I couldn't disagree more. As the software evolves and the bugs get worse, I can only see the level of frustration increasing. Either the behavior will have changed on purpose or accidentally but either way the AS individual is likely to find this uncomfortable. saying that, regression testing and smoke tests are probably better. Fyi, I know a couple of amazing artists diagnosed who would make awful testers. Individuals are just that I guess.
A quick check on dict.org and it would seem you are correct.

Granted, its only talking about books but 1913! Thats an age before p2p.
I've always hoped that at some point the entire BBC archive would become available. After all, the public did pay for it, didn't they?
Anyway, back to the point. I'm sure in the UK we have the right to record a broadcast onto say vcr and play it back at another time, without a 7 day restriction? Perhaps someone will correct me here...
I think the obligatory quote is from Auguste Kerckhoff's laws in 'La cryptographie militaire' - 'It must not be required to be secret, and it must be able to fall into the hands of the enemy without inconvenience'.
This quote from Kofi Annan seem's relevant - "People lack many things: jobs, shelter, food, Health care and drinkable water. Today, being cut off from basic telecommunications services is a hardship almost as acute as these other deprivations, and may indeed reduce the chances of finding remedies to them."
We used the american election strategy and political advertising campaigns as an example of succesful propoganda techniques in our communications A-level. I think its probably fair to say a vast majority of votes are based on an emotional reaction or just what you/ma and pa voted for last time.
This is being developed at my university (uwe) although we didn't get a mention in the article!:-( Anyway, yeh, they've been working on it for a while. Not sure about 7 but at least around 5 years ago. The original was a slugbot. An article in the guardian in 2000 makes reference to it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4 101493,00.html
Or you could go straight to the lab;-)

And for the guy complaining that solar is better. They do solar too:-)
To be honest, thats not really a suprise and is one of the reasons I've just wiped my windows disk and installed linux.
Perhaps if more people did the same the problems wouldn't be so bad...?
I had the feeling that difficulties in weather prediction were caused by something called chaos, and some other things called 'strange' attractors? And i'm sure there more accurate than your dog! Or have you conducted an experiment?

Shocking, so I'm denied service to a website which denies service. Hmmm, perhaps I'll try another site.
This sounds rather like a 'nanobots may steal your car' type story but hey.
Are you sure?
A quick google search found this -> http://auschwitz.dk/Denmark.htm
seems to tell a different story....

Actually, that was my first thought too. Hmmm...

Security through obscurity indeed!
No, most certainly not, well unless you are a chimera sheep of course. ;-p
I thought they just dropped bombs on anything that looked remotely like a communications centre (and some things which did not).
If this gets me synchronous bandwidth I'm all for it! :-)
On the down side, if it doesn't then if all my peers are using it isn't my isp likely to get a bit overloaded?
Or do they have tonnes of fat wires just hanging around waiting for this data?

I pinched the quote off http://www.bristolwireless.net/.

Hmmmm, Just a few questions...
Why would I need a gun?
Why would I buy wood to build a shack in the mountains? (Of course, unless you live near some hideously deforested mountains.)
And finally, why would a technophobe have a computer?

Yes, look at the lab website. http://www.ias.uwe.ac.uk/
Bleh

If they adapt open source software won't that software remain open source and hence be available for download for the enemy?
indeed, just found that one myself. Complicated stuff, but what does it all mean!? :-o

This device has been in our Saturn store for at least a year! Will check current asking price...
