With make files I can run ispell (I don't know of a spell checker I can use with Ant.) With make files, I can upload to my web site using scp (Is there a Java scp?)
With Ant, you can also do it, use the task and your done.
You can also write you custom task that will invoke the tool the way you want it.
It really looks that the DMCA induce so much fear that people start to censure themself.
The media corporation must be really happy yo see this.
I doubt very much that the DMCA would apply to a description of a patch WITHOUT applying to the patch itself. If the patch is supposed to be legal under the DMCA, why would it's description would be illegal.
I believe that these guys try the wrong way to persuade others that the DMCA is bad.
A good random number generator would probably do the trick.
Just use it to select geographics coordinate within some area and you will cheat any profiling software.
When a location does not contain a populated are, flip a coin to know if you drive there anyway or just select another random location.
To be truly random though, you must also select a random area first. It would also help if the place were the person live is not located in the area as long as he does not travel back home after each shooting (some the time between each shooting will not be affected by it's home location).
Why would they need to own server. This kind of application could be rented to police dept (I don't know if the vendor offer them that option though) of any size.
I don't think a police dept of any size have the resources/skills to administer/own ANY computer systems (Just like most businesses).
My observation for 9/11 waw that major news site crawled under the load. However, less often visited news site were responsive all day and gave the same news with the same level of coverage than the big news sites.
So I must say, find some smaller news site and bookmark them. When your big-shot news site will crawl under load, just go to the small one and you will get your news.
BTW if you just want nice video, the Intenet is not the place to go, turn on your TV, you'll get far better image quality and you don't have to wait until the video is buffered.
However, one must not forget that they are not really alone. They are in constant contact with people on land that will study the wheater and suggest better route. They people on land will also have a list of the things that must be done on the boat to keep it in top shape.
Yes, they are alone in handling the boat (and suffering all the bad thing that can happen on the boat - especially in the south) but this is really a team effort.
Actually, the total number of chips on on GSM phone that would be usable is two... one chip for the phone functionality and the other chip is the SIM card.
Their website is not very generous on details on how it work.
If no special hardware is needed to make it work, then it probably rely on software to do decrypt the disk.
The key used to descrypt the disk is sent to the computer when a legitimate request is made. Once you have the key, who is going to prevent you from keeping it and reuse it later.
How can they have dynamic keys if the CD-ROM is encrypted once?
It would also be probably easy to pose a reading request as legitimate and then decrypt the whole disk and store the cleartext ready to be burn on a new CD.
This kind of scheme may prevent M Smith from copying the disk, but M Cracker will find a way arround the protection in no time.
All copy protection scheme inveted as of yet were defeated. This one will go the same way.
The problem with DRM that people see right now is that the big media cie want to use it to restrict the ability of the consumer to use the content he pay for.
However, DRM can be use in way not to restrict restict the consumer but to make him know that someone took time to create the content and may want to be rewarded for it's work.
Picture this. I create a song or a nice little movie. I want to distribute it but also it would be great that if people want it, that they can send me money.
So I put it on the DRMuttela network (a p2p network that implement some form of DRM). Now a consumer find the content I created. When (or while) he download the content, a small window appear with asking him to send me some $$$ if he likes it. Also whenever the file is played, the player check if the content has been payed for. If not and the nag threshold has been reached, then the small window appear again.
If the user decide to pay me some $$$ then I send him a key or whatever that will tell the DRM system not to nag the consumer anymore.
Note that the DRM system should allow the user to actually transfer the file to another format. (I know this can probably allow the user to bypass the DRM altogether. But transfered file can be stamped in some way so the author can know retrace the key that was used to transert the file to the other format - this will be a deterent to user that want to share the transfered file)
If the system is not too annoying, then most people will not try to bypass it.
This will be like most shareware we have today. You can download them freely and some will nag you from time to time so you buy the software if you use it.
I know that big media cie will not like a system like this because there is not enough control but the small label or independent artist will see great advantage in such system.
The device also have a USB port for large data transfert.
The bandwidth is twice what required for viewing the MPEG4 movies (I assume the 37 hours of MPEG4 in the PR and the 16hours needed to copy all the stuff).
So it's more than enough for listening/viewing content.
The lack of progress is directly proportional to the lack of consummer demand.
Current TV broadcast signal a sufficient to the majority of people. Who care to have Friend's broadcast with greater than VGA resolution.
Resolution is mainly a problem when you scale digital images with square pixels. You have to digitaly process the image to smooth pixels. This is why watching TV on a PC with a high resolution screen look worse than watching it on a bigger TV screen.
However, with analog signal, you have to care less about resolution. Because the signal is not perfect, the pixel will blend anyway and will look good even on a big screen (when watched from an appropriate distance).
High resolution image are important maynly with fixed (or slowly moving) images when then image (plan) move, resolution is much less important and visible.

Nothing in Canada's trade mark law prohibit you to trademark a mythological name.
The Canadian Intellectual Property Office has a nice document resuming what can and cannot be trademarked.
While they say that they do not use DRM, there is no word (that I could find) about watermarking. They may or may not do it. You have to trust them.
... So they created an orange that is bigger than an apple!

he just wanted to have some spare change for his next fishing trip.
Now they don't seems to have any data on framerate you can achieve or power consumption when the complete screen is refreshed frequently.

I also admire these solo racers.

BTW the guy never got in jail. He was fined and on probation for a year.
And this is a good way to make the software co loose money.
The amount of money they give you is greater that the amount of money they got when they sold the box to the retailler.
If enough people do it, they the software co will loose a lot of money because of the EULA.
You forgot to mention:
Geography: each company already has more customers in some part of the world.
Yes it does. However, the case was pursued in Germany. So it's not under US jurisdiction.
This problem is not one of technology, but one of trust between the theater owner/operator and the movie industry.
No amout of DRM will prevent this kind of piracy.
Of course they can try to outlaw camcorders...

I also have the same question.
I have a VisorPhone and you cannot use the IRDA port while using the phone for a data call.
Does anybody knows if the Treo has the same limitation? (The handspring FAQ offer no help on that aspect).

Bill Gate used to forgot to take a bath / shower too when going to important meeting / show in the early age of Microsoft.
However, it seems that it was not a show stopper!
