Wow, you have a very distorted view of the constitution. The president is not all powerfull. He can not do whatever he wants. He can not ignore any law he wants without consequences. There are 3 branches of government for a reason.
Basically, what you're saying is that I can ignore the law and shoot you in the face. That doesn't mean I won't have consequences to deal with afterwards.
I just got the Verizon FiOS(FTTP) and I can say that it DOES matter. Shoot, not only does the bandwidth matter, but the latency. The latency is what makes web pages pop up in fractions of a second. And yes, you can notice the difference between 1sec and.27sec.
Until we are getting 100Mbps service, this conversation is useless.
The eBay seller ID was fearwall so for the hell of it I checked out http://www.fearwall.com/ and of course the first words were "Linux Rulez!!"(same as in the eBay auction body). There's a photo of the kid too!
He has also recently changed his ebay ID to smk778.
The fact that WikiPedia can be used in such a manner, terribly diminishes the worth of WikiPedia's articles.
I dissagree. In this case, wikipedia has done it's job. Someone found an error, in this case, John S., and had it corrected. People can get pissed about an error but all they have to do is register for an account and edit that error out. That's the whole purpose and function of wikipedia.
What if it is fed to you from a central and unblockable IP?
Firewall it.

Clorox is a household chemical so is ammonia, mix them together and you get a dangerous chemical, put it in a shell and lob it at people and it becomes a chemical weapon.
Yes, that is mustard gas. It is a chemical weapon by definition. See the UN definition of chemical weapons.
"Chemical weapons, as defined by the 1969 United Nations report entitled "Chemical and Bacteriological Weapons, and the Effect of Their Possible Use," are chemical agents of warfare taken to be chemical substances, whether gaseous, liquid, or solid, which might be employed because of their direct toxic effect on man, animals, and plants."
While I hate the use of phosphorus bombs on humans, it's not a chemical weapon. And I think the UN should ban it, just like they banned napalm.
Firewalls, are okay, but especially for embedded devices (you'll recall I made a distinction) they are a poor reaction to the problem.
Why for embedded devices? To me, firewalls are better for embedded devices because they are usually harder to update and configure. The firewall allows for a blanket fix instead of having to flash some EPROMs or something of the like, no?
This overreliance on the firewall is disturbing to me, it makes people not fix the real issues. Granted with certain general purpose machines (i.e. your Desktop workstation) this is more difficult than others, but there's no reason why an embedded internet-aware processor can't be very secure with no firewall or NAT fo that matter. If it's not, fix the problem, don't mask it with a firewall.
Well, it's not really overreliance. There may be ports you want open to the local network but not the internet. Like samba file sharing for instance, you would definetly want to access that within your workgroup but you don't want some guy in canada to be able to. Things like firewalls are perfect for this.
This is not even to mention that most firewalls now-adays are more then just a static firewall. They are Intrusion Detection Systems and Intrusion Prevention System that can dynamically react to packet data and traffic flow.
So even if you have a perfectly crafted service sitting on that port, you may still want to keep certain things out of it. For instance, dropping certain source IPs, preventing floods, etc. So because of all this neat stuff, that's why firewalls are talked about most often. They are one of the most powerful tools in the arsenel.
You need to be more specific if you want to distinguish crimes using technology from other property crimes. New laws must do more than simply restate old laws with different words. They should add meaning, not narrow the existing law to only one type of property as yours does.
I was not suggesting a new law, just giving an example of how to write a law regarding such crime as the parent requested.
If SGI go it will mean that large scale SMP is essentially dead, I believe that they're the only people other then IBM doing systems > 64 CPU's at the moment, and IBM don't scale all the way up to 512 CPU's.
Well, no. There are plenty of other companies, they just aren't very well known. You have Unisys, Craig(I think they still exist), Fujitsu, and I'm sure there are others.
What is problematic (both with the Web indexing and Book indexing) is the Google 'cache' - where you can get the content of the web page from Googles cache if the original web page is missing or slow. That is (in my opinion) a breach of the Web page owner's copyright - and would be a breech of the book's copyright too.
Well, no not really. The content is unedited, displayed as-is/was and clearly displays the fact that it's a cache and not to original. They are not taking other's content and rebranding it ignoring the copyright.
Ok, they are strapped for cash... So they can afford a multi-million dollar fiber data storage and computing facility, but they can't spend a couple of grand to protect those millions of investment? I'm sorry, but if you have a world class data center, you can afford to get a decent fire suppression system.
That could be good, or bad. It would be good because we can get a little better wages and hours for the slogs. The sysadmins and the devs that grind away all of their life for these companies could use a boost. At the same time though, it would probably raise the wages of the already high paid techs and engineers that don't really need it.
Then on top of that, I'd say about 30% of people in IT got in it because of the promise of money. So you get greedy people to form a union, you've got a problem.
I would remove technology from the lower levels (maybe through 5th or 6th grade?)
I disagree. I remember in elementary school, we had a couple of really old Apple's. The only thing the students used them for were a few games like Oregon Trail, and Number Munchers, and Word Munchers.
Number and Word Munchers really furthered our understanding of basic math and english. Not to mention that it was fun too.
There is also the potential the MS has finally recognized linux as a competitor. After an honest study is done, they can see where they lack compared to their opposition and then improve that aspect in their own OS. Vista is still in development and I bet they are looking for any kind of input possible.

Your logic is skewed.
Not if it's taking the input from the text box. I don't think he's speaking of revealing the has, but about revealing what was entered.
Well fie on them - Google doesn't own any satellites last I checked.
Actually, google does own a satellite. I believe they got it when they purchased Keyhole.

true mobility. Connected and powered 24/7, anywhere.
I'd rather not have 24/7 power and connectivity if it meant I had to have this conversation:
Bob: Did you pee your pants?
Me: No, it's just my cell phone leaking.
Bob: Oh...

I'm fairly certain there was a story on slashdot a few months back that stated a group of scientists were able to speed up light. Here it is: http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/08/2 0/1440228&from=rss

It's fairly simple. In fact, I think there are similar laws here in the US. You would word the law something like this:
"A person may not purposely hinder the rights of another to use their computers and must not purposely attempt to harm or destroy another's computer."
Then leave the interperetation up to the judge.
