The problem is, someone who is wriging a virus doesn't care that they are breaking the law. What's an added DMCA violation? Nothing. Those are the people I'm worried about.
Also, if there is a way to update the certs, then the scheme can be broken by hacking/breaking the server that contains the certs. I can just imagine, everyone moves to trusted computing, and 10 years later a huge hack is done and no one can access anything they did in those last 10 years...
That is until viruses start getting written that can pass the DRM. No security is ever fool proof and eventually someone somewhere will crack DRM and we will be back in the same situation as we are now. It happened to the XBox, why won't it happen on these new chips?
That's a management trick. If they only give factual information, changes are you weren't liked. Where as if they talk about you and say how much they liked you, then chances are that they liked you.
One way I've found to write well documented code, is to first write very general pseudo code, then for each block of pseudo code write really code (or a function).
So my code starts like://initialize the variables//Execute the operation 1000 times//generate output//clean up//return
And each of those lines can either become a function, with more documentation within, or a small block of code.
This not only helps to force me to document (which I hate to do) but it allows me time to think of the algorithm that I wish to use, instead of the nitty gritty code.
Also, don't forget to liberally use whitespace. Separating blocks of code with newlines is an easy way to help people read your code.
As far as I can tell, when you combine (by that I mean append) two hashes, you end up with a hash that's at least as strong as the stronger original. Therefore you just developed a stronger hash.
When my friend got hit by a car, the car slowed down enough to just toss him onto the hood (and then back on the ground). He had a concussion, and a few scrapes and achey muscles. If he had been wearing a helmet, the worst injury (the concussion) would have been avoided.
Every state has a "usage tax." When you buy products from state A and use them in state B, you are supposed to get a refund on the tax from state A and pay to tax to state B.
When I moved from MD to MN, I got a partial refund of my car sales tax and had to pay it to MN...although this all happened without my intervention when I registered my car in MN.
The whole purpose of copyright is to increase the flow of ideas, and that can't happen effectively when the only thing visible to the public is the effects of the ideas, rather than the ideas themselves. I have to disagree with you, but that is similar to saying that movies can only be copyrighted if the producers of the movie explain every piece of technology behind the making of that movie. Should Pixar be required to show us the code to it's trade secret software just because it was used in the making of a copyrighted movie?
Lets see here, IBM develops a lot of open-source code. IBM also develops a lot of closed-source code. If IBM wants to start using some techniques that they patented in open-source code (such as samba), then they are going to need to donate those patents. I like IBM, I really do, but they are looking out for themselves and their investers. It just so happenes that at the moment, they are betting on open-source.
It might be because they already have an infastructure to handle ip uploads. It may require adding hardware to create a "traditional Cable Telephone Service" and therefore be more expensive then just converting to ip and back.

I wonder how much of this technology could be used in modern JIT compilers. It would be nice to improve the performance of C#, Java, and Small Talk.
It's generally known as the 80/20 rule. 80% takes 20% of the effort, while the other 20% takes 80% of the effort.
The idea is the same though.
That's why my cell phone can vibrate when it rings :-)

Apple might not, but IBM has spent a ton of money on Linux and I doubt they'll let MS lock out either Mac OS (IBM makes the G5s) or Linux.

Go to RIT. FP is in the undergraduate curriculum for CS. They were even thinking of making scheme the programming language taught in CS1.

That or charge a fee to the USPTO each time a patent is overturned in court.

maybe it's just me, but I like having gaim start up when I login.
They can already track credit card usage. How is an RFID based credit card going to be any different?
Wow, I thought you were making a bad pun. I read that line as, "The googles do nothing!!!"
So you think that "scroll down" should be used for zooming out instead of scrolling down?
Now ask those same people for the difference between 275 and 300, and then 2 and 27. I bet those people will have a much easier time with 275 and 300.

Since that day I always wear my helmet.

Does that mean that Open Source(tm) is capitalist?
Everyone does what they do because it benifits them?
Hmmm...I can no longer tell if I'm making a joke or not...
I need to try one of those stickers. Writing "Return to Sender" on my junk mail has gotten my mail man upset at me.
What happens to the people that don't plan, or don't plan well? Social Security was meant to help everyone, not just those with foresight.

And to steal ideas from Xerox is just common sense.
