If you've ever played paintball or anything else that uses gasses compressed this much, you'd have seen the tanks that will be used.
Typically, the tanks are some sort of high-tensile metal with 15-20 layers of kevlar wrapped around them. They can be shot with a bullet and not release their contents. So, safety considerations of the tank are less important than a thin metal tank full of a combustible material, such as gasoline.
So, if you write a book and I "steal" a copy of it and redistribute it....
Let's say you would have made $50,000 off of it.
I distribute it to 4 people, who distribute it for 4 more people. All 17 of us get sued and told to pay $10,000 in damages.
They are totally right in doing it, but they should at least have more acceptible fines than these insane ones.
I agree with you, James. You have reason to tighten that tinfoil hat.
Large corporations/foundations grow until they realize they are in it for their own interests. Upon that realization they feel it is no longer necessary and begin to think they are self-sustaining without the need to keep user support.
Eventually, one company will maintain user interest and will dominate the industry to be broken up by legislation paid for by other large conglomerates protecting their own interests.
But, when the time comes that bandwidth overshadows any realtime video bandwidth, video searching and viewing will become as ubiquitous as email and google now.
Isn't convenience important to those of us that have food and aren't sick?
Some people are narrow-sighted and don't really care if it doesn't affect them.
Personally, I'd rather see more research on nanotech instead as it could be used to do most of the same stuff GM can.
Or a yard of GM grass that won't allow it to start growing in the firstplace? and keeps pests away? and doesn't need trimming? and doesn't die if you don't maintain it? and costs the same as normal grass?
We're getting closer to a completely self-maintained habitat.
and I think that never having to worry about cutting the grass, bugproofing the house, trimming the trees, shooing snakes and such out of my yard, etc would be pretty cool.
How about no drivers, which means VGA graphics, no network, PIO disk access...
Find if you're running dos edit on it. Sucks if you want it to do some real work.
Or maybe you're the lucky one that is running the exact same configuration as the MS developer so thinks it works fine?
Ohhh... so it's kind of like Linux?

My previous company had 99.7% of computer up to date with our custom SP2 rollout.
I don't see what kind of problems everywhere else is having.
We had 13000+ machines upgraded with very little failure (3%) in a matter of weeks.

Although the ebuild has propagated to the rsync rotation, the distfile won't go out until a server does its sync once every 2 hours.
So.... chill.
Why not post it to somewhere anonymous like SANS, etc?
They can contact the teams in other methods I'm sure, and if not, they can publish it and force a fix.
With an RSA Key Fob.

I pay $10 a YEAR for webhosting on a 100meg connection.
2.4gig space with 120 GIG a month bandwidth.
You just need to look around. There is no reason to run the sites out of your house anymore.
How many satellites are destroyed on a daily basis by this debris?
If something is up there 24/7 and doesn't have the problem, then I'd say the risk is currently small enough for the shuttle.
And after an **AA person presents to the court a full audit of your network and sees your PCs as locked down but not your network....
What's your defense then?

If you knowingly keep your network open, you should be held accountable for all traffic on said network.
At least that's how the court would look at it.

What about black holes? Are they just saying there is no light being emitted?

Is Microsoft hoping to incorporated any interoperability for using Linux-based binaries? IE, an embeded version of Cygwin for instance.
No problems?

Buzzword buzzword buzzword, incorrectly used terminology, buzzword buzzword.
You can do that now by going into your Desktop | Preferences | File Management applet.
Yeah... 640x480 screenshots with a shitty theme really show us the changes to Gnome.
Is it me, or does this look worse than the stock ubuntu install Gnome?
Links that Speakeasy chooses?
As in their paid advertisers? What's next? Companies integrating spyware into Firefox and redistributing it?
And this is when users need to actually read the warnings about certificates being different than the last time accessing the site...
Again, if common-sense is used, 99% of phishing can be stopped.
Oh, there will be at least 3 more stories about it.
One dupe of this.
Another story about the end of online support on Jan 1st, 2007.
and
Another dupe of that.
