Which would have cost him around $52/day for unlimited internet. (assuming a 12 month contract, not a 24 month one)
I do what the OP does when I goto the US as well, I'm starting to get quite a collection of t-mobile sims though. It's a pity you cant just reactivate them.
You do realise that this site (youhavedownloaded.com) doesn't record your private IP address if you are hidden behind a NAT device right ? and that DHCP leases will expire (and renew) and that your modem doesn't have to 'reboot' or 'crash' in order to get a new public IP address, and that, depending on the access technology and the time it happens, you may not even notice a new public IP address change ?
Also, if you fire back with 'but I have a static public IP address' then none of your arguments make sense anyway ?
Oh, and you may want to do some research into how worms work, I'll give you a starter.
Sadly, thats incorrect, there are cases where people have been tortured and kidnapped for messing with these criminals
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2008/08/hacker-reported/ is one such case, another i dont have the link for right now involved a reporters daughter being kidnapped, put on drugs and sent to work in a brothel for 5 years. The hacker con ruxcon in Australia had a talk on it last year, no country is safe when dealing with real criminals. They will find and kill you for disrupting their business.
I had a long drawn out reply to this that got eaten. You'll have to live with the short form, sorry.
Your 1300 quoted is only half the text, you should read and consider the rest in the context it was said. People are trying to claim that the cables reveal names of possible informants who's lives subsequently become in danger. Can you please point to where the Kenya cables listed these 1300 people ? or was it possibly that the data highlighted corruption in the government that subsequently lead to an uprising in which 1300 people were killed ? Hopefully I really don't need to point out the difference to you in finer detail.
Added to this, I am puzzled by the focus on Assange as a figure to hate. In all the releases up until recently (and there is a reason that changed - Thanks Guardian, not Assange) the media were handling the releases, not Assange, if there were names not redacted, then the Media outlets that posted the cables are responsible for any harmful outcome, not Assange. If you want to hold Assange responsible then you could also equally hold the original leaker responsible, as well as the people that improperly secured the data, and while you are at it, the embassy for not obsficating things a little better, or maybe the original government that perpetrated these crimes (or individuals in many cases).
Why the hate on Assange ? it almost seems irrational.
Following that logic, so too would the US State Department
Can we also blame the Guardian and anyone that downloaded the files ?
Also, has anyone actually been hurt from this as yet ? or is this more posturing on the side of the ignorant masses ? (that's actually a serious question)
Bolivia is one such incident. It was put in place by the world bank who demanded as part of a loan to get them back on their feet they privatise the water system and used to charge people up to 1/4 of their income on water. It was illegal to collect rainwater.
Kinda reminds me of the kier/cha0 story which you can read here - Quite scary stuff. There are other events like this out there as well involving organised criminals kidnapping people who started investigating their links with malware and botnets.
Why? Can you dispute the original comment, rather than making another stupid anti-America rant? Haiti certainly benefited from our parking a giant hospital ship off of its shores, and while we were doing all that, other countries were complaining that we had created "too large" a presence there (meanwhile sending no aid of their own) as if thousands of dead or dying people could give a damn about that. In fact, they wanted more of our help.
Sorry, I don't normally post, and not getting into the 'hate America' thing as I don't particularly believe that, but you may want to check your facts on who was involved in helping Haiti.
Health insurance and nationally run health services do not have to be mutually exclusive. In New Zealand we have a national health system and yet people still get private health cover in order to look after the points you highlighted.
Infact, if my memory serves me correctly, after the "save the children by downloading this filtering software" failed dismally, the Howard government started to propose a filtering system put in at the ISP level.
This link has an article that mentions an ISP level filter to detect pervs and predators that use the internet to prey on children. Over time this has simply evolved into what you have now - I really don't think that voting National or Labour would have made a difference to this program going ahead.
And here appears to be your problem
Now speaking about terrorism, having nothing to do with the US and Islamic fundamentalists, I agree that fighting an idea is pretty stupid and a huge waste of time. However, that is what people who engage in terrorist activities are doing. They are not content to have meaningful dialog, leave peacefully, or to accept in any way shape or form the "idea" that others can live without conforming to their ideological and political agendas. Society cannot fight those people. It has to separate them from society by expulsion, incarceration, or death. You cannot kill an ideal, if you do then it simply springs up elsewhere, 'seperating these people from society by expulsion, incarceration or death' simply doesn't work, history has shown us this, why try to repeat it fruitlessly ? and this is the exact same problem the current US administration has as well, so really, your stance is no different abeit that you may be doing the 'seperating, expulsion incaceration and/or death' for different reasons.
As I said earlier, if you want to fight terrorism (being, as you said just now)
"The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons." Its really easy, simply don't let them intimidate or coerce you into something you wouldn't normally do.
I know for some people this means playing the 'i have a bigger stick than you' game, but one of the easiest ways to not be intimidated really is just to ignore them, eventually they will give up and go away.
It always takes two to have a fight. Why are you so eager to ensure those two parties exist so we can have our conflict ?
If I did not make it clear before, I am wholeheartedly enthusiastic about "killing the shit" out of anybody else on this planet that would dare threaten my freedom here in the US. I would rather die defending this country and its freedoms than give in to fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Has it ever entered your head that they may be having the exact same attitude toward the western world ? (not to mention that it's not them removing your freedoms, but your own administration, maybe you should take your anger out on the right crowd.)
nice attempt at a diversion, but please, don't use the word 'terrorism' if you don't mean it (and yes, if you read your original post you used it and then changed/omitted it in your reply)
Oh, and did you ever think that fighting an idea is about as stupid as.. well, pretty much anything.
I guess it is good to be a little patriot and soak up what your glorious leaders tell you tho eh.
carry on then.
You are correct in that solving terrorism is not an easy thing to do. Solving Islamic fundamentalist terrorism is easier to solve than just plain old "terrorism" though. Or you could just stop being afraid.. novel concept I know.

They've already tried that two or three times and failed miserably at it.

Not the first time the world bank has royally screwed up a country. Just ask Jamaica how that's working out for them..
Sorry for the wikipedia links, I'm sure people can find other examples, consider these starters.
Apparently they only give their children a strong talking to, they don't actually sue them.
You do realise that India is around 80% hindu no ?

Unless you transfer to a bank outside Australia, CBA charges $25AUD to send money to a US based bank or NZ based bank.

Android was released 2 years after the iphone ? and then took two years to catch up with the current feature set ?
Lets see now.. Jun 29th 2007 - iPhone released
Today, 14th September, 2009
I think your maths might be slightly out.
Interesting, I guess that means the iPhone 3G I've had that's been running on T-Mobile for the past year has been a clever illusion then.

Does that cost an entire $1 as well ?
