I discovered today that the reason one of my friends keeps getting bounce messages from my address is that the company I have an account with uses exim's sender verification, and the organisation he uses has graylisting enabled. He sends an e-mail, exim tries to check back, the graylister drops the connection, and exim concludes that the MAIL FROM is forged. Be nice if anti-spam solutions co-operated, wouldn't it?
Not to mention that it's a good habit to get into because it can be sorted lexicographically. (Think ls putting your dated backup tarballs in the correct order, for example).
Installing it may not be hard, but configuring it... I just spent a few hours trying to find a document which explains precisely how web.xml s work, with no success.
That's not the real problem. What if you never knew the key in the first place? You can't prove that you never knew it, and the authorities don't need to prove that you did know it.
Why should you not run the program unless you've agreed to the EULA? AIUI the answer is that in running the program you create a copy of it, which requires licencing from the copyright holder, and the only licence they approve is the EULA.
If EULAs can be enforced after they're agreed then that's due to contract law. However, without copyright it would be clear (rather than, as present, ambiguous) that you wouldn't need to agree to the EULA to use the software.
Replace "open-source" with "most" and the sentence is still correct. Surely software patents are fairly recent even in the US? And how many US software companies have patents relating to each of their products?
I generally keep up-to-date with online news sources, but nearly every time I travel by train I buy a newspaper to read on the train. You can read a paper newspaper while going through a tunnel. I'd go so far as to say that as long as commuting by train remains popular (as it is in the UK, at least: I know plenty of people who commute 50 miles to London each day by train) and most people don't have a laptop with a cheap mobile phone Internet connection there will be a market for hard-copy newspapers.
"The Twenty Top Software People in the World" isn't very specific. The list seems to be mainly language designers, which strikes me as a rather perverse interpretation.
Secondly, can a license take away a person's rights to their own IP?
Under English contract law - and I imagine that US contract law is based on it - it is a requirement that both parties gain something for an agreement to be a contract. This is called "consideration". (The other components required are an offer, acceptance of the offer, and an intent to create a legal relationship).

KDE runs quite happily on my 400MHz machine. Maybe you're a bit short on RAM?

Ah, but I'm more cunning than that. I reckon 48% of the people in my town will do that, so I'm going to go shopping on Wednesday or Thursday.
What a wasted opportunity for a "first against the wall when the revolution comes" joke.

No, that would be the Secret Intelligence Service.
I have sig display disabled because most of the time they just take up bandwidth and time, so I didn't notice it.

Was the "Oh, wait..." as you suddenly remembered that Blunkett resigned yesterday?
Pray? I don't get it. Sure, I'm not a fan of Crichton's books, but they're not that bad!
Immensely useful, I agree.

If you want some real dehydrated water I'm happy to sell you some at a low price...
But where will we get enough petrol?
Shakespeare couldn't make up his mind how to spell his own name, so I'm not sure he's representative of the orthographical trends of his time.

I suggest you check out this Ebay auction. Looks like you could use it.

So what about Martin Richards, who designed BCPL?
