Just to be crystal clear, the issue doesn't require ANY change in error pages. Bad encryption = error page (app doesn't know what/who/where etc.) Good encryption = proceed within the app with your injected and encrypted value.
Well, in at least the whole music/copyright discussion. Here's how. The position is obviously childishly absurd, even to the most brain-dead government worker. It negates itself quite effectively.
Unfortunately, it also negates the rest of itself as well, and I'd like to believe that there is something useful about it.
Oh, and don't be in a hurry to connect to a.mil site... (just sayin'...)
Who cares if global warming is caused by humans or not? Do we actually need to prove that to reach the conclusion that polluting its own environment is a rather stupid behavior for any living being?
Why, yes, it is important. If GW is caused by humans, we might be able to change our behaviour and eliminate the threat. If not, we're boned, just like the dinosaurs.
Personally, I feel the whole concept has been politicized to the point where no one's "facts" are trustworthy.
But did you load the thing? I did it in a VM just now, and it goes from boot to desktop in about two seconds. True, it doesn't support my NIC or my soundcard, but it's REALLY fast!
Oh, and for the FOSS vrowd, the 32-bit version is GPL2.
Just so it's out there, there is no such thing a Level 1 compliant versus Level 3 compliant. Compliance is compliance. All merchants are subject to the same criteria of compliance. The levels apply only to compliance validation. Level 1 merchants must have an on-site compliance validation by a QSA (or attestation from a qualified internal audit signed by an officer of the company). Lower level validation requirements require only a Self-assessment Questionaire from the merchant.
While I agree with the first sentence of your reply, that is not the condition you originally asserted. Your second sentence is irrelevant (and all the big players in logic would agree with me!).
What I am referring to here is the ambiguity of open source derivitive works. It's certainly not as cut-and-dried as you make it. In fact, this whole discussion is about that very ambiguity.
Strictly speaking, an "owner of the GPLed code you used" could not "press criminal charges". That's the job of a grand jury or prosecutor. And for that, the infringement would have to be huge, involve big money, and have pretty clear intent to infringe. Anything short is not likely to be a criminal case. How do you demonstrate damages with regard to the unauthorized distribution of a "free" product? I can only hope that as time marches forward, more judges and lawyers understand open source and the GPL, but for now, most are just plain ignorant.
No matter. I suspect we both agree more than we don't.
Not only would your profits be forfeit Please don't confuse could and would... but the owner of the GPLed code you used could press criminal charges Um, no. There would have to be criminal intent. Without intent, it's strictly a civil issue.
No doubt very "evil", yes. But what irritates me is this idea that working for the "greater good" = bad, whereas working for yourself = good.
Working for the Greater Good as defined by someone else (politics of the day, perhaps?) = Bad. Working for the Greater Good as defined by you = moral/ethical/enlightened existence.
Individuality is not evil. Blindly following the politically popular position is evil. See? Not really nonsense at all, now is it?
There are far worse things to make the population work for than "the greater good". "...as defined by the politics of the day."
There is nothing worse, oh Selective Quote Person! Bet you're a politician. No values, no truth, just BS your way into success at the cost of the people. Can't say that is an admirable position, but you'll fool some of the people some of the time.
You are out of your league here. You've taken rumor and your personal "understanding" and claimed it as fact. Not the first time somebody has done that in a blog post.

BZZZZZT! Wrong, thanks for playing! Formatting is not original expression (unless it's some truly artistic formatting). So, no, you cannot copyright a public domain work by formatting it. Before playing again, I suggest you familiarize yourself with both the Constition and Title 17. Have a great day!
You're right. It's a 4.77 8088 with 8 bit ISA slots. Now I've seen 8 bit IDE host adapters, but they were odd-ball in 1990, let alone now. As for whether or not it would "take" a CD ROM driver, of course it would. DOS is the same on 8088's and 286's. You would just need an 8 bit host adapter to connect it to. That would most likely be SCSI.
I remember my first CD ROM with a proprietary 8 bit SCSI adapter from the DAK catalog. Expensive and slow, but it worked!
I have DOS, if nothing else than for BIOS flashing. 200mb drive? Nope, BIOS limitations will keep you at 32mb or under. Unless you can find an old copy of OnTrack Disk Manager...
16 bit SCSI card, my friend. Adaptec 1542CF is what you want. Actually, a 16-bit IDE host adapter should be fine. I might even have one of those as well. Reply if you're interested...
Yes, I think the loss of (certain) cultures is a good thing. Slavery, male dominance, racial superiority, debtors prisons, monarchies, etc, are all things that we can do without. (Good thing I didn't mention Nazis, or I would have Godwinned myself. Wait, DAMN...)
In your defense, yes, there are certain attributes associated with various genetic groups e.g. asians tend to be smaller than europeans, etc. But to suggest that all white women are cheaters? That's not even a good troll. Try again n00b.
Funny thing is that you were modded up for the "Mod parent up." comment, while my comment sits untouched.
I admit that my screed might come off as an anti-japan racist diatribe from the likes of some right wing AM radio hack. (I listen to NPR, I swear!) But everything I wrote is the honest truth. Don't believe it? Find a japanese person and ask them. No kidding.
In spite of my comments, I find Japan and japanese culture to be wildly facinating. Its very interesting to see how Japan has adapted to maintaining social order with so many people in such a tiny place. Japanese ethnocentricity is SLOWLY falling away. Modern transportation and communication is responsible for the most of it, I believe. But the remnants of old Japan are a frightfully ugly thing.
(I'm thinking about getting the shirt from Jlist that has "Looking for a Japanese girlfriend" on the front in Kanji.;)
It is bad and/or weird. Japan, one of the most racist and nationalistic societies left on the planet (though not the only one left), practices many forms of conformity at the cost of the individual. Individuality is (sometimes literally) beaten out of the japanese since birth. There is no consideration of fairness, only service to the greater good, as defined by the politics of the day. I would be hard pressed to come up with a more accurate definition of institutional EVIL, quite frankly.
Yup, company-enforced smiling... Doesn't surprise me a bit. Most japanese will lie to you if they think that's what you want to hear. It's all about saving face, literally in this case. It's all a pack of lies to strengthen the greater good at the cost of the people. It's a broken model and should be treated with scorn and derision. It is bad and/or weird.

Um, if they have physical access to the computer (in order to monkey with the power), why would it be considered secure?
