Well In New Zealand you photocopy your ID, and get the copy certified by a JP or Justice of the Peace who's job it is (unpaid) to whitness stuff, after sighting the origonal. we have out IRD (Tax) Number which is unsed in a similar way, but not much ID theft here, because one number does not = one person , and you can apply for a new IRD Number.

Kevin, what are your views on punishment for "computer cromes" vs violent crimes , it seems that looking at data is more of a sin than murder in the modern world. what is your viewpoint ?
So then MS isn't subject to European anti-trust laws, by your reasoning, since they are a US company. Not true. If you do business in a country, you're subject to their laws.

and I would guess in most of Europe That country's Branch Office is the one that will be made to comply / Turnup to Court
Kazaa has no offices in the USA, the USA therefore should not be taking this action under the pretext of having juristiction.
as an aside: When will the RIAA and MPAA Learn that most People like to own the Music , If I was to download music or other content from Kazaa I would only be using it as a try before you buy - see if the music or movie is any good. Then again those sony Copy protected CDs keep breaking my Sony CD-ROM which is replaced under warranty, Sony are paying for not trusting me, I might have to download MP3s of those albums or rip those albums so I can listen to them.
I wonder if there are any sample code for creating Linux drivers that may also have this issue?
Chances are Yes , if one Driver is Incorrect then everyone copied it blindly the source IS the sample code. This is one problem with Open Source, that errors propogate everywhere if they are undetected.
Of Course once it is fixed in 1 place the fix is easier to propogate too.
We sell between 20-30 PCs a year , the problem related to a preriod of 8-9 months when these Drives were Failing , I think we have replaced 90% of the drives sofar , summer is comming here, I expect more failures in teh comming months ! ( 1 last week )
It's related to a chip failure in a Cirrus chip on the board , your data is still on the drive , and you need another board (with the same potential problem) to recover it. I was replacing 5-6 drives a week a few months ago.
"Open Source" is not a competitor Linux Never would have got all this "Windows Killer" press if Microsoft was not a monopoly already I used DOS, I used Win 3.1, in 1994 I started Duel booting, in 1998 I upgraded to win95 because 1 application needed it. People develop because: 1. The Enjoy it 2. There is nothing that does what they need already 3. The Ego factor
1. Would Joe citizen buy Visual Studio for $4962.50 (list price for VS.NET in New Zealand ?) when hey can use something that costs less than their car? 2. If Microsoft had made a Kickass IE for X/GNU/Linux for no $ would Mozilla have had such an effort behind it? 3. Again people would develop for windows if it wasn't so expensive and if it was actually documented and understandable.
Let's forget these holy wars DOS/Windows was/is the only thing out there, people wanted choice, they couldn't find anything that Microsoft's Bullying hadn't killed (OEM Deal with IBM over OS/2 Anyone?) - I was keen on trying OS/2 Warp way back but nobody was selling it, and there was no software.
We Are NOT Competitors Microsoft We are Customers who you have upset If you did your Job Right and Stopped the Bullshit and Childish Behaviour, No other Corporations try to Destroy the Competition, then "Open Source" would not be a problem

I'm just sick of my PC heating my room to my melting point in Summer. I don't need much more speed than my Celeron 600 - but I need faster RAM and a better Motherboard HDD speed than DMA/66
Why can't Intel make a 1 GHZ CPU at a much lower Micron size / power Consumption after all, that celeron seems to add to the P133, P100, laser and monitor in heating my room to unbearable temperatures.
Arrgh this whole.com.org.net.edu system is outdated
the whole world should use.com.nz.com.us.com.it then a multinational can register.com.XX in every country it does busness and the pressure on.com addresses would be distributed my company/employer would only use.com.nz , leaving the same name open to.au and.us
the.com.net etc are all old ideas from when the internet was small and does not scale well over the whole world - maybe even have the USA use.com.mo.us or.com.ca.us
This could mean that typing ibm.com in nz points to ibm.com.nz and typing imb.com is the usa goes transparently to ibm.com.us

Oh my gosh no! that's getting to close to Communism and we all know americans hate that !
The state is not suposed to provide support and income directly to unemployable individuals like musicians like that:)
America the land of the Free, heh FBI, NSA, CIA, ATF, SS - you have more secret police than anywhere else If it wasn't for those nutcases hoarding firearms and undereducated criminals the government couldn't even justify having that many ( after all educated criminals get jobs as CEOs or record execs and then they can't be stoped....)
America pushing this crap on the rest of the world generate bad feeling everywhere.
It really pisses me off when america Passes laws that affect stuff in other countrys without any thought - hell I can't vote them out!
sure filters work BUT
here at work we have ADSL - which we pay through the nose for (Telecom NZ have a monopoly on the copper here) we get 600 MB a month and anything above that we pay $0.2 for - so this spam starts costing this busness money.....
Spam is the only marketing method where you pay to get the junkmail.
as an aside
Spammers don't even target their advertising because it's costs them nothing
the number of spams i get asking me to buy an american flag or offer free postage in america...
I'm never going to act on any spam and if a company spams me I will look elsewhere for the same product if i need it.

Kevin, what are your views on punishment for "computer cromes" vs violent crimes , it seems that looking at data is more of a sin than murder in the modern world. what is your viewpoint ?
Yeah, and manufacturers of CD-R's, harddrives and MP3 players should be dragged in court too.
Yay so Sony Music Can Sue Sony Electronics for making the "Net MD Walkman® Player/Recorder" which will allow you to "Record MP3s or CDs"
So then MS isn't subject to European anti-trust laws, by your reasoning, since they are a US company. Not true. If you do business in a country, you're subject to their laws.
