You forgot about the nuclear bombs. Why sire a new society when you can just vaporize it? I suppose you'll try to make another comparison regarding civility and how it matters in how "bad" or "worse" one war is than another. When you do, don't forget to blame Islam.
DPI doesn't necessarily mean that it happens before a switch or router forwards a packet. Flows of traffic can be analyzed separately from the processes of a router or switch in making packet forwarding decisions. This separate analysis can influence adjustments to QoS rules. So, no, DPI does not necessarily interfere with all traffic.
An IP address DOES identify a computer- but not the way the judge thinks. My IP address identifies my router, which in turn owns 5 to 6 computers. With the wireless open, it could refer to the whole neighborhood, for all I know/care. They need to revise, an IP address identifies a NETWORK, but not neccessarily conclusively any particular computer.
You say that "an IP address does identify a computer" and then argue that it does not. It's much less confusing to just say that an IP address DOES NOT identify a computer--and it does not identify a computer, a customer, or anything other than a logical endpoint of a tcp/ip network. This is especially true when the IP address is not statically assigned. A lot of people like to think about IP addresses as accounting tools, when they are really not meant to serve as such. People also like to think that a DHCP server's logs can be used as a way to make IP addresses into accounting tools, but they would also be wrong. For example, a cable internet subscriber can usually make use of his internet connection regardless of being assigned an IP address as long as his cable modem is authorized and his computer assumes an IP address that is valid for his network segment (and isn't a duplicate of another address currently in-use). In such a case (and it does happen quite often), there would be no accountability for that subscriber to the ISP as far as IP addresses in the DHCP server logs are concerned.
You propose that ISP's should count packets tied to a subscriber account in such a real-time fashion as to put this logic to use in rewriting the packet headers in-transit?
Once you're done actually building a system even capable of that, how do you keep such a bad-ass future network from becoming Skynet?
Real-time accounting is hard enough--having the networking devices actually make decisions about header mangling based on that accounting on a packet-by-packet basis is not something that exists yet and isn't going to invent itself for free or cheap.
Perhaps you're not clued into the whole freedom to choose thing yet. You do mean to suggest taking away choice because when software is no longer developing, it falls behind and falls out of usefulness. If you want a single desktop then go the fuck back to windows, asshole!
I don't know about the rest of you, but one of the biggest reasons I like linux is that there are far less blithering fools using linux. If linux were "mainstream" or even *prays for death* "pop" I would have to find a new hobby. Opensource and linux are about the most american and patriotic things to happen in my lifetime and I'd hate to see it ruined by uber capitalists.

What you do if you have a really slow computer is you build a cross-compiler on a faster computer and just build your software for your slower one with the faster one.
the preemptible kernel patch will clear those mp3 playback issues right up, that patch has taken my desktop experience to a new level and on older hardware:)
I've been using linux for nearly 7 years and the 2.4 tree has been pretty buggy for a stable kernel. 2.2 was always pretty rock solid for me, and 2.4 was quite unuseable for me until after 2.4.7 when SCSI emulation and loopback filesystems started working for me again. I think 2.4 was a bit rushed, but I'm glad it was, I will start experimenting with the unstable trees now, its much more exciting!
Sanitizer is probably the best software out there for completely obliterating data with extreme prejudice. It will absolutely destroy every bit on a hard drive, you won't even be able to read the edges of the data tracks for the erased data. It makes unwanted data disappear forever.

Yes, but you could move between them like Sliders.

Maybe "404" is now a figure of speech meaning something is broken or not available.
