Except: as an administrator, if you *really* want to read someone's mail, you can re-register and re-certify that person, thereby generating a new ID file, which will match the entry in the.nsf's ACL. You then Switch ID to that user, and open their database. The ACL reads Davitt J Potter/CIA/GOV/US, and... well, you're in.
This won't work if the mail is encrypted, because if you create another ID with the same name, the public/private key combo is different. Therefor the only thing you may be able to read is the subject line. The message body will have been encrytped (you can encrypt the DB itself, and you can specify that all emails you receive are encrypted too).
I'm not sure the exact wording, but under the consumer guarantee act, DVD players in New Zealand must be able to be "de-region locked" - it is contsidered a restraint of trade otherwise. Parallel importing is also explicitly allowed, for the same reason.
The govt. does seem to be bowing to pressure from the US govt. and the entertainment industry in that it may prevent newly released titles in being parallel imported for 6 months, and all parallel imports would be assumed to be illegal (i.e. conterfeit), unless the IMPORTER can prove otherwise (dumb idea).
No necessarily so, as there is no sure way of telling whether the user was aware they were signing the "document".
With a conventional signature, once you ascertain that the signature is valid, and performed by that person, you can be reasonably sure that they were aware that they signed the document.
Novell virus ? Viruses would traverse a file server, or infect the boot block if booted of a boot floppy, but I don't recall any Novell specific virus.
If you really want to go that way, run Domino on Linux. You can then access mail via your browser, POP3 client, IMAP client or WINE/Notes client.
A proper replication system, a manageable "global address list" and easy to restore. Proper security and very little worry of getting "done" by viruses. Cluster it across operating systems if you really want (cluster Domino/Linux with a Domino/Sun with a Domino/W2K with a Domino/AS400 etc.)
But if you just want email, then IMAP will do just fine. And you have a choice of many different, extremely well tested servers.
Remember! The US has the SINGLE MOST EFFECTIVE health care system in the world. And it's far from perfect, but thanks to federal research, and even the system it's under, people are living longer and healthier than ever before.
Err.... bollocks. That would be France you were thinking about, with Italy ranked number two (or so says a relatively recent survey). This survey had the US in number twenty or thirty something. France spends way less than the US on health care (as a % of GDP), but seems to have, according to this survey) a much better healthcare system.
It is thought that the increase in fresh cold water could disrupt the "Atlantic Conveyor" effect that gives rise to the Gulf Stream. If this stopped, or diminshed significantly, many areas of Europe would have considerably colder climates (i.e. more like central Russia, but colder in the summer too).
Australia and NZ have the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Some parts of NZ aren't that sunny either. Compare the skin cancer rates from places like Nelson (the sunniest area, top of the SI) and Arizona, and you'll find the skin cancer rates far, far higher (even though Arizona probably has higher sunshine hours).
Burn times are measured in terms of 8-10 minutes in the summer, and its worse by the beach/water. Even out of summer you can get seriously sun-burnt.
From personal experience, the burn time in NZ is far shorter that the burn time in the tropics, and I'm talking small, pacific islands tropics, not a polluted metropolis.
Actually, in the US you get the old TDi motors, because your diesel fuel's sulphur (ok, sulfur) content is too high, not due to the 150bhp TDi being too dirty.
Current pollution regulations for cars are very similar across the EU/US, with the possible exception of California.
fuel consumption is only one part of the overall energy/pollution equation. We'd probably be better off being able to fit new power plants and more efficient transmission systems to existing cars.
Greenies prattle on about electric (and current hybrids) forgetting one of the major parts of the cars' make-up that is quite toxic - the batteries, which need to be changed on a fairly regular basis.
BTW, there are quite a few "standard" European cars that get comparable mileage and better performance than the Prius/Insight, and are far cheaper.
Oh, I dunno about that. Christchurch (in winter admittedly) does a good smog impression, mainly due to a temperature inversion problem right above the city.
Wellington air may be polluted for all we know, but is usuall transported to Santiago by the wind before anyone gets a chance to notice;-).
(I once read that a "clean air standard" was taken just off south cost of Wellington)
A concept similar to this was shown as an infinitely variable "automatic" transmission - the amount of "wobble" affected the ratio between input and output, and did away for the need to incorporate any type of wet or dry clutch.
Another interesting transmission system, loosely based on similar principles can be found here
What is worse, its whole look, think and feel is so incredibly 'microsoftian' it really hurts. Config change ? Fire up Yast, change settings, reboot
Hmmm, you've obviously not used it recently. Never have to reboot when I use yast to make changes.....
As for your other comments about yast overwriting changes, your skills are obviously not a 1337 as you think. The documentation quite clearly tells you what to do if you don't want yast to overwrite your changes.
The "urban myth" regarding the Airbus crash is quite obviously false.
The idea that the computer would not allow power to be applied because the aircraft is low, has its landing gear and flaps down (oooh, it must be landing thinks HAL) overlooks the point that applying power in the "landing configuration" is a necessity for the standard "going around" procedure.
Going around is where a pilot aborts a landing for various reasons, and goes around for another try. Full power is applied, sometimes at very low altitudes. The computer would not prevent this. Power is also applied for "sinks" close to the runway, difficult weather conditons etc.
As others have said, non-disclosure agreements should be enforced. But, the only way any company has any right to stop me working in my chosen field, is to PAY ME for the time period during which they do not want me to work for the competition.
I have deleted non-competition clauses and never been questioned. However, in the countries I have worked in, these are unenforceable anyway (funnily enough, all of those which had NC clauses were US based companies).

Yep, insuring would be a good option, to ENSURE that if this does happen, you're covered ;-)

Action keys were also on the Unisys B20 series, which ran BTOS (CTOS clone).

There have been two or three high profile cases of Dutch players failing dope tests just recently.

Does the sound work? I'm having problems getting the sound to work with SuSE 7.1/KDE2.2.1 using the ALSA drivers.
Everything else works, apart from getting docking to work with X.

Well there is a laser "pickup" turntable available
from these guys (http://www.elpj.com/). A tad expensive mind.....

Err, they didn't. The history of "Ireland" goes back a long way, and it's nice and complicated!
Holland ruled them (William of Orange, King Billy) some time ago too.
Neither, especially when both of them are the same being/god. Same dad, different sons.
I noticed the exact same pattern. First it started with two attempts from one address, now it's two attempts, pause, one attempt.
Fascinating...
I can't remember the exact details, as it was more than a week ago, but IIRC, OS/2 Warp (4.0) was doing this before windows update.

But this sort of feature has been available in Notes/Domino for some time. This could be then accessed via a Notes client or Browser.
