Yeah, we europeans are all alike. All europeans where Nazis during WWII, and you americans kicked all of our collective asses. Alone. The american way.
The swedish minister of commerce referred to Norway as 'The last soviet state' last year. This was obviously not true, and a really stupid thing to say, but the point is that there is a large gap between the politics of different european countries.
What you're saying is that the only way we are going to keep our rights is by shutting up, sitting down and silently hoping that if we don't make any noises, the government will reward us by not putting us in jail. Yeah, that sounds like a bright idea.
Looking at this page it looks like in 1994 a Bernard Shifman was employed by US Robotics and one of the founding members of the US Internet Industry Association.
I'm guessing this is not the same person that is making a total idiot out of himself eight years later. Shifman SR might take a beting or two down the road just for having that name.
I'm curious: Would it be possible to use KDE natively as the WM on Windows, seeing how QT is available under windows? I seem to remember someone porting afterstep to windows so it IS possible to change windows wm. There is a link on the cygwin/xfree86-page about running KDE as an app under windows, but they use xfree86, I would like the possibility to use KDE as the only windowmanager under windows, using the native windows-version of QT.
Any comments/links/insults?

I agree. I find it hard to belive that a professor would start a course without looking in to which tools would be usefull. Could it be that the poster wanted to learn about WAP and made up the story so that people would want to help.
I watched 3 or 4 episodes of Lexx in a state of utter confusion. My mind couldn't grasp such a fscked concept for a TV-series. Eventually I accepted Lexx for what it is and I like it.
The writer of this story doesn't know what he's talking about. The number of worms proportional to n squared. Apache has 60% marketshare, IIS has 30%, that means that Apache must have about 4 times as many worms as IIS. Moron.
Most of the scriptkiddies probably use Win9X, and AFAIK IIS hates everything but NT kernels, so it should be much easier to get Apache than IIS to run under Win9X. Ease of access is not the reason either.
What's left? I'd venture two guesses:
Hacking IIS means sticking it up to the man, which is COOL.
Like a lot of people, I feel that RMS has in the past acted irrationally and stupid, but this is a wellwritten (meaning short) article about a very real problem. Go girl!

If you have reason to belive that the gun will be used for murder, you are responsible. I would even go as far as to say that if you sell someone a gun withou looking him up, to see that there is no reason to suspect he would use the gun on someon else, you are responsible.
I've seen at least 3 post claiming that for medium resolution fonts (~10..16 pts) AA sucks. Instead of replying to all of them, I'll post this one comment:
AA can, if overdone make medium sized fonts seem blury and hard to read. In the end, this is not a weakness in the idea of AA but in the implementation. For a good implementation of AA check out BeOS, medium sized fonts are (where) only slightly AA:ed, producing smooth but sharp-looking fonts. I belive this is done by using a single grayscale, and using a bias towards b/w. For very pretty but almost completely unreadable AA-fonts, check out MacOS.
That's what every hardware site has been speculating for the last year. But the above warning proves you're wrong. Intel taking VIA to court is a pretty sure sign they DONT want Via making a DDR chipset.
This means that Intel is more afraid of loosing a part of the chipset marketshare to Via, than loosing a part of the CPU marketshare to AMD. They might be right, Joe Average doesn't care about what chipset they use, but they might know that the CPU should be an Intel.
You're wrong. GPL is like a grapefruit, very juicy and red. BSD is more like Volfram, sporting a truly remarkable meltingpoint.
Seriously, that has to be the lamest aphorism I've ever heard.
"And besides that, FreeBSD out of the box isn't as friendly as most Linux distributions."
I know what you mean. I installed Mandrake on my Aibo, and it started fetching the newspaper every morning. It even made me breakfast, though I hadn't adjusted the timezone, so it actually made ít just after midnight. Previously I used FreeBSD, and my Aibo wouldn't even play catch with me. What a grinch!
Seriously, WTF is "friendly"? FreeBSD doesn't automatically install a shitload of unneeded junk, it doesn't open every port on your computer with thosuands of worthless daemons. (Oh, RH enables lpd by default, even when I don't have a printer. How clever! And ftpd too? And how many root exploits where found for ftpd in the last year?)
Damaged Harddrives can almost always be read. There are special shops that specialize in recovering data after fires and other types of accidents. Would have cost you a buck or two, though.

Not 100% sure about this, but I belive thet DVDs dont have to be encrypted at all.

Third law of Thermodynamics:
3). The entropy at 0 Kelvin is zero.
How does that translate into 'You can't quit'? I'd say it translates into something like 'There is an upper bound on how good things can get'.

Theoretically, a OTP isn't an encryption.
But the speed at which they got it running is impressive.

Just use the better software. Currently, that means IE.
