    On the other hand, how are you going to avoid the odd mistake when law enforcement puts 2 + 2 together to make 22?
    What's funny is that "22" is french slang for "the cops are coming"... :) :) :) :)

    And "faire le 22" ("doing the 22") means keeping a lookout for the cops.

    6.3.4 The relationship of these agencies with AUSTRAC may well prove crucial once encryption becomes more pervasive. Major subjects of investigation, whether they be narcotics suppliers or distributors, pornography distributors, money-launderers or terrorists, rely and will continue to rely on the banking system to provide value to their transactions. The 'money trail', provided by credit and smart-cards, not to ignore fly-buys, may well provide a continuously available hand-rail in a darkening investigative world.
    Can somebody explain what the fuck is the big deal with pornography? Seems that the anglo-saxons, with all their trumpeting about "liberty" and "freedom" just can't stomach pictures or movies of people having sex or just being plain naked???

    What the Norwegian did is similar to me driving my Chevrolet Camaro and having my friend sitting in the passenger seat. Then, we pass by a computer store where I know that the owner is selling pirated software. I then tell my friend, "Look at that store. The owner is knowingly selling pirated software". My friend looks at the store.
    How have I committed a crime?
    Er, not a good analogy.

    A beter one would be to tell your friend, "go see this guy so you can get some $ILLEGAL_STUFF".

    And why a Camaro? Why not a Firebird?

    We must learn to work with the artists and record industry, along with the movie industry and others, instead of against them.
    So, this means that we should allow them to search our persons, papers and computers without any hindrance, because we're guilty until proven innocent (private entrepreneurs do not have the money to establish their own equitable justice, so they will do it as expeditiously as possible).
    We have our rights and so do they.
    Let them start respecting OUR fair-use rights; respect is a two-way street.

    But so far, they haven't done much to earn that public's respect.

    You actually can have freedom shoved down your throat, it just takes a whole hell of a lot more force then the US is willing to use these days. Case in point, look at Germany and Japan. These are both nations that were occupied by the US and now are thriving democracies.

    The big difference is that Germany and Japan coalized together to dominate the whole world and destroy Democracy. Their occupation was following their military defeat at the hands of allies, and those allies then formed the United Nations which then mandated the occupation of those countries.

    On the other hand, Irak did not attempt to dominate the whole world, but was threatening the business earnings of the Bush family. Irak did not even present a credible threat to the US or Europe either, so understandably, the UN did not mandate the US to occupy Irak (for this reason, the US secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld has cancelled a trip to Germany because he faces war-crime accusations there). Without worldwide support, the US will see it's situation in Irak becoming more and more of a burden, without ever hoping for assistance from other UN members. This means that the US will not be able to support the long-time commitment an occupation to establish Democracy would require; the most likely result would be a quick handover of sovereignty to the chiites, which will turn Irak into a civil-war mess.

    Hitler did kill 20 million Soviets.
    ...and it's estimated that Stalin himself killed 60 million soviets, if I remember Solzhenitsyn correctly.
    That is true. That is one of the un-spoken genocides. Stalin was just as brutal and inhumane as Hitler yet most people in this country (US) have no idea about that, heck they probably think Stalin is just a brand of Vodka Which proves that jews squeal the louder. No one gives a flying fuck about the people Stalin killed, yet everybody is kissing the jews' asses, and the jews know that, so everytime you cricitize one, you'll be labeled an antisemite. This is how the jews are escaping with murder in Gaza and Cis-Jordania.
