And what if someone wants to help with an activity that is legal and morally responsible (but with a dash of mischief) in a forum such as this...and the generalized procedures are used by others in the forum to accomplish illegal acts? Would conspiracy to commit a crime be limited to the intent of the msg. thread? Or could you be involved with the subject matter as a whole?
Except that my university checks email and net usage to insure we are acting correctly with our university net access. Even as I type this someone could be "looking over my shoulder". I can't log without exposure (through my university). The stated reason is to prevent napster participation.
Score: 4, funny... Seriously, this was my first thought: Would active participation in this thread constitute conspiracy? Could it be actionable to give good advice here?

c:\windows\Hosts
This file seems to have no effect. I am running Win95, connecting via ethernet to my schools T1. I also have (!) lmhosts, which seems to be for NT... Note: Tried rebooting after the file change. Neither Netscape nor IE seemed to notice the file.
But I would be pretty annoyed if my ISP blocked those emails. If I can't get email I request, then my ISP is
not providing the service I'm paying for. Unless you are requesting kiddie porn. The issue is how much worse is kiddie porn than Harris Polls?
Plug-ins are by definition not staticly linked. Am I dense or doesn't this nulify the license objection?

I don't mean to flame but I can't help responding. I'm using windows/IE as I write this, and I use SuSE (daily) and Irix (sometimes daily)as well. MS Windows is not the "useability" king the myth would have one believe. Gnome or KDE both excell at fundamental functions such as virtual desktops (which is too slow to be usable under windows) and configurability. I use windows but I also jump through the MS hoops to do so. The constraints of which I speak are *lack of feature* obstacles. Apologies for responding to an obvious bias.
Stage One: anybody can be forced to hand over encyption keys given any hint of suspicion of criminal activity (like recieving an email from someone who received email from a person under investigation). Stage Two: recieving email thats been encrypted is cause for the issuing of a warrent (since if you didn't have anything to hide you wouldn't encrypt).
When is the last time the US was really threatened with a continental attack
What its about is the development of missile technology in countries such as Korea (serious push for missle tech), Pakistan (nuclear capable), and various middle eastern countries that have serious money and a less than US-friendly heartfelt desire.
Its about development and timing. Querry: how long until 20 or 30 nations could fire a nuclear missle our way? Impossible? Its only a matter of time. Now? No. 30 years? 20 years? Eventually missiles will seem as simple as Cessena prop driven planes to much of the world...
The number (and quality) of degrees of freedom is orders of magnitude higher for the Net. I would suggest at the very least that while on the Net I get to hold my own spoon.:-)
Just as tornados outweigh social issues, so too is "the riot" outweighing causation. It is exactly like watching a car chase / explosion...little plot development but plenty of eyes glued to the set. Are they that afraid of offending someone? Do they think "we can't handle the truth"? Lowest common denominator? Whatever...I gave up TV news (except for what was then the McNeil Lehrer News Hour) for the Wall Street Journal long ago. Now its slashdot and the online NYTimes.
TV news *is* worth watching for the comic relief, up to the point it depresses.
The DMCA outlaws the circumvention for any reason even where you have a *fair use* right to the material. It is the circumvention itself that is deemed illegal. That is what makes it bad.
But their tests are based on systems that use a single Intel CPU and dual MIPS CPUs. So when two 300 Mhz chips = one 800 Mhz chip that *is* good, but not quite the same as saying the 300Mhz chip is as fast as the 800Mhz chip:-)
What about for each frame though? Is this basicly very very large matrix manipulations at the code level? Do the matrices only care about their neighbor's values or do they care about the elements that are like 10 gigabytes "that a ways"?
schools are no more than a Lincoln Tech
(tech school for cars, AC, etc.) for computers. Which is why computer science (as it is taught) is often not considered science by the sciences.
I have to agree that he didn't meet the stated requirements. And as long as the class was titled "learning to use [brandname] IDE" i have to agree with you. But if the class was titled C programming then the *requirements* were inappropriate.
I agree that its good to be able to switch enviornments. I also agree that its easier to teach when everybody uses the same tools. Lets just not call the class CS 101: C programming. Rather lets still have CS 101: C programming and rename the other classes to CS 101.1 VS ide, CS 101.2 CW ide, etc... The ide is *not* the programming language and shouldn't be taught or tested over *as* the programming language.
I disagree with the premise that ms windows is easier to use. I dualboot. As a GUI i find that ms win is both ugly and dysfunctional. I cringe. What it does do is work with all my hardware and interface with my school's intranet. Gnome/Enlighenment is truely beautiful (which shouldn't be discounted) and it is *functional* as a desktop. I can do things in the enviornment. It is also faster. If Win2k were as stable as Linux they would still have the weaker desktop because the gui isn't as workable.
That is right. Geeks prefer advanced, difficult, powerful user interfaces, whereas novice users prefer simple, easy,
"magical" UIs. This is because geeks already know their way around. They know how things depend on each other.
They have already mapped the Interface in their brain.
Agreed. I think gvim is a good example of the best of both worlds. The menus allow one to use vi as though it were windows notepad. Its usable and simple. Yet every time someone reaches for the mouse they see the ":[ex command]" that they could have used. Its a great way to learn. Perhaps we need a g_sed_m, g_awk_m, g_grep_m, etc... in the spirit of gvim? The idea is to ease the steep learning curve while retaining *all* the underlaying power.:-)
Yes, but what about quantum tunneling? That is alleged to be an instantaneous transfer...and a gent in Britian alleges to be able to quantum tunnel signals (though my chairperson disputes it).

I pay auto insurance. Does this mean I know driving is wrong/illegal and i will "have to eventually make things right."
But wouldn't they still have to pay the $20 Million even if none of the music was pirated?
