China doesn't have laws in any sense of the word. For law to be different from banditry, it must respect the rights of individuals. China doesn't, so its laws deserve no ones respect.
The way AACS works is players are arranged in a tree. Each player has the keys that generate the other branch of the tree all the way up to the top. If you break 2 players, seperated a distance n completely, you break n other players as they have keys you can find out.
It's easy to tell that you have a rabid dog, a toxic waste spill, a bad phone line. It's hard to tell if your computer is part of a botnet, esp. if you only have 1 and your ISP is uncooperative. Also, insecure computers don't join botnets by themselves, they get hacked. Saying the owner needs to fix it is going to lead to a lot of outcry about how people who don't understand computers are getting jailed for something they aren't responisible for. They won't get one iota of sympathy from me, but all other lusers will oppose these laws.
And of course the contract won't have a remedy worth a damn. This is why organizations make bad descions:Managers assume incorrectly that blaming someone fixes a problem. Appendix F should be required reading for all MBA's.
All of them are made by Apple, so only 1 company profits. That's what's so specific. It's like Shell gas only working in Ford cars. Yeah, you can pick a truck or a car, but it's still unfair.

It's not preferential. Other companies can make products that interoperate with PlaysForSure. If other compainies could do that with Fairplay, Norway wouldn't have a problem according to the article. Just because some companies are in compliance with proposed new regulations and some aren't doesn't mean that making new regulations is "unfair".
If you read the register article about Bill S1 you would have realized that it only covered blogs made by people employed or hired to make them. It would not have affected any genuine grassroots political activity.
See, that's why the world is going down this way. Smart people go "Oh, I shouldn't have kids because the world is going to hell in a handbasket". Dumb people don't care. We're getting outbred! NB: DO NOT USE AS PICKUP LINE!
I'll support the GP on 4. If no one implemented DRM major studios would adopt open formats. Given the choice between not making money, and releasing DRM-free media, I think they would pick DRM-free media. Secondly, the retraining costs for a Luser are likely to be similar between Ubuntu and Vista. Also, a lot of the new features are new only in widely used projects. They even include Baysean filtering for crying out loud!
The thing is your 1GHz mac is using a CPU instead of a dedicated ciruit, and is playing at very high resolutions, along with OS overhead. A player can use a minimal OS, a dedicated chip, and low resolution.
L4 would be a much more rational choice then Linux. It's basically a faster Mach. And Apple might want to take advantage of the 4 security layers of the x86 processor, something Linux doesn't do. Also, Apple would need to port IOKit to Linux. Since L4 is written in C++ it would be much easier. Or OpenSolaris. Since Apple is integrating a lot of OpenSolaris features anyway, the might as well take the whole hog.
A lot of the tasks assume imperative programing, e.x. assigning values to an array. This should be about algorithms that we can all implement, not code fragments that assume a particular style of programing.
Ideally people would be smart enough to do that with the tools we give them. Unfortunately they seem more intent on having a small group of corperations dictate their view of paradise to them.

They were not looking at the entire US population, just the population of broadband users.
What do you think they have in Europe? Hint:It's not private schools.
Brush up on your Heinlein. First things get a lot worse, then we get Coventry.

ATI Drivers have been reverse-engineered. And I think that Dell uses intel chipsets for a lot of its machines.

You could just install Ubunto on their computer and problem solved. Or install restrictive firewalls unless they are clean.

All decentralized version control systems do this kind of stuff already.
The MIT license looks like it explictly permits relicensing. Would someone more qualified in the legal art then me care to comment?
Did you know that by Heisenburg's uncertianty principle you are already in my pants?
So it takes n calls to learn the n digit PIN?
A desk would protect you from debries.

Does this mean we will have a walled network where it takes cash to get in, and no one is anonymous?
