If one is prepared to change the infrastructre in place to enable taxed email, why not just make the change instead to globally require SSL authentication, or alter SMTP to require authenticaion and not be so trusting of everyone?
The changes required to allow per email based taxation would surely be more difficult than implementing this?
Nobody seems to have to have noticed that one of the companies doing this was already completed the integration of gpg into KMail. This was another project paid for by the German government. It was a just rolled into kmail for KDE 3.1, and by all accounts works excellently.
They also provided support for mutt.
If the german government continues to provide backing like this, then we can expect great things from the KDE project in the future.
There is morpheus compatible software, called giFT. It worked up until MusicCity deliberatly changed the protocol and broke the free libraries that worked with it.
see here for more along with a plotted history of how they reverse engineered it, and how their work was broken.
How is this going to be any more secure than DVDs?
If the format is ever available as pure data format, and we can get readers for these, someone sooner or later will decrypt these songs so that they can listen to them on these devices too.
To actually start a comment out by fulfilling godwin's law, and hence proving yourself wrong before you made your point, is so increadibly dumb that, I am hoping, that it is the reason you got mod'ed up to (3), was which means we need a new catagory:- (Score 5: Hey come look at this idiot!)
I am not sure how long it will take for your garage mechanic scenario to play out, although I am sure that it will; however, people seem to permanantly misunderstand what constitutes a CS degree, and that can only delay the inevitable differentiation between these two groups
Recently a my (US) uni, the degree course was audited by a group of lecturers from other colleges, to assess the value of the course. I was embarassed to sit there and listen to one of my fellow students argue that they should be able to transfer in their MCSE in lieu of some of their core cs major courses! Thankfully, one of the auditors put this chap in place and pointed out that computer science was exactly that and should not be confused with 'a familiarity with whatever packages and tools happen to be in vogue at the moment.' He added that it was certainly more than clicking a few buttons to create a new user.
this, I have to admit, put a smile on my face;-)
Now can someone explain this to people who haven't taken cs110 and don't know their microsoft from their elbow?
As we have far to many derogative comments about the New Scientist here I thought that I would link to their article that not only deals with these calls but gets you deleted from the database! Personally, I think that they do a very good job (The new scientist, not the telemarketers)... but there is no pleasing everyone.
Traditions like the Salem witch trials? Or more like McCarthyism? or is it the freedoms like letting every idiot get his hands on a gun. Come on guys! We have something like 20 hand gun deaths in the UK per year. When will you realise that Guns do kill people, and they make killing people easy. This is really going to annoy a lot of people (as some think that free software and the freedom to bear arms go hand in hand), but what the hell, if only it was registered members of the NRA that got shot every time I'd be a little happier
I recall that the samba project once had somebody break the GPL. A third party sold their own version of the Software without releasing their altered source, i.e. a clear GPL violation. The samba team contacted the FSF who lent them a lawyer...
and all ended well in the world of free software, or something like that.
Sorry I can't provide links to the article but I don't have time to search for where I might have read about it at the moment. Linear Algebra exam in 1 hour...
Hope this provides some case history for this subject.
It seems to me that SuSE are getting involved in the Linux Gaming Scene heavily at the moment.
6.3 comes with a demo of Civ CTP and Railroad Tycoon II, given the well roundedness of their ditro, might they not stand to gain from this state, and us all my the positive influence that this will have on the Linux Games market as a whole.
Anyway getting a copy of YAST 2 alone would be nice;-)
Could we work through a copy of the statement sentance by sentance? A section for clarification of what the sentance's claim is based on (if anything), and one for replies to this statement (More recent reports (with links), arguements against the validity).
Both of these could be done in a threaded and moderated way.
This would allow us to address these matters with the full force of the community, and to moderate out those with less 'developed' linux advocacy.

someone mod Androsyn up! the original poster is clearly a troll and has never read Linus famous arguements with Tannenbaum.

Larard.
To fine tune this idea:
Could we work through a copy of the statement sentance by sentance? A section for clarification of what the sentance's claim is based on (if anything), and one for replies to this statement (More recent reports (with links), arguements against the validity).
Both of these could be done in a threaded and moderated way.

Seem like a good idea?
