Often makes me wonder, why does no-one sell PCs to people who cant afford a grand? When it is common to have a PS2 with keyboard and mouse in every house (and probably with some software protection that makes you actually buy it), who do you think is going to win then?
Are you the type who refused to ever say a password out loud, or even subvocalise it? Remember the BBS days when everyone was warned "Never use the same password for two BBSes cause the Sysop can read your password and log into other BBSes as you"? Remember Remote Access was the first BBS to implement hashed passwords (actually they were CRCed which is easier to crack) and every Sysop added an extra question to the registration procedure to make people enter their password again which would be stored in a file as plaintext?
pfft. Here's a tip, no-one is guessing passwords on your Microsoft domain server, except maybe the guys who are always standing in the kitchen drinking coffee and giggling. Back when I used to see a lot of passwords I noted two types. Dictionary words with numbers or punctuation replacing vowels and totally random passwords of the cryptic variety. Of the later, almost all of them rhymed. Ie, the 4th letter would rhyme with the 8th letter or the 3rd with the 6th. I believe these types of passwords are attacked by Crack quite effectively.
s/fosters/bud light/ - that's what aussies think of fosters. Fosters, it's Australian for urine. Here's a tip, when you're bars close at 2am and/or are closed on Sundays, dont go talking about beer like you know something.
The move represents a backflip for the Government, as the Communications Minister, Senator Alston, has previously maintained that the fact gambling sites were overseas would be sufficient deterrent to punters.
..and for extra credit, who in our Australian audience can recall how Alston came to this remarkable conclusion? Anyone? Anyone? Beuler? That's right, he figured ozzies would have to "make a long distance call" to use offshore online casinos. We all knew he'd figure it out eventually, who figured it would take him 12 months?
well, it doesnt appear to be a blatant troll. The last section is absolutely correct (being that is copied directly from here and the lawyer actually exists.
You embrace and extend protocols, not programs. You do this by making new implementations that are incompatable in very specific targetted ways. That's the biggest problem with this "essay" and I too expect more from an "associate professor". For people outside the US, a "professor" is just a lecturer, so an "associate professor" is just an associate lecturer, ie. A postgrad. Yah. Correct me if I'm wrong here, I dont know your wacked out academic system.
It is no wonder we take so long to get anywhere. How can you have an innovation race if no-one can agree who is winning? Maybe, just maybe, if there was something to drive the development forward you would see clear and notable distinctions between these rival formats/packages.
Perfect solution there pal. Except, you know, one would assume that the government in Canada is run by the people not by the media companies, especially not the ones that are not even Canadian.

Should be the offical slogan for Sourceforge
...and yet open source games projects get little to no interest from developers. Go figure.

Of course, anyone who has 'swordfish' as their password deserves to have their account cracked.
Head cracked more like it.

Black slavery, indentured servitude, child workers, wage slaves, migrant workers. USians should be the last to bring up history.
Politicians learn their brain damaged ideas from running the student union at university.
"The best cold beer is Vic" werd to that Neal Finn. And just to attract some flames, must say I'm achin' for a XXXX.

hmm.. the artistic license, isn't that the one that says all changes have to be submitted to the original author? Man, the GPL doesn't even say that.

That has to be the most inane argument I've ever heard. Except possibly for "If you dont like it move to Russia."
vaguely disappear and never be mentioned in future episodes?
"Give a presentation on your debugging technology, here's the templates for your presentation."
"Do I have to use these?"
"Yes."

you know, that would almost make sense.
We will stop caring about FUD when software consumers stop listening to M$ft press releases.

Does this mean Microsoft Canada can violate the GPL because it is "valueless"? Honest question.
Come on! Billy Gates aint that evil.
