The UN makes lots of "laws". Every member of the UN agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of being a member nation. When you violate UN laws such as the Declaration of Human Rights, it allows other countries to ask for sanctions against those nations. When member nations agree to implement the sanctions you have enforcement.
Thus, the UN has an executive (Kofi Anan), legislative assembly (general council), judiciary (Security Council), and enforcement arms (Security Council and general council).
If that isn't government I don't know what is. Yes, some countries break the laws and get away with it but that is no different from any other government.
Let me put it this way, if the UN has no power why after the WTO ruled against the US did the US suspend their steel tarrifs instead of facing billions of dollars in orange tarrifs?
The problem is these IDs are based on a non-biometric data source. (ie. birth certificate). As long as the root of the document chain is comprimisable the whole system is.
If I am the same age and gender as another person they can become me if I can get their birth certificate.
I just spit up my drink. The worst part is I'm applying to get a German passport. My father passed away recently, and considering the data that was in his birth certificate (family history for 300 years). I would say that things have been known to go wrong with collecting this much information. Especially considering what my birth certificates from that era were used for.
But I'd have to say that Germans would probably be the last people to abuse that data considering that a vast number of them know the consequences. I'd be far more worried about Ashcroft with that data than Schroder.
Anyways, this iris scanner thing is only good for as long as iris scanners are rare. Just like you can fake a photo on a passport so could you fake an iris scan.
More people die from having no medical care in the US than die from the tax rate at the poverty line.
Guess what poor people, if you don't like paying taxes spend 1 hour every 4 years to vote.
Guess what dumb americans if you didn't have a big dumb army to invade other countries you could save 50% of your tax bill.
I don't know how screwed up the US is right now, but I know that Revenue Canada is obligated to let you know if they do an audit and find in your favor.
Not only are they obligated but my father once got a call from them saying that he had paid too much tax.
Sure, I can see the next Ask/. article already.
I voted for an amendment ending taxes in my state.
We now have no roads, or running water. I'd like to build a water infrastructure and find some open-source paving equipment.
Linux support CSS on DVDs. CSS is an excellent example of why people might choose Linux DRM systems as these systems provide the consumer with their full rights.
FireFox uses about 20 megs of RAM, I've seen its virtual size at 120 megs but that isn't the amount of ram it is using. Its resident space is usually about 20 megs.
Umm... there are only so many ways to encrypt / decrypt.
The code for encryption / decryption cannot be encrypted. So, since no other executables have the need for encrypting / decrypting the executable itself any program employing this engine can safely be marked as a virus and removed.
Secondly, both Linux and OpenBSD now support W^X memory meaning this kind of situation can be avoided because there would be no way to change the executable once loaded.
Not opening email as root goes a long way to preventing viruses.
Legally, anyone can make up a name and use it, it simply becomes a legal alias, when you make up a name and use it for the purpose of fraud is when it becomes a crime.
Hence, the law is redundant because making up info for the purpose of fraud is already illegal, and creating legal aliases it perfectly legal and supported in case law.
Also, No Fixed Address is a perfectly valid legal address.
Try writing the law in a way that doesn't require everyone to disclose their primary telephone number and prevents the registration of the 7 digit telephone number for 411.
Next point is, people will simply register the domain in a country with out such arcane laws.
dbA are 20*log(X/sound) where X is the reference level 20 micropascals and sound is the measured pressure. the A signifies that a filter has been applied to account for the pyscoaucoustic model of a human.
You've always been able to do this in Windows, if you change the extension of the file it changes how windows treats it.
Since windows doesnt change the extension from what it thinks it is the problem is moot. Ie. if I convince windows that an executable is an HTML document and it saves it as an HTML document and subsequently opens it with an HTML viewer then there is no problem. If it saves it with.exe and then executes it later there could be a problem.
Windows doesn't use magic bytes to choose file type it uses file extension. Thus as long as Windows saves the file with the extension it thinks it is and continues to operate in such a fashion everything is fine. All that happens is when you double click the executable it opens it with a PDF viewer. BIG DEAL.
"password" protection in word is done exactly this way. This is trying to enforce a read-only permission which is quite difficult with out a crypto network.

I guess the moral of the story is to file your taxes on time.

Also, most dictatorships are capitalist nations.
It is only a root exploit if you browse as root. Who browses as root?
Oh, yes, thats right Windows users.
Ok carry on...
Someone should let apple know about binary diffs.

If they couldn't be detected how do we know about them?
The rocket is the sniper's bane. Any serious sniper will soon have half the opposing team on his ass lobbing dozens of rockets at him.
i dont think the average american reads /.
Mplayer stealing from other companies = good. Other companies stealing from mplayer = bad.
I believe however that Mac OS X comes with this out of the box. Maybe ViaVoice still does handsfree on the PC.
yeah, i'm on shaw average speed is about 3.7Mbps, so I feel the extra money is worth it.

What if the terrorists stole some of the transponders and set them up near an airport?
