No it does not make (normal) NAT illegal. As long as the equipment on the 'user' side is in the same location as the NATing hox (which for most home or office networks will be the case) then the place of origin/destination is not being hidden but is the premises obtaining service from the ISP.
Which is why email is much better than the telephone. You can choose the time to read your email, like when you are stuck on a problem and not when you are 'in full flow'. The telephone, on the other hand, demands instant attention.
There is one way which will probably not have any effect on most spam but might be effective for some (such as "guaranteed acceptance for a credit card".) That is to hold any UK branches/offices/subsidiaries etc of the spammer responsible for offending advertisments sent to anyone in the UK.
yet they have now succumbed and closed down because the site was being slashdotted.
Why wait so long? By the time the plug was pulled the usage had sunk to a tiny fraction of what it was yesterday after the/. story was published. So isn't this a case of locking the stable door after the horse has bolted?
Maybe one reason for not putting the source online now is that he is being slashdotted enough and putting the sources online would probably increase the slashdot effect.
One reason for getting broadband, even if you do not need high bandwidth, is to free up your phone line. It is cheaper (at least in some countries) to have broadband than to pay for an additional phone line and dial-up ISP charges.
The location of the servers should not matter. If the promoter of the spam (provider of goods/service) is either based in, or has an office in, your country then they should be within the juristiction of the law.
It may be easy for the actual sender of the email to hide his identity, but if the spam is offerring goods or services it is not so easy to hide the identity of the privider.
The type of spam which will probably be decreased by this type of law is that from businesses which put you on their mailing list because you purchase something from them (or download software)
True, but it would be nice if they also released the albums on DVD with these extras. This is especially true when the CD is 'copy protected' and will not play on computers, DVD players etc. There is precedent for this, as it was common for albums to be simultaneously released on at least 2 media - vinyl/Cassette or Cassette/CD.
Is that correct? Does the DMCA not apply to circumventing acess protection to copyright works? How can this still apply after the copyright has expired?
So for each card on the list display the logo to which that card is entitled next to its listing. That way the log is being used "in conjunction with products which have passed.....".
But as the vast majority of calls with caller ID blocked come from telemarketers (or at least here in the UK they do) you have the choice of not answering such calls.
Maybe what is needed in the USA is an equivalent of the UK's Telephone Preference Service where companies are not allowed to make sales or marketing calls to numbers which have been registered with TPS unless the person has given that company specific permission to call. Offenders can be fined for each such call they make.
That is fine where the supplier continues to use the same key. How easy is it for the downloader to tell the difference between the supplier changing the signing key and the intruder signing with a bogus key (the public half of which has been uploaded to the key servers)? This is where the web of trust comes into play, I suppose that at the minimum if a company changes the signing key (which does happen) then the new key should be signed by the old.

How will it benefit authors? Copyright already lasts for the life of the author plus an additional period. So an extension of this period will only benefit the author's estate or owning corporation.
I think there is a need to know assembly language. Even if you never actually write in assembler, it can be very useful when debugging. To quote one example which happened to a younger colleague of mine.
He was not getting the results he expected, and on tracing (in the high level language) in the debugger could not understand the program flow. A function was returning 0 (the debugger showed the return variable as being 0) but the path the calling function took was that where the function returned non-zero. When he asked for my assistance, I 'clicked' on the "display assembly" button, displayed the registers and immediately saw the problem. The called function was setting the return code in 8 bits of the register, but (because he had made the prototype visible to the calling module) the calling function was testing the full 32its of the register (and thus finding a non-zero value). Had he known assembly code, he would have stood more chance of finding the problem himself.
Yet the classic (but yet unfinished) series on Algorithms (Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming) uses an assembly language to explain the algorithms.
Can I as a Linux user buy a subscription? If so how? Despite all of the emails Real sends to me offering a subscription, I have never managed to find a way of downloading a Linux subscription version - all I can find are versions for Windows.
If it is going to be subscription only, will it work with the free Realplayers, or will it require the paid for RealOne? Other subscription sites (eg Bigbrother) only work with the paid for RealOne which is only available for Windows.
Listening to stations which play artists you have never heard of before is one way of getting to expand your listening experience. Who knows, you might even find that you like some of these "unknown" arists and would thank the station for introducing you to them.

How does this fit in with the new MS licencing systems? Larger customers will have some form of site licence for Windows and applications, so do not need the licence bundled with each new computer.

Surprising enough, I have never received spam offering double glazing.

Is word of mouth not still one of the best forms of advertising? Once one person has found a song/artist which they like they will tell their friends.
