OK, I misunderstood- you're talking about using Firefox as a dropin for the MSHTML component, not making a wrapper that'll make Firefox run ActiveX controls. While this is an improvement, it wouldn't allow Firefox to completely replace IE, because of the sites (for example, one RBOC telephone book) that require you to accept and run an ActiveX control for the site to even work. But of course, implementing this would open all the holes.
You can pretty safely assume that if someone has access to a database and something to gain, and no chance of being caught (i.e. no auditing of queries), they will use the information.
Absolutely! The cozy relationship the IRS has with tax preparation software and service vendors is an outrage that should not be allowed to be repeated with the National Weather Service.
Oops--posted this reply to myself, rather than to you:
Although I would have preferred to see a cite showing an Enron executive was in danger of being shanked in Oz, you at least answered the question instead of posting a "you people" flame like the other guy did. Enjoy your subscription!

The original poster said "REAL" prison time. A few years in a federal country club for the rich is not that, so you didn't really give what was asked for, proving the point that the rich don't receive sufficient punishment to deter the large scale theft in which they participate. As far as wishing rape on someone, I wouldn't either, but it's hardly fair that those who steal the pensions of the elderly are insulated from it while someone who posesses a few grams of marijuana or gets caught with a camcorder in a theatre is.
I'll bet a Slashdot gift subscription that none of these people are in anything more harsh than what is commonly described as a "Club Fed" for "non-violent" (i.e. rich) offenders. If one of them's doing time in a prison where being forced to make sweet lovin' to a cellmate named Hammer is a possibility, post proof in the form of a link to the mainstream press, and I'll give you a Slashdot gift subscription. Seriously.
The difference is that in an "enterprise environment," the enterprise is paying the users, not the other way around. Students by virtue of the fees they pay have a property right in network access, and making that access subject to control of the client by the administration is morally and legally questionable.
Pay per play is less appealing to the houses running the games, because there's not the potential for residual income from people who sign up, lose interest, and forget to cancel for a few months. That, and gamers would feel the sting of having to pay each time they "topped-up."
I don't know that that would be such a good idea. A radiating microwave transceiver with enough power to cross an ocean would be an easy target for a direction finding van, or missile if a repressive government were so inclined.
OK, I'll bite. Post the text of this contract on U.S.-sold CDs, along with your legal justification of how one comes to be bound by this alleged contract by purchasing an object at retail.
None, and I sincerely hope that either he isn't reelected or that the remaining sane justices hold out until the end of his second term so that he doesn't get a change to stack the court with any more republican-appointed enemies of freedom like Scalia and Thomas.
Intel's also a member of the "Trusted" Computing Platform Alliance (or TCPA). So I wouldn't rush out and buy a new P4EE to reward them for their "principled stand" here.
Freedom in Iraq is indeed nice. It'd be nicer if freedom weren't simultaneously under assault here. Hell, the Supreme Court just effectively repealed the fourth amendment, for crying out loud!
Are you sufficiently familiar with the identification and badges carried in all the different jurisdictions of law enforcement in which you might find yourself to indeed know if the identification presented to you were real?
And not really all that anonymous. Do you really think the feds will buy "but I wasn't requesting that kiddie porn your sting node grabbed from my IP--I was just passing it along for someone else's request. Honest!"

And would make Firefox subject to the same security holes for which Microsoft is being consistently and correctly castigated.

Yeah. I know what you mean--people keep saying I'm addicted, too. But I can quit any time.

But yet there are plenty of resources to protect intellectual "property." Go figure.

At least if nothing's happening while you're gone, you can scope the scantily clad chicks with the hidden "security" cameras :).

Actually, I hadn't heard that sotry--thanks for that!

It's a shame, because I do know some good cops, but you're mostly right.
The beginning of the end for the DMCA-wielding jackbooted scum that persecuted bnetd.
Fourth amendment defeated 5-4.
And the recipient is the feds, running a sting. They request contraband material, log the IPs who respond, and conduct raids. Quite simple.
And not really all that anonymous. Do you really think the feds will buy "but I wasn't requesting that kiddie porn your sting node grabbed from my IP--I was just passing it along for someone else's request. Honest!"
