Well the "speech" that Microsoft is releasing is protected by certain rights, copyright, patent etc... These rights are granted by the society in which Microsoft operate, and they are granted to Microsoft with the understanding that they will not abuse those rights to gain an unfair advantage in an otherwise laissez faire economy. If like you claim "people/companies were free (as in speech!) to release their code under whatever license terms they wish" without any obligation to their social contract then it is within my right to terminate the rights that I granted to Microsfot in the first place.
you got to be kidding right? if you give me all the characters in your password and the length of your password how long do you think it will take me to guess your password?
I dont really understand how anyone could take code from one project and magically fit it into another project withought sacrificing design and elegance. This is usually not even worth the effort for forks of the same project. Anyone else here had to backport features from one major revision of a product? Its not an easy task, and its an obvious eye sore for even a novice programmer.

Usually when something like this comes up you cant shut up about violation of privacty etc... Of all things this is a terrible step in the wrong direction. Laws have been written now are not expected to be 100% enforcable. Luckly its impossible to keep track of every citizen and make sure that they follow them. Think about what your life would be like if every piece of information about you was constantly monitored. Would you get drunk before you where 21? would you smoke pot? Get in a fist fight? how about breaking sodamy (oral sex...) laws with your spouse. Lots of people commit crimes every day, they only difference between them and criminals is that they where never caught. Instead of using this new technology to make punishment more effective how about trying to make rehabilitation more effective?
as soon as a method for stegnography is discovered it basically looses any advantage. the only way it could work is if the number of methods would increase at a exponential or higher rate. otherwise any interested party can just brute force your data for every possible stegnoraphy method. even if one that you use hasn't been discovered yet they can store that data and check it later. in either case if you got something to hide from they you are screwed. a much better way for secure communication is http://www.xelerance.com/mirror/otr/
Astronomers from Tacoma to Vladivostok have just reported an ionic disturbance in the vicinity of the Van Allen Belt. Scientists are recommending that necessary precautions be taken.
i had the same problem for a while, but if you add the application launcher applet to kicker and set up firefox as the default broweser you can use the applet to launch firefox with kde's shortcuts, like gg:blah for google or wp:blah for wikipedia etc...
i wish the drag and drop for links into kget worked in firefox, but i havent figured out how to get that to work.

the inherent problem with source based distro's is a lack of a proper progress bar. would you really care if its an rpm being installed or something being compiled as long as there is a bar and an indicator of how much time is left?
being in odessa when a bunch of "survivers" where sent to live out the last of their days. odessa, ukraine is kind of a resort town for vacationing buerocrats and a tuirist attraction for foreigners. there were mostly little kids around were our dacha was, but there were the unlucky soldiers there as well that were sent in to clean up that mess without any protection what so ever. It was really creepy seeing a bunch of hairless kids play on the beach, i was just a kid then and didnt quite understand what was going on but the images stuck, but it could explain why i harbor so much resentment towards anyone associated with that regime.

was this part of some cruel joke? since i never see normal stories linked via coral, i never get to read any of stories
this story infringes on my previously copyrighted work:
as you can clearly see my work was repeatedly copied verbatim in the story.
why isn't this done by the editors?
NO

I made about $10000/mo for just shy of 8 months running a pair of computers playing Everquest for me while I slept
highly dubious
I will try every possible algorithm I know :), and every two years it will take me half as long to do that :)
