Isn't this price structure the sort of thing that encourages Perl and discourages Python? (as in -- use the fewest characters and whitespace so the cost is less...)
Tim Berners-Lee's other project, the WorldWideWeb, took a couple years to become well-known. (four years after conception, only.1% of the backbone traffic was due to WWW) Give it some time.
It [using chapter titles] harkens back to the sense of pure fun, imagination and excitement that characterized the classic movie serials and pulp space fantasy adventures that inspired the Star Wars saga.
Gag me. Worse than merely being cheesy, it's an evil blend of marketing and cheese.
I mean, if they really wanted to enforce the ban, they can just do a sweep of their network and tell you to know it off or they will pull the plug.
They don't even have to go to that great of an effort. All they need to do is have their routers check a single bit in the TCP header to see if it's an incoming SYN packet, and ignore all of those.
I assume they haven't done this because it would piss off ICQ users and such. And I think they really mean "no bandwidth hogging servers".
But they could easily block incoming SYN packets on specific ports (in fact, they have the ability to do this, they're doing it for a very limited number of ports (netbios)). I assume thir unwritten policy is to be nice, but they want to have a legal safety net there for when they want to start swinging their axes. Kind of strange, I think.
If you consider that @Home's acceptable use policy explicitely says that running servers isn't allowed... there are two interesting things to note. First, there are a lot of people running public web servers that @Home just ignores. Another thing is that it probably wouldn't be a problem legally for @Home to minimize the impact of code red by blocking port 80 traffic like they did with port 137, at least temporarily.
Even without UCITA, producers can put contracts on the outside of the shrink wrap, and indicate that breaking the shrink-wrap indicates agreement to be bound by the contract, no?
According to an interview with a real lawyer (see shrinkwrap question), rights given to use by copyright law are simply the default rights. Even without DMCA or technological measures, it was my understanding that companies could simply say "by opening this package, you agree to...", and procede to place much stricter restrictions on you than copyright law does.
So it was my understanding that fair use can go out the window at any time, regardless of DMCA. Am I incorrect in my understanding?

Yeah, but of all the professions, sales and marketing people know how to bullshit the best, so it should be the easiest for them to find new jobs.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident" is a nifty bit of flim-flammery on the part of Jefferson. He was easily smart enough to know that "self-evident" was a load of crap, but it was necessary to provide some kind of legitimacy for a set of "rights" that had virtually never existed before for anyone. If they were so "self-evident", why hadn't any of the monarchies of Europe ever noticed them?
This piece of text is the equivalent of getting all your friends to go to a movie by telling each of them that "everyone else is going." If they all believe that, then it will be true. Jefferson knew this, and clearly understood that rights are created by common assent, and that the main goal of the DoI had to be to manufacture that assent.
An issue I didn't see raised here is also privacy. Because they pass the words of your current page through their site in real time, they can see the text that you can. This feature is called the Reporting Engine. I quote:

Do you have any evidence to back this up? It's fine to try to discredit someone else's evidence, but usually you do that by presenting evidence of your own.

...The first goal was to demonstrate just how aggressive the blackhat community can be. The numbers demonstrate the hostile threat we all face. Remember, the Honeynet used to collect this information had no production systems of value, nor was it advertised to lure attackers....
In AAP's case, they're for free speech, but against free beer. It's only ironic if you confuse the two meanings of 'free'. Or if you find it necessary to put everyone into only two groups: agree with us, or disagree with us. --
Well, the weight of the glass grows exponentially with size. Because the inside is a vaccuum, the glass has to hold quite a bit of pressure. As tubes get larger, the walls have to get thicker to maintain structural integrity. Combine that with increased surface area, and that's a lot of glass. --

Curl may not be any more proprietary than Java, but the site constantly bares its legal teeth at you. My gut reaction is to stay away.

Adjust the path to wherever your apache logs are.

This is the nature of worms: they advertise exactly what is vulnerable, and advertise exactly how they're vulnerable.
