It is\npart of the culture and that behavior is viewed as acceptable. \n\nFor comparison, contrast this with the character of the arguably more\nserious protests against Federal government abuse in the inter-mountain\nWest. They have a very different idea of what constitutes acceptable\nprotest practice. Those protests remain largely civil and polite, if\nheated and aggressive, and those involve a far greater percentage of the\nlocal population. And unlike 99% of the liberal coastal city protests\nI've seen, the people protesting in the inter-mountain West are actually\nfacing immediate dire consequences from the activities they are\nprotesting and are strongly motivated to protest in a manner that gets\nresults. Some of their tactics, such as the practice of many businesses\nand restaurants in northern Nevada to not give service to anyone known\nto be in the employ of the BLM and related agencies, have been very\neffective at forcing dialog. I don't recall anyone characterizing their\nprotests as impolite, rude, or violent, but then they have more to lose.\n\n\n-James Rogers\n jamesr@best.com\n\n\n"

"One of the most bizarre pages I've seen on the Web. At first I thought it\nmight be some sort of back-story to a RPG, but, nope, it looks like somebody\nbelieves this.\n\n===\nhttp://www.viking-z.org/r20i.htm\n\nM09. Dinosaurs Eggs and the Origins of Good and Evil.\nDINOSAURS. Reptoid ETs are reported to be 12 foot high crocodiles walking on\ntheir hind legs. This is a description of a dinosaur. It now appears in\nRemote Viewing that the Reptoid ETs, dinosaurs and dragons are all linked\ntogether and that they all originated on Earth. The Erideans who are Reptoid\nderivatives have a home planet (in the Eridanus system) like all other ETs.\nThe Reptoids have no reported home planet. They also come over as entities\nwith little brain who control their bodies directly by spirit. This is a\ndescription of a ghost or disincarnate entity regardless of how people see\nthem. Thus it could be that the Reptoids, Erideans, Nordics, Anunnaki, but\nnot the Greys, all have origins on Earth and have a strong link to Earth\neven if they choose to live elsewhere. The Greys do not appear to have a\nrenal or urinary system and this points to them not originating on Earth.\nThe definitive work on dragons is \"The Flight of Dragons\" by Peter\nDickinson. If dragons did exist in the flesh, they did not survive the long\nbow. Targets do not come much bigger.\n\nTruth is stranger than fiction. Thus the writer's current scenario is that\nthere were a race of dinosaurs which developed psychic intelligence to guard\ntheir eggs and young, and who probably preferred to live underground. They\nsurvived the wipe out of the dinosaurs 50 million years ago with difficulty.\nThey evolved into the Erideans and transferred to a more hospitable planet\n(for them) possibly with the help of another race of ETs who wanted slaves\nbut otherwise had no interest in Earth or mind control.\n\nThus it appears that the current Reptoids are the Spirits or ghosts of the\ndinosaurs. They must have been powerful to survive 50 million years and also\nto appear to some people. They have appeared to the writer in remote\nviewing. They are living on as vampire entities. Such immortal minds are\ncontagious and can easily jump race and species barriers. If they can be\nencouraged to reincarnate, then the power sources of the black magicians and\nmind controllers will disappear. Encouraging them to reincarnate will help\nso called immortal minds to disappear as immortal minds have great\ndifficulty surviving reincarnation. Purging people's dinosaurs should remove\nall perverse psychic abilities not under their control. They are a source of\nSatanic Guardian Angels and demons. They control us by owning our psi. Thus\nif we regain ownership of psi, we must relinquish their control and that of\nall other mind controllers. Encourage people to regain ownership of their\npsi.\n\nTHE ORIGINS OF LOVE, HATE AND PURE MALICE. The following scenario appears to\nhold water and can account for the origins of our Universal Subconscious.\n\nDinosaurs laid their eggs and buried them either underground or in piles of\nrotting vegetation (a good source of beetles and grubs for young\nhatchelings). They did not sit on their eggs to keep them warm, which made\nthem very vulnerable to drastic climate and temperature change. In order to\nkeep away predators some at least developed psychic mind control. To do this\nthey had to capture ownership of the psi of potential predators. This is an\nact of hatred and outward looking. While a few dinosaurs did develop the\nability to bear living young, most did not. The dinosaurs got in first and\nso their mind control tends to override all other latter minds. They have\nbecome the source of all Satans, devils and demons.\n\nBirds on the other hand developed the ability to sit on their eggs and keep\nthem warm. A hen bird normally lays a series of eggs (say one per day) and\nonly starts sitting when the clutch is completely laid. Thus all eggs tend\nto hatch together as they all have an equal period of warmth. This is\nprimarily an act of love but inward looking. Bearing live young is not\nsuitable to a bird of the air. A pregnant pigeon would not fly very far.\nAntarctic penguins tuck a single egg between their legs to keep it warm,\neven if they are standing on ice.\n\nMammals developed live bearing of their young which is also primarily an act\nof love and inward looking. This is especially true as a mammalian female\ncan not desert her young in the womb in case of emergency as can a bird\nsitting on a nest.\n\nDinosaurs developed hate and mind control of others to protect their young,\nwhile birds and mammals developed love. Birds and mammals certainly do hate\nall enemies of their young, but this is secondary.\n\nIf one wants to purge the sources of malice of say a black magician, then\npurge his dinosaurs and his dinosaur eggs. Unfortunately most of our\nreligions are based on dinosaur protection of eggs and thus mind control,\nregardless of the front they put out to the public. Religion tends to\nconcentrate on \"How to Brainwash your Neighbour\". Conscious thought has\nbuilt many mighty empires, theologies and slave control systems out of using\n\"How to care for and protect one's young\" as a foundation.\n\nThus the foulest form of abuse possible is to call something \"A load of\ndinosaur's eggs\". Purging the dinosaurs and dinosaur's eggs of any entity\ntends to purge all malice back to its roots.\n\nIt looks as if mighty immortal minds have built up from small beginnings,\naided and abetted by various occultists and other. As they will insist on\nvampiring the living for energy to avoid reincarnation and disturbing the\nserenity of the writer, he encourages them to reincarnate.\n\nITEMS FOR INSPECTION. For mind control to take place, then someone must take\ncontrol or ownership of the target's psi and pleasure centres. Check for the\nfollowing.\n\nNest of dinosaur's eggs, holy dinosaurs, etc.\nEggs, controllers or owners in peoples psi, pleasure centres, pain killing\nhormones, abilities, etc.\nMind machines.\nThe original engraving or engram.\nGOD and SATAN appear to be job titles and not entities in their own right. T\nhey appear to be dinosaur engravings or engrams. No doubt dinosaurs were the\nfirst job holders.\nTIMETRACKS are worth investigating as our complete history from the start of\ntime.\n\nMy, our, Man's timetracks, etc.\nThe time tracks of the Universe, Universal Subconscious, Galactic\nSubconscious, etc.\nEXTINCT RACES of ETs can cause problems when they live on in vampire mode.\nTheir virtues may known to channelers but they can also have vices. Whenever\none hears of races which have evolved on to higher planes, suspect that the\nhigher plane is a vampire one. One may never know what they looked like or\nother basic characteristics, which makes linking back a trifle difficult.\nEvery extinct race, etc.\nBLOOD ANCESTORS are also worth investigating as minds can be passed down via\ngenetic linkages.

"\nOver on Arstechnica (www.arstechnica.com) I saw mention of a Wired article\nthat goes into the many wonderfull ways Apple is showing its love and\nrespect for its users.\n\nhttp://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,55395,00.html\n\nThere is a good rundown of all the whys and whatfores over at\nhttp://arstechnica.com/reviews/02q3/macosx-10.2/macosx-10.2-5.html\n\n\"True to form, industrious third party developers saw that they could gain\na competitive advantage by supporting this more capable user interface in\ntheir applications. Apple's private menu extras APIs were reverse\nengineered and leveraged to great effect. The architecture was so popular\nthat an application for managing predefined sets of menu extras (third\nparty or otherwise) was in development.\n\nAll of that changed with the release of Jaguar--but not because the\nprivate APIs had changed. If they had, third party developers would have\nupdated their applications to work with the new APIs, as they have\nresigned themselves to doing by choosing to use private APIs in the first\nplace.\n\nBut what actually happened in Jaguar was that Apple added code to forcibly\nexclude all non-Apple menu extras. Other parts of the API did not change.\nBut when a menu extra is loaded, it is compared to a hard-coded list of\n\"known\" menu extras from Apple. If the menu extra is not on that list, it\nis not allowed to load.\n\nIt's easy to laugh at Steve Ballmer's sweat-soaked gyrations as he chants\n\"developers, developers, developers!\", but Microsoft clearly understands\nsomething that Apple is still struggling with. It is in a platform\nvendor's best interest to encourage development for its platform. In\nApple's case, this doesn't mean that they have to bend over backwards to\nmake every single system service and UI element \"pluggable\" via public\nAPIs. That's clearly a lot of work, and not something that needs to be the\nnumber one priority for an OS in its infancy. And in the meantime, if\nthird party developers want to sell into a market that requires the\ndesired functionality to be added in \"unsupported\" ways, then they must be\nprepared for the maintenance consequences of their decisions.\n\nBut for Apple to go out of its way--to actually expend developer\neffort--to stop these third party developers, while still failing to\nprovide a supported alternative, is incredibly foolish. \"\n\n\n\n"

The \n> jury is still out, but so far only a few brief rebellions and \n> referendums and such, still together after 130+ years.\n\n\nAlberta, and to a lesser extent some of the other Western provinces, is\ndefinitely not happy with the current arrangement. Some of this has to\ndo with the strange way the Canadian government is structured. When I\nwas last up in Alberta (a month ago), the newspapers were reporting\nsomething like 70% of Albertans favor separating from Canada, and over\nseveral distinct issues.\n\nThe problem is basically that while Alberta is an economic powerhouse\nthat is propping up the weaker economies of the Eastern provinces, their\ninterests are openly and unapologetically ignored by the government in\nOttawa. While Alberta sends something like twice the tax dollars to\nOttawa per capita of the average Canadian, they only have token\nrepresentation in the federal government. While I'm not clear on\nexactly how the government works up there, representation is not\nentirely based on population, and it works out that some eastern\nprovinces with populations smaller than the city of Calgary alone have\nsubstantially more representatives in the legislature than the entire\nprovince of Alberta. \n\nThe long and the short of it is that the eastern provinces use Alberta\nas a personal ATM machine for their social programs while not even so\nmuch as throwing Alberta a bone, and are able to do so because even the\nsparsely populated eastern provinces can out-vote Alberta despite having\nfewer people. Or something like that. The Canadian government is less\nrestricted than the US government, so they can do strange things, like\nhaving restrictive regulations that only apply to certain provinces,\nAlberta being on the receiving end of many such obscenities. It is\nessentially a much worse version of what is happening in the\ninter-mountain West of the US. Unlike the US case though, the rest of\nCanada would really be hurting if they weren't receiving all those tax\ndollars from Alberta. OTOH, Alberta would probably thrive.\n\nI have friends in Alberta, and visit occasionally, but I'm not totally\nclear on everything that goes on in that country, due to my partial\nunfamiliarity with how the government works up there, so I'm a little\nfuzzy on some of the details. What I do know is that on average the\nAlbertans are quite unhappy with their current position in Canada and\nthe sentiment has been getting worse over the years.\n\nCheers,\n\n-James Rogers\n jamesr@best.com\n\n\n\n"

"Hardware acceleration for SSL makes sense since PKI can slow down a\ntransaction by as much as 1,000-fold. Per this article, XML formatting only\nincreases doc size by about 20-fold.. I'm not sure there are enough \"powers\nof ten\" in there to justify hardware acceleration. \n\nExpect the next major release from DataPower to be the revolutionary new\n\"email chip\" - allows you to offload the sending and receiving of email\nmessages onto dedicated hardware while you get on w/ more important things\n.. like listening to MP3s..\n\nBest, \nPaul Sholtz\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: Rohit Khare\nTo: fork@example.com\nSent: 8/27/02 3:00 PM\nSubject: DataPower announces XML-in-silicon\n\nNo analysis yet... don't know what to make of it yet. But here's the raw\n\nbits for all to peruse and check out what's really going on... Best, \nRohit\n\n===========================================================\n\nDataPower delivers XML acceleration device\nBy Scott Tyler Shafer\nAugust 27, 2002 5:46 am PT\n\nDATAPOWER TECHNOLOGY ON Monday unveiled its network device designed \nspecifically to process XML data. Unlike competing solutions that \nprocess XML data in software, DataPower's device processes the data in \nhardware -- a technology achievement that provides greater performance, \naccording to company officials.\n\nThe new device, dubbed DataPower XA35 XML Accelerator, is the first in a\n\nfamily of products expected from the Cambridge, Mass.-based startup. The\n\nDataPower family is based on a proprietary processing core technology \ncalled XG3 that does the analysis, parsing, and processing of the XML \ndata.\n\nAccording to Steve Kelly, CEO of DataPower, the XA35 Accelerator was \nconceived to meet the steady adoption of XML, the anticipated future \nproliferation of Web services, and as a means to share data between two \nbusinesses.\n\n\"Our vision is to build out an XML-aware infrastructure,\" Kelly said. \n\"The XA35 is the first of a family.\"\n\nKelly explained that converting data into XML increases the file size up\n\nto 20 times. This, he said, makes processing the data very taxing on \napplication servers; DataPower believes an inline device is the best \nalternative.\n\nIn addition to the large file sizes, security is also of paramount \nimportance in the world of XML.\n\n\"Today's firewalls are designed to inspect HTTP traffic only,\" Kelly \nsaid. \"A SOAP packet with XML will go straight through a firewall. \nFirewalls are blind to XML today.\"\n\nFuture products in DataPowers family will focus more specifically on \nsecurity, especially as Web services proliferate, Kelly said.\n\nAccording to DataPower, most existing solutions to offload XML \nprocessing are homegrown and done in software -- an approach the company\n\nitself tried initially and found to be inadequate with regards to speed \nand security. After trying the software path, the company turned to \ncreating a solution that would process XML in hardware.\n\n\"Our XG3 execution core converts XML to machine code,\" said Kelly, \nadding that to his knowledge no other company's solution does. Kelly \nsaid in the next few months he expects the market to be flooded with \ntechnologies that claim to do XML processing -- claims that he believes \nwill be mostly false.\nOther content-aware switches, such as SSL (secure socket layer) \naccelerators and load balancers, look at the first 64 bytes of a packet,\n\nwhile the XA35 provides deeper packet inspection, looking at 1,400 bytes\n\nand thus enabling greater processing of XML data, Kelly explained.\n\nThe 1U-high network device has been tested against a large collection of\n\nXML and XSL data types and can learn new flavors of the markup language \nas they pass through the device.\n\nThe XA35 can be deployed in proxy mode behind a firewall and a load \nbalancer, and it will inspect all traffic that passes and will identify \nand process those packets that are XML, Kelly said.\n\nIn addition to proxy mode, the device can also be used as an application\n\nco-processor. This deployment method gives administrators more granular \ncontrol over what data is inspected and the application server itself \ncontrols the device.\n\nDataPower is not the only company chasing this emerging market. Startup \nSarvega, based in Burr Ridge, Ill., introduced the Sarvega XPE switch in\n\nMay, and earlier this month Tarari, an Intel spin-off, launched with a \nfocus on content processing and acceleration.\nThe DataPower device is now available, priced starting at $54,995. The \ncompany has announced one customer to date and says the product is in \nfield trails at a number of other enterprises.\n\n========================================================================\n=\n\nDataPower has been addressing enterprise networking needs since it was \nfounded in early 1999 by Eugene Kuznetsov, a technology visionary who \nforesaw the adverse effects XML and other next generation protocols \nwould have on enterprise networks. Long before industry interest in XML \ngrew, Kuznetsov assembled a team of world-class M.I.T. engineers and \ndesigned the industry's first solutions to address the unique \nrequirements for processing XML. The first such solution was a software \ninterpreter called DGXT. This software-based approach to XML processing \nis still licensed by many companies for use in their own products today.\n\nLeveraging the detailed knowledge and customer experience gained from \ndeveloping software-based accelerators, Kuznetsov's team raised the bar \nand designed a system for processing XML in purpose-built hardware. In \n2001, DataPower's effort produced XML Generation Three (XG3™), the \nindustry's fastest technology for XML processing, bar none.\n\nToday, XG3™ technology powers the industry's first wire-speed XML \nnetwork devices, enabling secure, high-speed applications and XML Web \nServices. While other companies are just now marketing first versions of\n\nproducts, DataPower is delivering its third generation of technology, \nproviding an immediate return on technology investments to \nindustry-leading customers and partners.\n\nDataPower's M.I.T. heritage is complemented by a management team that \nbrings decades of experience in the networking and computing industries,\n\ndrawing veteran leaders from several successful companies including \nAkamai, Argon, Cascade, Castle Networks, Sycamore and Wellfleet.\n\n========================================================================\n=\n\nDataPower Technology Secures $9.5 Million in Funding\n\nVenrock Associates, Mobius Venture Capital and Seed Capital Back Pioneer\n\nin XML-Aware Networking for Web Services\n\nCAMBRIDGE, Mass. - July 8, 2002 - DataPower Technology, Inc., the \nleading provider of XML-Aware network infrastructure, today announced \nthat it has secured $9.5 million in series B financing. Investors for \nthis round include Venrock Associates, Mobius Venture Capital and Seed \nCapital Partners. Michael Tyrrell, of Venrock, Bill Burnham, of Mobius, \nand Jeff Fagnan, of Seed Capital, have joined DataPower’s Board of \nDirectors.\n\nDataPower will use this funding to accelerate development, marketing and\n\nsales of the company’s breakthrough technology for XML-Aware networking.\n\nFounded in 1999, DataPower invented the world’s first intelligent XML \nnetworking devices, capable of transforming XML traffic and transactions\n\nat the wire-speed enterprises need to effectively embrace Web services \nand other XML-centric initiatives. DataPower’s solutions are based on \nits patent-pending XML Generation Three (XG3™) technology.\n\n\"Enterprises are adopting XML at rapid rate to facilitate inter-and \nintra-company communications but their network infrastructure is ill \nprepared to support the requirements of this new traffic type. \nDataPower’s XML-acceleration devices enable the wirespeed processing of \nXML that is required to support next generation enterprise \napplications,\" said Eugene Kuznetsov, CTO and founder of DataPower \nTechnology.\n\n\"DataPower gives companies the ability to use XML that’s critical to Web\n\nservices projects without sacrificing an ounce of performance.\" A single\n\nDataPower acceleration engine delivers the processing power of 10 \nservers—breaking the performance bottleneck associated with XML \nprocessing and delivering an extraordinary return on investment. In \naddition, the DataPower platform provides enhanced XML security, \nprotection against XML-based denial-of-service attacks, connection of \ne-business protocols for incompatible XML data streams, load balancing \nbetween back-end servers and real-time statistics reports.\n\n\"In the post-bubble economy, technology investment decisions require \nlaser-focused scrutiny. DataPower’s patent-pending technology addresses \na very real and growing pain point for enterprises,\" said Michael \nTyrrell of Venrock Associates. \"By turbo-charging their networks with \nDataPower’s unique XML-Aware networking technology, companies will be \nfree to adopt next generation Web services without encountering \nperformance and security pitfalls.\"\n\n\"We looked long and hard for a company capable of addressing the rapidly\n\ngrowing problems surrounding XML message processing performance and \nsecurity,\" said Bill Burnham of Mobius Venture Capital. \"DataPower is on\n\ntheir third generation of technology. Their patent pending XML \nGeneration Three (XG3) technology was quite simply the single most \ncompelling technology solution we have seen to date.\"\n\n\"XML is not a nice-to-have, it is a must have for enterprises serious \nabout optimizing application efficiency. Since 1999, DataPower has been \ndeveloping solutions to facilitate enterprise use of XML and Web \nservices,\" said Jeff Fagnan of Seed Capital Partners. \"DataPower’s \nXML-acceleration devices are a key requirement for enterprises that rely\n\non XML for mission critical applications.\"\n\nAbout Venrock Associates\nVenrock Associates was founded as the venture capital arm of the \nRockefeller Family and continues a tradition of funding entrepreneurs \nthat now spans over seven decades.

"\nXviD [1] is a project to make GPL divx codecs. Sigma Designs [1] is a\ncompany looking to put out hardware to playback, amongst other things,\ndivx files. Problem is Sigma is using XviDs gpled code in ways not very\ngpl. The results....XviD stops work on thier code and ask the users to\nput preasure on Sigma to honor the GPL.\n\nSome notes from other places....\n\n>>From Doom9 [3]\n\"XviD development has been stopped! The Sigma Designs REALMagic MPEG-4\nVideo Codec contains wide portions of code taken from the XviD project.\nSoon after the initial release of the REALMagic codec the XviD developers\nhave contacted Sigma and informed them about the GPL violation (for those\nwho don't know, XviD is distributed under the GNU Public License - GPL -\nwhich demands that if you modify a GPL program you have to release it\nunder the GPL, which in this case means that the source code of the Sigma\ncodec must be freely available). Sigma promised to replace the stolen\ncode, but the new version of the codec which was released this month only\ndisguises the stolen code, it was not actually removed. Sigma was once\nagain contacted and asked to remove the offending code but until today\nnothing has happened. Therefore the XviD team is now turning to the public\nin the hope to receive wide public support in their efforts to convince\nSigma Designs to respect the terms of the GPL. And until the matter has\nbeen resolved XviD development will not continue.\n\nThat being said I hope all the forum members who saw their threads about\nthe Sigma Codecs being closed will understand our motivation now.\nInternally we already knew what was going on but since the XviD authors\nfirst wanted to try and resolve this internally we respected their wishes\nand kept quiet about the matter at hand.\n\n[Update] Sigma has issued a press release announcing the availability of\nthe source code of their MPEG-4 codec and it's already up for download.\nHowever, not a word was lost about the XviD issue and the press release\nmakes one think that the Sigma codec was entirely developed by Sigma so we\nmight be hearing more about this.\n\n[Update] I found a GPL notice in some of the source code files, but it\nalso looks like Sigma placed their own copyright lines there and XviD\ndoesn't get any credit in the source either. The GPL notice also collides\nwith Sigma's Software Licensing Agreement that you have to sign before\ndownloading codec or source. On on the same issue DivXNetworks said they'd\nfully support XviD in this issue and apparently DXn's relationship with\nSigma didn't really work out either, as Sigma's Xcard is not as DivX\ncompatible as it was advertised.\n\n[Update]First an update on the XviD situation. The release of the Sigma\nsource code does not mean it's all over, it's far from being over. The\nlicense agreement which you have to agree to before you can download, and\ninstall the codec is not compatible with the GPL. Furthermore, it can now\nclearly be seen (download the source code and have a look for yourself)\nthat the Sigma codec is pretty much a copy of the XviD codec, but all the\ncopyright notices of the original developers have been removed and\nreplaced. This does not only violate the GPL but copyright laws - you\ncan't just take a program, change a few lines and change the copyright\nstatements, you only have copyright protection for the parts you wrote on\nyour own. And related to this the Sigma codec also contains code taken\nfrom the OpenDivX project, the files were outfitted with 2 different\ncopyright notices which is quite funny.\"\n\n\n\n[1] http://www.xvid.org/\n[2] http://www.sigmadesigns.com\n[3] http://www.doom9.org/\n\nhttp://xent.com/mailman/listinfo/fork\n\n"

"from http://www.arstechnica.com/\n\n\"There has mostly been talk thus far and little action, but the Department\nof Justice says it may be ready to file criminal lawsuits against\nindividuals [1] who distribute or receive unauthorized copyrighted\nmaterial over the Internet. Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Malcolm believes\nthat \"criminal prosecutions of copyright offenders are now necessary to\npreserve the viability of America's content industries.\" Malcolm also\nbelieves that people who trade copyrighted material think they are\nparticipating in a legal activity. I certainly think people who download\ncopyrighted works understand that such distribution--barring provisions\nsuch as fair use--is not authorized, and it is not surprising to see\nbusinesses continue to look for means to discourage distribution of\ncopyrighted works.\n\n\n\"Some prosecutions that make that clear could be very helpful...I think\nthey would think twice if they thought there was a risk of criminal\nprosecution,\" said [RIAA President Cary] Sherman, who was on the same\nconference panel.\n\nI'm not too confident that lawsuits would have the effect Sherman is\nhoping for. Although infrequent, there have already been civil suits or\nwarnings issued to private individuals, and they have served as minor\ndeterrents to the file-sharing community at large. Criminal lawsuits\ncarrying with them the possibility of prison sentences may generate\nfurther animosity against groups such as the RIAA and may be difficult to\ninitiate because of the \"schooling\" effect of millions of systems\nparticipating in file sharing. Only servers would seem to stand out from\nthe crowd.\n\nThe article cites the No Electronic Theft (NET) Act [2], which defines\nillegal activity and maximum penalties for copyright infringement:\n\n\nCriminal infringement: Any person who infringes a copyright willfully for\npurposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain, or by the\nreproduction or distribution, including by electronic means, during any\n180-day period, of 1 or more copies or phonorecords of 1 or more\ncopyrighted works, which have a total retail value of more than $1,000....\nFor purposes of this subsection, evidence of reproduction or distribution\nof a copyrighted work, by itself, shall not be sufficient to establish\nwillful infringement.\n...\nThe term \"financial gain\" includes receipt, or expectation of receipt, of\nanything of value, including the receipt of other copyrighted works.\n\n\nTherefore, receipt of a work of value would be defined as \"financial gain\"\neven if no money is involved. The NET Act excerpt does not clarify how the\nvalue of a work is determined; an album or movie could be worth only $15\nto millions of dollars depending on whether the value is assessed from the\nperspective of the consumer or copyright holder.\n\nThe statute of limitations:\n\n\n507. Limitations on actions\n\n(a) Criminal Proceedings.--No criminal proceeding shall be maintained\nunder the provisions of this title unless it is commenced within five\nyears after the cause of action arose.\n\n(b) Civil Actions.--No civil action shall be maintained under the\nprovisions of this title unless it is commenced within three years after\nthe claim accrued.\n\nThe penalties are too extensive to list here, but they can be found in\nSection 2319: Criminal infringement of a copyright. In general, first-time\ncriminal offenses will carry a maximum prison sentence of 1 year.\n\nI'm still not sure where the DOJ would start in choosing people to\nprosecute because of the aforementioned \"schooling\" effect, but my guess\nwould be that, just like speeding, primarily the most prominent\nindividuals who operate large servers or transfer the most data will be\ntargeted in order to discourage more recreational file sharers.

In those cases, it's always very hard to get the\nprogrammers to agree on API's, memory management techniques, etc. With\nJava, the JCP takes care of the discussions so that you don't sit around in\na long meeting trying to decide what API to use to hook up to a database\n(JDBC) or a messaging bus (JMS).\n\n\n>3.

"\nI apologize for not catching up to the current code in so long.\n\nNow that I have I'm trying to resolve \"breakage\" and differences.\n\nThe unseen window seems to have been replaced with the sequences \nwindow. While I appreciate the flexibility of the sequences \nwindow, the unseen window filled an important-to-me need: It \nwas tiny and could be set to show on all desktops of a virtual \nwindow manager without taking a lot of space. Since my normal \nmode of operation involves two copies of exmh displaying on a \n1024x768 vnc session, screen space is at a premium.\n\nAs things stand now, I have a sequences window that shows a lot\nmore information than I need to have handy and takes up a lot \nmore room than I can \"spare\".\n\nI can see that I could like the new sequences window a lot for \ncertain operations. But I'd like a nice uncluttered, tiny \nwindow that _only_ shows me info on my unread mail.\n\nOne possibility that occurs to me would be a button or mouse\nclick that \"shrinks\" the Sequences window to show only the\nsequences in the \"always show\" list.
