very large language compared to other languages of the 70's, however you don't have to know all of Ada to write a program, especially if you're only working in one problem domain.
As for the requirement, as of 1994, is that Commerical off the Shelf (COTS) is the prefered choice, whenever it meets their needs. Failing that, Ada is required, but waviers can be granted if they are cost effictive, and that the proposed alternative does not compromise the goals of the project - in particular the safe programming practices that Ada requires.
Large businesses often have an offical 'whitelist' model anyway. Their computer support depts. install the software, and the majority of their users don't have the knowledge how to install new stuff. So what happens? Word viruses, Excell viruses, Outlook viruses. It's no good having a whitelist if your whitelist includes programs with vunerabilities, and unfortunatly a majority of applications DO.

You're assuming that their only expeneses are the webcasting royalties. This is obviously not true.

If it doesn't do so out of the box, then that's not relevent. The vast majority of people are not capable of, or interested in, XUL configuration.
Isn't it much more significant that the spindel is only visible on one side of the disk, with the opposite side being solid plastic?
I think he's saying NYT, because NYT is the registration required website which has the highest likelyhood of being on /.?

In order for there to be a test case, the law has to be broken.

Except that the DVD consortium would claim that it's a violation of the licensing to use a UK DVD player in the US.
