That's it. And that's why our legal system doesn't work AGAINST WHO HAS THE MONEY.
With enough money one can litigate-'till-forever. They have to include Java now, but this whole thing has damaged Java seriously in a critical period. Not that java isn't succesful enough, anyway.
The damage to Sendo is already done and you can bet whatever the court does, it wouldn't be enough to dissuade them in the future. They can't lose.
Imagine how many pages would a Windows security book would take.
RAID 1 reading: get a bunch of reviewers and make them read different chapters from different copies

If you need closed hardware to get secure and fair systems you're not doing it right
Sure, but M$ IS not doing it right. Happens that almost nobody is doing it right: look at cheat in Q3 online.
Besides, it's a security measure EASY TO UNDERSTAND for everybody. This have a huge market advantage since 99% of the users is clueless about criptography (100% is clueless of HOW it's being implemented in a closed commercial solution).
Do you want a system that only allows you to shut by an OS command? or do you prefer to have access to the PLUG that you know will power off the PC?
Not that I excuse M$ for such practices, but there are reasons for people justifying it.
This can be the great new marketing engine for 21th century. You saw the McDonalds affair at SIMS online.
Cheaters can delay the success of this scheme, but I think it will find it's way sooner or later. Everquest platinum may be virtual, but there are auctions at e-bay that move real dollars.
This is maybe a bit offtopic, but this reminds me of something I read here at slashdot: some people justify the bans micro$oft put on modded-Xbox users because modding your Xbox can allow you cheating on-line. Maybe an interesting topic: completely closed devices to make it impossible to cheat online - maybe next big justification for closed software-hardware (and bundling).

I've been there and in Spain, France and Germany too. They conquered the fear of new tech, that's true, kudos for that; but on the other hand the fact that telephone is really expensive there helps too.
It's not that. Penetration measures against population. That is, 80% of the Italians (some 80 million, not so small) own a cell phone. Italy, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Spain, Netherlands,... have more users than the USA per inhabitant.
With such differences, it's not a matter of infrastructure. You can take only those regions with coverage and the difference would still be there. The problem is in the offer.
Now if they only produced better screens we could get some work done. The only working thing you can consider "computing" and "cellular" is the Treo.
That WAP is shit. I can tell you as I have some experience (Nokia, Siemens, Sony, Ericsson, Alcatel, everyone plays his own game, with large differences in the ways things are shown). We have to go directly for web or for Java. I've tested some Nokias and Alcatels. For instance, Alcatel 525 WAP browser, in forms, it doesn't show you the next input till you've filled it!!
You obviously don't know a thing about Java. My recommendation is not to post when you have nothing to say. We have enough crap here at Slashdot forums.
The bottom line of all this is that what people need is product information rather than mesmerizing "smiley faces"-"strange music" propaganda. This would lead to an ultracompetitive market corporates don't want because their profit margin would get lower and lower.
When I get my bandwidth capped not only my time and my nerve is at stake with every downloaded add. My money is too. That would definitely put a price to ad-free contents.
BTW, it's just me who finds that acronym crap annoying? CPC for me means "Amstrad CPC" and CPM is CP/M.
OK, but would you charge the same to people whose desired content isn't in local mirrors?
You can never know what each user wants. In the end, that would be very limiting. I prefer paying from the first byte as long as I pay a reasonable rate.
Expect false advertising like "unlimited downloads" (from local mirrors) and bullshit like that.

Not necessarily. In a brute force attack, you can store your progress and continue with different computers.
For instance, since you are testing ALL the keys from 0 to 2^163, you can go in straight order starting from 0. If you reach, for example, the key 2^90 in 1 year and the key wasn't there, you can then use another computer to continue from there.
Add to that the fact you could be using clusters (you should be, so you don't get fucked by a machine failure) that allow adding elements during operation. That would work for not only brute-force, but ANY attack.
Well, not everybody seems to have EXACTLY the same concept of brute force, partly because it doesn't always apply in the same way to problems.

That's the only way for legacy mail accounts.
Seeing the past resolutions, I've already lost any faith and belief in law in this country. Lobbyism is more powerful than law. Linux save us all.
do they run Linux?

But you may know that Java 2 starts at 1.2 and has nothing to do with version numbers.
Did they teach you not to sum apples & oranges at elementary school?
Now that we have that nice IE skin for Mozilla. Do you know of any Bill skin for download?
Yes, my dad is uglier.
You obviously don't know a thing about Java. My recommendation is not to post when you have nothing to say. We have enough crap here at Slashdot forums.
Please don't take it as an offense.
Anything involving windows, IE and Media Player is too suspicious for me giving it a try.
You also need to use IE to open the URL in the e-mail that authenticate your tracks
The price is not the problem. The problem is what they allow you to do and what they don't. Next.
They should recommend avoiding Windows if their problem is security.
BTW, being Explorer unseparable from Windows, avoiding Explorer is avoiding Windows. Am I right, Bill?
It's quite simple. Happens when they don't have enough experience upgrading their computer, so they're a bit afraid of it.
Besides, after a couple of years hardware incompatibilities arise and prices go down enough for making a complete new Gx a better buy.
The bottom line of all this is that what people need is product information rather than mesmerizing "smiley faces"-"strange music" propaganda. This would lead to an ultracompetitive market corporates don't want because their profit margin would get lower and lower.
