... a +1 or +2 Inciteful mod.

Right. Keep this in mind the next time you get your laptop confiscated by Customs for having a copy of nmap on it.

Not automatically. If its uploaded to a server from outside the USA and the server itself exists outside the USA, no export was involved.

This just pushes the remaining development of such tools out of the USA.

Not me. I have problems getting Slashdot to not repeatedly load its main page while I'm scrolling through the articles.

Be careful what you wish for. You could end up with Python.

So, why wasn't our sale of US uranium mines toi Canada made with restrictions on resale or the right of a veto?

I have an old Vizio that has a really nice 24 hour content guide for OTA broadcasts. But the TV set is getting close to it's end of life, so I started looking for the same feature in a new one. Cannot have. Now, you need an app that fetches the listing information over a broadband connection. So advertisers can attach stuff and track what you are watching.
