Of course You need road signs, maps, short cuts, scenic routes and many other things. "Drivers training" should be a requirement.
Look at all the wiretap news just coming out. They have hooks in the phone networks. They have hooks in EVERYTHING. And no, I don't KNOW that it's bullshit. I KNOW that it's feasible.
Yep, I've been saying this for years. Microsoft intentionally creates back doors and when users find them they claim it's a bug and close it. DHS, CIA, FBI and NSA have a list of "unknowns" that they use for their handy work. Use GNU/Linux.
Of course Satan supports the bible. It's a mutual relationship. Neither would exist without the other. Then again, the bible could exist without Satan but the Bible wanted a "Bad guy" charactor for scare-mongering purpose.
Why must everyone push "cheap PCs" via linux. Any vendor that offers a cheap linux PC should also offer an expensive linux PC. Linux isn't about cheap, It's about power and freedom.
Of course, Windows is also about power, but the power is not yours.
>>>Users can protest all they want, big business and the Establishment will NOT budge.
Perhaps you missed this part of the story: "...News Corp relented and restored the links."
And this: The protests gathered pace, and when 600 MySpace customers complained and a campaign began to boycott the site and relocate to rival sites such as Friendster, Linkedin, revver.com and Facebook.com
You don't have to stick around and take it. You can protest, move to "revver" or move to "Austria" deppending on what your issue is.
>>>>abandon development until the necessary hardware is already in the field.
Vista isn't for OS upgraders. It will be Your ONLY choice on DELL, HP and all the other 'big' PC manufacturers. As PCs fail, adoption WILL happen. Those with the ability can delay for a while. At some point it will be Vista, Linux or Mac assuming linux does not get locked out at the hardware level.
>>>they do as USA... make it illegal to circumvent copyright protection measurments.
They will have no choice. The USA will impose trade restictions in order to force all countries to adopt our policies. This goes for all the poor countries too. If another country wants to exit 3rd world status, they will do it the George W. Bush way or else become part of the "axis of evil".
A required feature of the EULA should be a viewer that makes you actually read the EULA by requiring you to press "PAGE DOWN" every 20 seconds (so you have time to read each page) for each page in the agreement. If software manufactures were forced to provide this to insure that EULA were read, EULA's would be short.
>>>Demanded access to Internet E-mail and got it; eventually bundled in as opposed to for extra charge.
Just like sales tax on internet shopping, this free for all that we currently enjoy is strickly to aid/fund the growth of the internet. Now that the internet has nearly achieved full coverage it will get turned against you. Enjoy.
The current laws don't seem to be stoping the traders. New laws from a slightly different angle will not help.
The analog hole will always exist as long as 'we' amature musicians can buy microphones and 'us' engineers can buy or design data aquisition hardware (MP3's are just data points). Can't wait to make my PIC based Analog to digital converter/recorder.
People who have more freedom than US citizens will not be affected.
No, I did not RTFA. Maybe I'll go back and do it now.
The U.S. Army has put into print enough information that terrorists don't need any other sources. And when I say "For Dummies" I really mean it, those field manuals are written for the lowest common denominator.

Sure, click on something that causes a computer to do the multiple things computers are supposed to do, as a script when needed, is very revolutionary.

Sure, everyone enjoys a good bitching contest but this is not helping.
Formal request:
Someone needs to count the vulnerabilities in:
1) XP
2) Minimal SUSE linux install
3) XP with specific of Apps, servers, etc.
4) SUSE linux with specific Apps, servers, etc.
Give us these numbers and then we have something to talk about.
