If someone responsible can find out who is visiting a site that posts illegal information, then they can get better data on how to fight that particular crime.
If someone "responsible" is of the opinion that visiting a site on which there is discussion of matters illegal, is unwholsum, the 1st Amendment shrinks again.
The Wisconsin Legislature in 1998 enacted the Uniform Unincorporated Nonprofit Association Act, chapter 184 of the Wisconsin Statutes, giving such Associations most of the Rights of Incorporated entities. Not sure which other States have adopted it.

For State-run Universities, it is generally, either thru AUPs or State Law, to use State facilities, that is servers, for explicitly Political speech, i.e. Vote for X.
Since the Ubiversity has a monopoly on connectivity in residence halls, that is Students' homes, the bandwidth is arguably more apt than the servers to qualify as a Public Forum, and thus should be open to Students' own webservers.
A few years back a graduate assistant at U of Wisconsin was ordered to cease using his University account to email members of the City Council, under Statutes forbidding use of State facilities for Lobbying....
Should Public Universities place different levels of online Speech restriction on Students and Staff?
Since Legislators' email boxes reside State Systems, would ANYONE Emailing them be in violation?
1) Public Universities are in general more constrained than Private institutions in regulating speech, under the 1st Amendment, and in some cases further restrained by rulings under State Constitutions' free speech clauses.
To what extent does this make "It's their hardare" arguments vulnerable?
2) Do State or Federal infrastructure grants to privte Universities make their Net facilities Public Fora?
They say it can carry electricity with virtually no resistance, but consider the electricity to cycle the liquid
nitrogen and cool it down when it evaporates?
Since electrical resistance is minimal, the only cooling required once the sysem is up and running is to compensate for pressure in the Nitrogen circulation system, and for heat that leaks in. Quality of insulation is important.
Economics thus look best where electrical demand is constant. Use copper as a supplement for peak loads

So, if the suit pans out, the eeeevil court system will have solved the "student profiling" issue within a couple years of going into effect, while Jon's brand of "activism" (i.e. writing lots of on-line columns complaining about it) might never have produced any results.
Not implausible that the Judge would pick up on the societal attitude shift potentiated by Jon's editorializing, even if only 3d hand.
The KSU cops are real police, with both the authority and constraints this applies. (at least this was the case when they arrested me for giving a speech about industrial use of Hemp outside the Student Union in 1989.)
A school can restrict any non-university related person from being anywhere on the grounds.
Only if it's private. The ubiquitous "Reverend Jed" Smock won a ruling against Kent State University in the early '80s forcing the school to grant once a week access to the area in front of the Student Union.
In general, once a public University designates a particular spot as a Public Forum, they must allow it's use by members of the public at least at some times. See also the cases involveing the Ann Arbor Hash Bash.
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice 'without pictures or conversation?'

entire journey? That is, full cell phone coverage not only in cities.
There are towers along major highways, and all large and medium, and most smaller, cities. This still leaves many rural areas without service.
In Southwest Wisconsin, service is available on ridgetops, cuts out in the coolies.
IITRI verified by code walkthrough, and later by experiment, that Carnivore works as described
by the DoJ. Parameters set in the user interface were reflected in the configuration file. Data
passed by the filter and DLL reflect the configuration file. While IITRI did not perform an
automated analysis to verify all code segments are executed and that no hidden code exists,
IITRI did verify manually that the driver API and DLL entry points provide only the
functionality required to implement the features we observed. Given that the advertised
functionality provides ample capability to perform unauthorized surveillance, IITRI concluded
there was little incentive to hide such capabilities in the code.
Constructive suggestion: The device is placed under lock and key. Two keys are required to open the case in which
the device resides. One of those keys is under the control of the ISP. You can think of a key" as either half of
cryptographic key (for remote access to Carnivore) or a physical key. Better yet, both.)
I don't mind an ISP rolling over for FBI in the face of a court order. It's not a court request, it's a court order
after all! But I fear any system that denies my ISP the chance to stand up to a Fed trying to use Carnivore without
that court order.
On the right track. One key with the Feebs. One for the ISP, itself encrypted with a third key, held by the Federal Judge. Settings placed in the presence of the Judge or a Special Master appointed by the Judge, and then locked down with the Judges key.

Someday, I'll post something on /. so Funny, Insightful, Interesting, Informative, or Trollish, that a Canadian will save it to disk.
As such, I should be entitled to a slice of this Tax. Where do I sign up to collect?

No doubt my posts to /. will be read in Europe. Sooner or later I'll post something sufficiently pithy that some European will forward a copy.
Hence, I'm entitled to a share of these tax revenues. Where do I apply?

Still, I'm suprised Apple marketing isn't pushing their relative efficiency.
Where's the ads touting Macs power consumption advantages over comparable Intel boxes?
Not Macs.
There's no winner because we nominated 2 losers.
Time for a corporate merger. Bring Mexico, and Canada while we're at it, into the Union, and install Vincente Fox as CEO.

The limited publicity and tax writeoff you can offer for free service are more valuable to a mom@pop scale host or ISP.
