they are accountable to who pays. you buy a service directly, you get accountability, you use a "free" advertising-supported service, the advertisers get accountability.

china could possibly have a ton of legacy DOS apps that people use. they are, after all, not used to high end, high-memory windbloats machines in every household.
if "the law" were the case Intel would be quick to SAY SO and thus letting themselves off the hook completely. they are being way to elusive about why they wont do it.
so, did he REALLY find many bugs, or did he find just a couple bugs that manifest themselves with many variations of html that really are doing essentially the same thing?
the University of Waterloo had a similar concept with something called "suw"
basically a su command that allowed authorized individuals to have their own root password. the root login account itself had unusable password.
each authorized users suw password was of course kept in a "data store" (a private passwd style file) and logging of its usage was done to provide an audit trail.
the excuse is that if the shuttle is damaged, it wouldnt be able to get to the ISS which is in an entirely different orbit? presumably a fuel issue?
so they want to waste money researching and perhaps building an untested robotic system, and then *launch that*.
couldn't they devise a method for using a soyuz to propel a shuttle to the ISS. then launch at same time (or have ready to launch) a soyuz? (or if the soyuz has the room, simply take the shuttle astronuats home directly.)
surely paying the russians for a soyuz launch is cheaper than a robotic development program that probably wont do as well as human repairmen? and infusing money into the russian space program may not be such a bad idea anyway.
oh wait, cant have other countries helping, that would be just plain un-american. much less embarassing to abandon useful technology.
can someone be blamed for doing a denial of service to a site that Does Not Exist ?
how about some scripts to pump out requests to a fairly limited set of known to be Non-Existent domains...
could this possibly cause an interesting burden on Verishit's servers?
would the name lookups themselves affect DNS too badly to cause innocent collateral damage? i'd hope caching of a limited set of non-existent names would avoid much dns load.

Tell that to the folks Inside Intel.

really not too difficult to comprehend is it?

rush hour? i thought the whole point of this project was to avoid
urban centers...
hopefully entrance/exit opportunities would be SEVERELY limited, or
the whole thing will be a waste of time as cities grow like fungus
around it.
i already have been making a habit of downloading executables and
md5 summs from DIFFERENT mirror sites when multiple sites are
available.
not sure it really improves security, but it gives me a warm fuzzy
feeling... oh wait, that's my bladder again

wasnt NTFS (version 1.0) heavily based on os/2 HPFS ?
so, probably a goodly chunk of it is not patentable by microsophistry.
or the error rate falls to zero. :)
cant have errors if you dont have output
so, did he REALLY find many bugs, or did he find just a couple bugs that

i bet the cops and government agents themselves snoop in on
open networks whenever posssible.
it would not be in their nature to resist.
and quiet(er) too!
two sockets == two noisy fans
1 socket (dual core) = one noisy fan.
smp scaling without the noisy fan scaling is a good thing!

this is at least 16 or more years old.
