I respond to your posts later, but I just have to respond to one thing, I guess any one that dissagress with you is a kid? That is a good one, well to let you know off the bat I am 27. Ok for now I am off I have to get to work, but I will respond to your links later, maybe after I get home tonight.
Sure semes like the world is aganst you look at dictionary.com for software piracy and it just says see software theft Same type of stuff (I tried looking for music theft and music piracy, but they don't have those terms, so I had to use software, but today, the situation is the same)
Well sorry to pop it to you but according to dictinoary.com To take (the property of another) without right or permission. and to download a movie is to take without permission, sounds like it meets the definition of stealling to me.
Dont be so sure wires will save you from RF snopping. Wires leak RF all the time. In my last job, I would use my ham radio all the time. Well I would some times get some static, I did a small little "fox hunt" and found the source of the static. When I got close to the cables for the security system, it went from static to digital. If I had the proper equipment I could have turned that digital signal into a video stream. all this from a non-wireless system. Might keep some one off of using your network, but if they have a reciver that can work on weak signal systems you can be snopped on just as easy.
Ok lets run with this, if you see a board casted "linksys" or "default" ssid, which I am sure most of these are, can you use it, since the user is not knowing they have that? it like if you buy a house with said sign on your drive way, did you give promition to the person parking there? Would you be in your right to have them remove thier car, and if they did not move it, would you be in your right to call the cops to have it towed.
Most of the routers today, are sold to be easy to setup. Very little if any info is given, and it is on a CD that comes with it, there is no printed manual, and nothing saying "STOP!!! TO SECURE YOUR NETWORK DO THIS AND THAT" The makers don't do that since they know easy sells. I know now verizon sells packs with a router to its costomers, pre-setup for thier service, now lets say they start doing wireless, how many home users are going to even know that there is a setup for it, I would guess 99% of home users do not even think about the signal leaving thier homes.
What do the 2 have in comman? Ok lets say the war in Iraq is wrong, and lets say that the US is dropping bombs on mosques for the fun of it. That still does not make right what the thief did, 2 wrongs don't make a right. (well unless you want to bomb the mysql company site, I would be all for that, after dealling with their stuff)
But the US is not going after mosques, nor after a religion, it is going after a terror group. but that is just an aside based on what you said.
I should also state, I park in my churches lot because 1) I am a member there 2) I am a trustee there 3) I will at times let the assoiate pastor use my car, so this is a reasonably convent place for him 4) I live very very close to the church (a 5 minute walk away, and in nov I will be in the APT complex right next to it, for me this I look forward to)
I am not a LSD person, never was and never will be, I am a Lutheran (LCMS).
and to park my car in a synogogue, would be wrong and probably would not work. First it would be wrong to use it to make my car safe, and second if the theifs do not respect one religions house of worship what makes you think they would respect anothers.
Does not always work. even in low crime areas (or places you would think to be lower in crime)
Take for instance I lock my car doors all the time, at night I park in my churches lot (you think people would have a bit of respect for a house of worship) well 2 Sundays ago I find that over night my car radio was stolen, they brock into the car via the close window, while the car was parked in the churches lot. People who want to break the law are not going to be stopped by locks or web and mac address filtering.
finally some one sees this as a real problem. For now the best solution (the one I also use) is to secure your network.
Maybe I am in the minority but I see stealing bandwidth, the same way as stealing movies off line, it seams like you hurt no one, but you are still stealing, no amount of justifying is going to change that
What about all the other 3rd party canidates, you can not just alowe one in and not the others, if they claims are right all the people running should be invited, but of cource that would eather make the debate meaningless, there are 6 people running for pres if I remember right, and if the debate is 2 hours long that is a total of 20 minutes each, or if you want to give each canidate 45 minutes of talk time then that would make the debate 4 1/2 hours long. Ya it would be intersting, but would the average american watch that long, heck I am supprised any average americans watch the other debates in full.
How tight or loss will this definition be??? can any organization apply for it. Or will it be only for government spy agencies? How about foreign ones? The article has this line in it " The House bill approved Tuesday explicitly permits snooping software built by the FBI (news - web sites) or spy agencies secretly collecting information under a court order or other legal permissions affecting federal departments." Ok which courts? US? ones, how about if N. Kora spy agency got court orders to investigate some one in the US (ya right really like this will happen but just for the sake of the question please give me this one) will that be allowed? Now how about company X higher a company in China, that gets a general court order there to do spy ware, and lets say for further argument, lets say this chines corp gets "classified" a spy agency? Is that legal, or is the lay written that only US spy agencies? How about the spy agencies ones from our friends to the North Canada, lets say they are investigating some one that is part of organized crime there, but lives in the US? Or is this just another feel good law, like the can spam law? I would hope this does decrease spyware (but how many of these spyware organizations are just going to move off shore?) I am tired of cleaning it off of friends computers, (one reason I make it a part of my procedure, no mater what I do, I install spywareblaster)
This is clear intent to use some one else's name to generate traffic and money for your site, which I believe is a clear violation of (the correct reading) copyright laws. I would say (and I know many on Slashdot will hate me for this) this is the correct ruling. It is like if I try to get slashdo.org, and put up a anti Slashdot site, I would be in violation of copyright laws, and the owners of Slashdot would be fully in their rights to sue me to take said site down. Not that I am a Falwell follower, he being a TV preacher, probably one of those decision theologies, and/or send me money to be saved, which I would say both are wrong.
Also forgot to put this in, the network will some times, "just stop working" thanks to a pull of the plug. Also Non-Broadcasting SSID (ok it will take maybe only about.5 milliseconds for that to be defeated)
But I use all I can do to stall
NonBroadcasting SSID WEP at 128 Mac Address Filtering Located in an area so that it has weak signal by the time it gets to the inside walls. And it is to the people around unreliable, it could go out for a whole day, or weekend (when I am out of town, or don't care to get on the internet.)
Done, but WEP can be cracked and MAC's can be cloned. but I just want to make sure the best I can, if some one wants into a wireless network they will get in, I just want to make it very hard for them so that they go on to the next network.
That just might be the anser for me

I am selfish, if I pay for my net access, no war driver is allowed on. Right now I am just trying to be harder to get in then my neibores.
which I put here to get all the spam I would get here, I don't read it my main email is mpop at mikeoconnor dot net if you go to my web site you will see that is what I list, I just put the gmail there for the fun to see how good the spam fillters are there, so far about 50 spams have gotten though out of about 1000. the gmail account is my one and only though away account, it has no value to it, and some day I will just stop checking it.
Hay if you want if you have a spammed account just forward the spam there, lets see how badly we can blast it with spam, spam m.p.oconnor@gmail.com I don't care about it, I don't use it, I check it maybe once a week to see how baddly it has been hammard
where did I say they had to code it??? Or where did they say they have to run their own server (I did say I would like to run mine on my own server some day)??? I just said why use others software on others people sites. I am sure 99.99% of people have friends that know people that are good at computers, and get them setup up with their own site, and get the software for them, and make the custome changes that they ask for. I have done web work for others, for free.
I don't know why people would do blogging on other poeple's sites, I do mine over at my one site, That way I can change the code of the software if I want, (which I have a little bit, but 99.99999% of the code is still untouched bblog software)
I admit I pay others to host my site, I would like some day to bring the hosting off of another persons computers and get the bandwidth and server 100% under my control, but for now this is an acceptiable solution.
But I given up hope that anything good for fair use will come out of washington, The momentum from the clinton era is to strong now. And if Kerry gets in, he is bound to help his contributers back at hollywood, also (as much as I like Bush) Bush will not be any better, I don't think he has the time to look into and understand the issue at hand. Both canadates will not be good for fair use laws (better elect on other [more] important issues] So at this point I not going to worry about fair use anymore, it is dead, I will now give up (acturaly have a while back) and buy the DRM stuff (read iTMS, because atlest they are giving some ok rights to the user, read 5 computers can be autorized)

They don't, but they try to pass laws all the time that would. Also read the rest of my comment, how about local corps that high outside corps.
