actually, it's trying to legislate away a social "problem."
legislating away a technical problem is like Congress passing a law which would prohibit a motor vehicle from travelling the speed of light. which makes no sense.
a technical problem is when you run into a dead end within a given system, and you must change the system to achieve the desired results.
going back to the back-door insertion attempt on the Kernel, the rooting of gnu.org's ftp server, the compromise of Debian's servers... it's the same people doing this.
It's the same stuff everybody always cites. I don't even agree with the "feature bloat" point the author makes. Furthermore, it's just generalization. No specific mentions of any notible transgressors---just blanket criticism.
I've always dreamed that we who bitterly oppose all of these bad governmental actions get off our asses, get organized, and DO SOMETHING!!! Nobody is going to notice what is wrong if we just talk about it.
We need to pull off something big. Something everyone will notice. Marching in protest is one of those things.
In order to right injustices, you have to make sacrifices. (Haven't we learned anything from the various protests of the past fifty years?) You have to get the message out; you have to force people to notice. Perhaps sacrificing the time and money for many of us to come together in protest could happen.
The reason the DMCA, software patents, copyright law, and the like are not issues is because nobody knows they are issues except for us.
It may be a pipe dream, but I would love to see a Million Hacker* March on Washington.

Another article discusses whether Linux will become a target for viruses as its popularity grows.
I say bring it on.
Linux systems might be vulnerable to root exploits (as are all things on a network), but I want to see how well we would do against viruses.
As we've all seen, Windows systems are very vulnerable to fire-and-forget attacks, which pick up momentum as they infect. I want to see how well an automated attack can propagate itself against Linux.
You solution is fine and dandy for heavy usage over the Internet.
However, it doesn't sound like this is the case. It sounds like the asker will be using this system lightly to moderately, over a local network. Therefore, can you justify this:
WinConnect Server XP can be purchased for US $299.95 for a three user license.
Even if it's only $100 for one user, for the kind of use he implies, that money could be better spent. VNC (and ssh---yes, even through Cygwin---if necessary) sounds just right; RD would be overkill.
Nominally flat tax rates end up being regressive. Nominally progressive tax rates end up being flat rate.
IIRC, this is one of those things you learn in macroeconomics.
In other news, what I say is that we should have some kind of exponential formula on which one's rate is based. I feel that the bracket system cheats people out of money.
I eventually get it working in one laptop, I'm still not sure how. But, I never did get it working in my Sony VAIO. Like most Windows things, I can't get any low level information about why it's failing.. it just doesn't work.
This is exactly why I like Linux. Almost every problem I have is my fault. I'd rather have it be my fault than have faulty software.
Under Windows, I practice "voodoo computing": I do something in the hope that it fixes things. It does not. Rinse and repeat.

Then bring on the quotas. Have one for Joe, and one for Bill, et al.

I see one and only one way a tax on LANs becomes fair. That is if the tax money goes to improving the local and regional communications infrastructure
Ugh... currently under the influence of lorazepam and diphenylhydramine.

OK, so split the quota into two.
Limit X for sole propietorships, dual propietorships, and corporations having fewer than P employees.
Limit Y for the rest.
That cannot be what he meant to say. It contradicts what was said in the summary.
Of course, maybe if I just RTFA...
and beat the crap out of them.
That will end the spamming quickly.

The Constitution is a piece of paper.
What's important is the spirit with which it was made. That's what's in short supply here in America and elsewhere.
Hmm... I did not know this. Interesting.
I guess this is what one gets when one used to use XP Home...

Test the software very well, especially if anyone's life might depend on the output.

That sounds resonable.
Heuristics (probably)
Viruses which have similar mechanisms leave similar signatures (in the case of true viruses; I'm not exactly certain how (or if) it's done for worms).
