Section Four -- No unit or individual may use the Internet to harm national security, disclose state secrets
I should point out that China considers most information that they didn't originate to be a state secret. So, if you were to compile crime statistics by province over the last 20 years, that could be considered a state secret.
So it would be legal for the U.S. government to require that everyone in the U.S. (or their ISPs, at any rate) block all content which isn't "approved" for consumption by the public
That's prior restraint, and it is almost never legal. The only time i can concieve of when it would be legal is in the case of a clear and present danger - i.e., if somebody on Sep 11 were to attempt to publish Bush's real flight plan around 11am, that would be legal to suppress, IMO.
The constitution does not grant any rights, it only recognizes them. The one you speak of (Freedom of speech) states that you can say almost anything you like, but you still must bear the consequences. It does not say that I have to listen, but it does restrict the government from censoring what i say.
How is wanting a Unix for the i386 a reaction to Microsoft? More likely, he was at Uni, saw unix and liked it, and wanted it on something he could afford.
No it isn't. What I said was that various technologies are being misapplied for the sake of product packaging. This should be no surprise. What I didn't say was that it was always the case.
Java, LDAP and XML were created to solve particular problems - at which they have succeeded quite well. SOAP and.NET were created purely to try and grab market share away from the previous technologies
And they are all being used in various places where they don't belong, just because they are the fads of the day. How long before 'Who moved my cheese?' finds its way in to this list?
It isn't that the people who oppose this are rich. It's just that only those who are rich can afford to protest regularly all over the world. I'm sure alot of the people who oppose this would love to make hemselves heard, but they have to work at a job most of the time so they can eat.
I especially like the part you quoted where someone on gatt said that, basically, you can't defend people in third world nations because you're richer than they are.
you're finding a way to quietly violate their spirit while conforming to their letter. That's a great way to completely compromise the security of your company's IT infrastructure. Good job.
I'm just saving my boss the trouble of doing it himself
Yeah.. uh.. in normal pc's you only got one address space also
No, they have two (at least). A GeForce2/32MB card has 32MB of ram in its own address space. This may be mapped into the main physical address space, but it isn't necessarily done.
Okay, the class A/B/C issue has been covered, so I'll tackle the/n thing
When you see an address A.B.C.D/n, the high (first) n bits of the address are network bits and the rest are the host bits. This is usually used to route traffic - compare the network bits and, if they match, do this. They can also be used to aggregate network blocks or to subdivide them (they are usually allocated in blocks of n*class C networks. when you subdivide them (getting shings like/28 or whatever), it's called subnetting, and when you aggregate them, it usually gets labelled as CIDR, as it no longer follows traditional netmask boundaries.
Within each network, there are two speciall addresses - setting the host bits to all 0 or all 1. If all of the host bits are 0, you have the network address. If they are all 1, you get the net broadcast address.
In a/30 network, there are 2 host bits, leaving 4 possible hosts. Since two of those are reserved, you have two usable hosts. This makes/30 really inefficient and also the smallest possible network.
No it did not. The fact is, I should not be expected to make allowances for every immigrant that may possibly come into contact with my package. It is my responsibility to label the package in the languages that are dominant in the location i am shipping from and shipping to. It is the responsibility of the shipper to either label the package with equivalent messages in intermediate areas or else educate the workers.
Um, they register with an isp. send a load of spam. get kicked off isp
Nah, BGP routes need only enter into things when you multi-home (get a net feed from multiple upstreams) or carry your own net block around and they never show up for the average dialup/DSL user. Further, if i haven't explicitly negotiated BGP service with my ISP, I probably won't be able to propagate my routes.
he was going to write it at all, he might have wanted to try at least one other language when going from one country to another.
This is Canada and America. English is spoken in most parts of both these countries, so why should he?

Remember a decade ago when CD player DACs went from 16 bits to 18 or 20 bits, then suddenly the coolest thing going was a "1 bit" DAC (i.e., a delta modulator)? The buying public will tend to go for whatever marketing decides is trendy.
Actually, 1 bit DAC is better because of a few good technical reasons (which I can't give a full treatment of here, as i don't know them too well. But I will discuss them anyway). The main reason is that they sound better. One of the big problems with n-bit DACs is that you need to make sure that it scales linearly without any jaggy bits along the way, else the sound quality suffers. The cool thing about 1bit DACs is that they don't have this problem - it's either active or not, and variations just make it louder or softer. Even better, you can use a 1 bit DAC at a few MHz to simulate a 16 bit DAC at 44KHz. This makes for a part that is easier to manufacture (no calibration), simpler, and sounds better.
I hope terrorists that pose physical threats don't have any script kiddies in their arsenal
So, Al Queda is going to deface the DOD's webpage? Who cares? The article mentioned the ever present password list taped to a computer, which would imply physical access. I doubt the average script kiddie has the social skills to get that.

And of course, most of that stuff will just drive me away from mass media entirely.
that's fine - i'll grab a widescreen to 4:3 converter that chops off the sides.
Nope. They sue to harass, not win. So long as they can force you into court, they're happy
the creation, the design, all the good stuff... That comes from the US of A.
Obvious troll, but i'm bored...
Methink you are a bit myopic.
I always thought it's fair that US companies register themselves as .com without .country sufix. It's fair because internet has born in US.
That's not how it's set up. .com is for companies. No mention of them being US, just commercial. If you want a regional domain for the us, use .us.

if people that are opposing it are already rich
It isn't that the people who oppose this are rich. It's just that only those who are rich can afford to protest regularly all over the world. I'm sure alot of the people who oppose this would love to make hemselves heard, but they have to work at a job most of the time so they can eat.

Parody and impersonation is not forbidden by trademark and copyright law! Just check out those little peeing Calvin stickers!
Actually, those are probably illegal, or at least infringing. It's just that they're damn near impossible to get rid of.

What does that mean anyway? I'm always on the lookout for new ways to be profane.
XML documents that aren't designed to encapsulate a function call, but merely carry information.
in SOAP, XML is used to encapsulate function call ids and arguments - it's just data

SCSI is dead.
Just try and hot-swap an IDE disk. Then try to build a terabyte with IDE.
Let's hope they don't run IIS on computers with classified data, or at least don't connect it to the public net.

Galileo was jailed despite his 'strong evidence' ..what was his evidence just not strong enough ?
No, he called the pope an idiot in a book he published. Bad move
