In an environment where a physical crime was committed they can exclude people by fingerprints. For example, in a bank vault (an ISP isn't entirely dissimilar with access controls) they could exclude employees but pinpoint the bad guy. The general public doesn't have access to the vault, that doesn't mean the FBI can start opening up safety deposit boxes because they feel like it.
Giving them carte blanche access to the data is beyond the reach of the warrant. Read the article again.
Come directly north to Manitoba, we only put on clothes at -30. A light jacket at -40. Wool socks and mitts when the temperatures start to be announced in Kelvin.
Swell.. now that this the existence of female gamers is common
knowledge, the most common messages in Counter-Strike will be
"A/S/L?!" and "w4nna g0 c4mp1ng 0n 7h47 r00f709?!!!"
Me neither, and I'm using ancient Netscape 4.78 on OpenBSD through a squid/privoxy filter. Oh well, Salon is (was?) owned by MS, they don't need the money.:)
My employer hasn't posted to any of those boards for
ages.
Unqualified people from all over the world would apply for jobs they were obviously not suitable for yet HR has to keep all
resumes on file for $FOO years (I forget the number)
They went from being a good tool to something that generated more work & filing than they were worth.
(This from a casual conversation with one of our HR people)
These large hypervelocity cannons will float in space, but once they make a shot there'll be quite a kickback. Watch for space-cannons landing on the moon.
So these weapons will float up there without an enemy (at the
moment) but once a foreign nation is considered "evildoers" the U.S.
can rain down destruction as their war-machine infrastructure is
already in place.
Naturally the American taxpayers will be
told that this will make the world a safer place.
I'm no legal strategist but wouldn't it be smarter for Infinium
to actually demo one of these consoles then go after HardOCP for
slander/defamation/whatever? Right now it sounds like they don't like
the attacks on their vapourware. My idea assumes, naturally, that
Infinium actuall has a Phantom console to demo...
Infinium needs to shit or get off the pot (ala SCO)
Jokes aside, the story doesn't quote the exact number of people
getting cheques ("More than three millions") so I'll err to averages
that 3.5 millions people will get $13.86. That's $48,510,000. Who
gets the other $18,490,000? The lawyers.
Another nit to pick
is that they'll be giving out 5.6 million CDs. big deal, they can
write that off in the accounting office. What they'll donate are
discs that are sitting in warehouses because of poor sales. After
all, a write off is better than dumping them in a
landfill.
The recording industry isn't taking a bit hit on
this by any stretch, the only ones to profit are the lawyers.

Being scientists the touchy-feely "reach
out" approach won't work. They'll have to come up with solid data to
refute these claims.
Money is a double edged sword: it's
necessary for science & research but it can warp the results to be
more business friendly.. and if the results are skewed then it's not
science, it's bullshit.

Shouldn't Open Source just be considered competition? After all, it's just code. The automakers in Detroit seem to be doing fairly well, even with cheap foreign competition.
The software companies have gotten fat and lazy. Open Source came at them from left field and they still can't figure out how to honestly fight it. That's why they go crying to the politicians after contributing money to their campaigns.

Umm.. That won't work. Unless you have use for a file with a single 0x0A in it...

~30 below is when it starts being a real problem.
Come directly north to Manitoba, we only put on clothes at -30. A light jacket at -40. Wool socks and mitts when the temperatures start to be announced in Kelvin.
So the FBI took the machines and were able to copy and peruse all data on the system, not just the data the warrant was for. Welcome to 1984!
It's been done.
I use nano, and I flame the pico users!
Pfff. Real men cat > filename and do it right the first time.
One could use the apropos command for a start.
Does anyone else see this as an attempt to make an issue out of a non-issue?
That's the nature of the politically correct world we live in. Soon you'll see:
The Gay Quake 3 Arena Championship
African American Counter-Strike
Unreal Tournament (Kosher Rules)
etc etc etc I'm only half joking here.

Only $149.00 for annual license for one CPU, eh?
An annual license is great, the few people that pay will only have to pay once.
If it can move around a vacuum cleaner it would be of some use..

Personally I'm not concerned, my tinfoil hat doubles as a Faraday cage.

Just a thought. (if any HPers read this and use it I want one for the idea)

the defendants in the suit are also giving 5.6 million CD's to educational programs.
I bet these will be the first CDs to sport the New & Improved FBI Anti-Piracy Seal

Back in the day (early 80s) we'd copy whole tapes, FBI warning and all. Didn't seem to scare us teenage evildoers.
Hmm.. someone's at my door.
Skywalker Ranch.. you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
