Ahh, Dr. Marks, most memorable class I ever had at the University was a Freshman Seminar he taught titled "The Future of Space Exploration". The guy had been everywhere in NASA and the Air Force, great stories.
Is it alright for an operator to listen in? I know I've been able to get an operator to listen on a line that had been busy for several hours to see if someone was on the line or the phone was off the hook. There's times when it's appropriate for the operators to take a look and sample what's going on.
As an email admin I've taken a look at emails in accounts that were getting excessive amounts of mail to find the source of the mail. Once it was somebody being mail-bombed, and another time somebody had an article published with their email on it. I blocked the first case, and let the second one through.
If you feel an ISP is reading mail, switch ISPs. Thank god we live in a country of choices.
Privacy is a function of reality, not expectation. If you don't want people looking in your windows, you put blinds up, if you don't want the post office casually reading your mail, you put it in an envelope, if you don't want people on scanners listening to cell conversations you use a land line.
I know that peeping toms, reading others mail, and scanners are illegal in most places, but you can't rely on laws to protect you from these things, you still have to be prudent in your own actions. Also, these laws only help you after the fact, once the cat is out of the bag, you can't get it back in.
Just because the average Joe is currently ignorant of the ramifications of clear-text doesn't mean we should legislate around ignorance, it means we've failed as an IT community to educate the masses.
Assuming the ISP won't help you out with a real IP, I'd recommend using OpenVPN. Fairly straightforward to install and configure. And it's supported on all the major OS's with the same config files on each.

People!!! If this ruling went the other way, ISP's wouldn't be allowed to read the email at all, which would mean that we couldn't look at headers to see where it's destined, and we couldn't look at the bodies of emails to check for spam and virus. Things that most ISP users are very grateful for.
Some FYI for those unfortunate enough not to live in my fair city.
Alamo hosts many different film festivals in addition to their usual odd fare. Some of these festivals are of the 24 hours variety, I would appreciate being able to stay connected while watching B-grade movies that Harry Knowles or Quentin Tarantino find interesting.
Alamo also has a bit of a lounge/bar area that you can escape to (with laptop perhaps) if the movie isn't doing it for you. Another nicety when watching a marathon movie fest.
Don't forget that this movie had the most blatant product placement that I can remember seeing in ages. I now keep a bottle of Head & Shoulders on me at all times to fight my two worst enemies: those damn dragon things in the mall, and my dandruff.
I'm just wanting my phone to share info with other nokia phones. They got the IR doohickey, but I doubt it will be used. I don't think it's even attached internally.
Guess I just need to wait for all those protocols to get developed.
Don't knock the Lege, it's one of the great sources of entertainment every other year here in Austin. If anyone wants me to go sit in on one of these stupid hearings, I'd be glad to since I was recently laid off by the lovely tech industry.

Dupe of an article in the developers section. Did the matrix just have a glitch or is it just deja vu all over again.

Europe is 1, us Americans get screwed with 2
I would say since the call is terminated in Britain that they should be liable under Britain's laws.
In the states we're used to this kind of problem between states, guess that's why we have a federal goverment to work out the interstate issues.
I can do almost everything online short of actually going to class. Yet we're not even ranked. I call complete bullshit on this article.

I feel my analogy still holds.
Right now all email is essentially postcards. There is no envelope (i.e. encryption) on most email.
Would anyone here be upset if the mailman read a postcard that they sent from Paris to their friend back home?
So a half terabyte array. Not that much difference in thinking.
No, I believe this is just the visualization stuff, I think you have to pay for the countermeasures.

Read the nanog lists. Those guys always get quick reports of net problems.
You may actually be thinking of echo.
When do we got to mod the articles themselves as flamebait. Much more of this crap and slashdot is going to News for Weenies, Stuff that Bores.

Didn't the lead investigator on the Perry Mason show have a car phone? The show is black and white and definitely before 1975

They only meet for 3 months every two years. I'm not too worried that the Legislature is out of the reach of the masses.
