Hey Copyrights, trademarks are fucked, I agree
Actually IE IS NOT FREE.
You HAVE to OWN Windows to use it. Its illegal to run it in an emulator if you did not purchase Windows. The IE EULA specifically specifies this. It even did that BEFORE the latest greates restrictivist EULA by MS.
Banner ads are not a price. There just another money-jerker. The REAL price is in the cost of Windows.
It can even be argued that this tactic is no less then an illegal couple-sale.
Where a single sale, FORCES you into another sale.
The MS legal loophole is to give it away for zero Euro (or YankeyDollers or Marsian Gemstones)
But was it made for Zero?
Wanna bet that the costiest single product for MS in the last decade was... youbetcha

I thought an important paradigma in security was transparency, 100 clear audit trail and all that. Thats why USA's NSA likes linux right? No foreign terrorist trojans in there..
It is not ok for an ISP to "police" there servers. They are not Police, they are ISP's. Moreover if they do start policing they in affect take responsibility of all the users do, and can be held liable for user actions.
My ISP does not *want* to be liable, therefore they have a strict "no police" policy.
Compare it to a telecom carrier, are they responsible for hate calls provided thru their network? There not.
The parents explicitly stated they had a child wish already.
The boy is NOT a by-product for a medicine, he just has been chosen from a bunch of cells cause he could provide.
But the child wish was already there.
Besides, as it 'hard to say what the psycholgical effect will be' as you agree upon, why say it will not be positive?
Apparently you think thats easy to say, which says a whole deal more about your mindset, then about the boys.

"Of course, we're supposed to put things in "My Documents" anyway"
Like the Director of this ISP startup did: Dumped his files in the My Documents he himself copied into his Home directory.
He logs of his laptop, and whils watching the directory in his NetPC (citrix metaframe) saw the documents disappear. The dir strucure was kept intact though, just all docs were routed to \\M$\dev\null\
I have yet to find a explanation for this MS 'feature'.
Deleting the bloody folder, and creating one named doc, to store his stuff in solved this 'feature'
The good news is, he does not trust Windows anymore at last.
I dont mind not having privacy, face it, privacy is dead really, get over it.
What is FAR more important is who is to have access to all that data.. If it IS NOT public, THEN only THEN I am scred.
Imagine the whole world being viddotaped from some sats.. On a high res, infinite backup scale.. We CAN NOT stop such a thing, it WILL happen. Sooner or later. Thats ok thou.. as long as I CAN SEE IT TOO.
Am I the only one who is thinking "weird" here? Here I am, on the most info-aware crowd on the planet, reading that it is -good-, and -usefull-, and fsck'ing -possible- to keep doopy little details about important tech secret.

Countries or individuals, who have interest in bio-, chemo-. nuclear-, infotech have like, the Internet -duh, to find information on priciples, the curiosity to keep looking anyways, the inventiveness to spy on us in any means, in spite of us spooking our national energy workers.
Maybe we should focus on education and free information, instead of censoring.

This is about news for nerds and stuff that matters. Doesn't it matter to you, as a freedom loving OS advocate, that the US has such fascist reflexes?

This story is about AOL, about plain old fascism, why isnt the person responsible being send to friggin jail? It is LEGAL in the states to act so? This is not yet another cyberpatrol story, which quite frankly, wouldnt be bad either, considering censorwares extremely dangerous potential, which we see lived out in full yet again in the Oh So free US of A.

With the rising of highspeed wireless networks like UMTS, there soon will be no need to serve low bandwith cookie cut pages like wap and inode
XML, UMTS (64Kb/s on wireless phones) will kill those soon.

It's loosely a knock-off of Napster. Maybe. Kinda sorta.
See it as a napster for ALL files (not just MP3's) without a central server, instead all the clients act as connection relays.
