I think that current approaches to circumvent censorship are wrong.
Proxies try to prevent filters to filter by origin of the info. Crytography tries to prevent the filter to make sense of the info.
I think it would be better to simply reduce the rate of byte per letter/character. Right now it is roughly 1 byte / 1 character. If there was a way of turning any web page into jpegs, and still interact with it using some AJAX trickery, the web page would be nearly impossible to filter automatically. If you force human intervention to filter content, the effort to do it would be so great they would have to give it up or close the internet connection to the rest of the world.
You could call the technique "captching", as any web page would be readable only to humans, not to machines (whithout intensive carachter recognition software)

Rename instead. -You memory is not infinite. Write what you do.
I suppose they should teach two alternative views of American history, the currently taught, and the view of the victims of American wars, indian extermination, japanese american concentration camps, etc.
It just doesn't make sense, you see?
The position with the widest support by scientist is the one to teach. USA is the only country in the world were teaching anything alternative to evolution is even considered. There is a reason for that, and it is not wind up american creationists / I Designers.
I find disturbingly amusing some USA - only cultural differences, like being the last country that hasn't gone metric, this creationism debate, and the fact that there are so few places where women sunbath top less.
This doesn't mean we Europeans are not disturbingly amusing sometimes as well.
You are again mistaking criminal japanese and the whole population of japan. Probably there were some people responsible for the deaths in China in Nagasaki, but Do you think they were all involved? The children too? Read my post again: There is no such a thing as collective responsibility, individual people are responsible for what they do. What if you surname was Smith and I punish you because a Smith hurt me? Is that justice? Come on.
Your reasoning is fallacious. If a japanese kill someone in china, killing an innocent japanese in Nagasaki doesn't "cancel out" anything.
There is not "collective responsibility" but for the higher levels in the government.
Unless we see people as individually responsible for their actions, there will always be racism, nationalism, and other hate-sims.

I can think of a reason to upgrade: WAP support for WiFi, and a reason not to upgrade: my sister in law can't watch AVI movies in her television trough her TV output with XP.
I agree. Probability can be used only when there is enough historical data that you can use, as long as the system and the conditions don't change. As data is NEVER collected about how frequent or serious or costly are incidents, there's absolutly nothing you can use to do any real risk calculus.
Furthermore, the system (IT) and the conditions (threat scenario) do change.
Most consultants just cook the numbers to get the results managers want from them.
I usually say that mixing estimating figures with mathematics is like mixing magic with physics. (Ummm, eh, forget quantum physics)
I think we should compare apples to apples here. Windows is suffering from a larger installed base plus virus plus worms.
I bet most defacements exploit misconfigurations in Linux. When you configure a box just rigth, very seldomly it will get compromised. You have a guy doing some "work" to deface you.
With a worm you just release and sit down. The installed base will do the dirty work for you.
There are far less Linux worms than windows worms, reasons twofold:
- linux people are more security concious.
- linux has a smaller installed base.
No need to evaluate these OS technical excellence. You can do that when you get the same percent of the market.
Did anyone ever notice that the first reference to psicohistory is not Asimovs? It comes from a Sherlock Holmes story. I read the complete SH stories, and it was there. Unfortunately, I dont remember which. Anyone?

Ooops! I suppose writing their names down could be an acceptable alternative...
The easiest and more accurate tecnique would be to use the catch-recatch tecnique from biology.
Not all citizens, as far as I know, people serving a sentence can't vote in USA

Silent Running should make it to that list. Sadly forgotten film where SFX meets environmentalist concerns.

I advice people not to click inlined url's and search their bank's link via google.

You type less, and google shows just the relevant url's, so it's safe to click them.
