As someone else said, the restrictions have to do with things that could be considered 'weapons'. Filtering software isn't really seen as a military threat. The latest sanctions list only financial products as being restricted on export.
Sorry to bring logic into this, but I am really curious if they understand that their "HTML Source" has to be transferred to the user machine in order to display their page?
To the extent that we do not convert to this better system, we are to blame, not spammers. Good point (and apparently overlooked by the mods?). I think spam is basically about cost per impression. Since the cost is low and the number of impressions are high, it is cost effective to send as much spam as possible regardless of the size of your target market. If it cost the sender to send mail, proportionate to the resources used, then spam would no longer be cost effective, and, with some sort of identification (tied to the payment) users could opt to take the money and not read the mail. Of course things like mailing lists would now need to have some sort of support.. but so do websites and such.
That is the bane of my web-app existence. It's to the point where I try to be careful who I ask to test what at what time, because if it is scary enough, they won't come back.
See discussion here.. no solid answers, but some research, and a theory that the illegal part would be calling them PZEV in states that don't have the same emissions laws.
he and a team of international researchers developed a computer model that resembles the brain processes a baby uses when learning about speech.
Right, wouldn't it have been a better test if they developed a model that did not resemble the brain processes a baby uses when learning about speech, and then expose it to speech?
Cats are exposed to speech also, but there's no evidence that they learn vowel sounds.
I've used my Garmin GPSes (several models over the years) in various places around the world. I know some GPS boards I have used will give spurious results on a cold or warm start, but once they have stabillized, I haven't seen it "100 miles off". Sure, better reception would help, but I don't think it is quite so broken.
It has Component out. It also has HDMI out, which you can convert to DVI and run an LCD panel from. It runs fine on a non-HD screen that takes Component [Y'PbPr].

AppleTV is an awesome box that is built upon a ton of open source items, from the kernel upwards. Just check out the legalese page on it if you don't believe it. I think its popularity is just going to grow. The AppleTV doesn't have video in, but is definitely a superior box otherwise. I don't see any reason why it won't handle any 'iptv' thing that comes along in the future - oh, at HD quality also.
How much was spent? US$8.6 billion by the US Federal Gov't and a lot more elsewhere. An 'industry' that big is hardly a flop. I think the problem is that people want drama, they want something sensational. Potentially Bad Problem Gets Fixed gets old quickly.
Skype has to deal with network traffic and possibly different buffers for different users, I'd think. So it may be a little different for that reason.. still, an arbitrary limit seems bad. why not just pop up a box, 'hey, I'm starting to have degraded quality, try fewer people in conference'?

It is humorous. Commence laughter.

But /usr/bin/telnet is my default web browser and I can't turn off the HTML source, what do I do?

Yes, you can use it as a router for your 57.6k modem bank.. it's perfect!

"excluding Quebec due to restrictive contest laws." Why? A quick search turned up this, this and this. Interesting.

There's PithHelmet.

Obviously, we need two slashdot articles linking to http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Slashdot_Digg_com_At tempts_To_Supress_HD_DVD_Revolt
Oh yea, and the Neuros website uses 'open' far too many times.

Hmm, an open web server..

Thanks, but no thanks, Neuros.

I recommend Underground (1941) - it looks at a lot of different aspects of State control.
How about ... just plain casting votes on paper? And counting them by hand? it's not that hard..
Really. A "modest proposal" is a *satirical* proposal.
No, You Can't Have a Pony.. well, maybe on April 1st.

Anyone notice how the company logo looks a lot like those rearranging paper puzzles? Hmm.
Can I buy stock in your Open Source Email Company?
Can you point me to these laws? Do they apply to any other kinds of taxes? (That sounds very suspicious on the EU's part!)
