Surely this will just hurt the industries that are arguing for these restrictions.. Research students studying encryption must make up a large part of the commercial encryption developer population, adding value to these companies by having figured out the in-efficiencies in previous encryption methods.
I am about to release some code for PalmOS, whilst I want to make it free for all to change and used I also want to ensure credit for myself and any following authors is maintained. However, having said this I wont be using the GPL mainly because of it's controlling and restrictive nature, so I feel these new licenses at the very least give us developers some other pre-written options.
I do share your feelings but a lot of developers are 'forced' into using these products by the companies they work for, like me;(
Before you say it.... they in turn use Windows and IIS because of the customers requirements.
Whilst its not a problem whilst I'm in the office (local network), I do work from home most of the time and remembering to turn IIS off when dialed up to freeserve is just annoying, and having an additional Linux machine is just not convenient (as much as I'd like to), so a firewall it is then;)
I was wondering quite how to reply to this, and cavemanf16 pretty much hits the spot.
RMS is an idealist who only sees everything from one stubborn point of view, I too respect him for his involvement in the GNU project but this does not make him an authority on life the world and everything.
Personally I couldn't care less what RMS thinks about face recognition, freedom of movement or principles of cat litter, at this time all I care about is that the USA finds the vengence it needs to gain satisfaction for the huge losses suffered last week.
Personally if better survalence leads to a reduction in terrorist activities and prevents this sort of tragedy happening again then I don't mind at all.
What else are they gonna do, they're only an inch high, yellow and have holes in their legs! Mind you they do have some cool space craft and a jazzy train set;)
I've been watching the events of this tragedy on the news and slashdot all afternoon and I can say that I have never felt such sorrow as I feel for the people involved and affected by this pointless act, my heart goes out to you all!
Whether or not the USA decides to retaliate in all out culling of terrorism one thing is true, things will now change, the days of tolerance will now end, and I for one am behind the civilised world acting with extreme force against people who seek to undermine democracy.
Ahhh... fair enough. Although it is somewhat OS dependant, if there are bloody great holes in a system then even the best SysAdmin will be handicapped in what they can achieve security wise.
I agree, I also bet that NASA spent a shedload more on it's experiment and the damn thing fell apart, I wonder whether the NASA designers used KPH instead of MPH for its maximum speed;)
He said that damage attributable to static electricity causes losses to the global electronics industry in excess of $45 billion per year. The estimate, based on a sampling of electronics companies, includes the cost of damaged goods and their replacement, and field service for equipment repair.
I wonder if the Damage by static is the default option in the returns database of these manufacturers;)
Slashdot Mirror
I quite Like the idea of having just a nice simple:
/.
;)
on my headstone
Maybe he forgot an i ;)
Nice though these systems look, they just seem to have the limitations of a laptop without any of the advantages?
A larger closet maybe?

I can almost feel someone contemplating a sever side module for apache using this as an embedded web page script.
It's a shame it isn't an optical mouse, I doubt I'm the only one who hates the 'jumping' effect of ball mice when they get a little dust in them.
I would have thought smooth running would have been essential for game players

And I guess if you saw a Windows 98 box that actually shutdown after more than 5 minutes of use you'd assume they all do?
;)
Personally I've never seen a BSD box, so I guess it's all made up by slashdot to get more hits

Sun glasses, and a slightly thick sidekick too perhaps?
