In Canada, using file sharing networks to share files that you have the right to share is legal (ie public domain or Creative Commons). Downloading music and movies (not software) is legal since you paid for it when you bought your blank CD, HDD, or MP3 player. Uploading music and movies you do not have the right to (ie Copyrighted and not Creative Commons) is illegal.
Where are you supposed to download from if noone is allowed to upload? I don't know. You are allowed to lend a CD to a friend, and they're allowed to copy it (for personal use), but you're not allowed to make a copy and give it to your friend.
I've seen lots of kernel panics that weren't my fault...
Someone spilled water inside a monitor, sending high voltage back to the motherboard...
Faulty hard drive cable on the root drive...
Power supply too small for the load...
Drive crash on root drive...
Room temperature exceeded 38C...
Have you considered patching Postgres' query optimizer to short-circuit queries that cannot return any tuples due to integrity constraints? It's dumb for Access to ask, but it's also dumb for Postgres to go look up the answer. (no flames please, I'm a big Postgres fan myself)
if someone really wants to avoid John Law they could just write a proprietary program with a proprietary encryption protocol.
Or just use good-old talk encapsulated with OpenSSL.
And for file transfers, there's always scp or https (with client certificates).
I'm sure someone could rig something up really quick to do point to point audio wrapped in TLS (via OpenSSL). Or just set up a VPN between firewalls and use Netmeeting, OpenPhone, or GnomePhone.
Jboss stories on slashdot with no indication of what jboss is for (or why anyone would care). Didn't we go through this last year (and figure out that they were all slashvertizements?)?
Exactly. I paid for the linux kernel by submitting a patch. Many people have paid far more time than me. I paid for the most recent version of Mac OS with money. I paid for both.
I was under the impression they were planning on working with content providers to insert advertisements into the content. IE providing legal downloads of TV shows... with commercials.
When TV was commercialized it was paid for with commercials. Bittorrent, like TV is a broadcast medium. It's hard to charge for access to torrents, and someone has to pay for content (either with time or money).
When I worked in a convenience store, one parent insisted on having his kid arrested when caught shoplifting. It only happened once (The kid learned either not to shoplift or not to get caught).
So what he's saying is... the phone makes a good computer if you fundamentally change it's features? A full sized keyboard and monitor are not pocket sized. Pnoto.Net, Greenspun's own site would be a very different experience on a pocket sized device.
They openly tell you what it does. The trojan horse (the original) wasn't draped in a banner saying "50 hoplites inside who will wait until you fall asleep then open the city gates".
The Dodge Viper is not ready for street racing because my 1982 Toyota pickup is rusted out and has bad compression.
Parent argument is that Linux is not ready for the average joe's desktop because manual installation of GUI software written for a different OS and Apache and OpenLDAPON SOLARIS is difficult.
Sorry, but these are not things that the average joe needs to do on their desktop, and Solaris is not Linux
On Gentoo, a Linux distribution known for being cryptic and non-intuitive, these tasks are one line each ("emerge bluefish" and "USE=“ldap” emerge openldap apache" respectively). On other distributions like mandriva, both can be done via a GUI.
If you're making crystal meth, getting caught should be a tertiary concern, behind getting shot by annother dealer, stabbed by one of your clients, and blowing your house up.

No, you're using it as an ASIC, which it is.

A real geek would know what to use it for.
Zero CPU implementations of this.
Paper and pencils can be made by anyone. Scrutineers are handy too; and scaleable.
Communicating within a closed group, you don't have to make outbound calls.
Or just use good-old talk encapsulated with OpenSSL.
And for file transfers, there's always scp or https (with client certificates).

I'd bet someone already has.

Not much fast, low latency internet access either, so playing MMORPGs on aircraft is out.
If you're sitting in one place long enough to play a game for 3 hours, plug it in.

Seems a good Idea to me.

Pier 57. Look it up.

Unless you're a twin.
Anarchist, actually.

Or know the fingerprint, which I do.
People who have a clue about the subject know what I was talking about.
