    If they did it at the request of the state - rather than a court order - then yes it is a violation of due process.

    If a cop asks me to to stop talking about something, and I agree to do that there is no violation. If the cop hauls me to jail and keeps me there for more than, what is it, 72 hours without seeing a judge, that is a violation of due process.

    Amazon can not, by itself, violate due process. Only the criminal justice system can.

    Amazon MAY be liable under civil contract law, but that is something completely different and will be sorted out in a civil trial or by the parties reaching an agreement.

    IP address reclamation will get us back at least 40% of the address space.

    I can announce and route down to a /32. It's up to my peers to accept that announcement. Some may and some may not. It depends upon politics, payment, router memory and BOFH whim.

    A /24 is commonly the longest network accepted for re-announcement, but that is not a hard rule.

    I live in the Pacific Northwest you inconsiderate bastard! Even if we had the sun I'd still have to cut down some very old trees just to get enough light to my property.

    Funny how since I live in a Public Utility District (snopud.org) and the costs of the infrastructure upgrades are transparently reflected in my monthly bill, the hate just isn't there for me.

    Reminds me of the tricks we had to pull having an 5Kw AM transmitter about five feet from the broadcast studio. Balanced audio with a good shield (grounded on only one end) is your friend. Making the old Harris automation for the FM side, with 1970's era TTL circuits behave in a 8 volt RF field was another issue (adding pull-up resistors to most inputs.)

    She really understands electrical fields and, no doubt, will be a great engineer.

    I would think in that case it was because the real estate company was profiting from the map links. That's a whole 'nother can of worms there.

    I grew up in central Washington and let me tell you, there is a lot of literal bullshit and cowshit there. I-82 from Yakima to the Tri-cities (Pasco is one) is a long line of stock yards and farms.

    The odd thing is that the Tri-cities is the bedroom community for the only active nuke power plant in the state, Hanford.

    I hear you there. There is one company that wants me that I won't work for. It's a good crew but the company datamines and sells personal backgrounds. Not what I helped build the Internet for.

    Yeah, the (kinda) updated version is at hamelin.us. Nice detective work. Noticing that my public email address matches to my real name in whois. BTW: I also have nethead.org, nethead.us and nethead.org.uk. (Some damn Aussie by the name of Charlie Fox has nethead.net.)

    The difference is that I didn't tell the stories on /. and everyone has stories from past employers. The making the stories public was the point.

    So, how do you want us to act upon your criticism? Do you want us to stop using Google or do you want us to support them with our continued use of their (your) products? Tearing down your employer from the outside while still pulling a paycheck is really chicken shit.

    I have an ex-employee that went to work for Google (think network architect) and when he ran into personal problems they bent over backwards to help. Far beyond what I would have been able to do. From seeing that I'd be willing to work for them if needed too.

    It's a fsckin' company! It needs to make a profit! From what I can see, they do that more humanly than most out there. If you have found some deep dark secret evil plan, then maybe you should quit and contact a reporter at the New Yorker or something. Otherwise, shut up and keep cashing your paycheck. You can't have it both ways.
