Wow, are you really so gullible to believe the propganda the American media spout as truth? This story is so very false. As false in fact as the WMDs America used as justification to start a war.
The saddest bit is that there are lots of Americans who like it that way. So much for justice and democracy in Iraq.
That there are lots of Americans who like it that way is sad and alarming, so maybe we should re-phrase your statement to "So much for justice and democracy in the USA"
The parent has sort of a point apart from expressing disgust in an innapropriate manner, it is a little lame that Americans are proclaiming with glee how they insulted a foreign leader to his face before hanging him.
"Nya nya nya nya nya, you are a fag and the devil's butt monkey" - It's not really adult behaviour is it, and certainly not the behavior of a country that likes to think they are a world leader.
Take the high moral ground guys, don't play childish games like this and maybe the rest of the world might respect you.
Let's hope that the soldiers who did this are brought up on disciplinary charges.
Possibly not, NSW have a lot of outrageous laws and have done for a while.
Such as?
Simpons' porn being classed as full on child pornography and carrying the full force of the law despite no real child being harmed... or real person for that matter.
Leave, leave Geneva every last one of you,
Saturn will be converted from gold to iron,
Raypoz will exterminate all who oppose him,(?)
Before the coming the sky will show signs.

Your rocket is both powerful and big, big Chinese rocket in it is also important for a good elephant. Of course, when calculated on the front of the rocket, NASA flight for NASA lemon Avenue in a straight line, but as people say, the devil is a precursor to worry about losing the link, so you should worry too much not to speak. Please do not kill only the countries of the project to just go to bed.
Anyway, NASA cancer. Power, along with your wishes.
So I, as the owner of the computer system, am not authorized to determine what can and can't operate on my hardware?
The law in general allows DRM, this overrides your personal desires. I believe that you, as an individual or a business cannot make up your own rules on what is and isn't authorised if it goes against commonly accepted practices.
Scarily if you read the law you will see that *anyone* who knowingly attempts to subvert the lawful operation of any computer program (say DRM/WGA) is causing an offense.
Far from allowing you to say, "don't prevent my access to your data", if you bypass DRM to access "their" data you might be committing the crime and get 10 years in goal.
Say I have an encrypted drive on my computer and its seized by the authorities? Is that not impeding access to a computer system?
In the UK, Australia and New Zealand at least you are required under law to hand over your keys of you are directed to. Not doing so carries a very stiff penalty, many time more than you would get by releasing the terrorist plot in the encrypted store.
Steganography (such as truecrypt) used with care can help you get past this law, but most people are just not qualified to run such protection effectively. For example if they have a swap the keys are compromised off the bat, on windows the MRU can give the presence of the data away while if on Linux the bash-history contains the access commands. etc.
This is a pretty good description of DRM! So it's illegal now?
No, the law states "he does any unauthorised act in relation to a computer" (34.3.1.a).
DRM and Encryption are both authorised act's. And... saying "you" don't authorise DRM on your PC isn't good enough, the UK laws allowing DRM override your own de-authorisation.
With encryption in general though, if you had a falling out with your employer and you encrypted his drive, then you would be guilty. Encrypting your own drive though is certainly legal and allowed. (Mind you in the UK you are required to hand over your keys to the police if lawfully requested).
I think the news.com.com summary, or the submitter's words make a poor summary.
Here is the amended law which certainly mentions not accessing a computer you don't have rights to touch (33) and the D.O.S. clause (34).
Specifically stated (and both need to be true) is "he does any unauthorised act in relation to a computer" and "he has the requisite intent and the requisite knowledge."
Requisite intent as far as 34.3.2.b would be D.O.S. or hacking and Requisite knowledge is defined at 34.3.4 as doing something you know is not allowed, that is, it's not an accidental D.O.S..
But.... Section 34.3.2.c could very well be taken as the UK's version of the DMCA. "If you attempt to defeat the lawful operation of a (DRM/WGA/SerialNumberCheck) program or provide tools (35.3a) to do such an act you face 10 years in goal".
How to do you translate "PLEASE GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR COUNTRY RIGHT NOW"
I'm not sure about the IBM solution but good old google gives a phrase that when retranslated back to English reads as "Hope of the exploited in our country right now"*. I don't see this being any real use except for the most basic translations, like which way to the mosque, or do you need a doctor. After all "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak":)
* I would paste the google translated Arabic, but for some reason/. seems to delete arabic unicode from it's posts. Try it and see.
It works like phpBB or vBulletin but the active threads page, inside the thread itself and various other places are all built around Ajax so you get the realtime, non-refresh mode.
If someone posts the thread is bumped and everyone knows. In fact if you use FFx and move the forum to a background tab the tab blinks when a new post is there so you can go on with other work and only look when something has happened.
It's still beta but it's now quite usable. Plus... it has Ajax'ed Slashdot style moderation. Members can increase a post above the noise or sink it to oblivion. You set your floor with a fuzzy slider.
I still have my DOS1.0b diskettes and manual here
If I remember right it was a burgandy red manual in a light olive green hard slip cover. Or was it an Olive manual in a grey slip?
Ah the memories as I put those in the boxes and taped them close for people in doctor's surgeries and accountancy practices to buy;)
Probably a crazy urban geek legend, but a cute story nonetheless.
It certainly would be an urban legend. There were (are) plastic nipples on the connectors that stopped you messing it up unless you forced them. Besides, the first thing we were taught (I unpacked one of the first 5150s in Australia) was that the red wires went together.
Strange, as my results for that user are different, they look like she/he/it has typed in the lyrics of a song, especially as if you imagine you are singing them and compare timestamps they correlate pretty well.

Why bother when the FireFox extension CustomiseGoogle contains an anonymise cookie option, this will ensure that google works as you expect, but ensures that the cookie they use to corellate your searches with your gmail with your google maps searches (your house for one) with your price shopping with your groups searches with your images searches is changed every now and again. No loss of functionality, complete maintenance of privacy.
I _hate_ crap like that. I use DriveCrypt for encryption (from securstar.de), and it has the most horrific license system I've ever had the displeasure to use.
That is why you should support Open Source where possible. Rather than continue with DriveCrypt change to TrueCrypt which can do everything DriveCrypt does PLUS... use a file, say a.gif, as a key, containers compatible between Windows and Linux and also the encrypted containers don't contain DriveCrypt's giveaway signature bytes at the start of the file.
The only way to stop the re-emergence of copy protection schemes (as were the craze in the mid 1980's with things like pro-lock) is to stop buying their products, instead relying on open source whereever the task at hand allows. DriveCrypt is one of things that you can easily get rid of. WGA is a little harder, but it's day will come.

Hmm I see you've dealt with AOL cancellations before. They are almost as bad as Real cancellations.
