it seem slike about half of this is ripped from a post on adaquecy from a few weeks back, and the rest ripped from other troll posts on slashdot. i'll bet this troll didnt expect to get modded up.
a few months back i decided i wanted to setup something similar. i wasnt after an email client that encrypted mailboxes, i wanted an encrypted backup of all email i recived. how i did this was edit my alias file for sendmail to send my mail to a perl script that appends stdin to my mbox, and sends it through a gpg and then to a seperate backup file. so it gets written to 2 places, one unecrypted for immediate viewing, and the other encrypted for long term archiving. if you want my script i can polish it up and send it to you, though you will proably have to modify it at least a little because parts of it are specific to my system.
no, he means nothing like that. thta link describes how to use an irda or rs232 port as a remote controll for a tv. he wants a 2 way wireless link that encapsulates rs232.
the farmer is question is percy schmeiser, there are a lot of good articles online about his case, there is a particulary good(though biased) article on the mother jones website.
working at a radio station wouldnt do to much good, an antenna meant for 100mhz wont be to effective at 3ghz(i think most satelites use uplinks in this range), an antenna meant for 1mhz would be even less efective. satelite communications are done with incredibly directional antennas(uasualy dishes), most fm broadcast stations use omnidirectional antennas, and even the ones that do use directional antennas arent directional enough, and they arent pointed up, they are pointed toward there target audiance, which is on the ground. Most people who work at a radio station would proabyl also have a hard time comming up with the the 3ghz transmitter that they would need.

it all depends on the scale. doing something on one computer isnt a big deal, doing it on 1 million computers is. thats why you see reports in the news when there is a big security whole in windows, but not when joe linux user sets up a firewall on his home box and it still gets hacked. installing something in an airport, even just in one airport, is doing it op a large scale, thousdands of people pass through an airport on a dailly basis.
from what i understand it is still sharing, other people pay napster to download files from you, that you are paying to share. it seems fairly rediculous to me. it is the same type of thing as pressplay and the other record company proposed systems, except that unlike the others the files are stored on users drives, not on a central server. the distribution is still controlled.
umm, no it isnt. the eff doesnt have all to much to do with free software. you proably mean the fsf. actually, you proably dont mean either. and the whole point of the free software is movement is software that is libre(free as in speech), not gratis, though the two go together.
one reason that could fail is if the client uses one of these proxies that arer supposed to increase security. alot of them have modes to block things that look like session keys.
with my att@home, i was frequently getting 450-500 kB/s from kernel.org, now with attbi i get at max 200kB/s, i was consistently hitting the cap, both with the old, and the new service. and with the new service i hit that cap far more frequently.
i suggest you make a post to slashdot about how the violated there privacy statement, it should generate lots of negative PR for them, and cost them some cash for the extra bandwidth for their server from the slashdotting. If you cant get the story on the main page, try submitting something about it to askSlashdot, it wont be seen by as many people, but will still be seen by a large amount.
using a client IP as a session key is a horrible way to do session managment, very bad idea. generate a random(but unique) key to use, try to set it as a cookie, if that fails, append it to the url. if that fails, you have a few options, have a failsafe version of the site that works without session managment, or you can present the user an error message, or you can fall back to using the ip, the most common choice seems to be to present an error message saying something to the ffect of "for this site to work properly you must enable cookies in your web browser. this can be done by doing xyz in your browser.
Most web app enviroments provide this functionality either built in, or through a library, php and perl both do, and im fairly sure IIS/asp does.
this is one of those problems that has been solved a thousand times before, and chances are, someone else has done a better job of solving it than you will on your first try.
you seem to be misundertsanding one of the key things about free(libre) software, and these other new free media liscenses that work to the same effect. When you create a creatibve work, you are automatically assigned the copyright to that work. Having this copyright allows you to controll how your work is distributed. It allows you the right to choose to place it under the GPL, and because you hold the copyright on that work someone else cannot just take it and decide to distribute it under some other liscense. Copyleft is not the opposite of copyright. Public Domain is approxemitly the opposite of copyright.
i sounds to me like a valid claim. do you think red hat would just sit on there arses if microsoft released "wed hat winux", no, they would be filling a law suit over traid mark infingement.
for cdpd, you are beter off going with at&t mobile data, many of the other companies buy there service from them, so if you buy direct you can get better price. and their tech support kicks ass.
2 years back i heard someone(i belive it was bruse schneir), say that the NSA or los alamos had built a quanum computer, and it could factor the number 7, down to 1 and 7, not to hard. but still an impressive feat.
Most of hte photos on terraserver are more than 5 years old, some are 10 years old, a lot of them are black and white, i think the highest resolution they have is 1m, and most of the immages arent at that res.

its a lack of one.
and more importantly, where is the brainf*ck plugin?

stop trolling.
sounds more like a night you wont easily remember.
konqueror also supports this, though it seems to work less than well.
or perhaps they both use systran on the back end?

i dont see what you mean, it sounds like your browser has a problem.
wow, overriding default ttl with an insanely long value, that is such a bad idea it is not even funny.

winamp? is that an error, or do you realy do something like run winamp in wine?
