Reply if I am wrong here and it may have been said already but 0.5% had nothing to do with moores law and the max flow of data over a fiber optic connection. What they were saying is that 0.5% of the actual line is used (i.e. if there are 1000 individual strings of fiber in a line 5 of them are used). I may be wrong here.

Yes yes he sure prooved his point... of course nobody would distribute Microslothy software over the internet... but how many people do you know who use Win-9X or 2000 on there home systems when they themselves used someone elses disk... or in, this age of CD-R, just burned a copy of Windows... The point is people will always find a way to pirate if they believe it needs doing... I would be happy to pay artists directly for music... I say the artists pay the distribution method and the distributer gives all charges directly to the band... that way we eliminate the fat middle man RIAA and give the artists there due.... I am all for PAYING for my copy of linix... just as long as the people who get the money are the people who did there work on the product.
Does this mean they'll stop questioning Kevin Mitnick about this latest computer crime?
No I really don't think so... really the government will just twist it into a big pissing contest asking kevin to decrypt their 60+ year old encryption and use it as their excuse for not being able to break his, what, 4-bit encryption on his laptop system... our government at work for us...
