There is *no* explicit right to privacy in the Constitution, or any other doctrine that the USA was founded on. There is a limitation on unreasonable search and seizure, but no explicit right to privacy.
Check out Caroline Kennedy's "The Right to Privacy". A bit dated, but still relevant.
I'd feel better about the GUI design of Server 2008 if the "shutdown" option wasn't the default on the logout portion of the start menu. I can't tell you how many times I've shut down our test 2008 server in the last week, instead of logging out. Sigh.
You know, every day, the world seems more and more like Heinlein's novel "Friday" -- massively interlocked superconglomerate corporations owning all that is ownable, balkanization of territories, a global computer network containing all recorded movies, music and information, and now this, something akin to the superballistic planes.
I'm actually interested to see if the rough-and-tumble in the boardroom starts to spill out into the streets, a proxy war fought by mercenaries, hurting corporations where they're most vulnerable -- the bank account and their reputations.
To me, it's absolutely uncanny how dead-on he was about the changes to society the future would bring. The only thing I'd disagree about with his insight is how long it would take for things to fall apart -- IMHO he was an optimist.
The OpenBSD ports system is closely tied to OpenBSD OS releases. When you upgrade to a new OS release, usually an updated tarball of the ports tree is released as well. The ports system is not really intended to be "tracked" with the latest and greatest version of the ported program out in the wild.
Seeing as how MFC is really just a wrapper for the Win32 API, having the "source" to MFC does not help in many cases. RE: the C library, I would much rather have a port of libc to Windows than the MS version.
This looks like more of a boon to the entire PC maker/reseller industry itself, not the average user. If the Big Three can afford to (quietly) thumb their collective noses at the once mighty M$ pre-installed OS monopoly before any kind of actual ruling comes out, then the smaller PC makers will have very little to fear from M$ in terms of retribution via pricing, and thus will have more options in what OS to ship with their hardware. Winners: users, PC manufacturers, and all alternative OSes. Losers: M$ -- they won't be able to dictate what the average user sees upon booting.
I read an interview of CC where he stated that originally, Nick Lea was to be the lead in Harsh Ream (intentional misspelling), but it didn't come together. CC does want to keep working with Lea, tho.
Prove to me that breaking MS up will have any *real* effect -- what is to stop OS team A from meeting with App development team B to discuss tying an app to the OS ? The current head honchos at M$ will have their fingers in all pieces of the pie, no matter how it gets split up, and thus have an interest in business as usual.

Before reading TFA, my first thought was that someone had finally made a movie of this most excellent short story. Oh well, I can hope.

The point is that nowadays, the only way to beat the system is to jam it with false information.
IANAL, but last time I checked, info gleaned from the trash was admissable under certain conditions.
But in this case, a tie is as good as a win for Microsoft.
As soon as the local teenage yokels find out it's a 100 *meter* telescope, I'll bet they fill it with bullet holes.

You are not gonna get a smaller government, not today, anyway. And a large government that actually works is a dangerous thing. Just my 2 cents.

I met Mike Shermer -- good man, interesting ideas. A *very* good book to read. That, and Sagan's "Demon Haunted World".
