I actually had the opportunity to talk to one of my MEPs about it as I am a member of the same party and we were both helping with a by-election campaign. He does seem to have a fair interest in the issue - in fact, he was the one to bring it up, after asking me what my job was - and I have no reason to think that he is "bought". (If he was on the take he'd probably drive something nicer than a Ford Ka for a start!) Unfortunately I think that he has come to see the interests of these big companies as more important because of the large numbers of jobs they provide and which they would claim are at risk.
There should be a complete means by which to remove IE from the machine completely.
IE is almost entirely componentised, and most of those components are used by third-party applications (and even by some other parts of Windows, such as the Add/Remove Programs control panel in Windows 2000). Remove IE, and you break all those applications. You could just remove iexplore.exe, but what's the point?
Since the IP# is part of the ssh key, more often than not the login to the "same" server (by DNS) first warns that the keys are not the same (different actual hosts).
ssh keys do not contain IP addresses. They could avoid this by using the same host key on all the machines.
It's been done - Dasani is tap water. I don't see that the successful marketing of bottled water (which is generally inferior to tap water in taste and bacterial content) is at all specific to California.
The thing is, this isn't the intent. The summary is wrong. The proposal is about storing "traffic data" which means things like From and To addresses, request URLs, and so on. Now even URLs can reveal quite a lot of information, but not so much as the whole session.
Fluorescent bulbs have built-in transformers that require a specific (peak) voltage. Normal dimmers change the voltage so they don't work with fluorescents. However, you can get dimmers that cut off part of the cycle, leaving the peak in place, and these do work.
As I heard it, NTT deliberately chose frequency bands for their own PDC cellular system (used by DoCoMo and TuKa) that would clash with both GSM and IS-95 (CDMA) in order to protect domestic manufacturers and their own control of telephony. The Japanese government, being the largest shareholder of NTT and somewhat inclined to protectionism, went along with this. Japan did get IS-95 (CDMA) networks (J-Phone/Vodafone and AU) but they use a different frequency from the rest of the world. This protectionism made it difficult for Japanese manufacturers to sell to the rest of the world, so when it came to 3G NTT didn't try anything of this sort. DoCoMo is using UMTS (the 3G successor to GSM) though as early adopters I believe they made some quick fixes to it that make it slightly different from European implementations.
They can't promise that you'll be able to continue using the software you buy, because the owner of any IP that it infringes may refuse to licence it to them.
That assumes that we won't be making any waste during the next 100 years, which strikes me as incredibly unlikely.
I don't think it assumes that at all. Maybe it's best to store all high-level waste in this way for 100 years or so, then transfer to high-density long-term storage when it is less radioactive.
I also don't understand why if casks are so great, why not store them at Yucca Mountain instead of the Skull Valley site, which is open air and closer to Salt Lake than Yucca Mountain is to Las Vegas.
Yucca Mountain is meant to provide high-density, so maybe it wouldn't have the capacity for these casks. Besides, it won't be ready for another 10 years.
Suppose someone sends a single message from one throwaway web-mail account to another, getting it signed on the way. Then suppose he spams the signed message via whatever mail servers he normally uses - ideally zombies that won't change the signed headers. Am I missing something, or does this make DomainKeys worthless?
The default Debian install is the bare miniumum. Hardly if any services are running on a default Deb install.
If I remember correctly, a base installation of woody enables various debug services plus SMTP service through exim and allows access to them from anywhere through any interface. I don't feel like doing an installation now just to check that though.
Internet Explorer has no connection whatsoever to the NT kernel; it's just a Win32 application that can run on Win9x or MainWin or presumably WINE. There are privilege escalation exploits for NT that are unlikely to be blocked soon (e.g. shatter) but you could exploit them in "shell code" inserted into any Windows application with a buffer overflow.
I see no contradiction. MS does what's in its business interests. Occasionally that means breaking compatibility but usually it means going to great lengths to retain compatibility. You're talking as if you think I'm an apologist for MS, but that's not the case. I'm saying they try to maintain compatibility, not out of the goodness of their hearts but because it's good business.
Sorry, guy. But the search tool couldn't find that in that page. Maybe you weren't reading it correctly?
I'm not saying MS has changed. I suspect they would wilfully break competing applications again if they judged it to be in their strategic interests. I don't think this is likely to happen at all often though - the raised level of scrutiny of MS means it would probably damage their customer and developer relations too much to be worthwhile. In general it is in their interests to maintain compatibility in order to retain customers, so that's what they do. Raymond Chen's blog The Old New Thing describes some of the stupid things applications do that he and others at MS have worked hard to keep working.
The National Curriculum for English does not specify reading material that rigidly. However, exam boards may well require that literature essays submitted for their exams are written about works from a very limited list, and there are now only a small number of independent exam boards.

Ah, true, but that's not much of an innovation.
The Windows keys are just modifier keys for running commands, similar to meta, Apple or Amiga keys.

Obviously you didn't follow BoingBoing's link to the Intuit site.

These days, real printers tend to come with embedded web servers already. Mine is too old for that, but it does have a telnet server.
Most pop-up blockers still allow windows to be opened in mouse-click handlers since many sites rely on this for navigation.

It's not that difficult:
#include <iostream>
template<int n>
void foo()
{
foo<n-1>();
std::cout << n << "\n";
}
template<>
void foo<0>()
{}
int main()
{
foo<100>();
}
That already happened. AOL has blogs.

Uh, yeah, that's what "Chappaquiddick" refers to.

Huh? The latest version of IE is only available as part of Windows XP SP2, which of course is only available to Windows XP users.

You could have looked at query results beyond the first, but you didn't. You're an idiot.
