Considering the wealth of information about those in sanctioned countries and that Ashcroft is till the stormtrooper in charge of infromation gathering..I seriously doubt Monster.com actually did this..

We write Open Source Software to piss off Dave Winer (http://www.scripting.com) !!:)
Hey we have to have something exciting since we are not paid..:)
But seriously the stuff I am writing for open source..I worte to see more helpfull stuff provided to the independent developer in J2ME gaming so that we can compete against those forces such as Sega, Sony, and etc..
While it may be tempting to use the DMCA..you already have the right to use current or previous copyright laws to ask eBay to disocntinue the sales on grounds of copyright infringement..
Which basically means eBay must suspend the sales and suspend the eBay user until matters are resolved..Bascially becuase it sinvolves eBays strucutre within the copyright infringment they would have to do this even without the DMCA being in effect as law of the land..
Removing funding from a security project due to the low cost of the OS system as an excuse that errorist might get it seems highley suspect..
Let me explain why..
Terrorist are not look for those OS systems in which the US gov has access to code or eaves droping capabilities..ie in other words they are avoiding windowsOSes when they can in the first place and thus removing funding does nto affect their choice in any appreciable way.
While at the same time our biggest 'enemy' according to Pentagon is considered to be China..and China is schedule to code their own Linux OS..
If DARPA was really concenred with terrorist states getting secuirty technology from any BSD they could have limited the grant to US citizens only..and of course they did not do this action.
The favt remains that DARPA is so far behind security on OS systems that they are running scared rather than operate with knowledge..
The actual tools to defeat terrorism happen to be taking care of disadvantage pople to make sure that their human and civilization needs are met. Once US starts doign that as foregin policy rather than military flexing its muscles via their own short sighted economic interest we thenb have a lowering in terrorist threats and incidents.

should we borrow the lyrics from Lynard SKynard and do a proper Theme song?
Apple II the first Open Source liek Computer..Long LIVE APPLE II!
Wit three weeks when they find out that they can only play the stuf fon iPod..
Apple piad too high a price in the DRM they had to implment to satisfy the record labels..
Most ISPs are goign to refuse to be tax collectors without any extra money to cover theri efforts..they dont want the freakign hedache
Not to mention that most World citizens pay too much in taxes without beign able to vote on them in the first place.. we dont need more!
Funny you just proved your own point of not understanding irony..
Wh owns Unix IP rights? SCo
Who Set up to Make a brand New UNix(at that time)/ SUN
Now that is irony that old style unix xompany woudl be able to buy a new sytel unix company..
Of course you have no knowledge of SUn or SCO so why are you in this thread?
Their buyer is SCO?
NOw that would be ironic wouldn't it?
The good news of this decison is now RIAA can nolonger throw around false numbers..
You will find in further cases that RIAA will only be allowed to get $17500 as upper limit in damages per file sharer..
But in the long term RIAA has lost because it cvost them $350,000 to get less than $100,000 in damages..
Given the numbers of file shares out there..it woudl be easy to bankrupt RIAA through civil disobedience actions..
Is this clue of a plan? What do you think?
You have amiss conception not all jvms fully intrepret..
IBMs also do JIT as well about 40% of the time..

Would Hawash rather be tried under Treason charges?
...
Fro those of us who dont remember wwII
a citizen can be tried fro treason on grounds of takign up arms against the US..
The treason trial and charges are conducted by the military..
and you either get life or hanging..
Hawash should thank himself that he is in FBI custody as a Material witness
He could be in a military brig instead..
You know if they put Parody in big red letters written in blood..they cannot be sued..
Remember 80% of all spammers are the ones that believe in the internet myth of free money for no work and are in fact indiviuals..
..education will not work..
They are assisted by componaies putting out free or low cost email spam scripting scripts and engines..
FFA is a good example of this..in fact I just killed of an attack on my own email account over 3500 + spams from the FFA network of ignorant people..
To kill spam you have to attack the low cost access
Next they will be saying that poor security= innovation!
Wait its true?!!!!!!!!! AUGHHHH THE NIGHTMARE BEGINS!!!

MS Innovation that Steve Ballmer is referring is normally called,
..its only innovation was ignoring Security

Come on President Bush put your money where you mouth is..
