And if format of the stored data can be reverse-engineered (e.g. by decompiling the reader code), the decryption process becomes that much easier.
So you're saying that this is really a clandestine way for the aviation industry to export their previously illegal-to-export superstrength encryption schemes to their subsidiaries and business partners across the water?
Within Doc's context, however, he was making a valid point.
As for the smaller aviation industry, Doc's jibe is still perfectly valid. It was a jibe against the federal government, and it's the federal regulations controlled by federal politicians and influencing the opinions of federal judges which allows the liability lawsuits to decimate any company which may have a chance at competing with the big aviation industry.
So, next time, be more polite and consider what the other person is saying before you drop a ton of poop on them.
Absolutely. It has always been and always will be the responsibility of the merchant to look after their supply, demand, and distribution chains. If a particular merchant thinks they have a right to profit by plunking their wares down in the middle of the market, not screening their customers, and selling an easily copied product to any 8-year old with $15... then good riddance to them when they go out of business.
This is the real world. No one else gets a break. Dumbass merchants shouldn't either.
Do you realise this would mean the end of the entire entertainment industry?
You're repropagating the biggest line of BS ever written.
If/. had a pay to moderate system, coupled with the ability to filter posts in both ascending and descending order, one could get two viewpoints on every discussion.
I doubt that economics would line up with intellect, however.
Maybe this idea is too radical for everyone. Perhaps it's too fair to be realistic in the kind of society we have today. Perhaps it would cost too many people their egos.
Stallman doesn't want to put the software industry out of business. What he wants is to stop people from stealing another's code and selling it. Under the RMS system, you can steal my code and sell it at $500/seat, but once people find out that you stole my code, they can come back to me and get it for the price I charge (which is usually $498/seat). If you don't like my price, then you can go to the next person down the line, who wrote a patch for it, and get the source code for my code and their patch for $496. And... if you really don't like that, then you can wait for the next iteration.
What part of fair competition is alien to you?
Oh wait. You're a product of American public schooling, aren't you?
Okay. Justify to me why I would want to pay you for your half-assed code when someone else, who is independently well-off, offers the same functionality as a community service?
Um. No. Taxpayers voting for the lesser of two evils on a ballot is not the same as that lesser of two evils voting for whatever pet program puts profits in their pocket.
You've fallen prey to the American fallacy. Enjoy.
This is precisely why I stay away from P2P software and use bitlbee for my IM handling.
I simply do not trust that the corporate authors of these infinitely connected clients are also exhaustively pedantic about fireproofing their code. As real truth would have it, OSS clients have historically been more resilient than their commercial counterparts.
The tin foil side of me thinks that the corporations actually like having security holes in their clients. <conjecture> The head of the MS Messenger department has this brother who married this girl whose younger brother owns stock in this company which specializes in "desktop advertising". </conjecture> Not saying that it was on purpose, but somehow that project absolutely had to be shipped by $DATE, even though the security audit wasn't quite complete. Coincidence? Probably.
(NOTE: This is a repost because there are crack-whore trolls with mod points that modded the first one flamebait, the second one redundant, and the third one finally received some semblance of a human response... WTF? Hey mod-trolls... QUIT STALKING ME!)

Don't listen to the people who advise shredding. They own stock in companies that mould the cases for the most popular shredders. The vast majority of identity thieves are NOT rooting through your garbage.
When I moved to my current address, I noticed an idiosyncracy with my proper address. The proper address is "335K Rosemary Lane". So, to run a security audit, I gave my banks and my insurance company the address of "335 Rosemary Lane Apt K". I use my proper address "335K" for most everything else, including online purchases, my driver's license, and my tax return. Anyone who obtains my address through legitimate (postal or state) means should be sending it to "335K". If it is the online merchants giving out my data then the junk will come to "335K".
Wouldn't you know... it was less than a month after I moved in that I was receiving junk mail at "335 Rosemary Lane Apt K"?
Who do you think the real identity thieves are?
It's the very banks and insurance companies who hold up their privacy agreements high for everyone to see.

Proof? And, to counter, employees of McDonald's can be fired. Personally, I'd rather take a one-time beating than try to tell my landlord,"Sorry, you'll have to evict me because I can't pay you this month." Everyone takes a beating once in a while. If you've never had one, then you're probably a spoiled yuppie brat.
They were forced to work in fields in the hot sun.
Quit whining. Do you think crops grow themselves? Who do you think tends the fields for the vegetables you serve at dinner?
It was infested with disease and flea carrying rodents
Proof? Additionally, I doubt this was as terrible as you make it out to be. Again, it's not a good idea to have people living in your house and land who are so degraded they're willing to knife you in the back. Everyone sleeps sometimes.
The copyright holder C is not Constitutionally recognized and is an abomination. All laws which recognize the copyright holder C are unconstitutional and should be removed from the books. The State or Local governments are free to recognize copyright holder C (if permitted in their respective charters), but the Federal Government should say,"Case dismissed" whenever copyright holder C wants to whine.
An NDA is a binding agreement to not disclose a particular subject, period
The government's authority to enforce that document ends when the document includes clauses which are outside the scope of its Constitutionally granted authority. Period.
In reality, you cannot certify that I own my neighbor's house. In practice (and current law) anyone can certify anything and it becomes a practice of suppressing the truth.
For example. Let's say that Bill Gates collaborated on a college project to write some code. 3 years later, after graduation, Bill Gates comes across a business deal to sell that code. His project group has all but disappeared into the mass of society. He can't contact them but wants to sell the code. So he simply removes any other names and sells the code. The company which buys the code certifies that Bill Gates is the sole owner of the code. Does that make it so? In practice, under your ignorant laws, yes, it does, because IBM and Bill Gates are the only ones who have the document and the money to enforce such an ignorant NDA. The other college collaborators probably never even know of the deal, probably never even know that their code was bought and sold and assigned to Bill.
Laws made in ignorance. That's what you're all about.
Read the Constitution and stick to it, tooth and nail. Anything else is little more than a cartel.
Every morning, usually from the moment that I am consciously awake. I pray that people like you will investigate the true nature of the law going back to the original document that makes the government anything more than an organized guido cartel.

Event horizons and closed time-like curves cannot exist in the real world for the simple reason that they are inconsistent with quantum mechanics.
I don't know about closed time-like curves, but event horizons are definitely within the realm of quantum mechanics as long as you accept the mathematical concept of "approaches infinity". True, any particle within the event horizon may exist outside of the event horizon (as dictated by quantum mechanics) but the calculation of integrals in mathematics is structured to include "as the probability approaches zero". It's the big S sign in front of an integral. It's the logical expansion of finite Riemann sums.

Don't write code under the GPL, and don't steal GPL'd code to support your ignorant efforts.
Tough, isn't it?
Cope.
Um. No. Taxpayers voting for the lesser of two evils on a ballot is not the same as that lesser of two evils voting for whatever pet program puts profits in their pocket.
