Is it just me, or does it seem funny that Corel have said: "...this site will no longer be available as of March 1st, 2002...", and on the very next line: "At Corel, we have developed a strong commitment to the Open Source community..."?
I'm an Australian, and it upsets me to hear people from other nations badmouthing my country.:(
What we had in this case was a boat load of illegal immigrants. The key word here is illegal. What is wrong with spying on communications regarding illegal activity?
Wouldn't you be annoyed if someone broke into your house, and started sleeping on your spare bed? Wouldn't you want something done about it? I know I would, and listening in on their communications is a step in the right direction, for solving the situation.
I hope it is the end-all solution too, but I doubt it. Nuclear fission has always been condemned by environmentalists, but it is much cleaner in comparison to fossil fuel burning.
I doubt that fusion will survive implementation without similar scarring.
A good idea, but one of the biggest problems with that is not only age, but locality.
I'm from Australia. I used to play Larry with the ctrl-x cheat because many of the questions were about American issues. Most Australians aren't up on US politics. I've only just found out that Spiro Agnew (sp?) was a politican of some sort!:)
I can just imagine being unable to access a porn site, because I don't know George Bush's middle initial.
As I said earlier, it's a good idea. The authors of the questions would just have to be careful with their choice of subject.

The arrival of SHTML, ASP, and other standards did not kill HTML, so why would C# kill Java?
Any hacker that sees an open Windows machine will think to himself that it's just another dumb user, with nothing worth investigating.
However, if they see an open Linux machine, they'll wonder to themselves what goodies are lurking on the system that are worth protecting with Linux.
Linux boxes attract more hackers, merely because Linux is more secure, and therefore more likely to yield something interesting when busted open.
Most ISPs don't support Linux for two reasons.
1) If you use Linux, and you're clever, then you should be able to fix your own problem.
2) If you use Linux, and you're not clever, then you're a security risk, and we don't want you.
Think about that for a while.

If mass-murders have not slowed the sale of hand weapons, then anthrax attacks will not slow the usage of paper mail.
