Ok, I havn't read the article, but, from the replies, I get the feeling that the message is sent to a server where it is decrypted and then returned to the client...
Doesn;t this completely defeat the object of encrypting emails? I mean, it's being sent between the server and the client in plaintext, (same with key), so anyone with a packet sniffer can get the key and the email when the email is recieved and read.
a jab. Freuds whole outlook on life was biased due to him being abued as a child, and now a large number of psychologists follow him religiously. They convince patients that they were abused as children, and many of those patients have taken their parents to court. It's called False Memory Syndrome.
The Oedipus story is quite important if you have interest in Psychology...
THe "Oedipus Complex" is a core trait of the human psyche (according to Fraud, anyway), and Freudians claim it is the sole route of all complex' and disorders.
Basically, the story is this: Every young male is in love with his mother, and jealous of his father. He is scared of his father so distances himself from his mother to get on his fathers good side to avoid castration (Freud was abused as a child). With girls, it's slightly different. They're jealous of her fathers penis (this is where the term Penis envy comes from, it has nothing to do with size), so distance themselves from their fathers.
See, some of the BS you learn in English is useful in other areas...
There was allready a free alternative to Linux, which Linux was based on. It was called Minix. It was created for academic use due to the very tight licensing on other *NIXes.
When you teach them of babylon, greece, aztecs, druids and satanists, what will you teach them?
Will you teach them xian opinions of them or what they believe. For example, babylon, greek and aztec religions were polythiestic, as were the druids. They do not worhsip demons (or daemons, like some UNIX people), they just have gods for different emotions and feelings. satanism, on the other hand, is another form of christianity. They believe in christ, but choose to follow Satan (which is a christian myth) instead of the trinity. I hope you teach your children facts, not fundimentalist fiction.
Well, this could be a problem due to the fact that Airports were designed for use in (big suprise coming up) AIRPORTS, where there could be military trafic in the area.
So, there you are, hapilly using your iBook, when a Mirage suddenly detects an unauthorised radiation emission. After notifying ATC, they detect it too... a radar emision in an airport. Terrorists? Maybe... Stinger missile? Maybe... So, the pilot gets authorisation to open fire... ah well, at leadt there's one less Mac user in the world...
xians have no concept of right and wrong (in my experience, they have no experience of left and right either, but that's another story.). They are drones who believe what they are told by a book full of contradiction and hearsay what is right and wrong, and not even they can decide on that.
And tyrannical humanism is a contradiction in terms (but you are a christian, so you wouldn't know a contradiction if one went up to you, painted itself purple and sang "Contradictions are here to stay").
And you want to restrict your childrens knowledge of other cultures? I guess that makes you a bad parent. Your children will grow up closed minded and ignorant of the world around them. One day, they'll probably go into some Muslim country and get shot for a lack of belief in Allah.
Home schooling allows parents to deprive their children of important knowledge because this knowledge contradicts their religious/cultural believes. The children end up growing up ignorant of science, politics and they have restricted freedom of choice.
Most homeschooling is due to religious (read fundimentalist) parents not liking the fact that the US Government prohibits religion in schools (or, at least they did prohibit it).
As it's one of the few commercial applications available for both Linux and Windows, it is the perfect candidate for a usability test and benchmark, as they will operate in very similar ways...
Comparing somethign like Apache with IIS is complete invalid as they are 2 very different applications, same with Office and StarOffice.
To do a *fair* test on these systems, you need applications which run on both, such as StarOffice on WIndows version StarOffice on Linux, or WordPerfect on Windows and WordPerftect on Linux...
Only when this is done, can you have a fair comparison of usabililty and performance.
Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just pay the bloke a new boat, instead of retasking a satalite and then paying out the court fees... (or maybe, they could've just sent an investigator out to his house....)
Due to changes in society, people have needed to redefine what is valuable and what's not. 10 years ago, objects that did complecated calculations needed dedicated hardware are systems back then weren't powerful enough to implement it. These days however, complex calculations have moved from the physical world of dedicated circuitry to software for doing it. So, instead of patenting a board, you patent an idea, as there is no physical attribute to software. Software patents were just the next logical step in the world of patents, as they are a more efficient and cost effective way of developing new systems.
10 years ago, ATMs had dedicated processors and other assorted hardware for the interface. Now, they're just Windoze boxes with a difference. You still need to patent these systems to keep them profitable.
Maybe if the contestants concentrated on a small part of it, such as AI or some scripted events, they could get more out of it. THay way, they wouldn't need to study the whole code, just some small parts of it.

Ever heard of the Mozilla project? That's the Nestcape source code....
And IMHO, I think IE is a helluva lot better than Netscape.
Actually, it's not only government monopolies that are unnoticed.
Here in the UK, if you buy a product that has any chemical in it, chances are, it was produced by ICI. But, as ICI don't deal witht he public, nobody knows about them, and they have complete market domination (moreso than MS). People only dislike MS because they know they exist, and are jealous.
MS is not just one big company. They outsource a large percentage of the development to smaller companies. Only the major MS apps such as Office and Windows are written in house. Have a look on the boxes of other Microsoft products. They'll have more than one software house on it... Microsoft are becoming a PUBLISHER.
You expect a government run company to tell more of the truth than an independant organisation? (although, that "Tonight" program on ITV last night seemed a bit biased against the corporations...)
