I bet you're just sitting at your workstation snickering whilst you imagine people trying to decide if its satire or not:-)
I actually thought you might be serious until the closing line...
Given all of that, I'd say that Bush has done a great job at keeping us from a national disaster, and keeping the country together while the media tries to divide us.
One little pointer - you should've chosen JohnnyH as your troll account - much funnier for those in the know;-)
This really drives me insane - if the US government wants to do this to its people it should do what every other government that wants to limit information in its society does.
And that's set up a China style firewall around the entire country & limit its citizens information access within its own borders
I guess since things are so cheap in Russia, they get music downloads at $.01 per meg downloaded at allofmp3.com. I wonder if they can afford that. Hey, wait, I can get downloads from there for the same price as the Russians as well!
It isn't legal for Russians - they export the music due to a loophole in Russia's law. The service is not offered domestically.
and so far no one has shown how this is illegal.
Illegal? Maybe not - but unethical as the artist does not get paid.
You may as well use p2p networks for free - I don't believe it is illegal to download from them either (only upload/offer files)
.....On 4 October 1957, the Soviets launched Sputnik I..........America's first attempt to launch a satellite....was an embarrassing failure..... .....The space race was underway..... (much snipping)
WTF? The Russians get into space and later on the space race is on? Hadn't the russians won (by being first into space?)
Does Google have an area where real-time search queries are displayed?
Afraid not - the closest Google have is the Google zeitgeist
However - some of the other (crappier) search sites do.
The only one I can find at the moment is Metacrawler's Metaspy. God - just been watching it for a few seconds - it includes the gems:
* how to measure body fat percentage with a tape measure and scale * thongs for 7 year olds * ubaid alien * uncensored olympic gymnastic photos
I also found The Disturbing Search Requests Page - gleaned from some guy's referrer logs...It includes such goodies as 'clitoris size scale' and 'vampire "breasts grow"'
bringing passport documents into the digital world is sure to increase security."
Surely noone believes that do they? Why?
Digital is inherently easier to copy then analogue - I think this would decrease security.

No.
The attack vectors described are:
Exploiting this issue requires the ability to overwrite existing files which have a trusted or non-existant ZoneID. Right now there is no known way to achieve this in an attack mounted from the Internet.
and (in an email)
attached you find the copy of your access data you
requested. For security reasons, the file is scrambled and can only be viewed with cmd. To view it, save the attached file, execute "cmd" from the start menu, drag&drop the file into the new window and hit return. cmd will descramble the file for you.
Neither seem likely to be able to self-replicate without use intervention. So no worm then.
"We have investigated your report, as we do with all reports, however in this case, we don't see these issues as being in conflict with the design goals of the new protections. We are always seeking improvements to our security protections and this discussion will certainly provide additional input into future security features and improvements, but at this time we do not see these as issues that we would develop patches or workarounds to address."
Unisys stated that the response times, (which were instant at the demonstrations) were indicative of the performance that could be expected.
Unisys' configured a system that was fraught with functionality and technical problems. Information sought by a RACV claims officer could often be contained on several discs and frequently response times would be at least 20 seconds.
The system was, at one stage, no more than 30 percent functional and crashed on several occasions. Eventually the project was abandoned and RACV terminated the contract.
I hate to admit it - I worked for Unisys (Australia) back in the day (and still know many people who continue to work there) - and although they treated their employee's very well - it was hell.
They're so top heavy its unbelievable. They charge more then even EDS does, and the service levels you get frankly leave something to be desired.
Thank God all their Patents from when they were a real (not a sleazy wintel) vendor in the 80s are expiring - without that teat to suckle upon, they should die a fast death.
Q: How does this license treat commercial enterprise use over intranets and internal networks? A: Simply, if run internally to a commercial company, then the company isn't required to release source code back to the world. The license requires that if a user downloads the source they have the right to make improvements and not release these modifications. GNU GPL software in general addresses this issue the same way. If an employee has access to the source and has the right to make improvements, the commercial entity could probably view this work as work for hire and owned by the company and not have to be released outside.
I'm sure if you understand how a company can use modified GPLd software internally, you can understand how a company can use modified AGPL software on its intranet.

The rest of your comment makes no sense at all. Are you a robot?

Did not France successfully sue Yahoo! just last year for allowing its auction site to be used for trading Nazi "paraphernalia"?
No. They sued Yahoo! France
How do you ferilize your lawn with motor oil?
this is a private suit, not one brought by the government.
Backed by govt copyright laws.
Enforced using US government mandated trade agreements.
I don't see your point
Aaaaaaaaaaaarghhh!

Woops...
I misremembred this article in the Sydney morning Herald.
Some schill for the ifpi implies that allofmp3 have no right to distribute the music at all. Nothing about domestic/export at all.
I guess since things are so cheap in Russia, they get music downloads at $.01 per meg downloaded at allofmp3.com. I wonder if they can afford that. Hey, wait, I can get downloads from there for the same price as the Russians as well!

You're right - see my other comment in this thread.
*sighs* God I hope the fucker is voted out tomorrow.
If they had that many validated email addresses - they'd be the king of spam !!.
Nonsense!!!!
There's Only one King of spam in Australia.
It's Australia - we don't have can-spam, we have effective spam laws.
Under the Spam Act 2003 it is illegal to send, or cause to be sent, 'unsolicited commercial electronic messages' that have an Australian link.
You just choose the one you like & run with it ;-)

According to the AGPL FAQ, no you dont:
I'm sure if you understand how a company can use modified GPLd software internally, you can understand how a company can use modified AGPL software on its intranet.
Not too puzzling at all really!
