Lingua::EN::Squeeze is a Perl module which compresses English text into a tight, abbreviation-rich scheme for pagers or SMS applications. Looks like it'd take practice to get used to the abbreviations done.
"
For example pagers have an arbitrary text size limit, typically 200 characters, which you want to fill as much as possible."
I really don't see what this will accomplish other that signing unless the recipient already has a public key.
Not much imagination, I suppose.
All e-mails to Corporate Counsel (aka Legal Dept.) should be encrypted for their eyes only; it is privileged by default until otherwise divided.
All e-mails from Engineering in Boise to the contracted Manufacturing firm in Topeka should be encrypted for message privacy, and to limit eyes to those manufacturing agents on the Boise account.
Any e-mail to other known business contacts becomes encrypted likewise. Any e-mail from employees to unknown contacts are left plaintext (hopefully) or flagged as an improper use of business e-mail (often likely).
If it's the individual who wants to protect the data, then the individual should encrypt before it leaves their desk.
If it's the company that wants to protect the data, then the company should encrypt before it leaves the facility.
Two layers with different keys won't hurt anything. And for those who don't put or use pki on their own desks, then one layer is far better than nothing.
From what I understand, there are two factors here which raise the largest problems with avionics.
(1) Unshielded small devices often receive unrelated signals from around them and pass that noise through their own amplifier circuitry, and rebroadcast that noise, only worse. A pair of gadgets could develop a feedback loop making it even worse.
(2) Navigation avionics are trying to find the direction and timing of certain ground signals. Thus, a faint signal from ahead of the nose is now seen as a stronger reflected signal behind the nose. This can confuse the avionics, causing it to dismiss one or more navigation beacons until it settles down. Dismiss too many beacons, and you lose that whole method of navigation.
RIAA has no customers. It has five clients: the big five music labels. RIAA does legal stuff. The labels do the marketing. Take this up with the labels.
Get it straight. The RIAA doesn't care what plays, what maximizes profits, what changes culture. The RIAA cares about "protecting" the copyright powers of its member labels. Saying RIAA as a shorthand for "the music industry" is not only inaccurate, but misleading.
What would you want to bet that Lexis/Nexis just winks and nods at their huge customer, The New York Times, Inc., and waives much of the actual charges that resulted from automated searches on Adrian Lamo. At their prices, there is probably still over $25K worth of manual labor involved... Lexis/Nexis is a premier service with some amazingly in-depth methods.
Plus, the scouring job that's required by NYT's IT department to ensure there aren't any new "easter eggs" in their system will go into significant coin too. I don't agree with the preposterous insurance-claim oriented figures that go into these 'cracking' news stories, but you can't just trust a superficial system cleanup after being cracked.
If anyone's guilty it's the Kazaa for charging the fee for a service they couldn't legally provide.
"But I already have the Internet. It came with my Macintosh.
People don't know what they're spending money for. They quite likely pay for an ISP account, didn't read/understand the fine print, downloaded KaZaA, didn't read/understand the fine print, and started downloading songs. Of course, once downloaded, they became an infringing server.
Okay, India has a GNP/capita of around $400 (compared to USA's $23000). India has its share of dollar-millionaires, but it also has over a billion poor people who contribute virtually nothing to the economy.
I'm thinking it would be more cost-effective and reliable for India to employ two people for every kilometer of track for every hour of the day, every day of the year. If someone notices a problem with the track, they should run to the next guy down the track with the news, who runs to the next guy, and so on.
In rural areas, they should just live in a little hovel next to the track, and marry their evening-shift relief, and raise little baby train-watchers. The trains can just drop off a bag of supplies to any inhabited checkpoint as their form of payment.
A 12-song CD, which I've already heard and know that I LIKE all the songs, should be $10 to $12. That's a good value for supporting the artists, even if most of that money ends up going to middlemen.
A 12-song CD, which I haven't heard or were not songs I'd choose to lump together should be FREE to $1, as it's just shoveled content or a teaser sample.
Its unlikely Hasbro was ever concerned about someone hacking a goofy little kids toy that'll cost 20 bucks come christmas time.
In many cases, the toy industry is second only to black operations national defense contractors, in how tightly they control their technology. If a toy becomes at all popular, they will be dissected and reproduced cheaper by a knock-off company. So they often obfuscate and epoxy as much as possible about the design.
In this case, it is the lucrative accessories market they're ceding by not protecting their design carefully enough... a big surprise.
The RIAA is going to say that they're "immune to the Fourth Amendment" for search and seizure. As far as that goes, they are correct. They are not the government, and they are not limited by those same restrictions.
However, the Congress, in passing the DMCA, should be found in violation of the Fourth Amendment, because they have authorized non-governmental agents (such as the RIAA) to do an end-run on those restrictions for the purposes of criminal investigations. If the Justice Department cannot search those things, and the Congress cannot search those things, then they cannot accept any such evidence brought to them.
This is not a court accepting two private entities' discovery motions for a civil action. This is a court faced with criminal charge as raised by the government, brought by a private entity against another private entity. The accuser is not filing civil suit, but is directly associated with the government as a witness on a criminal felony charge.
Cops cannot search the home of a suspected bank robber, even after seeing the suspected robber on the bank cameras, without the due process of requesting a warrant from a judge on the available evidence and reasonable suspicion. This is on the government's affidavit that the evidence is accepted and accounted. If the evidence is in error, or manipulated, the government must answer to that with wrongful search or wrongful arrest.
In the DMCA case at hand, a wrongfully accused "robber" has no affidavit of the government on the evidence. This uses and abuses the power of the government without the impetus of the government's own agents. The government is forced to bring criminal charges and subpoena discovery on the benefit of no evidence, with no oversight, with no accountability, in fact, with no at all, just because the RIAA mentions the phrase "DMCA" in a letter to a third party like an ISP.
While RIAA is immune to the Fourth Amendment, Congress is not. The DMCA is Unconstitutional on these grounds, as the government becomes RIAA's agent without offering the citizen any due process, in check of those powers.
I teleported home one night,
With Ron, and Sid, and Meg.
Ron stole Meggie's heart away,
And I got Sidney's leg.
Take me apart, take me apart, what a way to roam.
But if you have to take me apart, I'd rather stay at home.

At 1 in 909,000, you're still much more likely to be hit by an asteroid than you are to win PowerBall.
Actually, that's 909000:1 against the probability that the planet on which you live will be hit by an asteroid; there's a 1:1 probability that you live on the same planet as the next dozen PowerBall winners.
I can imagine that tilting the phone would be quite annoying in many lighting conditions. I tend to hold an electronic device in the rare position which doesn't produce glare or reflections, yet fits within a useful reading angle.
I'll just use the distro build which is packaged properly. That's not to say I'm not excited by the new features, etc., but I've long ago decided my life should not be spent compiling and tweaking things in which I have no particular expertise or passion. Those with expertise and passion are going to do a better job.
It's all nice and good that people are rebutting SCO's wild (and daily) claims, but why are they all filled with the same spittle-fringed invective and circus atmosphere? I could understand phrases like 'smoking crack' and 'drinking kool-aid', I could expect droll movie references, I could predict overzealous bravado from the pages of Slashdot. But why are these child-like protests included in the official "open letters" being sent to mainstream press and directly to SCO's offices?
It embarasses me when I see the "luminaries" of the Open Source (and Free Software yadda) communities begging for attention with such antics. It just entrenches the world's view that all Linux users are immature, unwashed hacker bumpkins with Luke Skywalker style gadget belts, a DeCSS t-shirt, and a security-cracking Zaurus in hand.
IBM is the role-model here, as well as the champion of our battle. IBM has successfully married pin-stripes and rack-mounts. While we're not "passing our statements through IBM" and IBM isn't "orchestrating" our feedback, they surely could teach us something about effective and professional resistance to the legal challenges brought against Linux.
Yeah, I wasn't saying I'd use one directly, but more as a trend in available equipement. You'd want SOME warm body light in there, but not the insane 500W+ small light setups you see now.
Ever since I was a little kid in the late 70s, you could walk to Radio Shack and buy a dual LED, where red and green diodes were chambered in one "bulb" with two leads. The pinouts were reversed. You could put +V for red, -V for green. The little booklets of electronics projects all point out that since they're diodes, you can apply AC or a properly offset square wave to get yellow. They even show you how to adjust the square wave duty cycles to get different shades in between. This is all obvious and explored.

No, I'm mostly Irish by descent. The Tata worker I deal with regularly is Dutch. Others in my group are typical American mutt.
I also work with people from Tata, and they do employ American citizens, to fill much the same sort of job responsibilities that my firm does.
I have 80GB of memory.
My computer came with the Internet.
I spent $29.95 a month for KaZaA.
The vast majority of the public has no idea why these statements are technically wrong. The fee was probably for an ISP.

If it's non-negotiable and mandatory, it's a fee and not a deposit. Sue in small-claims court if required.
