Sweden To Outlaw File Sharing, Crypto Breaking?
Martin Kallisti writes "The Swedish Department of Justice has today proposed a bill to be put into effect, if it passes Parliament, on the 1st of January, 2004. It is in accordance to EU directives, but will also criminalize the downloading of material from the Internet without the explicit permission of the copyright holder. Furthermore, it will become illegal to break cryptos, circumvent copy protection (mod chips et al), copy books, and as I understand it, use software that is designed to help with any of these tasks, and many other things." An anonymous reader points to an English-language article about this Swedish EUCD proposal, which also mentions a hefty $4 levy on blank digital media such as CD-ROMs.
errr excuse sp!
first of all, Harry and Dudley become friends
Harry's mother was a death eater..... She made a promise to Voldemort to seduce James Potter and have a child.... then Voldemort would destroy both James and the Child ending the family line and spirit of Godric Gryffindor for good. Making it no more than a house name at a school. But she fell in love, and went back on the deal, and refused to give up Harry.
Harry belongs to the Order of the Phoenix, where he has the power to bring one person back to life. He can only use this once in his life. Voldemort wishes to use this power, coupled with the power of a black Phoenix to bring back Lilly Potter..... And keep her as one of his minions... (Using the black phoenix, will increase her power... and make her MORE of a dark witch)
Of course Harry wants to bring back his mom too... but without the Black Phoenix.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron become Animagus. Malfoy becomes a POLYmagus heheh... (Some sweet Dueling Club battles that they use there new found abilities.)
Ron gets on the Quidditch team....
The trio (Harry, Hermione, and Ron) break into Azkaban... and perform a rescue
They experience FIRST HAND what it is like to be a DEMENTOR
Malfoy falls in love with an unlikely person and even betrays his father over her.
Ron admits to Harry that he loves Hermione
Harry goes on a date!! And makes out with her!!
The fifth years take there O.W.L.S.
Malfoy shows some sentiment towards Harry, and tells him to be careful, that good enemies are needed... and he wouldnâ(TM)t want for him to die.... and to loose him... as an enemy of course....
One of the Gryffindor's becomes a Death Eater... and excells in his spells and power.
Harry, Hermione and Ron all get a visit from Voldemort
find out that Voldemort is Harry's grandfather
Harry is both.... the Last heir of Gryffindor AND the last heir of Slytherin
find out that Petunia was a witch just like her sister... but never given the chance to go to hogwarts, and her memory wiped clean... of ever having powers... and it goes into more depth on the event that caused her to hate her sister so...
And Dudley of course is also a wizard... but does not know it...
find out what happened with Hermione over the summer that she was so embarrassed about....
one of the Trio is killed (Ron)
An old family friend... and once teacher is killed...
another student is killed

irony? no.
iron? yes.
Sweden for a time was a leader in pig iron production capatilizing on the siemens-martin furnace in the late 1800s.
their abundant forests helped propel them to fame, sometimes referred to as the "pig iron kings"
later in the 1900s *snip*
oh never mind.
sorry. these mushrooms were a bit stronger then i thought.
I work for a company selling network analysers for GSM and UMTS (3G) systems. Our product is not unlike the TCPDUMP network sniffer for IP networks.
First let me introduce the GPRS system. The GPRS core network elements (Base Station Subsystem, Serving GPRS Support Node) is normally stationed far away from each other. BSS is stationed at the site (which could be far away from metropolitan areas), whereas the SGSN resides in the area switching center. They connect to each other by means of a Frame Relay connection, which could be serviced by another vendor (a local ISP, for example).
Buying a Frame Relay connection is more affordable, but since there are privacy issues, operators are forced to turn on a cipher. For troubleshooting purposes, operators would need to look into the signalling traffic for given GPRS subscribers, but they would need to break the cipher.
Our new product line-up includes the deciphering capability for breaking the cipher code in the interface and looking at what's inside. Cracking should be the more correct word.
Are operators in Sweden (we have big customers there) free from breaking the cipher in their own network? Are we even allowed to deliver such a product in Sweden?
If not, we'd be out of business very soon. We have important clients in a big Swedish GSM vendor (guess who), and also the rest of the EU world (which, in my opinion, _is_ the GSM world at the moment).
Anyone in need for a GSM and UMTS support personnel? I need to look for a job.
