I wish someone would explain to me, why they just don't sell the Iphone with a contract for AT&T service instead of trying to force people to use AT&T via locking the phone. I mean that's how it's done with all the other phones. If it is exclusive through a provider, you have to buy a service contract with that provider. Simple and no bricking... Mayby Apple and AT&T are just stupid.
It is amazing that the Customs Officer could not be bothered to actually look the trade mark up. I took this directly for the uspto web site.

Telling users of a software set that it has holes, so that they may protect themselves? or not telling them, but just the producer of the code?
Why is stating a fact in public unethical? I personally think a company that does not disclose holes in it's software to their customers in a timely fashion are unethical.
... that was the design decision that early UNIX developers made. The naming had nothing to do with security.
IIRC, in deed, you are not recalling anything you are just making crap up. It is amazing the this load of crap got modded up. You should loose karma for such crap.
It certainly is not like checking cars in a parking lot.
Ian sent a syntax valid (check RFC2821) mail header to a mail server. Said mail serve is attached to the internet. What the hell do you think it is for? Let me give you a clue. Recieving mail. The server should not crash/lockup etc. because it recieves valid headers. This is like having a building that callapsed if you knock on the door. You might claim you door was for entering the building, not knocking, but that would not make it my fault the building collapsed.
I think your example does not represent the reality of the situation. Javascript or VBScript embedded in a PDF file do not manipulate the PDF document. Well not with out essentially having a version of the acrobat libraries available.
These are just attachments. It is essentially using a PDF file as and archive. Which, I must agree with the originator of the thread. If you want to archive a group of files together, use software for that like ZIP and leave the "attachments" (aka arhiving) out of acrobat.
If you believe that only the Yanks were raping, murdering, looting, pillaging, and such, then you know little about the Civil War.
As for other comments in relationship to this, I am from the Northern US (Indiana) and now live in the south (Texas). People here are not particularly more friendly then those in Indiana. In fact, many are not friendly at all.
So, Poor education about the Civil war and unfounded comment about "rude yankees" do not endeer you to anyone nor provide any evidence of intelligence.
OK, lets make a more accurate analogy.
A Mexican resident stands on Mexican soil and shoot a US citizen on US soil. In what country have laws been broken?
Now, the US government ask the Mexican government for assistance and is ignored.
The FBI lures the murder in to the US. Ask the murder to demonstrate his skills. He calls a friend to send his rifle. When the rifle arrives, the murder is arrested with the evidence taken into custody.
This is a closer analogy.
I for one and not sure the FBI needed a search warrent to view the data they had down loaded. Police do not need a search warrent to control and take evidence at the scene of a crime. They need it to collect evidence at a suspected location of criminal activity. Constitutional law does not provide for protection of non-US citizen. There is not international treaty that prevents the US from acting in its own defence.

You may know something about Chechnya. I wouldn't know.
However, what ever crimes have been committed in Chechnya by chechens has nothing to do with what has happened in this case.
Here there were criminals stealing monies and resources from US citizens. The US ask for help from the Russian government, who did not even respond.
The FBI did not invite the criminals to comit any crime. They ask them to show there expertise as in a job interview. Why? So, that the FBI could sniff the ids and passwords. This is not entrapment, which you imply.
The only thing questionable the FBI did was tell the criminals that they were interviewing for a job.
The rights extended to non-US citizen by the US far exceed those extended by many other countries including Russia.
I personally feel these two got just what they deserve. They will have plenty of opportunity to defend themself in court.
I have one last observation. Either, you have a very small vocabulary or are not very well educated. The prolific use of vulgar words to make a completely idiotic argument does not lend anything to your credibility.

The KL10 more powerful than the VAX 11/780????
on
PDP-10 Revival
·
· Score: 1
The VAX11 hardware had virtual memory support. It was developed to support VMS, while PDP10 did not. The PDP10 was limited to 256K words of memory (36bit). The 11/780 had a complete 32 bit address space and similar processing speed approximately 1 MIPS.
My question is how are they going to effectively shoehorn GCC into such a small memory machine?
Many of the claims are just BS. It is still a 7 day week. He has only arraged the months as exactly 4 weeks, but that has nothing to do with how all religious holidays are calculated. Many are based on the phases of the moon which has a cycle of 29.54 days more or less.
I find it irritating that everyone keeps talking about the lowest bidder. These are people that know nothing about how US government contracts are awarded. Lowest bidder in not the only criteria. In fact, to even be considered for a bid the company must show the necessary technical capability. When the companies bid, each proposal is studied to see if it meets the requirements of the contract and shows good technical merrit.
To suggest that the US space program is dominated by the lowest bidder mentality is false and annoying.
The US has always been highly concerned with astranaut safety. To suggest otherwise is just pure bullshit.
"What part of free public resource suddenly becoming proprietary didn't you understand?"
That is the point. It was never a free public service you dolt. A couple of guys started it for their own benefit. And then they sold the rights to it. End of story. There was no law suit or anything of the sort.
I think the 15 largest ISPs should band together to fight this suit. That way each would pay a smaller part of the cost and they could put up a much more effective fight.
BT is just attempting to bully the industry and does not have a reasonable claim, but it may still be expensive to litigate.
CDDB was purchased from it's original developers by Escient. They did not sue anyone. They did not stop people from using the database. In fact, They have people assigned to maintiaining the CDDB database.
I suggest you investigate the facts, before you spout off. I have seen this same uninformed claim serveral times.
... approval. The FBI in this case got a search warrent, not at all the same as a wire tap.
All, they had to do was go to the county Judge and ask for a search warrent. County Judges are elected and may not even have a law degree. Besides it's the FBI, surely they wouldn't never do anything wrong or illegal?? Yeah! Right.
Because they did not have to get the same sorts of permissions from the Justice Department as they would have had to get for a wire tap. But in essence they did the same thing as a wire tap, however, the wire tap laws only cover voice communications.
The point is that they can bug your computer much easier than they can bug your phone.
The prefix Muli means mulitple or many while the prefix Uni means one. KT wrote the original Unix for himself thus, Unix verses Multics. Check out Dennis Richies website for some history of Unix and where he points this fact out.
I am not a microkernel fan particularly. But your comments have little do with the choice of using a microkernel design and more to do with specific implementations of microkernels.
QNX is a microkernel and it is small and fast.
HURD though fits into your critisims. It is large and slow. It might be possible to optimize it. But I won't hold my breath.
GaAs is much harder to work with then silicon. The cost would be greatly increase by using GaAs. I don't believe anything but very high end systems will ever use GaAs.

I am a polictical scientist, but I make comments out of my ass.....
Look at the ruling, The USSC just said they did not understand how the FL SC came to its conclusions and sent the case back for further consideration.
You limited analysis does not include all the bits of law involved.
Read the decision, then comment.
