1 - Pansy ass. If it wasn't for those 'evil' weapons you wouldn't have the freedom to do your expirements. 2 - You released the 'specs', so you no longer get to choose how its used. So get over yourself.
Ya, mod me down, but that sort of 'clueless holier then now' attitude really pisses me off.

Having an open wep is no different thenleaving your livingroom window curtains open but not expecting the police to come breaking down your door to search your closet in your bedroom.
Issue resolved? It wasn't your butt that was falsely accused and had to sit in jail overnight for it.
For many people the accusation could really effect your public characater. True, for the person in question it would be pretty hard to damage it any, but for most of us it would, especially since it is now on your record forever and in the papers..
You go thru that rather terrible experience then come back and dismiss it as 'resolved' a couple of days later.
"We see here that 10 years ago you searched and perhaps retrieved an article about xyz. Yes, do we realize it was legal information at that time, but it is not currently and you might have retained that knowledge. Please come with us."
"We see that 10 years ago you did a search on such and such item. Yes, we realize you may never intended to have acted on this information at the time, but the laws have chagned and we can now arrest you under the new 'homeland security intervention intent act'. Please come with us"

These days, even if you download pictures of cars or povray renders off usenet, you are liable to get kiddy porn.

"oops, harddrive crash... nothing to see here judge"
Will also sue all of us users, who know the truth?
This should fall under 'its funny'.

I really doubt it was something intentionally directed towards him to cause grief.
More like his domain just managed to get in the hopper for a while.
I see 4x that on a daily basis to my home domain. and 10x that at the office domain.
Invented what?!?
I hope you were just being sarcastic...
Nah.. worst case microsoft buys them out and passes the bill along to the consumer.
.NET as its far too ingrained in Microsoft now. ( incrementally, sure, but not fundamentally )
I doubt anything will *fundamentally* change with
Is overkill for a phone / pda anyway. So they dont have much room to speak on the design end of matters.
Sure, in the future that will be an issue.. but its not today. FPGAs cant compete with mass produced chips for price or speed, yet.
Food blueprint licensing? We do that now with cookbook recipes.
Lack of custom apps.. You could just about say that about the early blackberries too, and look how far they have infiltrated the corporate world.
Very few people i have ever met have used anything but what was shipped on theirs.
Everyone else seems too these days..
I agree with you totally about the public internet, but in a business environment with local servers, 'hosted apps' makes a lot of sense.
And the rest of the world isnt?
No, of course not. But entities such as the HSA also feel this way and they carry a bit more weight with congress.
Give it time, and this will happen. Expect home users to be fined if they dont secure their wifi as well. For our protection of course.
So, you pay per page, much as you do now when you lease a copier.
And since the summary was wrong about HP stopping the sale of printers, this is really a non event.
Friend just got one with vista even after asking for XP and being told no, any recourse?
Why should they support the competition when they hold such a stranglehold on the market at this point?
With full TPM enabled in hardware ( which is coming soon to a nightmare near you ) you wont be able to use a copy of the HD.

True, but its such a small market now that it since to see 'regular folk' coming back.
