And the word "piracy" has been applied to unauthorized copying of books since at least 1735. I own an old copy of the London Magazine that contains the usage.
So the biometric information used to identify an individual can't be stolen? How is that possible? I can change a password, and I can replace a hardware token.
I've had the same experience running my own pair of iRedMail servers in FreeBSD jails. It was easy to set up, and not hard to secure. I haven't had trouble with spam so far, and it has allowed me to migrate off of gmail. Setting up failover took a little work, though.
It's a P25W with 16 GB RAM and 3T SSD (I dual boot with a Steam-only Windows install). I don't care about the nvidia card in OpenBSD-- the Intel card works fine with xfce. I haven't figured out how to make the internal speakers work, but I use headphones pretty much exclusively anyway. Linux has trouble with the trackpad, and both the internal wired and wireless NICs fail to work under FreeBSD.
Another anecdote: I had the same experience with my new Gigabyte laptop. OpenBSD 5.6 supported the hardware better than FreeBSD or Linux (Qubes-OS, which is based on Fedora). I ended up running OpenBSD on my laptop and FreeBSD on my servers: one leased physical box with lots of jails, and one hosted VM for redundancy.
I'd like to run OpenBSD on my servers, but acquiring the dozen or so machines I need for service separation is just not cost effective or resource efficient.
Cory Doctorow also put together a well-written account of his views in the recently published "Information Doesn't Want to Be Free: Laws for the Internet Age." He covers DRM, copyright, publishing, the music industry, etc. The book's target is aspiring artists, but the general audience will find it valuable as well.
It's about time they did this. Harvard's was about the only major library that didn't allow Z39.50 access to their full MARC21 records. As a private individual with a large rare and antiquarian book collection, I welcome the news, since I've found that Harvard sometimes has the only other copy of a book I'm cataloging. A few other libraries require you to jump through some hoops to get to the data (British National Library, for example), but Harvard was shutting everyone other than faculty and alumni out.
