I doubt they can charge the companies. You probably couldn't even sue them unless they hasd a contracted privacy agreement.
Everyone else will be charged except the FBI agents who were running the ring. This seems like a repeat of what happened when the FBI bombed the world trade center '93.
No doubt the solution will be the absolute censorship on the internet and the collecting of all possible personal data on every individual from the second they are born to the second they die.
>> This points out the obviousness that the US government is no longer bound by the tenets of what was called "democracy", a concept that is fundamentally at odds with the concept of "sovereignty".
I think the word you are looking for is "justice" not "democracy" like this:
'This points out the obviousness that the US government is no longer bound by the tenets of what was called "justice", a concept that is fundamentally at odds with the concepts of "sovereignty" and "government"'
"democracy" is "sovereignty". The "sovereignty" of the mob.
Yes. Exclusive to 400 lb toddlers with poor hygiene who like to duck their head in the sand and spout communist propaganda while they wet dream about vapor ware, completely absorbed in their psychotic disorders and completely unaware of anything going on in the world.
The sad thing is that for a bunch of dorks, no one here really knows jack crap about technology or anything else. You'd think spending that much time in front of a computer they would eventually learn something, but all I see is just a bunch of Apple, perl, and php fan boys sitting on their stupid, lazy, irrelevant asses.
It's nice to know that in a time when the entire world is being overrun by nazi fucks bent on world domination, and the public is being mind-fucked at an unfathomable rate, at least we can count on Slashdot to keep us abreast of pertinent issues.
Yes. Only the fascist state has a right to privacy or property. Americans should drink their Apple, AT&T, and Google flavored Kool-aid, learn to lick the boots of their betters, and keep believing the things they are told on CNN.

Socialism is anti-social. The fact that you do not recognize it as such is indicative of the degree that you have been brainwashed by the Orwellian language used in state schools. This is a unique opportunity for you. You have an opportunity here to be one of the first Americans to extract their head from their anus.
To clarify:
Socialism: The armed robbery of one portion of the population in order to hand the funds over to another portion of the population.
"SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.
Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer." - Thomas Paine
A copyright protects an individual work. It's nothing like a patent. When someone produces a book or a song, a copyright on that material does not prevent other people from producing books or songs.
>> patents ensure the inventor of an invention gets paid without big business copying his ideas to build products and making millions off someone else's brains for free.
Sorry, but who cares? Regardless of the individuals or cmpany's size, they still don't have a right to be handed a monopoly by the state. You cannot reconcile the logic of patents with the logic of personal property rights (a.k.a. freedom). If the state has a right to grant a monopoly to an individual or company, where does the warrant come from (other than an arbitrary emotional con of "protecting the little guy")? If someone can produce a product better, faster, cheaper, they have a natural right to do so, without someone holding a gun to their head. If you really believed in individual rights you would be opposed to ALL patents, since patents are antithetical to freedom.
"That's called logic. It will help you." - Bill Hicks
1. A patent is a MONOPOLY granted by the state to a particular individual or business, which is then enforced through violence. 2. All patents are therefore, aggressive acts of violence against a free market: i.e. examples of anti-social behavior (see DSM-IV). 3. If all patents are expressions of an anti-social personality disorder, then all patents (not just software patents) are fundamentally insane by definition. 4. Therefore, the sane thing to do would be to abolish all patents immediately.
>> Ugh....we've inherited a site that does just that.
Hang in there trooper. Just remember that the world isn't all bad. There are still lots of people out there who care and are trying to make a difference.
With ideas like this, it hard to understand why GM is going under and becoming the laughing stock of the entire world economy. No seriously, this isn't a sign of bat shit insanity on the part of GM executives, its really a brilliant idea. At least, they will have something completely worthless to offer GM long timers when GM refuses to pay their health benefits and pensions.
1. That mirrors were created to offload traffic. 2. That a collision-free message digest is a guarantee against tampering, provided that the message digest itself has not been tampered with. 3. That the size of a message digest is typically several million times smaller than the size of the package. 4. That the obvious solution is for the vendor to mirror the packages but maintain control over message digest package signatures, thereby insuring that a mirror cannot tamper with a package. Then, the package manager can go to any mirror to select a package, but must return to the vendor to verify the integrity of the package.
Anyway, there should probably be a trust network and/or independent certification for mirrors also. Hopefully the authors will post something useful, like a detailed explanation of the strengths and weakness of each of the package managers.
>> We can't afford universal health care because imagine the tax dollars that would be spent; but we can pay for this kind of arbitration? And how exactly is having a PI license going to better the situation at hand, which is obviously that tech people can unethically snoop through customers' files? Does having a license magically make this ok?
You obviously don't understand what is going on. The purpose of this legislation is:
1. To increase the cost for goods and services through the arbitrary exercise of fascist aggression against small businesses and individuals, thereby lowering the standard of living for everyone who is not a parasitic bureaucrat and forcing people to work longer and harder to pay more taxes (note: this is of course, the motivating factor behind all government policy). 2. To increase the scope of the panopticon fascist dystopia by creating another class of government informant to join the ranks of police, military, and telecommunications employees already goosestepping their way around north america.
Of course, the real reason is to protect you from the terrorists. Of course.

Mock con-call:
YouTube: Are you serious?
IOC: Not Really. We're just trying to see how fascist we can be before people start complaining.
YouTube: So are we. Ideally, we like to engage in political censorship without the public even knowing about it.
Larry Silverstein: Maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.
IOC: Ok.
YouTube: ok.
Silverstien: Good. I have one of my puppets over at Standford Law, do a write up about YouTube and the IOC being the champions of democracy.
YouTube: We have our own puppets at Stanford Law. Didn't you know Stanford is a Banana Republic controlled by Google? The story is already written.
Silverstein: I thought a Banana Republic is were you go to buy khakis.
IOC: You've been watching too much YouTube.
YouTube: Seriously.
Silverstein: Are we agreed then?
IOC: Yes.
YouTube: Yes.
Silverstein: Alright then. Hail Satan.
