Librarians and free media have always been the standard-bearer for issues of personal liberty. A while back, a group of publishers sued libraries for distributing books.

What modern encrypted VoIP options are there? I know pgpfone, but that's old, and I know PGP for email. Is there a OSS group working on this?
"...[T]he FCC is also exploring its Internet regulatory options, including placing tariffs on online newspapers and requiring e-tailers to process 911 calls."
Also, how the hell do those ideas make any sense? Tarriffs on online newspapers? To do what? e-tailers to process 911 calls? I don't even know what they mean by that.
When it was made, that wouldn't have been a problem. It was put in to repeat a message sent in the event of soviet nuclear attack. Each node would relay to all the other nodes. Of course, modem technology was rather scarce at the time, so security wasn't the top concern. This thing was never designed for security.
This is one of the few times where I can see hacking as terrorism. If you hack this, you are, in my eyes and in those of the law, a terrorist. Leave this one be.
How is it done in Europe, Africa, Asia, S. America, and in Austrailia? How is it working out for them? I hate to jump to privatization without a prescident.
Given that it embeds itself in the program without changing it, how would you recover the data while being sure to prevent false positives?

You've Got PC

Things Obviously Wrong:
1. 256 MB. Chalk up an extra $50 to maintain sanity and upgrade to 512. AOL is a notorious memory hog. 2. CDROM-What, no CD-R? No DVD? They're dirt cheap! Yet another thing for the owners of this pc to buy. Chalk up $75 for both. 3. The printer. Ugh. I bought a Compaq a few years ago and it came with a 'free' lexmark color printer. The damn thing drinks ink. Then it throws it away. Then it gives it to special interests. Chalk up $100 for ink cartriges. 4. Honestly, who doesn't use an optical mouse these days? That's more $$ right there when the wheel breaks down or clogs because AOLers don't know how to fix it. All in all, this is a lousy deal for which one could get a far better PC with far better internet for likely less money.
Most of Japan, as I understand it, actually cares whether its companies are following its laws, especially foreign companies. This could actually hurt, instead of drive up (publicity), sales of Microsoft products in japan.
The UK is more urban than the US. S. Korea is more urban than the US. These gagets, especially cell phones, facilitate an urban lifestyle by allowing quick communication between people away from a phone. Cell phones just don't make as much sense in rural areas because even if you could see somone, he or she might be 50 miles away. Quick action in social networks is more essential in a densly populated populated areas, thus allowing the growth of cell phones. Like any other gadget, e.g. the computer (internet), phone (fax), and electricity (telegraph), it's natural for changes in the communication protocal to grow off it. I predict that within 10 years the videophone will be in majority use in Seoul and Hong Kong.
The electric charactaristics of a machine change when it's broken. I don't really understand how putting sensors everywhere will improve that situation rather than just managing eletronic load. For that matter, doesn't wireless need much energy?
If it's in the terms of employment, he doesn't have a prayer. Think of employment as a contract. If there's a no compete clause, that's it, he violates the contract and is liable.
<studmuffn> ive been to one star trek convention, and i was 14 <studmuffn> it was cool. patrick stewart was there <studmuffn> they told us not to ask why they cant fix baldness in the 24th century
This could have some nifty scientific uses even if you can't decrypt the data. Just think of the sociological experiments. Knowing exactly who's on what road, when? Who shops where? The possiblities are mind-blowing. And the sample would be great because it's taken from the public.
I got it, I think! It's a tubular lock, but a damn big one with weak springs. Use the scissors as a torque wrench to apply constant turning pressure. Use the pen to push in the individual pins. Very weak lock.
I dunno how you'd use a bic pen as a pick. I'm thinking this is a mechanical defect. Sure, the scissors could be used for torque, but there are better things for that, like a bent screwdriver. I think this is at a different point on the lock. Perhaps, and I'm speculating here, where the lock hits the cable?

Get well soon!

Actually, you can leave your country, at least you're suppoed to be able to. Check out the UNUDHR, articles 13 and 15.

Hard Drives make Noise. CD-Roms make noise. Floppies make noise. A noiseless computer is impossible because anything with a motor will make noise.
No. It was not activated. Check the 9/11 commission report. It isn't just for a nuclear attack by the soviets anymove. Check it out here.

If I hear one move comment about a certain medievil hero (hint: beo...) in a certain cliche, I may go insane.

Even if they don't have the money to fight this, perhaps someone does. They should ask someone to do something about it.
It's an ad. They run one daily. I mean, really, I don't care how cool your Super-Uber Jesus Power Supply is, it's not news.
I've been using SuSE for a while, but am thinking of switching. What would you all say is the best linux for the desktop as of now?

Umm... that quote began one of the most racist and genocidal portions of US history... You sure you want to quote that?
