But the most popular download these days isn't Kazaa, it is Adaware. http://download.com.com/3101-2001-0-1.html?tag=pop Spybot is No. 3 in the rankings.
They say that the date today is 5/14/2004 rather than 14/5/2004. This example I can almost cope with, as 14 is not a valid value for the month. Sometimes it isn't so easy.
Of course, most of the time in England, we type the date as 14 May 2004, so there can be no possible confusion.
The old dot matrix printers with continuous paper with the holes down the side used to use Letter sized paper.
You get it on correspondence from America (complete with the date typed back to front) and sometimes Word / oo.ow will try to print to it if you forget to change the defaults.
If you are sitting in a room in the US sending illegal spam, then you are sitting in a room in the US sending illegal spam whether you are controlling an open proxy in the US, in China or anywhere else in the world.
If you are sitting in a room in the US sending illegal spam, then you can be prosecuted in the US for sitting in a room sending illegal spam.
Of course if you start breaking into computers in other countries, the governments in those other contries might want to prosecute you for committing offences in their country as well. This doesn't make what you are doing in the US any less illegal.
Sharman say it is not their network. They say that they only supply the software.
That is why they are allowed to continue in business, and that is why they are not liable for any copyright infringement that takes place on the network.
The only possible basis therefore for preventing other people from writing software that can connect to the same third party networks that their software connects to is patent infringement.
No it wouldn't. If you copy someone's code without their permission, then you are copying it without their permission whether it is included with code licenced under the GPL or otherwise.
Only the copyright holder can choose to licence their code under the GPL. Nobody else can make that choice for them.
news.bbc.co.uk is not going to be slashdotted. It is the most popular news site in Britain, and in the top 10 in the US - ie it gets a lot more hits than/.
If it was interstate trade within the EU, it would be Alabama.
If it was international trade involving the EU, it would be Texas. However, they could by concession, use the billing address of your credit card as the place of supply, so it would be presumably Colorado.
I don't know about the US. But the EU has VAT on internet purchases, and people in the rest of the world are required to comply with it, on pain of a yet to be decided penalty.
Some of the big companies such as AOL are complying with it, but I doubt you are going to get many porn sites worrying about it.
A US version of the EU's E-commerce VAT directive would probably work for interstate trade in the US, and the EU would probably be receptive to some sort agreement to enforce Sales Tax within the EU in return for the US agreeing to enforce VAT in the US.
Returning to your point, I guess all your internet purchases will be recorded on your credit card statements. Your tax authorities may well ask to see them.
The other type of ad that does well is classified advertising. For example, recruitment sites, estate agents, autotrader moneysupermarket and so on.
These ads are sucessful because the advert is the content of the site, and they are displayed to people who are actually interested in what they are advertising.
And by publishing your inventions at this stage, you have just invalidated your patents.
The law is a bit different here you see.
Campaign contributions aren't such a big thing in the EU. There is a maximum limit on what candidates are allowed to spend in an election

They say that the patent plans have been shelved indefinately. Who is right?

What's the highest source of traffic through tcp/ip? P2P by a very large margin. People don't go for ultra-fast broadband to download email.
I block anything that contains the Habeas header as I've never received a legit email with it, and regularly get spam containing it.

That's the argument that won the case for the alleged infringers in Canada.
It's not difficult to find a spammer. Just follow the money.
I realise the average slashdotter can't do this with traceroute and whois, but it should be no problem for the Feds.
Absolutely. Even Clippy doesn't deserve to be subjected to spammers all day long.
That only works if the business *has* costomers who could withhold their business.
By not buying SCO OpenUnix, I'm doing exactly what I would have done anyway, so Darl isn't going to notice.

It's OK if you get the $1.6m as cleared funds in the bank before you ship the goods.
In the UK, you pay normal phone rates to use BT Typetalk, and if you can show you are disabled, you get a rebate on the bill.
The Nigerian Scammers wouldn't be able to show that they were genuinely disabled, so they would end up paying lots of money on their phone bills.

I believe the correct spelling is Freenet.

Money making for the relay operators - yes. For the people who pay the relay operators their $3m per day, probably not.
Your boyfriend would register his phone number so that he could receive calls from people like you.
The password thing would be for his outgoing calls.
NTFS supports symlinks. The only problem is that there isn't anything in Windows to create them, so you need third party software.
