which most say is outdated with the advent of cellular and disposable phones
Can't trust a pay phone anymore, and how many numbers does your cell phone have anyway?
Allows the federal government to detain non-U.S. citizens suspected of terrorism for up to seven days without specific charges. The administration originally wanted to hold them indefinitely.
So they wanted the whole fucking galaxy, and only got the Western Hemisphere. I'm supposed to be happy with that?
I am appalled with the manner is which this bill was forced through. Congress is so desperate to do something, that they don't care about doing the right thing. Read the Wired article. Three Senators say they:
Agreed with Feingold, but
needed to do something NOW!
What does that say to you about their state of mind on Capitol Hill?
Anyone who talks about Google "selling out" is, frankly, an idiot. To run their search engine, Google needs hundreds, perhaps thousands of servers (you don't think a desktop PC running off a DSL line indexes 1 billion pages and serves the searching needs of 6.6 million distinct people I hope?) using tons of bandwidth and space at a pricey colocation facility.
Linux Journal has an interview with Sergey Brin this month.
(Table of contents here. The interview isn't online, though.)
Google has 5000 computers now. About 80% are performing searches, 10% are for R&D, and 10% are crawling & indexing.
...Yet we insist on using a network protocol that allows for casual network probing, port scanning, untraceable DOS attacks, spoofing, snooping, and so forth that requires effort to secure from the defaults. (i.e. firewalls, anti-spoofing filters, add-on encryption, etc.)...
C'mon! Just think how much fun DOS attacks will be in the future. Your new online toaster/coffee machine? Or car?
Oh, the humanity!:)

I'll bet you can't even do the Transformers sound right.
