Once when opening a credit union checking account they asked for an SSN, they wanted to use it as an account number. Of course that meant it would be helpfully printed on each check we wrote.
I asked if I could just make up a number since I did not want my SSN floating around on my checks with my address and name. They said yes as long as it's unique so we tried a random number in their computer and it came back unique. They let me use that.
If Microsoft applications started "backing up" documents by sending them to Redmond it would be detected (If only by increased bandwidth at the main router) and the hue and cry would be deafening.
A sudden change in in or outgoing mail traffic will also be noticed.
No matter how ironclad the agreement or how draconian the penalties your data will still be public. Sue Google into non existence and well your data is still public.
Without physical security there is no security. If you don't own the box and control access yourself there is no physical security.
You might not like it if you only drive Dodge automobiles, but Ford takes your picture to use on their website as though you suddenly like their cars. (ob auto analogy)
But the goal is to get new programmers interested in the craft. Burden them not with efficiency, How the machine works at a bit level (unless they want to write drivers right off).
I am not sure which programming language may be best but it will be:
1) fun. Remember our subject has -never- programmed before.
2) easy to program (try to avoid a bunch of system.screen.text.print('duh") when print("duh") will suffice.
3) Has close in support (i.e.) It is the parent or mentor's favorite language.
4) Should support good programming; so it has all the proper control structures and includes variable scoping.
Actually, I think that if you 'pirate' enough copies of Microsoft products, Bill Gates (or perhaps Steve Ballmer) would love to see 'people with guns' sent to your location.
BTW in the page you link, the word 'gun' does not exist. I read it, then I searched it. Stallman does advocate that all software 'should' be free, even to the point of comparing the owners of proprietary software to 'communists', but I believe he still leaves it up to each person whether to GPL their own software or not.
It should be the choice of the 'owner' of the software since GPL takes rights from the original author in trade for the common good.
So, put slots in the card table to hold the cards.
make the cards magnetic.
Simulate the cards on a computer.
Play a game where you can hold all your cards in your hand.
hmm make up a new game where some cards are dealt facing you and you get to see them and other cards are dealt facing away, and the other players get to see them....
With ISS we learned how to build larger structures in space. We learned how to work together with other countries to build modules that must fit together "airtight" and must pass through the 'eye of the needle' shuttle cargo bay to get installed. We are learning how to make a space station more and more self sufficient. (here have a nice cup of cold 'water')
Nuclear is great in theory. But in reality, nuclear power plants take 20+ years to build, so they are hardly a realistic solution to today's power problems.
So lets wait five years and then not have the power for 25. Why don't we start right away, and start by building reactors that *do* use radioactive waste as fuel.

Funny, The government seems so keen to 'harmonize' so many facets of law with our European friends, why not this? hmmm?
Except you usually don't have any say in who your outsourcer hires, nor any direct contol
over their actions (the individual admins that is)
Also an in house employee has more to loose if your company is forced out of business due to
the loss of data or I.P.
(including for existing contracts) from the summary
I love how they change the contract after you have agreed to it.

Because they are a part of the treasury department. They who enforce copyright.
This same treasury department inspects incoming shipments for counterfeit goods
like Nike shoes that were not made by Nike.
To be really sure you must separate the layers with a dielectric like waxed paper.
If you make multiple layers of tin and aluminum foil be sure to connect like layers together.
What was it about Wolfenstien that gave me such a sick headache? Poor frame rate?
Well I was going to go with an atheist being forced to advertise a religious gathering... but I didn't want to spark that much controversy.

And not all the modules are ours (the US's ), right?
What are we just gonna take our toys and de-orbit them?

It goes:
A people who will not be ruled by just law, must be ruled by tyrants.
Steal is such an ugly word, We imitate, borrow, emulate.
You know as is imitation is the best compliment.
Wasn't there a proposal in the works for a fully cryptographically signed DNS system?
I use openDNS; "www.google.com" and "google.com" seem to bring up the same page (in firefox)
What should I see - OpenDNS's search page right?
