Such a ruling would render France defenseless against an axis attack of their Internet. And probably (time and time again) cause good ol' US of A to come and rescue the French in their time of needs.
I'd like to think that the French National Security Directorate (or equivalent) will overrule this asinine ruling.
But you never know... I mean when was the last time the French won a war (snicker)
Goes a long way to teaching (and preserving) the ancient civilization of weaving basket. And maybe recapture those lost arts of basket weaving.
Plus, you can put that final nail of a couple more rural basket weavers into the obsolete technology career coffin. And keep the job where it belongs, technology pink-collar workers where they need it most.
Besides, you actually do get to put that Design Pattern book to good use.
Many news and medias outlets are foisting article titles so fast that even if you read them, they go like a blurr...
EU Patents Won't Stay Dead
Euro ministers set to OK patent measure
European Parliament votes to scrap software patent text
EC rebuffs Parliament's patent restart request
Reboot ordered for EU patent law
Open source prepares to kiss EU patent ass goodbye
EU patents vote delayed
EU patent law stumbles, fail
European Parliament Throws Out Patent Bill
My head is spinning. Perhaps, I haven't fully absorb the new Euro government structure and its basic triangle relationship between the EC, EuroParliment and Patent. But these medias aren't helping with their front-page titles.
The only one that I understand is this one article:
Linus Torvalds against EU patent directive...

The grey areas of servers that most ISP are struggling with are the potentially "bandwidth-intensive" servers such as:
1. Web server, authenticated (i.e. Family web) 2. FTP server, authenticated 3. SMTP server, TLS/SSL 4. SIP (aka VoIP) 5. Instant Messaging Server (i.e. Jabber)
The definite (or should be) no-nos are:
1. Web server, open 2. FTP, anonymous 3. SMTP server, un-authenticated (or worse, SMTP open-relay) 4. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) 5. NNTP 6. P2P VoIP (aka Skype)
Now, throw enough products on the market/Internet such as eDonkey/Sharaza/Gnutella/Skype, achieve mass appeal/domination, and then the ISP would have no choice but to support them.
As incredulous as it may sound, this appears to be an asinine (sub)cabinet appointment.
Maybe it takes a spy-meister to sit on the other side of the table to deal with this illusive dilemna.
On a slight off-topic (and a risk of karma-whoring...) Simply put, if the software industry only (and only if) just tighten up their security vulnerabilities to the point of "none.", then (and only if then) we wouldn't need this haberdashers.
(sigh). --- Make software industry accountable; abolish click-thru EULA that gets automatically enforced once the shrinkwrap is removed. How can one read this EULA before opening it?
If you don't mind the HUGE latency, I'm sure one of the many Linux fanatic can conjure up a neat vanilla box outfitted with six PCI-based audio cards and carry up to six conversation at once.
Free phone calls may be well-received by most soilders who are desperate to hear the voice of their love ones (delayed or not).
The core technology, that being said, is the Internet connection. You say you have it already.
Win2003 has far fewer market share than RedHat (by an order of magnitude of 10.)
(Smile).
Is this a case of a "too Late in the game?" This VERY RECENT Slashdot story stated that Windows 2003 lost a market opportunity of 560 WinTel (compared to 30 Solaris) to just one RedHat mainframe for a huge Bank.
For 5 releases (2.4 to 2.9), I haven't been able to drag and drop a new ICON/application into the START menu bar, yet.
Last time I tried this, it involved a convoluted method of editing three different files just to borne a new application menu item within the START menu.
Apparently, from what I've gathered from laid-off MCI/Worldcom employees, this may be the work of a lone mid-level manager try to boost his bottom line and impress his local vice president.
MCI CEO and board members... Try moving your lip and ennunicating your voice clearly by following the Donald Trump and "The Apprentice"...

You may effectively disabled a factory-installed diagnostic set that was installed in every N car by its automotive engineering team.
When the dealer gets the flag based on your VIN, then he proceeds to replace it.
Patent Laywers at the patent office are getting snow-blizzard.
Does this means, the patent reviewers are added to the growing list of Microsoft-bashers?
Thou shall not use my personal data without my expressed permission.
Penalty is defined by the Copyright laws.
Use it wisely, that is, if you can get my permission.
I'm so glad you're not programming for the national missles defense force or designing Boeing 747 computers or designing medical heart rate monitors.
Such a FUCKED UP logic, if I've ever seen any.

After leaving prominent Intrusion Prevention Company, I never dreamed that I would be "harassed" by a Microsoft recruiter for almost 3 months!
Wasn't even in my list of desired states to live in.
Sheesh..

You are entitled to run the following "server ports" and not yet fall into a AUP-definition of a server.

A lemonade stand with an credit card paypoint.
I wonder what the kids do with all that info.
This identity theft is an impending train wreck on the Social Security Number.
I think its time to adopt something like a Sweden model of smartcards for a national id.
No smartcard is worth its salt without a personal user-definable PIN number.
And forget this Bio-authentication crap. Bio-authentication is never revokable once stolen.
As incredulous as it may sound, this appears to be an asinine (sub)cabinet appointment.

Subway Rider 1 - "I'm gonna FRAG YOUR ASS!"
Subway Riders steps away...

Just ask! Many of them are patriotic.
Why, but of course, it's both that we should protect and give rights to.
The trade secret's best protection is granularity of trade secret.
Freedom of Press's best protection is verification.

Biometric is not EVER revokable... despite being accompanied with a PIN or other form factor authentication.
Once your biometric is stolen, nothing can replace it.
When is general populace going to get a clue, like us esteemed Slashdot readers do?
