Now, someone please correct me if I'm wrong here, but how is DPI going to help the RIAA? As long as people run encrypted Bittorrent connections, and most clients do, DPI won't tell them anything, right? How can you prove that I'm downloading music, not FOSS if my packets are encrypted?
It's true. If computers evolve to the point where they are effectively never turned off, programmers are going to have to spend a lot more time focusing on memory leaks.
Um... Except that blocking encrypted data would effectively bring down all online commerce... Amazon would be most displeased if SSL were to be blocked. Not to mention corporate VPNs, SSH, etc. as others have mentioned.
Pardon my lack of citation, but I do remember reading an article stating that scientists have almost demonstrated speciation in a laboratory using (I think it was) C. elegans. Would that be enough evidence?
I'm not using it; I'm simply donating my computer's spare bandwidth to others who want to use it. So it's really less terrorism than accessory to terrorism by your definition...:-)
It's like the holy grail for linux users... I didn't think it existed... Thank you...:-) "I'm sorry sir, but you're going to have to provide proof that that asterisk is over the age of eighteen."
"I don't know the command. Must be a bug. Damn buggy open-source software; it just won't reliably work. I updated and now my system is broken. Oh well...":-) As evidenced by my sig, that is not my opinion; it's a joke.
Anyone know where hardware-based encryption falls in regard to US laws? Doesn't the US have limitations (theoretical, not really enforced) on encryption stronger than 64-bit, or is that just software based?

Obviously. I was simply pointing out the hypocrisy.
Do we think that this includes caving to the US government? Thoughts of FBI snooping come to mind...

Oh, I agree that it'd be nice if Pidgin supported MSN, but this is kinda the price one has to pay for using the MSN protocol.
http://www.amsn-project.net/ has worked decently for me.

"so that nobody can ever improve the software"
I think I speak for all of us when I say, "WTF?!?!"

The fact that yours was also modded "Redundant" got a laugh out of me...
...exit nodes and plausible deniability.
Thanks.

Except for the fact that there is an ext2/3 interface for Windows that ignores access rights: http://www.fs-driver.org/
Well, Linux without an X server looks pretty darn broken to 99.3% of the populace.
There is nothing worse than ASCII art porn...

Or just fly with a dead battery and check your AC adapter. :-)

Gah! Curse HTML not showing up. Sorry, their was supposed to be an "end joke" at the top of that....
Sorry, probably should've put that at the end. Jeese, you had to go and hash on my parade....
I predict that soon, all p2p filenames will change to include more patriotic themes.

And the FBI will wonder why illegal file-sharing has almost disappeared but the distribution of pro-government materials has skyrocketed.
