I found out the more often I use a password the more obsecure and meaningless it can be. So I make some of my passwords total gibberish with numbers and letters and whatnot. After about 2 weeks, Their easy to remember. I dont know what happens if you take a vacation...
Insight is knowing that [generally] anyone with $$$, or principles wouldn't be buying such a device anyway. Seeing as how it will require 1 or both of those qualities to fight the case, DTV has a safe bet not many will.
well I reread it and concluded their are issues but not java related ones. While section 6 would not make your distro LGPL, it would make you allow reverse engineering and modification of your distribution. Bizarre...
All the weight does is add some rolling friction. Uhh, yea. inertia only slows my start, once I am moving were done with inertia, or rather its working for me now. Air resistance is not that great but it is significant. Most loss is in the friction. Or didnt you notice smaller lighter vehicles almost always get better gas mileage regardless of their shape.
you could hook 10,000,000 volts up directly to your heart and be fine, as long as the current is low. conversely, you could hook up 120 volts going in one arm and out the other and die, if many amps are allowed to go through (as in a wall outlet).
Are you a 2nd year engineering studend? Sounds about right. If you hook 10,000,000 volts to 1 ohm and it does not produce 10,000,000 amps, then you are in an alternate universe.
Yea, this is what I thought till I read the section in question, section 6 [grrrrr]
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.
This pisses me off. OK, so it does not say you have to distribute your code. But it does say you must permit modification of the work and you must permit reverse engineering for debugging the modifications the other user decided to do.
WTF is that? I thought xGPL was about code, and has nothing to do with rights to reverse engineer and or modify your work!?
I find that rediculous. I think they are right in their problem with the LGPL. But its not a Java related problem specifically. And the only thing in question here is NOT that your end project must be LGPLed, but your end project must allow reverse engineering and modification.
Their is no information to support this claim, so the article and all the linked blogs are worthless.

I use LGPL on some of my java code. Why ClassForName is supposed to be special I have no idea. I am lost here. a jar file is no different in usage from a DLL, so their really needs to be some support of these ideas...
I agree totally. To be continued is the cheapest most unprofessional ending ever. Its crap.
A good story has resolution. A soap does not. That ended like a soap and resolved NONE of the issues it brought up. It did not advance the story. I was NOT pleased. In fact I was very disappointed. They put too much money into frills and not enough into the fundamentals.
IIRC, this would now be illegal in Michigan. I believe either anti-spam law or DMCAism garbage prohibited hiding ones identity.
Perhaps they could use the IP as some other data. So they could say its not spoofed, but its not required for the program to work so they use it for something else, like statistics.
I am tired of suffering this jibbering again and again. "Its too late for mozilla." "Mozilla has its chance." "Mozilla is dead."
Garbage. Its the best browser out as far as I can see right now. The mail and news could use a little spit polish, but the browser itself is rock solid. It could use easier support of flash and java, etc. But I love it. and its not dead. Tabbed browsing should be patented NOW because that spanks IE.
Seems to me no matter what you call it, its still floating. Why shouldn't I be interested in this technology? Is it somehow impracticle? Why cant planes use it?
I'd love to change my Truck from 2500Lbs to ~1000Lbs. That would save me a TON of gas;)
10 volts is enough to kill you if applied directly to your heart. its all about resistance. your hands and feet provide a longer path and thus more resistance. more resistance means more volts are needed to get the same current. if you put on rubber gloves, then a LOT more volts will be needed since thats MUCH higher resistance. But of course lightning laughs at your puny rubbers.
NOTE: The main problem is they don't sic the lawyers, the lawyers sic themselves.
The lawyers see this and get all huffy, and complain to management with a bunch of mumbojumbo and entice them into letting them sue. Its how they get paid. If they are not suing anyone their personal value decreases.
If programmers took the same attitude, they would be complaining about the HOLE just as the lawyers complain about the information.

Me too. especially email. I have an address in my address book with the name of
"This mail was send by virus"
something like that, and I expect the email to bounce back at which point I know I have been infected.
also people have been hiding email addresses in web pages to test spammers for a while now.

Interesting. It would block the RIAA and those the RIAA would term as the 'worst offenders' as well.
AFAIK, since I do not actually know how kazaa works and do not use it...
I believe that is what bittorrent does. It splits each file into pieces and gets each small piece from a different source.
I still do not support stealing. By the RIAA or by the public.

I think we have another example of the reviewers being on the payola. j/k
Thank you. You save me a post. or did you :D

I think it would have been simpler to patent 'Secure' fast user switching. I doubt if Apple would recieve any argument from Microsoft. :)
The first step is to sell CDs directly without Amazon.
The second step will be when Amazon's name mysteriously disappears from AOLs DNS servers.
Third? The lengthy court battle...
I think he has it all backwards. If you get married you can nolonger be considered a genious.
I can't wait for the kinder, gentler vending machine.
That should be the respectable , and honest vending machine!
Hey, its the best I could do :p
Advertising. Lawyers. Executive Bonuses.
How do you know the efficiency of private industry funds; considering their books are closed and all claims come from their marketing departments!?
Why should government be less efficient that private sector? We are all the same Americans public or private.
