Forgive me.
I forgot not only the laws suck in the UK,but the internet sucks too.
Shall I keep a free space by the 50mbit FIOS?
In all seriousness a simple automated email program used for spamming marketing emails could be used by masses of people to bring this to it's knees.
If I can get 20-30 viagra solicitations a day, surely the motivated citizens of the UK could secure their own freedoms? Or perhaps not.
Sure it's possible. The whole point is the cost, not that it impossible. Economically it is impossible for the UK to purchase 7 petabytes of storage each week.
Sure but most of that is text which is easily compressed.
Get 1500 people to chunk non compressible
garbage at each other and you could make them store exabytes upon exabytes.
Send each other padded rars of zeros that extract into exabyte sized files.
You would crash the system with that alone.
Get together a group of 500 similarly frustrated people.
Have each person send everyone on the list a 1GB
non-compressible, encrypted message titled "Iraq Iran Afghanistan Islam and North Korea"
This would generate 250TB of data per day that they would need to store.
In a month this would create more than 7 Petabytes
of data to warehouse,
which is physically impossible with current technology.
So in short, 500 determined people could bring this system to it's knees in less than a month.
The trailer came on an no one knew what the heck it was, and it was dead quiet when it ended. Basically all I got from the trailer was "Glowing blue guys".
The FBI won't care unless the theft is over $250,000 or something like that.
Forget the local police, contact the local SHERIFF
as he will have the ability to do the arrests,
and most will have some kind of internet crimes
officer (mostly for child porn).
Visit the man in person. Bring a copy of thepolice report. Tell him about getting a subpoena
from the courts to get the info.
Call him every single day. Call the mayor.
These people won't want to do anything. Believe me I have been there. You're going to have to do a lot of work.
Be prepared for the end result: some 11 yearold's mother being arrested for buying a stolen pc off some neighborhood guy or off craigslist because they are poor. I doubt you will get the original thief.
This is just silly. Last thing I want is Britney Spears to live forever.
You'd get so world weary you'd probably kill yourself after 200 years anyway,,,

The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing.
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety
Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it.
Last one is Johnny Rotten btw

The sun destroys everything it touches. Eventually it will implode into a black hole and devour what little shareholder value is left.
We're one step closer to a "Forget your first sexual encounter" pill.

All this does is give them an legit excuse to build a large ICBM sized rocket without Israel and the US bombing them. Quite a smart move really.

Good luck
Sounds like a great way to get four free one terabyte drives! count me in!

I think this is unacceptable. Who offers services of godaddy level that I can move my many domains to? I don't want to give them another dollar.

Stealing your competitor's customers is what capitalism is.
You need to separate your hate of spam from the realities of business:
Ethical, kind people go bankrupt.
I have my own company, and if this happened to me I would be working this gift from God HARD.

But I have to throw out the mouthwash, right?
Yes Sir, I'm sorry.
No problem.
Have a nice day.
Clearly these people are stupid enough to think that my mouthwash and nail clippers are lethal weapons.
I doubt they have the faintest idea what to do when confronted with a command line.
