IANAL, but according to the FSF's lawyers the GPL is not a contract. It is a license. It grants additional rights to Minerva networks, and if they do not comply with the conditions placed on exercise of those rights they lose the ability to exercise them.
The Vista permissions system is what again? Unix permissions are very well understood after 25 years. And Microsoft with 100 times the resources of Open BSD has many more vulnerabilities. Neither Apple nor Microsoft care about security: if they did we would all be using Coyote.
You have heard of OpenBSD? Two remote holes in 10 years in the default install. I found 105 Secunia advisories for all versions. It's not completely secure, but its close. If I had to make a very secure system it would be my starting point.
I really don't understand capitalists. At one second they are ranting about socialism when the government keeps people from starving in the streets, but when a bank has a bit of trouble they expect the government to come in and save it. They defend the right to own property, but say that a vast segment of the world's population having no property is not a violation of their rights.
You are wrong. Volunteer militias, civilian support staff, and people who voluntarily take up arms at the sight of an invading army who carry arms openly and comply with all the rules of war are all accorded Prisoner of War status in addition to soldiers. Otherwise they are civilians captured by the army, and accorded the Fourth Geneva Convention protections. There are two classes of people: civilians and soldiers. There is no third category who would receive less protection. Lastly the use of torture is wrong under all conditions, regardless of who is the target. People have been tortured around the world by the CIA and US Army as part of the "War on Terror". Those responsible should be held accountable.
That is incorrect. POW status is granted unless a competent tribunal finds it is not warranted. No such tribunals have met. Furthermore Annex I further extends protections to guerrillas. While the US is not a signatory, it is regarded as part of customary international law. And lastly the prisoners who have been released have shown signs of malnourishment, physical and mental abuse. No one, civilian or soldier, terrorist or innocent, should be subjected to such things.
In what war have POW's been facing murder trials when they shot at enemy troops, denied access to the Red Cross, and confined for 22 hours a day in cells the size of a bathroom stall?
You are ignoring one major part: the certainty of the information. The reports said that the intelligence was not very good, but Bush did not. He also said military action was not inevitable, but was planning to go in long before. And if he was telling the truth he still would be committing a war of aggression.
A salaryman is payed a sum for obeying orders. He has no control over what the products of his labor are used for, nor is he assured work tomorrow. It is slavery by another name: One directs another in exchange for material considerations, and the directed is considered to have the same interests as the entire system. Aristotle regarded this as the essence of slavery. (Politics)
Now granted, the introduction of work gave the worker one important freedom: The right to pick his employer. But, so far, he has no right to influence his employer. Even if he owns the company in part with shares, he is denied the power to vote with them.
We already live in a socialist state. Production relations are supported by a system of laws, judges, legislators, and policemen that are the state. But what is not socialized is the control of production, which remains in the hands of a few.
And that's no different in the corporate world. Look at the senior ranks of management at a lot of companies. They get payed ridiculous amounts for running the company into the ground.
It was originally designed to deliver nuclear weapons. But then they realized the radioactive fallout from the exhaust would be much more damaging. The air passed through the core and so was exposed to neutron radiation, making it chock-full of nasty isotopes. The xenon from the reactor would also exit in the exhaust stream, adding to the radioactivity hazard. There are good reasons why that technology died.
Really? What about Moldova which is ruled by the communists and is a democracy? What about Yugoslavia which had independent worker controlled factories and private property?
Thank you for describing Utopian socialism. Unfortunately achieving that goal will require moving beyond social democracy. Power, not just money needs to be socialized, and that is unlikely to happen in Europe. It needs to happen in the United States to survive.

The issue is that then companies will sell locked-down "appliances" instead of computers.

They see a huge number of bogus transactions from one country, so they ban it. It's perfectly fine if you want to avoid getting burned.

Which Common Lisp implementation?
Why not use mixminion? The issue is integrating with the email system could be smoother
GPG keyservers are widely used. And with a few signing parties your web of trust will be quite big.

Quirin predates the Geneva Conventions. And the death of a US soldier in war is nothing compared to the attempted extermination of an entire race.

Yes. And the consequences are that they have a hell of a lot to lose from pissing us off. When a war starts no one makes money.

It's sad that DNSSEC hasn't gotten wider adoption given that the problem of spoofing is getting bigger.

Delivering mail is very simple and IO bound. More processor power won't help get the email out faster.

Anyone with cancer or who needs an organ transplant will run into treatment costs very quickly.

And using NT would erase it.
