Now this is an excellent idea. I went to the movies the other day and saw something I hadn't seen in years - a phone booth. But there was no phone in it. The idea was to use it for privacy when you made a cell phone call. This is the same concept.
This news could set off a modern day gold rush on the moon. The think of how the first did wonders for developing California and Alaska. Greed has a way of motivating progress.
There is a market for it. As soon as a vendor throws itself behind a desktop GUI that can compete with XP/Win7 (and there are several for *nix that do) and they support it - it will happen. By support, I mean public forums as well as REASONABLY PRICED paid support I predict it willt take off. I believe there is is an market for it if they give it a chance. The Windows market wasn't created overnight. Microsoft had to dedicate time and resources to give it a chance.
I'm not a die hard Windows advocate but the fact still remains that it still has deeply saturated the marketplace. Unless Linux can gain share on the home PC in terms of usability and compatibility the end users will still be favoring Windows. Outside of the technical minded end users most just want to use something they know.
But IPs aren't always permanent to a location. Sure, maybe you might get lucky and have a static IP but its not a given. And even if you do your gonna have to wait, and wait, and wait for the ISP to comply. By then a laptop or cell phone is long since pawned. I do agree with you on it needing to be a high profile crime for law enforcement to take action. There just isn't enough LE to follow up on all the cases.
Yes, you are chasing your own tail. IPs aren't a solid proof of location. And even if it was, how do you approach an apartment building (for example) and determine which floor, let alone room, has the suspect?:(

I don't know if I believe this. If they can honestly believe that to be true why hasn't he been stopped?
Changing IPs and namespace is a bunch of snot. If anything its just a nuisance. The only solution is to make the information they present irrelevant.
DESQview rocked. It was far more friendly, compatible and stable than DoubleDOS. Especially with serial communications drivers.
Does this mean they intercepted all the SPAM they send to me?
He must be married.
Yeah, and Google doesn't want this?
No
Try Dr. Pepper.
Cobalt Raq servers were very trendy.... back in the day.
Maybe its a test run before they strike second or first world countries.
What's wrong with with Pam Anderson?

I agree. Was Geocities important in the lasts 2 years of its existance anyway?
Didn't they just do this with Limewire?

Whatever you would save in hardware costs you would lose in labor costs having to build the PCs and track parts and systems for potential RMAs.
Buzz off
An ingenious idea! if it works

I suspect this is normal... considering they are being called "shrimp" all the time. Or is it shrimps. Or shrimpi.

How do you explain the puffed caps?
And every ODM is over seas.
