Maybe in your Bizzaro world you have this thing called Innocent until Proven Guilty... But here in the real world its Guilty until Proven Innocent unfortunately.
Yeah I recently built a computer for my cousin that had on-board Dolby 5.1 surround sound. Now I've never used Surround Sound personally but the fact that this is already built in would make me more inclined to do so and without the assistance of a crappy PCI card vendor going the way of the dinosaur.
You know... If they try to get their hands on the source code for the bot... He could very easily pull the legal ninjitsu that those drunk drivers have and demand the full source code for WoW so he knows what he's defending himself against.
Could do it with a good old packet sniffer and some smarts... Also you can buy a copy of WoW, rip it to an ISO and examine the code byte by byte without ever clicking 'I accept' on the EULA.
Besides isnt there a way for them to invalidate the >a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070129-8728.html">Modular Operating System Patent since Linux *IS* prior art since you can compile things as modules that only get loaded when needed or recompile the kernel to add more stuff you need or remove crap you dont need (like HAM radio drivers and crap)?
Hasnt Linux been doing this since before version 1?
Unfortunately that only works if they dont know where the leak comes from. In this case it would obviously be a higher ranking IT member or basically the one lone guy they told to go do it.
Leaking that information is all they need to be labeled a terrorist and its off to Gitmo with them for some waterboarding practice.
Actually it is Illegal to even ATTEMPT to download Child Porn now... The FBI is already getting warrants for fake hyperlink honeypots now just look at This Article
After all if they click on it then its your IP thats being attached to it and your door the FBI is knocking down and you thats going to PMITA Federal Prison not the guy cruising around outside your home clicking on these links.
The fact is they're doing this just because it makes it difficult for law enforcement to pin a IP/MAC address to an individual (or house). After all it is a lot easier to hit a stationary target than a mobile one.
But dont worry they'll enact the 'Think of the Children' argument... I mean what if these kids got unfiltered access to the internet they might download porn or upload pictures of themselves naked and have to be registered as sex offenders for life!
No I think the 'turnaboutisfairplay' tag is a result of them being DDoS'ed because authentic Shareaza installations constantly probe for updates once a day, but if it does not receive a valid response it reprobes again in like a minute or something. With millions of Shareaza installations out there its probably hitting them pretty hard.
On the other hand... It seems like this might become a useful 'protection' tactic for P2P and other open source projects which probe for updates to use. That way if anyone hijacks your DNS they'll be DDoS'ed by legitimate users.
Unfortunately this wont help for tests where there are already established easily detected stuff... What it will help prevent discrimination for is genetic defects and genetic disorders that are difficult or impossible to diagnose without genetic tests like Huntington's Disease (there was a slashdot article about some young woman doing a test in her 20's to tell how much 'time' she had before the disease affected her) and other such things where the only way to tell is a DNA test.
Just like you're screwed with high blood pressure today, you're screwed with it tomorrow. So you have not really gained anything but you are not losing things in the future (IE. the insurance company cant ask you if you knowingly have a genetic disorder)
Or just post all their information online including email addresses and stuff. I'm sure they'll appreciate the flood of offers for viagra and breast enlargement procedures
Workers are demanding to be compensated for their work for 95 years after leaving a business because everything they do is obviously copyrighted to them.

The On switch/button :D
You can get the answer by repeatedly asking 'What does this button do?'
All the US can do is try to stop importing of atomic bombs, then again by then it may be too late.

The big one wasnt observed. At least not directly.
Maybe not 2010... but 2011 when MS decides its time for them to Extort, I mean pay for a new subscription to Windows

The problem is... The Reseller probably does not even own A to B.

Except that a wireless connection is like an open door a bank vault isnt.

Good point, I'd rather support OpenMoko than Apple Computer's iPhone and AT&T.
Why have video on Wikipedia in the first place? I dont go on there to watch videos thats what Youtube is for!

Sure it will... isnt there a tax or levy on blank media in the US that goes straight to the MAFIAA?
