How'd you go from errors in an audit log to fraudulent and corrupt? That's a mighty big accusation, do you have some evidence (there's none on BBV) that shows there was deliberate manipulation of votes?
If anyone believes that these sorts of discrepencies are new, or limited to computer voting, he is hopelessly naive. And the assertion that computer voting will make these disrepencies harder to uncover is pure bullshit, as proved by this episode. If a bunch of paper ballots were filled out before election day, or dumped in a river, how would anyone ever know?
Pornography is *not* illegal in the US, despite what many people think of it.
Some content is illegal in the US, and there have been numerous high profile stings where the fed.gov has busted people for distributing kiddie porn and the like. These stories could be very easily twisted by just leaving out some of the facts, and all of a sudden, "US Government Arrests Suburban Couple for Exercising Freedom of Speech."
Your link seems to confirm precisely what I posted. The "new contracts to build concentration camps" are in fact extensions of existing contingency contracts to provide engineering and logistical support should they become necessary. Sort of like when you put your lawyer on retainer.
We don't need anyone's bullshit. The facts will do just nicely to counteract any bullshit that appears, without resorting to partisan bullshit from the opposite side.
Reminder: the amendment you are referring to only prevents the Federal government from restricting the states from having a "well governed militia". It does not restrict the states in any way from outright banning all firearms within their borders
Who are you reminding? O are you just trying to convince yourself that something you read in your HCI newsletter is common knowledge?
I guess you think that Madison accidentally typed "the right of the people," when he meant, "the right of the states." Out of curiosity, where else in the Constitution or Bill of Rights does "the people" actually mean "the states"? The first amendment? The fourth?
BTW, "well governed" and "well regulated" aren't the same thing.
You are aware that Haliburton recently landed a 347 million dollar contract to build new "emergency detention" facilities in the continental U.S.? They're building prison camps for tens or hundreds of thousands of people. The reason given is "immigration emergencies", or disaster housing.
Bullshit. They are doing no such thing. KBR was given a renewal of a contingency contract that they've held since at least 2000 (doh' Clinton was President then, I didn't know he had Haliburton stock). Even more importantly, nothing is being built:
The contingency support contract provides for planning and, if required, initiation of specific engineering, construction and logistics support tasks to establish, operate and maintain one or more expansion facilities.
So, it's a contract to possibly provide logistical and engineering support at some point in the future, should it be necessary. That's hardly the same as awarding a contract to begin building concentration camps, now is it? Please take your moveon/truthout/michaelmoore bullshit elsewhere.
With the information from a pen register -- what this article is about -- no one would even know whether or not you were using encryption. The information that investigators are allowed to collect without a warrant is limited to so-and-so sent an email to so-and-so at such-and-such time. Not that while they don't need a warrant or "probable cause" they do need to certify that they are likely to obtain information relevant to an ongoing investigation.
This article is neither interesting, nor informative. In fact, the summary is very misleading. The application for a pen register requires, "a certification by the applicant that the information likely to be obtained is relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation being conducted by that agency." No evidence of wrongdoing, my ass.
Plus, as the article mentions, it was the intention of Congress to bring these type of "trap and trace" orders for email in line with phone lines when they amended the law more than 4 years ago, so this isn't really news.
The Supreme Court ruled as early as 1979 that the fourth amendment doesn't require a warrant for a pen register, because you have no expectation of privacy in what phone numbers you call. I can't fathom any reason why federal investigators should have to meet one standard to get a pen register on your phone, and a different standard to get the same information for your email.
Neither. I made a statement of fact that spam (in terms of bulk mail) is at a cheaper rate even via the USPS - many people don't realize that they pay a much higher rate to send mail than a business or non-profit does.
But your statement is (still) bullshit. Businesses do not pay less for the same service that you or I do, and the same service that they are buying is available to you, if you send out bulk mailings. It isn't true to say that "bulk mail is cheaper", or "companies pay less", since you are talking about a specific class and category of mail, and whether or not it is cheaper is debateable, since some of USPS's costs (sorting, etc.) are simply shifted to the mailer.
Only the peasants in Soviet America pay 39 cents to send letters. Businesses pay one-tenth the amount.
Are you uninformed or a troll? To get discouts on bulk-mailings business jump through a bunch of hoops like presorting, bundling, and barcoding their own mail. These mailings also aren't sent First Class. Essentially, the bulk mailers are saving USPS work, and USPS is rewarding them with an appropriately lower rate.
The folk who will be left in the cold will be those that host free mailing lists - that could be your local church, local voluntary associations, schools, folk who freely manage topical lists of interest etc. These folk won't make back the money because email isn't a revenue stream. They're the only ones who will see any effect.
They can apparantly still use the AOL Whitelist. They are phasing out the "Enhanced" Whitelist, which is apparantly for commercial mailers.
Actually, this seems to only apply to their "enhanced" whitelist, which allows commercial senders to embed links and images in emails. It doesn't seem to affect the standard whitelist for legitimate non-commercial bulk mailers like mailing lists.
No, just because something is against the law, does not mean that it is "wrong", but it does mean that it is illegal. Many people get tickets for jaywalking, the fact that they don't confess notwithstanding.
I still have no idea what the OP's point is, and now I have no idea what your point is, or how they relate to one another.
And the worst part, by far, is the opening of the article- A federal grand jury has indicted 19 people on charges they used the Internet to pirate more than $6.5 million worth of copyrighted computer software, games and movies. To the untrained eye, this seems just like every day Bob who downloaded a film or two...
Yes, the everyday Bob who download a film or two wort $6.5 million. Believe it or not (an you won't 'cause this is/.) most people you'll run into haven't pirated any movies.
So of the 60 members, how many had all 14 TB at home?
It doesn't matter. As co-conspirators, they are liable for the acts of all members of the conspiracy. If I say, let's start collecting warez, we set up a bare server, and then you stock it full of pirated software, I'm just as guilty as you, even if I never touch it again.
What's your point? They (allegedly) broke the law didn't they? They knew what they were doing was illegal, and they did it anyway. They should be prosecuted. This isn't civil disobedience, since that is done publicly. This group apparantly took elaborate measures to conceal their activities.
Another well know exception to the warrant requirement is consent. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the FBI asking the library to cooperate. There's also no expectation of privacy in a public computer, or in records held by a third party.

They wouldn't sye to get money, they would sue to get an injunction.

If you care to inform yourself

I must have burst someone's bubble.
ISDN is circuit switched, and is far from a "dumb" network. Additionally PRI's are in extrememly wide use as voice trunks in the US.
