Except that the keys are redone automatically every few seconds. But yes, with proper logging from an undercover cop this is no use. That's not what it's designed for. What if you're a customer and I'm an arms dealer? Even if you've been logging, that's not really worth anything as testimony as you could have faked your log. So when the cops bust you with an illegal weapon, and you tell them I sold it to you and let them look at your computer, you've got no evidence against me. I think that's the situation in which this is useful.
With a standard. "You can use ports 0-100 freely, but only any ports above that if you have explicit permission". If that was a standard, it could work.
And if there were a lot of ten year olds being killed and disposed of, you'd expect pro life people to come out in favour of allowing their bodies to be used for research?
I don't happen to believe in the soul as it appears in most religions, but I fail to see how a successful cloning experiment completely disproves the idea that helps countless millions cope with their lives.
It doesn't completely disprove it, however it makes the idea of a soul which is implanted at conception less defensible - are you going to say clones don't have souls? And why do you say the idea of a soul helps millions cope with their lives? It sets the public against sensible treatment for criminals, leading to more crime and suffering for everyone. It may be a comforting idea, but it's ultimately a damaging thing, and just because it's comforting doesn't make it good or right (cf heroin).
Water does a few important things - it's liquid across a wide temperature range, and allows lots of reactions to take place in it - and one very rare one, it's denser when liquid than solid. We're not sure if that last is essential to life, but it might be, in which case there are no alternatives to water. And even if it isn't, there are still very few substances that would be liquid all year round on a planet, something that we're pretty sure life needs.
So make a distro that sets this up on a default install. "No, I don't know or care whether my swap is encrypted, I just installed the OS". That's plausible deniability wrt encrypting your swap.
I'd imagine it's set up so you automatically give the key to the person you were corresponding with. So there's every possibility they could have written the message (supposedly from you) themselves.
All people want to live in peace. Hostility does not appear out of thin air. Respect others, and they will respect you. Nobody wants violence. Do you think these are crazy ideas?
I didn't used to, but having played Civilisation I do. I find that I quite often invade peaceful countries simply to get their land, coal etc. Maybe this makes me a psychopath, but if that's so then from multiplayer games I know there are an awful lot of us, and some of us are going to be in power in countries. People are selfish, no matter what you say, and if they can take something then they will. It's wishful thinking to pretend otherwise. Yes it's not "real" in a game, but a politician sitting in office usually doesn't experience any actual warfare either. So even the peaceful need a military to protect them.
Methinks you don't understand. There don't need to be servers on the blimp. All the blimp needs to do is echo signals from the base station across the coverage area, and from the coverage area back to the base station. That's all. The equipment to do this can quite easily last for 20 years and be efficient enough after all of them. The routing etc. all takes place at the base station.
2. Now that these bugs have been identified, should these bugs be fixed would that mean that Linux itsself could truthfully be classified as "bug-free" or am I missing something?
Someone above said that after an audit like this you assume there are 5x as many bugs as you found remaining.

Gah, replying for the third time, but: YES,.NET INCLUDES PERL! If you have the activestate perl installed when you install.net, it will set things up so you can use perl with.net. Then you can compile the perl to CLR and use it on this CPU. So go and buy it.

Sorry to reply twice, but according to wikipedia there is a Perl.net compiler, so you can run your perl directly on this cpu. Can't find a link though.

If it supports CLR, it supports python via the IronPython project. If that works there's no reason you couldn't do the same for perl.
No, the bandwidth won't be limited, true it will be the lowest of those 100 hops, but wait, there are multiple paths from NY to california and the one you use will be the fastest one, so it will even out. Since there are no wireless standards with <11mbps bandwidth, it should be 11mbps all the way, as there is usually at least one 11mbps path between any two nodes. As for routing, nodes just need to know the general direction to route in. Intelligent routing algorithms are a problem, yes, but with sensible IP allocation it should be easier. Make the first two bytes of a node's IP address have to be its lattitude and longitude. Then each node just needs to know "3>24||67>IP>>24? send east: send west, 46>16&127||110>IP>>16&127? send north: send south". That simple an algorithm and you'll only ever be going root 2 times as far as you need to, which is not too much overhead.
If the extensions are all built to W3C standards then all browsers should support them. There's a place there for people to oppose new standards if they have a good enough reason to, and I can make a new browser which implements all the approved standards more or less any way, since the standards are written to (try to, it doesn't always work but it's the closest we've got) be implementable without having to have your browser architecture work in a particular way. I'm not sure what you're trying to say with your final paragraph, but if there are 3 browsers that mostly support the W3C standards but each support their own extensions, then plugins will mostly be written to the standards, and thus work in new browsers, even those done in an obscure way.
I think the long term buffering thing is the way to go. Have everyone limited to 10 outgoing connections, or less by upstream bandwidth. First ten people to click the link get direct connections, next 100 people get referred to those 10, next 1000 get those 100. Maybe have everyone connect to three others, but two of them only send rsync-like checksums unless the connection gets dropped, at which point you switch to one of the people you were getting checksums from and add a new checksum host. In fact this could be done with actual rsync on each block. You'd need a fairly big buffer so you don't have a break when you lose a connection, but you're needing a big buffer anyway, so it ought to work.
Fancy having a go at implementing it? I do Python, C, and bad Java.
Oh for goodness sake, have they never heard of avi preview? Just download about 30mb and run that, or just use mplayer on the partial file, then you can see if it's what you think it is.
I hate to say this, but at the moment minimo is nowhere near being able to compete with opera. Opera is really, really nice on embedded devices, and I can't see it being replaced on any but the cheapest devices any time soon.

It's a minor timesaver, like the autocompletion in OOo.

I don't. I'm just using that as an example to make the point that whether or not you should do something does not depend on whether it's legal.
Yeah. And Nelson Mandela was wrong to disobey the apartheid laws.
A bad law is a bad thing, and civil disobedience is one way to protest it.
