I'm afraid that paper (or transparencies in your proposal) fall under the new DPA which, I believe, is currently in the 'phasing-in' point, but will apply fully soon.

Zonealarm appears to use the path to the exe, its name, its size and its version/file date.
Fairly foolproof, but still spoofable, if you were really determinied, I'd guess.
It also keeps fairly useful logs. By using the IPs listed, I have found that I had portscan attempts (port access denied of course - stealth if earlier tests were correct) from IPs 208.184.172.175 to 208.184.172.185 on ports 1333 to 1533 while I've been logged on this evening. And I've hung up and redialed in order to obtain another IP, so I presume it's some sort of wide search...
Anyone got any idea what they may be trying for on those ports (if anything specific), or if it is a false alarm (although it is unusual...)
Excuse me - whoever flagged this as flamebait should look again. Yes this person is steaming a bit, even smouldering, but read between the lines. They are making an interesting point that some people are going security mad.

I'm not a lawer, but I have an awareness of the cases.
Basically the law was not set by Goverment, but through case law as a result of the Godfrey/Demon case. For a while UK ISPs have been insisting they are more like telcom carriers, who can't be held responsible for content transmitted over their lines, as opposed to publishers who are responsible for what they print.
As for US law, I'm suprised this hasn't already happened over there given the apparent litigation-happy attitude, or maybe it has happened.
Provided you indicate your source (and it's usually best to ask them first anyway) then it may be copyright infringement (depending on the country) but not plagairism.
My site is not IE compatible because of Layers. Not because I meant it to be, but because IE5 does not support them (at least with the syntax I've used).
Having used Netscape which, while previously did add non-standard HTML extensions, did usually impliement the full standards as well, I had not been aware that most Win98 users (or people who have signed up with one of the UK Free ISP's) would see my page in a somewhat screwed up manner. As a result of this I am rewriting it to provide it in tables for non layer browsers.

But the advantage of Open Source is that someone can write a 'fix' within hours of the new non-compatible release...
Slightly off subject, but because of regular changes, shouldn't Mozilla check for new versions and offer to update itself (I haven't used it though, so maybe it does?)
I tend to listen to easy listening (Clannad/Enya) or synthesizer music. I find synth. or something with a strong rhythm best for debuging, but softer stuff when I'm trying to think out the design of a procedure.
I know the feeling. At our uni Netscape is the default browser setup. Slashdot will occasionally crash it (with about 3/4 windows open). I generally prefer Netscape to IE for reasons of security, but apparently IE 5 has the option to run each window as a seperate thread/process, which means only one window goes.
I can't see why Netscape hasn't done the same. Still, apart from the loss of hyperlinks and crashes, I still use it as my main browser.
I've just been point to a URL by a friend: http://www.fontfreak.com It has fonts in.zip format, but none of them is fonts found as standard in Windows. Maybe a friend running windows could extract it for you?
Currently (99-5-4) there is a case going on in the UK involving Demon internet and a physicist who had a defamatory message posted on its news server. If Demon loses, it will affect all ISP's in the UK and would mean that LucasFilm could easily get it's request for removal of unofficial Star Wars files enforced here.
I was thinking the same - introduce a chip with an ID, then become an ISP - coincidence? Then again, Intel isn't the only company gathering lots of info on customers/web site visitors/subscribers etc.
I posted the above reply and filled in the 'login' box above the reply. In Preview it confirmed the poster as me - Firefalcon. Yet it has posted it as an AC. What happened?
Slashdot Mirror
1 Euro is in fact worth only slightly less than a dollar ;-)
1.00 European euros = 0.94 US dollars
1.00 US dollars = 1.07 European euros
1.00 European euros = 0.63 British pounds sterling
1.00 British pounds sterling = 1.60 European euros

Sorry, could we have a translation?

Think before you moderate...
Just so ppl know - the above link is NOT a press release. Please just ignore it and maybe it will go away...

Not strictly true. Recent articles on the subject has suggected non-UK ISPs could still potentially be sued under UK law as described at:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_7040

They plan to release proper 800 MHz and 1 GHz chips in or around 2000.

http://www.fontfreak.com
It has fonts in
Rather than download a self-extracting exe, you can FTP and get loads in .ttf or .fon format. See http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/ and search for "Fonts".
I downloaded 1,500 fonts from somewhere on that list (I think that was my search term...)
