Okay, tell you what, I'll use my Gmail account to send my entire pr0n directory to you with the title "Free Pr0n!!!! Free Cia1i$".
Your entire pr0n directory fits in a gig? I'm ashamed to be on Slashdot:).

It doesn't really matter what the courts decide--as long as there's one free country left connected to the Internet, there's no stopping any of these sorts of programs.
The contract denies the user his or her fair use rights to decrypt the AAC file that he or she paid for his or her own personal use. Thus, it is unconscionable in that it denies fair use rights.
Are you saying that Apple has the right to charge a subscriber's credit card if the "agreement" is breached? I think they'd be swimming in chargebacks faster than Intel's clock speeds wallop the G5 if they ever tried it.

But waiver of fair use rights is arguably an unconscionable and therefore unenforceable contract provision. If indeed clicking an "I agree" button on a Diktat contract forms a valid contract. (I know it doesn't morally, whether it does legally has yet to be demonstrated except in a very narrow context.)
Precisely. But what value is it, really, when there's probably at least one table in the insurer's database that has both the new identifier and the SSN. And don't forget that the MIB (Medical Information Bureau, the blacklist insurance companies used to avoid writing policies for unhealthy people) will likely remain indexed by SSN.
But if you're going to trust mail servers based on their signing keys, and there's no central trust provider (e.g. a root CA), then you have to decide to trust each mail server yourself--and there are many, many mail servers. I suppose SPEWS or another current RBL provider could trust server keys, then you could transitively trust them, but the RBL provider will also want to be paid for that service.
If it's something Cisco did, it might have started as Open Source, but doesn't generally stay that way.

These morons don't seem to realize that karma can be manufactured at will. But what would you expect from someone who pays double for translucent buttons on his UI:).
The Big 3 purchased the Patents and shelved the Technologies.
If the patents were bought in 1989, that means they had to have been filed on or before that date, so should be expiring in 2006. Given a couple of years for development, does that mean we might be seeing polymer ceramic engines for the 2008 or 2009 model years?
I wrote Amex as a customer. It'll be interesting to see what (if any) response I receive. Give 'em hell, and thanks for fighting the good fight to help protect all our rights.
They say it, but that doesn't make it true. An agent of the company posted the software under the GPL. AOL/Nullsoft's dispute is with Justin Frankel if they contend the release was unauthorized. But released it was, and it is under the GPL.
Personally, I think the government is barking up the wrong tree with airplanes. What they should really be more worried about is the nation's subway systems.
Don't worry--I'm sure Ashcroft and company are hard at work on a national database to be checked against a swipe of your National ID (a.k.a. "standardized driver's license or state ID") when you board any public transporation. At that point, known terrorist (or deadbeat dads, or those with unpaid parking tickets, or people with questionable political affiliations) can be arrested and searched.
In about ten years, we'll have an internal passport system for air, land, and sea transport that would have made Soviet Russia proud.

Agreed. I find it easier to add and use 10's complement, myself.

Zero. If gmail starts charging, I've got plenty of space on my own box.

I'm sure they'd like that, but if the contract is unconscionable, the users are under no obligation to do so.

If he plans on financing it, the SSN would be used to obtain a credit report. If he's paying cash, it's enough money to be a "reportable" transaction.
They would help, but they're busy serving no-knock warrants on elementary schools for copyright infringement.

Thanks--I hadn't realized there was really a distinction other than for marketing purposes.
I believe that would be OS/390^W z/OS this week.

I suppose then you'd start seeing ads for countersurveillance equipment, dehydrated food, water purification tablets, and tinfoil hats.
