We have these in Japan for a while, and if it's the same, it's a debit card. You can use your phone to transfer money from your credit card (!) to your phone or you can use ATMs to put money in it.
My phone is capable of that, but I never used. Some convenience stores, video rentals and even Coca-Cola vending machines are planned to be payable using Felica mainly next year, but I still don't see many shops around me where I can use that.
Not disappearing, but where I live (Osaka) the nearby schools have about 1 incident in every two or three months of an elementary school child being taken away by car and touched... they don't give much details on those, but you can figure what happens. Most people that can afford, move out of the area (even in Osaka, some areas are safer) before the child goes to elementary school.
My wife has been followed by someone a few times, but after she noticed the guy he went away. Another time, in the park, a guy took off his pants and then run away. A friend of my wife had sperm put on her head while walking on the street.
The college is thinking MONEY. How much money cost them by dealing with worm-infected computers in the last years? How much money will cost them doing this proactive approach?
If you want to convince them that there is a risk of a malicious user might break the central system, you have to give them numbers. How many users have compromised central systems in the last years? How much did it cost to the central system owners? If you can't find actual numbers, it is not a valid argument. As is pointed out in another thread, the college might have some liability problems, but IANAL and can't comment on the matter.
If you can't give them actual data, the risk for them is neglectable.
The article in japanese says that that's one of the reasons that guns are illegal in japan: can only be used to kill people. 47 wrote the software, and according to the comments on 2ch the police decided that the motives behind writing Winny were purely copyright infringement, so it is not considered as a knife which can be used for good means, but as a weapon which can only be used for crimes.
The system is not completely automatic. so the driver still has to control the brakes. There is too much risk involved in making a completely automatic parking. What if a kid run to catch a ball behind the car? Toyota for sure doesn't wat to be liable on these cases.
the tecnology itself not, but the way they made it cheaper and avaliable to the mass market, is very innovative. Can you say that P2P is not new because Usenet used P2P?
I don't know much about the companies, but it looks like A.L.Digital Inc and The Bunker audited openssl in july 2002. Being the same version, this exploit looks like veery bad publicity for them.

You don't get a dedicated line for that price, you only get a shared line. In the case of the cheapest one, 10Mbps for $100, which is for buildings, you can share with at most 100+ other people. WOW! Imagine you living in an area of/.ers; you'd get 100Kbps for $100. Is that cheap?? You also have the minimum of 10 users in the building in this case.
If you use open source, you have to give the source away. At first glance, "it's Free!". But then, when you modify the source, you have to give it to everyone else.
I would say it's a "catch" that Stallman put in the GPL; you don't pay now, you pay later with code.
But... if you think harder, you actually don't have to give the source away. It's not like I patch a program here and then I have to send an email to freshmeat saying "Hey! I patched xmms so it doesn't take much memory! It doesn't even have a display now!" You can keep it, you don't have to tell anybody.

Stallman should have patented the Open Source idea and take money from Sun and Microsoft. We would be rich by now (rich in code, bought with the money:)
Now I remember a good explanation for
this... people who don't like something
tend to tell it to everyone else, but
people who like it don't tell everyone.
So what you get is bad publicity when a
few people don't like you. Like when
you see someone drinking Coke, you say
"How can you drink that? It tastes like shit"
but if you acutally like Coke you don't
go and tell everyone "Coke is very tasty!"
So you better try not to make haters and
please everyone, at least on places where
you can benchmark (computers).
It can only be good if people have the option to have the same GUI all around, everywhere.
Look around you. Do your remote controls look all the same? Do all the
locks on doors look the same? Do monitors have the same interface for
changing "aspect ration" and stuff? Even on the Internet the web pages
don't look the same. If people should have the same GUI all around,
just make a standard. But look around, and see which devices have the
same UI. Telephones? Maybe. I guess you can't write an email with my
cellular phone.
People shouldn't think the windows UI is the best and standard, and all
the others are crap. People should know that, as in real life, computers
also have different interfaces, and you should adapt yourself like when
you buy a new TV, CD player, car, etc.

You have the OBLIGATION to distribute source code with the binary.
And you can't give up an obligation, can you?
