Yeah, but the satellite photos are only the low detail images when your zoomed out. Anything you can see a car or small building on is going to be an aerial photo. I believe that a lot of the Satellite images used are from the Landsat Program - check out their website to see the level of detail
Hmm, well, it was last year. A (supposedly) leaked document from within the Computing Department made it's rounds between students. It detailed the methods used in detecting plagarism, and the URL is gave for JPlag was blocked.
Yeah, but Lancaster Uni RESNET blocks access to some sites like the one for LUSerNet (lan based P2P software used on campus), and the site for Plagarism Detection software such as JPlag.
Darwinia already has multiplayer code in it, and the basis for the Defcon multiplayer was cannibilised from Darwinia. Developer Chris Delay has stated in an interview that the problem with multiplayer in Darwinia isn't technical, it's purely a gameplay issue - they're working on trying to make Darwinia fun to play multiplayer.
The Linux beta testing should start in the next couple of months, and the Mac version at some point in the future. Unfortunatly, this is the first IV game that's Windows only on release. See the roadmap for more details.
You can buy it by mail order from the Introversion site aswell, and there is a possibility it'll be in shops at a later date (Darwinia's US retail release was a lng time after game release)
I'd say this is less clear cut than the original Napster. Despite what people claim about 'only some people used it to violate copyright', a good 90-odd% of file transfers on Napster was unauthorised copyright copying (statistic purely based on anecdotal evidence, bite me). Youtube is a lot less clear - granted a lot of stuff on there is clips from TV shows and films, music videos and stuff, but there is a LOT of original content on there (mostly unwatchable garbage, people thinking they're good on a skateboard and whatnot). Of course, it becomes hazy when people use copyrighted sound tracks to their original creation but still - I think we can all agree that a significant % of YouTube users are using it for none-copyright-violating purposes.
That's OK, provided you don't live in a country governed by a facist regime. In the UK, failure to disclose encryption keys to the police upon request can land you in prison, regardless of whether or not you've committed any other crimes.
Yeah, except that anyone in the area with a little knowhow and a WiFi enabled laptop can read any unencrypted information you're transferring (which, in a lot of cases can include passwords). Most anonymising services have built in encryption.
Plus, using someone elses WiFi without permission is a grey area legally.
Even with BSOD enabled, I've only seen it in XP a handful of times, usually when something goes wrong with my graphics card. Compare this to Windows ME, when I'd see them upwards of 10 times a week (and for some people, 10 times a day). WinXP is a pretty stable OS, all things considered, very few errors require a system restart.
No. The whole point of Tor is that it uses multiple relay servers, and incremential encryption, meaning that the route of the packet can't be traced from any one machine.
So if you aren't trading child porn, you are fine. Are you worried?
But the people who had their equipment seized WEREN'T trading child porn (or at least, they've not been arrested or charged with that). They were just running a Tor node, which is perfectly legal, and something I do. So yes, I am worried.
how the f*k are we supposed to know what is considered 'inaccessible' - ie worthy of being sued over - without some specific, clearly defined guidelines.

I'm pretty sure the Revelation virus is based on this exploit. Better install Faith, before they get taken over by Symantec.

You are aware that most Google Earth images are from aerial photographs and not orbiting satellites?
Bad example. Not only does JK Rowling's site provide a none flash alternative to all the content on the page, but the flash designers had accessability in mind. Check out http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online /6090418.stm

Just another reason why Tor should stay up
The Wikimedia foundation blocks Tor nodes, at least from editing (for understandable, if not agreeable reasons).
No. The whole point of Tor is that it uses multiple relay servers, and incremential encryption, meaning that the route of the packet can't be traced from any one machine.
