  1. Re:EULA on States Demand Windows Source Code · · Score: 1

    If the EULAs weren't tight AS HELL we would
    certainly have had some more code snippets flying
    around, posted anonymously anywhere.

    "Moral of the story: If you live in the UK, don't bother
    encrypting either. They'll just get their grubby hands on it
    if they want to."

    Or generate a keypair, send an encrypted
    email to your best enemy, wipe the keypair and call
    the police that your best enemy is a terrorist.
    Ooooops.

    In fact, this could be a way to jail mutually everyone.

    Remark: Don't jail me, I was joking!

  3. Re:Liberalism? on Australia Spying On Its Own · · Score: 1

    Perhaps wackybrit refers to the tendency of almost all european
    former "liberal" parties to go extremely conservative in
    community matters, whereas economic concerns are treated libertarian.

    See http://reason.com/0107/fe.ml.global.html
    for an explanation of the term "Neoliberalism"
    by Mario Vargas Llosa, (read Llosa's bio at
    http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/vargas.htm )

    Read the first paragraph at
    http://www.doew.at/english/right/englre.html for information about
    austria's co-governing liberal party FPÖ.

    It may suck like a black hole, but the wolf has changed clothes
    and "libertarian" as a word is corrupted in Europe.

    "The other big issue is the DRM software Microsoft, or its partners/subsidiaries, will install. Even with prompting, if you don't upgrade, then you have no access to a content provider's new media." Or to some old media, isn't it? Getting codecs for my 5year old files...
