These ancient policies manage to survive due to the huge homogeneity of our population which makes it hard to challenge. I'm pretty sure that Jesus would spin in his grave if he knew that the Finnish state is collecting taxes for the church.
....and anyone can check your income by doing so much as sending an SMS.
Its worse then that, when I google my name it returns links to the newspaper articles that publish huge lists of people and their income every year. Maybe with the recent first real kidnapping for ransom they'll start to reconsider that.
They could hardly put in the proposal that they would like to rename the street because DNA was such a hoopy frood. So instead they probably figured that since he wrote "Last chance to see" they'd put in the bit about the environment.
I heard that during his testimony Fahmy's left eye kept blinking uncontrollably and that at one point, while raving about Clouseau, he absentmindedly amputated his pinky while toying with his Leatherman.
I agree that when you post anything on IRC you should have no expectation of anonimity. However, most channels including this one are not routinely logged. This means that when you publish such excerpts anonymously you give the reader no possibility to check whether this actually was posted. The severity of the text, your failure to publish its context and no confirmed source for the log made the whole thing look like a rather nasty troll. You (or anybody else on that channel) did not owe him anonymity, but having posted it, you did have to back it up.
He has one accepted/. submission which states his e-mail address as mailto:mkavanagh@gmail.com (user profile says 'email not shown publicly'). That address also returns a hit for user Pit on area51.phpbb.com, which has Matthew C./Matt Kavanagh several times in the source in its CVS repository. A guy by the same name posts in the php-dev mailing list under mailto:matthew@teh.ath.cx. This address can again be linked to Pit which states:

I hate to post this, but I don't see why Matthew would deserve the anonimity he denied Jani.
So 500 CDs is part of the production chain, 1 CD is not. So somewhere between 500 CDs and 1 CD it stops being production. Would that be at 2 CDs? 5 CDs? 20? If you produce the CDs one at a time, would that be part of production? We're not talking about copyright laws, these are specific child pornography laws.
This ruling has no implications beyond child porn. As you can see it refers to laws specific to child pornography. Why you think he would not have gotten in the same trouble for photocopying I don't know, are there any precedents? I agree that posession is less direct, there is a difference between raping a child, and paying someone for raping a child.
Burning the child porn must be illegal because it is part of the distribution chain that supports the production of child porn. What if he burnt it with the intent of selling it on? What if he burnt 500 copies? Or should there be an exception in the law that makes it ok to burn a private copy of your child porn collection? That way you could still arrest the real distributors, without vicitimizing the poor lone pedophile who only supports the abuse of children by purchasing the child pornography.
The prosecutor requested the district court to bind defendant over on all counts. Regarding the counts related to the CD-Rs, the prosecutor argued that MCL 750.145c(2) encompassed activity where an individual arranges for, produces, makes, or finances child sexually abusive material, and when defendant took the blank CD-Rs and burned images on them, he clearly created child sexually abusive material. The prosecutor noted that the statute defines "child sexually abusive material" as including any reproduction, copy, or print of a photograph depicting a child engaged in a sexual act. The prosecutor argued that, therefore, by copying, reproducing, or burning the images onto a CD-R, defendant "made" or "produced" child sexually abusive material.
Of course by reproducing the material, he knowingly became part of the chain, and therefore also part of the abuse.
I don't consider myself anti-slashdot, but must say that now with reddit I just skim slashdot as most of the interesting headlines already appeared on reddit long before slashdot.
Fedora has a new yum based tool called pup (the joke being that it's a python program->pup.py). It does not have a notification icon (yet). It shows far less info then up2date and does not allow you to select repositories, supposedly to make it more suitable for endusers. Experienced users may prefer up2date (or running yum from the cli) but considering its purpose its a nice tool for people who just want to get regular updates installed without a hassle.
The funny thing is that he rips that gun, and then goes on to put the following statement in his own source code:

That kind of policy was pretty common in the 50's. Phillips had a policy that women should resign once they got married.

That was Finland. It was called the Winter War.

Just wait until they start teaching them ID.

Considering that the BBC is funded by tax payer's money, and does not run adds, I don't think Google is causing them any sleepless nights.

here you can find some more info on what is likely to go into FC5.
This was done in Finland a long time ago. Even made it to slashdot.
does it make a 'wooosh' sound?
the web is also about being able to change content on the fly. So I really don't see what is wrong with adjusting your content to the situation.
Here, if the Chinese govenment blocks it, Google returns no hits for it. Of course since this is Google and not Microsoft, this is perfectly ok.
