"So yeah, he's an idiot, but does the punishment truly fit the crime? Is this a case where he could have broken into Apple's HQ, slaughtered the entire Tiger OS team with a hatchet and gotten a lighter sentence? (Note I have no clue what the punishment will be, damn work blocks all blog sites.)"
You sure have a good knowledge about justice and how courts work in general.
Whoa! Like when you could actually buy network cards that communicated only protocol layer to OS?
Actually it's fun. Once the computer was full of small, dedicated processors that dealt with various processing where it was applicable and your old 486 actually didn't felt that bad.
Didn't felt bad when compared to P200 with winmodem, cheap NIC and AC97 sound card.

Simple oil radiator consumes about 1500 - 2500W. Your computer - 400-700W (computer, monitor, any peripherals, the broadband box so you can down^H^H^H^H support your important calculations).
So, if the computer is hot enough, it's definetly cheaper than heater:)

They would have all the reasons to go for the sources if they KNEW that the source HAS breached the contract. Since they DO NOT know that FOR SURE and cannot prove it before the court, they cannot prove that there have been a breach of contract, in what case, the journalist would have been more or less obligated to cooperate.
Since the chances are just the 50%/50% that this still could be some pass-by watcher or visitor to the plant where it saw too much - the journalist has it's rights to remain silent.
Once Apple proves that there have been a breach of contract, then it leaves the territory of First whatever how you call it there (and generally don't care about it too;)) and becomes a crime. That's all.
No, it didn't. But on the other hand - neither of them had (reasonably) unlimited gobs of wicked cash so they could tell all of us how great the thing is while saving the earth or just playing volleyball just to stare at real-like boobs.
After all, this is consumer market - and regardless of how wicked cool device you have on the shielf, nobody will even take a look at it unless they will be repeatedly reminded how it is called* - just so they remember the name when they are in the store. Something with long-term memory of consumers, I suppose. Solved with marketing. Or friends that jump around you in extacy when you are in the store.

This is the point - this means that if, just by accident, it turns out that the given software performs illegal actions, uses your computer to store kiddie porn or starts to send spam to.gov or.mil adresses, verisign can track the body it issued sertificate to and hold it accountable.
And it has nothing to do with actual quality of software it has signed.

Really recorded conversation on the frequency of marine emergency on channel 106 to wide of the coast of Finisterra (Galicia), between galiziani and Americans, 16 October 1997.
Spanish: (bottom noise)... speaks the A-853 to you, please, tackings 15 degrees south in order to avoid to enter in collision with we. Been you directing exactly against of we, distance 25 miles nautical.
Americans: (bottom noise)... we suggest you to turn 15 degrees north in order to avoid the collision
Spanish: Negative. We repeat, tackings 15 degrees south in order to avoid collision
Americans: (an other voice) speaks to the Captain about one ship to You of the States United of America. You intimiamo to turn 15 degrees north in order to avoid collision.
Spanish: We do not consider it possible, of convenient, suggest to you to turn of 15 degrees in order to avoid to meet to you with we.
Americans: (animated tone) SPEAKS CAPTAIN to YOU RICHARD JAMES HOWARD, TO THE COMMANDO OF AIRCRAFT CARRIERS USS LINCOLN, NAVY OF THE UNITED STATES Of AMERICA, The SECOND SHIP FROM GREAT WAR PIU' Of the FLEET AMERICAN.

THE MEASURES NECESSARY IN ORDER TO GUARANTEE THE EMERGENCY OF THIS SHIP.
PLEASE INMEDIATAMENTE OBEYED And ARE REMOVED From OUR ROUTE!!!
Spanish: Juan Manuel Salas Alcantara speaks to you. We are 2 persons. Us they escort our dog, the food, 2 beers, and a canary that now is sleeping. We have the support of the radio station "Cadena Dial de Coruña "and channel 106 of marine emergency.
We do not head from no part, inasmuch as we speak from the firm earth, we are in the beacon A-853 di Finisterra on the Galiziana coast.
We do not have the more pale idea than that place we have in it classifies of the Spanish beacons.
You can take the measures that considered opportune and to make those haul that it seems to you in order to guarantee the emergency of your ship of merda that sfracellerà on the cliff.
Therefore we insist of new and we suggest you to make the thing sensata and to change to your route of 15 degrees south in order to avoid the collision.

The new store policy now includes a line: "Compressing your computer with the aid of hydraulic press or functionally similar means obviously voids your warrianty."
The recent rise of money laundering operations in Latvian banks recently have been stated as one of the most important issues to be resolved, what, actually, isn't that simple, because Latvia is very popular money transferring facility for legimate Russian and Asian businesses. In fact some of our banks have cancelled their relationships with more suspicios banks aboard, exactly due to this reason.
And as for online banking security;) No problems with passwords here. Each bank uses slightly different, but efficient three-level authorisation system. Including keypads, challenge/code generators and similar nifty solutions.
And as for loosing the money - give me a break. We are an european union country, so, of course, we are quite capable to cooperate fast & efficient with law enforcement in such cases. Even in this case - the criminal actually got only 20000 usd, the rest (70'000) currently is frozen, and of course, will be transferred back as soon as situation is clear (and the small amount of loss is just because we have a law that you cannot withdraw or operate with money amount exceeding ~9'800 USD without proper passport ID authorisation)
Tell me - why do you think they are lying. Yes, their operating system is insecure. Yes, it's slow and buggy and difficult to administrate as hell. Yes, they don't adhere to standards and change their supported features often.

Take a look at power5.
My first computer had 20 megs of mfm hdd...
Let's see.
PIII ~ 133MHZ SDR SDRam (~2 gigs / s)
GPU ~ 400 MHZ puperDuper GDDR3 (~20 gigs/s)
---
PIII ~ 28M transistors
GPU (X800) ~ 160M transistors
---
I won't even compare computing abilities. X800 already has far surpassed P4 in its floating point speed.
P-III. Heh.
altough I say - shit this. Pentium 4 with it's 115W of heat output would be far better suited for this.
1:0 Intel to Cyrix
You sure have a good knowledge about justice and how courts work in general.
So, it appears that Canada again is the first one who has made a reasonable* approach to fight against spamming?
*Reasonable from a legal POW, none that it would change anything.

Firefox thinks about usability.
You wouldn't associate Open Source with usability even if forced to.

Yes, and it's not even Wednesday today.

But how is this different from Linux?
