I don't know if this is what TFA was getting at, but in a google cache page you may from time to time see the phrase "These terms only appear in links pointing to this page:...".
For example, try searching for "miserable failure" on Google. The first result is George Bush's biography on www.whitehouse.gov.
However, the term "miserable failure" doesn't actually show up (yet) in the biography. But, pages that POINT to the biography do include those terms.
As a result, pages can match your search query even if none of the words in your query actually appear on the page.
From the press release, "The research team used a standing ultrasonic wave to help form and then implode the cavitation bubbles of deuterated acetone vapor."
Deuterium to fuse, acetone vapor to help it form gas bubbles.
The only thing that would make sense in this context ("making sense" of course in a fskd up SCO way...) is that the suit will be a breach of contract suit vs a copyright infringement case.
What I mean by that is that SCO will claim that the defendant is breaching its UNIX license by NOT paying the Unix per-server fee for Linux servers. Said another way, if the defendant has agreed to pay SCO $X per UNIX server under its SCO Unix license, and has been calculating the license fees assuming that Linux servers didn't count, then SCO would claim that -- because Linux is UNIX (don't ya know) -- the licensee/defendant has been underpaying SCO.
SCO is likely to get more bang for its litigation buck by suing customers under this theory (however wack that is) then suing companies who have no contractual relationship to it.
One thing that I find interesting about this thread is that the underlying airforce pdf, spanning 176 pages, spends only five pages or so on space and space weapons.
The remainder of the airforce strategy piece analyzes the current state of that part of the military, current threats, likely threats, their view on technological and other military developments by foes of the U.S., and sets out a vision for dealing with all of that.
In that context, five pages discussing the U.S.'s space-based assets (like GPS satellites, spy satellites, etc.), the threats to them, possible means to protect them, and possible uses of space-based weapons to protect the U.S. is entirely reasonable.
Indeed, for that type of presentation (i.e., a forward-looking, comprehensive effort to define military strategy for the coming decades) it would be a shocking, GLARING error if the airforce did NOT address space.
I think you've got it wrong -- opponents of the FreeNet philosophy are not trying to SOLVE social problems by technical measures. Instead, proponents of FreeNet are, by THEIR technical measures, aiding and abetting real social problems. The anonymity provided by FreeNet undoubtedly attracts child pornographers and other criminals while providing little obvious benefit to the rest of us.
While I understand that Chinese dissidents may have legitimate need in their country for anonymous means of criticizing their government, and radicals and extremists in the U.S. may want a forum insulated from Ashcroft-led witch hunts, FreeNet users must at least admit that they are very very likely to be facilitating illegal activities. And they do so at their own risk.
At first I thought the same thing -- here goes a guy who's about to blast a major troll out of his ass -- but then I read the rest of the article, and his arguments did make me think.
You may not like his conclusions, but at least give yourself an opportunity to consider them before cutting off the analysis.
In fact, Microsoft gives you several options (at least re upgrading Windows XP Pro):
(1) no updates at all;
(2) will automatically download updates and notify you when they are ready to install. This option gives details on each update and gives you the option to skip all or any of the updates if you want;
(3) will automatically download and install updates.
Further, Windows Update only pushes out "critical" updates, like security patches. WM9 and.NET don't fall into the "critical" category and are thus not installed on any Windows machine without the user specifically selecting to install them.
Although I am a fan of Dictaphone, the EXSpeech product is hardly suitable for a PDA or for the general tasks that the original poster is looking for. From the site:
"EXSpeech(TM) offers a highly accurate continuous speech recognition solution that's fully integrated with Dictaphone's industry-standard Enterprise Express® voice and text management system. This state-of-the-art speech recognition technology, incorporated into a complete patient information workflow management system, can reduce transcription costs by more than 20% while speeding report turnaround."
Maybe Verizon does sell names -- who knows? But spammers should know that all bellatlantic.net addresses have a parallel verizon.net address, so the spammers spam both.

Could have sworn parent made this same comment a few moments ago...
That's a negative, Z1NG.

You are posutlating an internet before Al Gore. That is simply not possible absent some mind-bending time-travelling paradox!

Never say that you "hate" Google.
When Google becomes self-aware, I'd prefer not to be known as a Google-hater.

But then again, I am not an IP lawyer.

I've just noticed two of them (while reading this thread, as a matter of fact).
No, but you can run into Linus on it!
Yes, and soon we'll be at a point where the password will be changing so fast you can run a brute-force attack with a static keyword!
