Trespassing is defined by entering into the domicile in question by forceable means or without prior consent of the owner or occupant. Even if you leave all of your doors unlocked, if someone steps through that door and you weren't expecting them, you have the right to shoot. This was all made possible by what's also known as the "Make My Day" law, a nod to Dirty Harry. Many southern states with dense cities and high transient populations enacted this law awhile back.
Here in the Netherlands, when I ring a doorbell (or twice), and nobody responds, I try the door and enter if open, although I do ask loudly whether someone is there. Or, depending on the situation (if it is a farm/larger house with backyard), I walk around, and try to enter the backdoor.
It happens that people are not able to properly hear the doorbell, since they are upstairs/in the backyard. Guess I certainly must do stuff like this in the U.S., since apparantly it would even be legal to shoot me in this case. I can't believe it. Weirdos.
See in the constitution section 8.2 that the Project Leader cannot override the ftp-masters. I also didn't say the Project Leader is going to override them!
I said, the developer body can. And indeed, see section 4.1 point 3 of the constitution: Together, the developers may [by way of general resolution] Override any decision by the Project Leader or a Delegate.
No, this isn't true. The ftp-masters are Delegated by the Project Leader to perform checking packages against legal issues. They indeed have a say whether or not to let a package go in the archive.
However, as with every delegate and also the Project Leader himself, their decisions can be overridden by the developers (by means of a vote, where any five developers can call for).
In the end, the developer body has the ultimate say about everything.

So, as a spammer, you only have to publish an SPF for your own domain, and your mail is garanteed to be nonspam?
No. It's authenticating the source, not the content.
Geesh... you're repeating what I said in the very next paragraph after the one you quoted. I know it's hard to RTFA, but even not Reading a F***ing Comment you're replying to?
FYI, the quoted question was a rethorical one, rebutted in the rest of my comment.
The presence of an SPF record on a domain at present means that while you still can't be sure when you're handling spam, you can be sure when you have a piece of non-spam because the SPF record tells you so.
So, as a spammer, you only have to publish an SPF for your own domain, and your mail is garanteed to be nonspam?
No, you have it wrong: Mail coming from hosts not allowed by the SPF, is guaranteed to violate the policy of the sender domain. SPF is basically saying: ``Hey, to whom is interested, mail coming from one of oud adresses, will always be send by these mailservers. So if you receive them from other means... We didn't do it!''
But indeed, if the domain and its users are trustworthy, you may decide that spam isn't likely to come from them. While ISP's might be trustworthy themselves, their users as a whole are not.
the rest of the world does seem to have to change their mail server configuration to keep mail flowing to AOL.
Wrong again, it's about mail flowing FROM @aol.com adresses. Mail going TOWARDS aol has nothing to do with it. Even if AOL will be implementing SPL while recieving mail themselves, if you don't use SPL, you're not blocked, and also, you need to change your DNS, not your mail server, if you want to implement SPL for outgoing mail of your domain.
That's bullshit. Well, including non-alpha characters with the same size password will be stronger because it enlarges the keyspace. But simple math shows that a 20 character password of exclusively a-z lowercase is stronger than a 14 character password that may use any of the 94 characters on your keyboard. And you need a 18 character password in the 94-characters keyspace to be stronger than a 20 character a-zA-Z password.
The distributed mirror project is a fixed site where you can add and find mirrors of slashdotted sites. Now with handy links to the wayback engine and google cache for if there are no mirrors yet.
There's only one reason a lot came from college networks:
Students have big fat pipes to the internet, so can do a lot more harm than somebody with a mere ADSL line. At my university for example traffic raised from 200MBit/s to 0.9GBit/s when all student flats were connected with 100MBit _each_. And that's 'normal' traffic.
On saturday, suddenly traffic went up by exactly 300MBit/s for about half 'n hour, so only 3 people were affected here.
Since there is only one set (left and right) images on the flat screen, only one viewpoint can be chosen.
I know that at least at Phillips Research Eindhoven they are working on flatscreen displays, which do not have the disadvantages you mention. They can be viewed by multiple people simultanously without a problem, and without goggles.
The technique is actually quite simple: take a high-res flatscreen, and stick a prisma sheet over it, so that depending on the angle you look at the screen, you will see another pixel.
At the lab they did have a prototype (1600x1200 as I recall) with 9 distinct views on it (thus reducing the apparrent resolution to 533x400). Really cool to see 3D on a flat(!)screen, without goggles.
Those 9 views were actually all horizonally distinct, otherwise the effect wouldn't be really well visible. So it doesn't work when you keep your head rotated, or move your head up&down.
(no link, sorry, they are not public about it. I saw it almost a year ago now, guess they must have improved since then)

ftp-masters don't distribute Debian... They only maintain the techinical infrastructure. And also, they can be replaced if really needed.
But, why do you think the ftp-masters would ignore the outcome of a vote, i.e., the wish of the majority of Debian Developers?

You forgot to account company's time wasted on sysadmin reporting this on slashdot ;-)

Not exactly... They had roughly 2 billion euro's of debt...
