Perhaps at the state level that is illegal. However, I believe the U.S. Constitution is quite clear in preventing states from regulating interstate commerce, which is exactly what you are discussing.
That's a very interesting observation. Air Canada was indeed negligent here, but how many times have you written code to limit such a thing? When you're trying to get something working and bug-free, it's hard to think of every nefarious thing someone could do with your application. I think this is more an issue of a webmaster failing to look over logs in order to later take corrective action.
"The state has a right to establish such in law, the federal government does not."
Then, I guess the real question is whether the 4th Amendments reference to "papers" applies to ID, in which case, a state could make you carry ID, but still not take it without a warrant. Yes, I said a warrant. Although it is commonly believed that probable cause alone justifies a search, IT DOES NOT! The 4th Amendment is quite clear that probable cause is used as the evidence to obtain a warrant. So, IANAL, but I am very interested in the implications of the Bill of Rights.
Then maybe someone in government will actually take slashdot seriously.
You're the one who needs to grow a brain. You're deluded if you think the government actually gives a shit about Slashdot. SCO or Microsoft lawyers? Maybe. The U.S. government? No way.
Let's see $2000.00+ for a low end HF radio that doesnt require a EE degree to operate
With all due respect, Icom and Yaesu both have HF rigs out now in the neighborhood of $600-700. They are all very capable.
Also, you may want to search the web for stealth antennas. I worked about 25 states and Canada on CW with a triband dipole in my attic and never more than 100W of power.
The important thing to remember here is not who is or is not a good steward of open source or Java. The important thing to remember is that Sun owns Java. They can license it however they see fit.
Here's an analogy for all of you who think all major programming languages, etc. should be open source no matter what. Imagine I am a car enthusiast who sees a very elderly person driving a Nissan 350Z at approximately 40 mph down an interstate. Now, just because I would be able to make better use of that property does not give me the ability to dictate that old person turn the car over to me. Urging open source and advocating it is one thing--demanding it as a right from the developer/owner is another, entirely stupid thing.
You can't credit someone with ending a war unless you're willing to acknowledge that the war started during his presidency also. If ending a war can be credited to a President, perhaps FDR should also be blamed for starting it? That's ridiculous logic.
You were already modded offtopic, but you are such an idiot that I am going to reply. Hitler was allied with the Arabs. So what was Hitler right about?
Well, Mr. Law School, one thing you could afford to plagiarize is the dictionary. Your spelling is atrocious. Here you go.
In addition to your spelling lesson, I am going to spend some additional time on my soapbox. People like me who follow grammar and spelling conventions are considered to be plagiarizing because we write fluid, coherent sentences! This is not purely a theoretical matter for me as I have had teachers show suspicion as to the origin of my papers. Sure, they can go on-line and check to see if I am indeed cheating. However, a law school student like you should realize that copyright can apply to two parties who independently created the same thing. Provided correct usage of the English language is observed, there are only a limited number of ways to express an idea on a given topic. What would prevent two people from explaining the same event or idea in identical wording? I will not go so far as to say papers would be identical, but an entire sentence or two may well be. If all professors shared the ideology of one of my high school English teachers, who narrowly defined plagiarism as using three words in the exact same order from an uncited source, many students could be falsely accused and punished. This is something about which a law school student should be very concerned.
OS X may support more browsers than any other platform, but how many average Mac users are going to hunt them down? Also, considering how popular the Apple/Mac duo is in education, and how many school districts--at least here in the midwest--are having funding problems and would hire the cheapest, inexperienced system administrators they could find, most Mac users are going to be on whatever is installed by default. So, if the default browser is standards compliant and capable, they're good to go. Otherwise, they're pretty much screwed.
I don't know how you are set up, but in my experience IE will run in different processes if you launch it from a shortcut/launcher instead of using "New Window." I don't know if this is relevant to you or not, but it saved me a lot of headaches when I would crash browser windows.
And that is so important to the average company web page how? I thought the discussion was regarding professional web sites designed to convey a positive image for the client. Perhaps I inferred too much...
>At 90 lbs, it was definitely a "two-person" lift.
I once carried some big-ass Sun monitors down 3 flights of stairs without killing myself. Of course, I only carried one at a time, but I thought for sure my arms had grown longer from the downward pull.
Which makes me wonder why that is really necessary knowledge for a CNE. I can understand questions about file allocation tables, but the acronyms of graphics standards?

That's cool. I wasn't trying to be argumentative or anything. I was just wondering if anyone on Slashdot had that privilege...
>Tracked vehicles - make your own potholes - with a smooth ride...
Have you ever ridden in a tracked vehicle?
Gee, talk about the blind leading the blind. Did you even look at the site in question? www.army.mil is the U.S. Army's web site.
The real site returns " The site www.army.mil is running 4D_WebSTAR_S/5.3.0 (MacOS X) on MacOSX."
Why is it that geeks are such featherweight losers? Eat your Wheaties and hit the weight room...Sheesh
Perhaps they are just erring on the side of safety, but I don't think that is a legal requirement.
I don't know about the serial number, but you need 60% of the bill. Otherwise, we could all double our money with a pair of scissors and a ruler :)

Sorry, I do not take Constitutional advice from someone who can not spell.

I guess the fact that the U.S. doesn't require you to carry ID is enough reason why someone not driving is not required to produce it.

I highly recommend HEET windshield deicer.

Or, more vile, they are going to put IBM code into SCO's code base and use that as evidence that IBM and the Linux community stole from them!
