What about any company whose business is predominantly supported by unhealthy food sales should be liable for unhealthy people that consume that food. Or web sites predominantly supported by unwanted advertising be held liable for unwanted stress by viewers or.... I know they are not the same argument, but I am sorry but P2P related software has a lot of legitimate uses and its crap that they try to shut them down because ppl use it for illegal purposes as well. Ummm guns are used a lot for illegal purposes but they aren't gonna shut down them now are they.
I said "If" the government starts using tax dollars to do this. I would prefer that they don't use tax dollars, but if they do then security is where I would like to see the money spent. (I also would not have qualms "if" the govt. decided to use tax money for software development to spent the money on private sector development of security products to lessen their costs as well)
If the government starts to really push OSS funding from taxes then I would want to see a big push for security-related products. Because broadband/always-on connections are growing there is a real need for free/open-source security solutions for home users who don't really know anything about security and might not be inclined to go out and spend the money on firewalls, anti-virus and etc (and a good advertising campaign for use of freeware security products since there are already many out there, but many people just have no idea they exist or where to find them.... And why we're at it they can also develop an freeware version of VMWare as well please!
Just like Shorthand did... Oh wait nevermind that didn't destroy the language. I say we don't call these people "purists". The word twit comes to mind as a better description. If people expected me to use proper English in a chat room then it would be time for me to disconnect. Its web chatter folks not Shakespear for god's sake. Imagine playing Counter Strike and not using webspeak. You would get shot in the head before you finished typing "Why that was a very humorous comment you made" instead of just LOL!
Where you can re-enact scenes from a list of famous movie and real life stranglers. A built in choke/gurgle track is added, timed perfectly to accent your strangling experience...
Actually if you are contracted through another company on a contract then you fall under their benefits package and pay standards. If the primary company does not have an agreement with the subcontracting company to permanently hire on those personnel after a set time than they are not at fault. So as I said if you are unhappy with your situation then it is not the primary's fault. It is your own because you obviously didn't pay closest enough attention to your contract. I have been working in the contracts world for many years now and I work with people from many different companies and each has its own benefits/pay rates and etc... If you don't like your current situation then fix it by either A) Finding a new job or B) Renegotiating you contract with your company. If you can't do either of these maybe you aren't skilled enough to deserve what you complain about not getting.
So you are telling me that if I hired a contractor via a temp company, outside agency or independent contract that expectations of work for those personnel should be less than actual employees? Give me a break. If these people have an issue with the contract and terms they accepted then it is no ones fault but their own.
For one doing this is one thing, but don't go announcing to the world that you are effectively trying to DOS the spammer because to my knowledge there is still no law in place that allows you to attack back and the company trying to attack back could face legal action. Also isn't a large majority of spam from spoofed addresses using open relays meaning that they are just going to be sending back a bunch of traffic to possibly people that aren't the real senders.
Something to the effect of "Hello and welcome to the Earth. Please ensure you have filled out all necessary documentation and are carrying a valid Earth passport. Aliens that are not in compliance with current Earth visitation regulations will be sent back to planet of origin. Thank you."
Aren't their APIs already available or have they only been given to specific vendors and MS just doesn't want to give them to any new vendors unless they pay a lofty price?
MS should not have to open up their code if they do not want to. If the general public in Europe and the government have issue with this then they don't have to use MS products now do they.

We could use the money we save on scrapping these to help develop Iraq's space program! But seriously there are tons of other programs that the government should cut that are pretty absurd before they even think of scrapping a space program that is truly beneficial?
If the price of songs dropped that drastically I would be inclined to just pay for the music I want instead of trying to keep up with new sites/software as old ones get shut down. And on top of that I would also not have to constantly worry about goofy legal issues as well.
Per Symantec - SymbOS.Commwarrior.A is a worm that replicates on Series 60 phones. It attempts to spread using Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and Bluetooth as a randomly named.sis file.

So how many Lexus's are affected? (OK I dont like Lexus's so from now on multiple Lexus vehicles are referred to as LEXEN!)
Hey our Hacking Contests have been outsourced to India. Seriously though I am kind of wary about this because I don't know what legal implications there may be doing this since I am uneducated in Indian Cyber criminal law? Also the web site looks fairly hinkey (yes its a word and I'll use it!) It would be funny if they posted the IP address at the start of the contest and it turned out to be the IP of some major site or agency....
Glad this guy uses legal terms like "a lot" when he briefs the press. No Mr. Mumper define "a lot." Mumper - "Well it is anything that is more than a little." No he didn't actually say that, but by god its plausible! I think this is a total crap move on the State's part and if they truly do define it (like anyone who sells more than 500 items a year...) then can't people just create a new account at sale number 499 and start over. (Yes it sucks because you have to build up your numbers again, but it would be a way to get around the bill possibly.)
Has anyone heard or seen any information on whether Netscape 8 will have a version to work on the Solaris OS? I have been trying to find info on this, but I haven't seen anything saying they will?
Employees need to watch out that what they are posting in Blogs may be considered Proprietary information, may be considered Libel or may even be insider information. I can understand personnel getting fired for one of the above, but if Joe X is simply writing something to the effect of "I hate working for my company" then that's where administrative action for blogging is probably crossing over the line into a Freedom of Speech issue.
