If I'm good at programming, why shouldn't I be able to SELL my hard work? Isn't that what capitalism is about? Supply and Demand. I have the supply - they have the demand. Now I agree that they should be punished if caught using my code for a project - but I have no problem selling it to them. It might be wise to include some small hidden sig - just that if someone complains I can prove its my work. Hell, I should put a EULA on it - "YOU AGREE NOT TO USE THIS FOR ANY SCHOOL ASSIGNMENTS".
if the case against the Chang succeeded. IANAL, but his comment
"If this case goes to court and wins in their favor, it basically invalidates all the EULAs in the world," Chang said. "It doesn't make any sense. We spelled it out for them."
is interesting. Would this mean that those EULAs that say you can't copy software are invalid? Or that if Windows wrecked all of your data they have to pay you damages? If any of these are reasonable, Chang's losses may be worth it in the long run.
Now tell me that a company certified for China's National Networks is who we want to secure the general internet. Its almost as if they are saying YES to censorship and control. I'm not saying security is a bad thing, but pick how you do it with care...
It is true that NAT can hide your IP, but it depends on how it is configured. The whole point of using NAT is to route un-routable Ip addresses, like 192.168.0.1, on the internet. Depending on what you want and need, NAT can be done in three different ways:
STATIC: this is when the router assigns one routable address to one non-routable address. This 'hides' your IP address, but as the new address always points to your real one... Well you get the idea
DYNAMIC: this selects a random routable address from a 'pool'. The assignment is temporary and this will hide where your requests are coming from. But as the pool is a range of addresses given to you offically, it wouldn't be hard to find who was using them.
DYNAMIC-PORT: this uses only one routable IP, but translates all of the non-routable IPs onto different ports for each connection. The appearence is of one computer making many connections.
Correct. The directions to websites are controlled by DNS. The ability to coonect to them is controlled by the routers and landlines connecting them. All you need is an IP address. So if you're really worried, just ping google.com, copy the address and paste that in instead. It will connect, I assure you. Besides, even if the EU forced their ISP's to stop using ICANN's DNS servers, only EU ISP users would be affected. And as for cutting off access, the EU would have to sever the connections overseas to have any real affect.
Despite what others say, I'm forced to agree with you. Call me an individualist, but I believe the only one responcible for one's actions is them.
As a parent, you are an influence in the child's life, not the child itself. They must be responcible for their actions. Everything in this world is an influence, and all must be weighed in the child's mind.
Now I'm sure this will get ar rile out of many, but I feel I need to say it. The purpose of the parent, the first large influence, is to teach the child how to SURVIVE. Its been this way since evolution itself. The purpose of having children is to pass on your genetic material, and to do so they must live to do the same. To accomplish this a individual must be able to think and act autonomously in any situtation. Doing things for a child, or sheltering them will not teach them these skills.
And to cover by backside against those who talk about small children seeing hardcore sex on the internet, why would they be looking at these things? Google dosen't bring up such sites first, unless you use words like porn. So the source is else where. And overall the fact that they see such things is not important. A child seeing something for the first time will be as clueless as the day they were born. As a parent, and influence, it is our jobs to explain what they are seeing. Whether or not this entails spouting the diatribe we've all heard before, or rationally talking it over with them is up to our own beliefs. But I would hope whatever we say will help them deal with society on their terms, not someone else's.
Look at this way: When a person writes software for a company who owns it? The software developer? No... The company owns the copyright. Just like an engineer, all of their work is given to the company. So if the company wants the rights of ownership, shouldn't they get all the responsibilities that go with it? How is it fair that a person, with no legal ownership of the code, be held legally responsible for it?
It just makes no sense, except maybe to the company...

I hope this helps.
