I took high school in the late 90s. Our teacher of was giving the class instructions on how to use the internet to look things up, view websites ect. and the whole class was following along as her screen was projected on the wall screen. We were on the subject of government websites and she typed in 'www.whitehouse.com'. And there is a picture of a look alike Bill Clinton, a blond bombshell to the left and a hot brunette to the right, nude licking the side of his face with his man-hood in hand.

"There was nothing in Number 92 but a standard Hitachi pocket computer and a small white Styrofoam cooler chest. The cooler contained the remains of three ten-kilo slabs of dry ice, carefully wrapped in paper to delay evaporation, and a spun aluminum lab flask. Crouching on the brown temerfoam slab that was both floor and bed, Case took Shin's.22 from his pocket and put it on top of the cooler. Then he took off his jacket. The coffin's terminal was molded into one concave wall, opposite a panel listing house rules in seven languages. Case took the pink handset from its cradle and punched a Hongkong number from memory. He let it ring five times, then hung up. His buyer for the three megabytes of hot RAM in the Hitachi wasn't taking calls." - Neruomancer
Please forgive me for the quality. I'm at work and don't have photoshop on this system, but I was inspired to try and design the patch this guy was talking about.
Even if they do manage to get this portion of Craigslist shutdown, how quickly will it be until another one of these sites pop up?
Anyone else seeing a pattern here? I mean they made a big deal about Napster, had their 15 minutes of fame but that hasn't really stopped anything. I don't recall ever hearing about court cases, for Kazza, Frostwire, LimeWire, Edonkey ect.
About: The Hunt For Gollum is an unofficial not for profit short film by a group of enthusiast filmmakers. As a Lord of the Rings Fan Film, we are not affiliated with the Tolkien Estate or New Line Cinema and are producing this project as an entirely non commercial film. As with other fan films we are making this purely for the enjoyment of the material and the experience of making a high quality low budget film.
Plot: The script is adapted from elements of the appendices of The Lord of the Rings. The story follows the Heir of Isildur; the "greatest huntsman and traveller in Middle Earth" as he sets out to find the creature Gollum. The creature must be found to discover the truth about the Ring, and to protect the future Ringbearer.
Stats: 40 minute independent film inspired by The Lord of the Rings which is to be released to the internet for free on May 3 2009. Production began in early 2007 when writer-director Chris Bouchard started adapting the script from the Appendices of The Lord of the Rings. Since then, the first three days of filming were completed in September 2007 on location in N Wales.
This movie is based on a few lines in the appendix of LOTR that discuss Gandalf and Aragorn pursuing Gollum between the events of The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring.
There is more than that actually.
Book 2 chapter 2. The Council of Elrond.
There is plenty there to get a film like this started.
Novel: Count Zero. One of the main characters was a bodygaurd who was hired to protect one of the actresses because they were filming in some backwater country with Guerrilla activity or something. She had all this equipment wired into her.
He ended up failing in the end and what made him snap was when the studio sent a tech to 'recover' the hardware.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the list of things he 'predicted' in the Sprawl Trilogy is getting pretty long isn't it?
Correct me if I'm wrong but: Couldn't you have done all this with a non-issued NIC?
Once your done throw the device away and replace with with the original NIC or WNIC. And guess what? They can't match the MAC address and you're off the hook!
I'm a huge fan of Turn-based strategy and I've never heard of this. Just wanted to say thanks for giving me something to try when I get home.

I'll never forget when buddy went to track an IP and it returned a 169.x.x.x. Then ImmaMac instantly knew to head over to Jersey to see Kevin Smith.
Not to mention the other glaring plot device: All of the interwebs were down! LOL
Obviously File Sharer is interchangeable with witch here...
VILLAGER #1: We have found a witch. May we burn her?
CROWD: Burn her! Burn! Burn her! Burn her!
BEDEVERE: How do you know she is a witch?
VILLAGER #2: She looks like one.
CROWD: Right! Yeah! Yeah!
BEDEVERE: Bring her forward.
WITCH: I'm not a witch. I'm not a witch.
BEDEVERE: Uh, but you are dressed as one.
WITCH: They dressed me up like this.
CROWD: Augh, we didn't! We didn't...
WITCH: And this isn't my nose. It's a false one.
BEDEVERE: Well?
VILLAGER #1: Well, we did do the nose.
BEDEVERE: The nose?
VILLAGER #1: And the hat, but she is a witch!
VILLAGER #2: Yeah!
CROWD: We burn her! Right! Yeaaah! Yeaah!
BEDEVERE: Did you dress her up like this?
VILLAGER #1: No!
VILLAGER #2 and 3: No. No.
VILLAGER #2: No.
VILLAGER #1: No.
VILLAGERS #2 and #3: No.
VILLAGER #1: Yes.
VILLAGER #2: Yes.
VILLAGER #1: Yes. Yeah, a bit.
VILLAGER #3: A bit.
VILLAGERS #1 and #2: A bit.
VILLAGER #3: A bit.
VILLAGER #1: She has got a wart.
BEDEVERE: What makes you think she is a witch?
VILLAGER #3: Well, she turned me into a newt.
BEDEVERE: A newt?
VILLAGER #3: I got better.
VILLAGER #2: Burn her anyway!
VILLAGER #1: Burn!
CROWD: Burn her! Burn! Burn her!...
BEDEVERE: Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
VILLAGER #1: Are there?
VILLAGER #2: Ah?
VILLAGER #1: What are they?
CROWD: Tell us! Tell us!...
BEDEVERE: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
VILLAGER #2: Burn!
VILLAGER #1: Burn!
CROWD: Burn! Burn them up! Burn!...
BEDEVERE: And what do you burn apart from witches?
VILLAGER #1: More witches!
VILLAGER #3: Shh!
VILLAGER #2: Wood!
BEDEVERE: So, why do witches burn?
[pause]
VILLAGER #3: B--... 'cause they're made of... wood?
BEDEVERE: Good! Heh heh.
CROWD: Oh, yeah. Oh.
BEDEVERE: So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
VILLAGER #1: Build a bridge out of her.
BEDEVERE: Ah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?
VILLAGER #1: Oh, yeah.
RANDOM: Oh, yeah. True. Uhh...
BEDEVERE: Does wood sink in water?
VILLAGER #1: No. No.
VILLAGER #2: No, it floats! It floats!
VILLAGER #1: Throw her into the pond!
CROWD: The pond! Throw her into the pond!
BEDEVERE: What also floats in water?
VILLAGER #1: Bread!
VILLAGER #2: Apples!
VILLAGER #3: Uh, very small rocks!
VILLAGER #1: Cider!
VILLAGER #2: Uh, gra-- gravy!
VILLAGER #1: Cherries!
VILLAGER #2: Mud!
VILLAGER #3: Uh, churches! Churches!
VILLAGER #2: Lead! Lead!
ARTHUR: A duck!
CROWD: Oooh.
BEDEVERE: Exactly. So, logically...
VILLAGER #1: If... she... weighs... the same as a duck,... she's made of wood.
BEDEVERE: And therefore?
VILLAGER #2: A witch!
VILLAGER #1: A witch!
CROWD: A witch! A witch!...
VILLAGER #4: Here is a duck. Use this duck.
[quack quack quack]
BEDEVERE: Very good. We shall use my largest scales.
Either way their names come up in the court case. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Escabar actually had people that worked for him take the fall and have the lawyers report this information to him so he could weed out the moles in his organization.
We've previously discussed the issue with Fallout 3. It was a real eye opener to learn they didn't have a +18 game rating. But after learning that I can't say I'm surprised something like this came up.
This all seems like a throwback to the mid 90's to me. As an American I clearly remember the big sigh of relief I received when the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Decency_Act was shut down.
I also dug up an old article pointing to the ruling and it mention's as far back as June of '96 that Australian's were still under this type of threat.

A long, long time ago... I worked at a video store. I convinced my manager that 'Hackers' should be placed in the 'romantic comedy' section.
"But sir... It's just ten sites! That could take out over 84,000!"
"It's the only way to be sure. Think of the children."

Now... we'll have to see if something like this is available for MW2.

Dolly the dog.
Not so far from the singer.
Or "rebooting" existing franchises....
Let's see, Bond? Check. Batman? Check. Star Trek? Check(1)? Friday 13th? Check. Am I forgetting anything?
Terminator Salvation is also being described as a "reboot".
