    No because i can still go to downloads.com and get kazaa....

    Sharman Networks has an office in Estonia where the guy who designed the encryption inside the kazaa protocal and two other programmers live.

    This office is not actually a part of Sharman Networks but a contractor for a company in the Netherlands, this company sold the Kazaa software to, Sharman Networks who are based in a south pacific island called Vanatu

    Vanatu famous for being an offshore tax, sex slave trade and gambling haven. The Exectutives of Sharman Networks only work in Australia.

    Actually Australia has a few more spam laws, one of which is that (Email) spammers' ISPs face a fine if they do not take reasonable actions to prevent spamming. I think they will expand that to telephone operators too. I know this because we contracted for one Aus ISP migrating to Windows 2000 from NT and we were explicitly told me put stupid messages in SMTP welcome messages to the effect of, "You are forbidden by law to send unsolicited messages".
    Quite useless really.

  16. MAC OSX is unix on Apple Sued Over Unix Trademark · · Score: 5, Informative

    A/UX was Apple's first try at a Unix operating system and was based on System V Release 2.2. But that wasn't where Apple stopped. They added custom extensions from Releases 3 and 4, and the networking and filesystem were from 4.2/4.3BSD. The GUI was System 7.0.1 (for A/UX 3.0.1, the version I use) and Apple's own version of the X Window System called MacX. I would say that this is Unix.

    Another example (closer to Mac OS X) is NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP. This OS uses the Mach kernel developed at Carnegie Mellon University with major contributions from Avie Tevanian. This Kernel had no natural interface, so to stay with standards, BSD was used as an interface layer (specifically 4.3BSD was licensed to be used). For a GUI, NeXT developed their own application environment (that would one day become Cocoa) and used Adobe's Display Postscript as the display engine (which Apple would replace after Rhapsody with Quartz, which used Apple's Display PDF in place of Display Postscript). There was no version of X Windows shipped with NeXT systems, but a number of people made versions for NeXT systems (much like people are doing today for Mac OS X). I would say that this is Unix.

    I, personally, have a hard time not considering anything that uses either System V or BSD to be Unix. These have been the pillars of this OS, and when not used have been the models for other operating systems. I would not consider POSIX to be a good way to judge a system as being Unix because Windows NT 4.0 was POSIX compliant and it is not Unix.
