The entire Metallica back catalogue is available in 320kbps MP3 on many torrent sites, weighing in at roughly 900MB. That's 8 albums (St Anger doesn't count) for under the price of one album.
What's the point in that? He'd either have to carry both desert and urban camo (for middle-east incursions at least), and swap half way through, or they'd have to be butt-naked all the time.
If you think the latter is a good idea, I hear the Navy is also looking for recruits.
I would never, ever condone the creation or propagation of CP, but one downside of such an anonymous network is that it can be abused like this.
If it wasn't so difficult (potentially life-altering) to report abuses to the authorities, I don't think we'd have many of the issues we have now. Part of my job is to monitor internet usage, and as such I have to expect that I could be exposed to something truly horrific, but I'm also protected from prosecution by having that as part of my job role. Joe Public in the UK has no such protection; S/He can be thrown in jail and put on the pervert register just for seeing an indecent image of a minor, doing the decent thing, and reporting it to the Police.
The network isn't the problem, it's the stigma attached to even admitting you've seen something objectionable which is the issue. In the UK at least, it's not worth the hassle to report it for most folks. "Out of sight, out of mind" as they say.
Sweet baby Jeebus you're a complete fucking moron.
I feel very comfortable stating that fact because you're spreading the F.U.D. that voting third-party in the US is a wasted vote. Tell me, genius, if 60% of the US populace vote third-party, how are those votes wasted?
There is nothing in this world which irritates me more than idiots like you spreading bullshit about "Oh, lesser of two evils is the only way" because it isn't. Take your head from your ass, don't believe the Fox / CNN / ABC bullshit on their two-party clusterfuck debates, put some effort into researching parties you agree with, promote them and help make your country better. It's the patriotic thing to do.

What gap in legislation does this law seek to close?
Fairly soon, there's going to be a pretty big market for Linux hackers who will put together a Netbook OS with MAC randomisation and Tor / VPN tunnelling by default shipped on a write-protected drive with a hi-gain USB wireless transceiver.
Oh, and a quickly-removable battery for that "Quick, freeze the RAM!" trick.
Plenty of people think that the jury decide the outcome of a case. I personally believe that they're responsible for about 10% of the decision making. The other 90% is the conviction of the defence counsel.
If he does a bad job (unintentionally or otherwise) then it's game over.
You can choose not to use Google, Facebook, and other "social networking" sites. Good luck ensuring your data isn't profiled by servers hosted at your ISP, though.
If Tor were faster, I'd use that. In the absence, VPN out of the country will do.
You have no control over what they're monitoring (save for doing something like using an encrypted tunnel to a proxy outside of the ISPs view). That's a pretty significant difference.
I don't use TPB for torrents, but i'll certainly use their IPREDator VPN service to get around this.
SwarmScreen is just an extra overhead to those companies. They don't give half a shit, let alone a full one, if it helps Johnny Freebooter get his Screener release without being profiled.
The companies who use BitTorrent for legitimate purposes don't need SwarmScreen.

Ah, but does observing the slope change the gradient?
1GB = £15? That's not a bad deal.

Start?
You must be really new here.
BT want to police the internet? No problem.
Get all the CP and bomb schematics you can folks; It's BT's fault for not preventing access, now.
The Fallout series also made headlines earlier this week when Bethesda trademarked the name for TV and film.
Please let that be so Uwe Boll can't get hold of it.
Bone doesn't seem to mind at all. They do make mention of immune response, however.

Unfortunately I can't read Swedish. Anyone know if they offer VPN service?

Please, leave your rational thought and ability to parse sentences correctly at home.
This is SlashDot, where sensationalism and blind group-mentality are paramount.
You just watch me get modded flamebait / troll.
You're gay.
Shit.
Once you've put Octavarium by Dream Theater on and smoked a fat joint, this will make a lot more sense.
To you, at least.

Who is your ISP? They might just get a lot of subscriptions.
Would changing the user-agent of my browser to I-DO-NOT-CONSENT-TO-PHORM-PROFILING count as not giving consent?
Regarding Phorm, DPI is an abbreviation of Deplorable Privacy Intrusion.

Oh come on, it was the perfect opportunity to point out that the 3.5" is the width.
In mathematics, a probability of an event A is represented by a real number in the range from 0 to 1 and written as P(A), p(A) or Pr(A). An impossible event has a probability of 0, and a certain event has a probability of 1. However, the converses are not always true: probability 0 events are not always impossible, nor probability 1 events certain. The rather subtle distinction between "certain" and "probability 1" is treated at greater length in the article on "almost surely".
