There's plenty of other things which can cause disproportionate network usage. I'd probably just turn on Tor and tell it that I have, say, 4 Mbps to share and I'm fairly sure that it will look like I'm downloading something... What's traffic analysis going to do then?
Doesn't matter, unless every country's search site is better for their citizens than every other one. For the most part, if North Korea makes a search site better than Google, I think you'll find an awful lot of American traffic heading to North Korea whether the US wants it or not. (Or until Bush makes an executive order to make a big American firewall to keep out terrorists and then blocks North Korea, anyways).
Well, if it was just "loose", you could argue that it _is_ just a random letter...which happens to be "o", and making a new word. Likewise for "lose", if taken in a vacuum. Both together, however, make it a little less likely a typo.
As far as I know, there's not a single F/OSS license that in any way, shape, or form limits what you can produce using the software.
Photoshop does not limit what you do with the pictures you make using their software.
Likewise, neither does GIMP limit what you do with the pictures you make.
I know, most are, but please consider: not all MS Windows users are idiots.
As a "power user" (power user enough that I also use Linux (mostly) and FreeBSD (rarely), too), sometimes I need to do a bunch of admin actions, and I don't relish having to type in a password half a dozen times or more on such occasions; I would much rather switch accounts and happily do my business, reboot (because stuff of that magnitude usually requires 1 or more), and go back to my normal user to look at porn or whatever.
I wouldn't object to Whitehouse plans being made public or my house being taken off-file at City Hall, really...
Actually, I want those blueprints put on the internet, honestly...
Isn't hiding Whitehouse plans effectively security-by-obscurity?
On the other hand, I'm not going to be posting using my full name here...
Actually, you guys are spewing out ideas all more complex than the actual product. This is just a HTTPS encrypted website, where the pages served up don't show the header and message together. Everything else is standard HTTPS. So, no, there's no SMTP. Of course, HTTPS isn't impervious to MITM attacks, as we all know.
Oh...and you're taking their word for it that its being deleted. Even they do what they claim, I think if we turn some half-clue'd forensics guys loose on their servers, they'll find all sorts of interesting stuff on those servers (well, interesting to _someone_).
And yes, screenshots are possible (they're in the demo afterall), but those are rather useless (because headers and content aren't shown together at any one time on the screen). Video-screen-capturing software might serve the purpose that screenshots used to serve, or even just a camcorder pointed at the screen; but again, both stills and video (of both sorts) can be conceivably faked as far as evidence goes. MITM seems like the easiest way to go as far as just seeing what they see, I think.
If VaporStream is smart, they've got someone reading this and filing away improvements as fast as they can...

Yeah, but nerds/geeks are still going to be the losers in the eyes of all the hot girls. Sorry buddy.

It will actually rotate a full 360 degress, not 180 and back, over the course of 7 days, at a rate of 5mm a second.
If recent news is any indication, voting machines are rigged for the one-party system...
