well it may be law but it will never work in practical terms. people forget there passwds (i would like to help but i can not). friends use there computers (with the normal user acct any file could be something they did). most computers are not up2date (an evil hacker did it). 1 or 2 cases where "normal" (read: do not know the first thing about computers) people gets in a jam and this thing will fall.

As i read the posts in this thread, many refrences to tibet is made as an eksample of chinas evil past. I recently watched a interview with the dalai lama on danish television. msg was the same as allways with one major exception; he did _NOT_ say a single bad thing about china! in fact he seemed happy with chinas focus on tibet (and other areas in the region) when it comes to investing in infrastructure. in addition he stressed more then once that the china of today is not the china that invaded some 30 years ago. as i do not follow this issue to closely i was wondering if anyone here has a good link about this (as i see it) change of hart. (would google but i am at work and already spend to much time here on slash:) )
allbeit in most countries they are a person (legal entity). guess they get to chose what part of that they wish to follow, wish i (as a real person) could do the same.
/from article Earlier this month, the FCC came through, ruling that broadcasters would be permitted to embed a computer code, known as a broadcast flag, in programming. Makers of consumer devices capable of receiving digital broadcasts will now have to include a card that will allow viewers to watch and make personal copies of shows on VCR or recordable DVD player, but not to share them over the Internet./end
how would this be done? if you can copy it, you can share it right? or will my dvd-player know the AV signal its sending to my tv is not infact going to my tv but my video capture hw? if so how?
i do not see this thing ever working unless they get control of the entire pipeline, that is unless it becomes illegal to own hw that dos not support this computer code thingy.
Maybe BeOS, QNX or even AtheOS.
IIRC all of these are POSIX, to same degree,
so if they got a UNIX ver. of there soft, it may
work on these, not sure just a thought.
When OO doesn't get in the way it's beautiful, but it's easy to lose track of the performance drag all that double-dereferencing causes.
in 80% of the code, performance dos not matter (80-20 rule, if you like 90-10 or 70-30 better, so be it) you run thru it once so why go out of you're way to make it fast? easy read/change/maintain is more importent (sp?) OO
gives you that and if you need spaghetti code for speed put it in an Object it will not run any slower if you do so.
>Dmitry was selling copies of his software in the United States.
NO! he worked for the.com that did (if they did, IIRC; payment was handled by a US.com, the soft was not on a US server) it is _not_ his software (he wrote it thats all).
What I am saying is that it is a legitimate concern, and one that Slashdot defenders of free speach ignore at the peril.
Yes and they should! if a place is a danger to you're child you should not send them there!
you make the call! it goes for the big-bad-city it
should go for the internet!
and for those non-tech ppl just pull the plug!
you child don't have the password for you're dail-up right? (if they do WHY?)
If you fell _that_ strongly about it, why not make
your own soft, you have a god deal of info
on how, from his presentation, then you can fight
it all the way, will he can go home.
US law, let the US fight it.
Not many voted for Hitler, the SS/Party boys
simply showed up and sayd, you can vote for anybody, as long as it's Hitler and so, many did,
as would you.
not many will die for princepals. (sp?)

malsbert.
from parent: A company is not a citizen.
allbeit in most countries they are a person (legal entity).
guess they get to chose what part of that they wish to follow, wish i (as a real person) could do the same.
as other posters has allready noted, a lie is not necessary more "work" then truth, depends on the circumstance.
I wonder if this study can be universally applied of if it only applies to personal experiences.
Faro and colleagues tested 10 volunteers. / hardly a scientific study.
Or to paraphrase:
You allways just regurgitate, telling the truth simply means you need not modify it to much before sending it out.

would never happen! companys take care not to disclose personal information about there custermers!
damn this is goooood weed! where was i? nevermind...
MS has been trying to play down Linux for quite some time now and now they're saying it violates 228 patents. Yeah, I believe that.
_you_ do not have to believe, the uninformed custermers is the only ones that matters and they _will_ believe.
the system _is_ call'd TEMPEST not every acronymn means the same. look here

Psst, hey Buckwheat.. OpenBSD is unsafe and insecure, just do a google for OpenBSD exploits. Now try it with QNX.
