It's be easy enough to hack to a common telephone and line to transmit telegraphs.
The concept though (words over wire at the speed of light) is how you are getting this message.
Yeah, not so much with the effective defense. Substitute "I plead the 5th"
You're an idiot. In a criminal trial doesn't have to take the stand, and in most criminal trials they don't. The defendant is presumed innocent, and has nothing to prove.
The problem you seem to be having is not understanding that "made very slow" is disrupting, and against the relevant law.
The relevant law mentions unauthorized access, and there isn't any evidence that the access was unauthorized. They connected to the machines on a publicly accessible network in a manner that they were setup to be accessed. This creates the presumption the access was authorized. (You and I are both accessing/. in the same way)None of these settings were disrupted or changed. And beyond that there simply no precedent in case law against it.
So, a real-world shopkeeper
For a real life example look at some of the protests involving Canadian farmers. They all got in their tractors and drove up and down the highways. None of them were arrested though blocking traffic is illegal. Driving any of those tractors on that road was legal individually, even though the aggregate result would have been illegal for one person to do. Real life protests often cut off access to stores and streets, yet I've never seen the same penalty applied to someone marching in a protest, even and unauthorized one that would have been applied had a single person done it.
If a shopkeep has an open door, the presumption is that anyone walking into that door is authorized to do so. If 500 people enter making it impossible for anyone to shop they haven't done anything illegal. The shopkeep can ask them to leave, and as the admin of a site can put up IP blocks. In addition people picket stores all the time, often making access a bit more difficult.
Saying what?
That the computer was configured to accept public access, and that the connection did not exceed the scope of that configuration.
It is a unjust and corrupt law that makes it illegal, it is not a technical problem and never has been one.
As for gaming on linux. There are NO technical limitations keeping gaming down in linux. There is at least one company offering commercial codecs and a DVD player for linux, but I have no idea why someone other than a corporation needing to keep their nose clean would buy it.
At least since 2002 and the initial deCSS
Sure nothing really technical, just that most major development studios have a hardon for direct X, making improvements to OpenGL lag behind
The burden of proof isn't on the defendant's, they don't have to offer any testimony. (and you're claiming to know what is and isn't good legal advice)
As long is it turns out these men were only redirecting their own machines, there's simply no evidence they did anything wrong. Access was not disrupted, just made very slow. The was no DNS spoofing, no redirections, no cutting of cables, which is what some other prosecutions have been for. They just accessed what was made publicly available in a manner that the host machine was configured to accept. That and any given machine was only a small fraction of any blockage.
All you need to make the defense is a couple expert witnesses or even just a through cross-examination of the prosecutions expert witnesses.
Right scientific, industrial, and computing methods are very precise, but patents are written very broadly. The only people winning are the lawyers and patent trolls.
But there's simply no empirical evidence to suggest that they actually do. See Boldrin and Levine "Against Intellectual Monopoly"
Being the first to market has huge advantages, and second most of the time R&D costs to actually get a copy system worked out is comparable to the original R&D costs.
The only notable exception is in pharmaceuticals because of the FDA. There are huge costs getting a drug approved for market (which dwarf the development costs). The solution is to separate drug manufacture, and drug effectiveness testing companies. Given the recent track record or the pharmacological companies, I don't see how a public drug effectiveness testing program could to much worse.
The bio feild is especially bogged down by patents. It is almost impossible to do any sort of research without trampling on a patent. Allowing someone to sequence a gene found in nature was a bad idea.
He was charged exactly $5 per Spam message that he sent, and it was statutory damages.
Real cost like a nickel to a half dollar, and it should be distributed to those who were spamed (Look for a class action lawsuit against face book if they ever collect a significant portion of this award.)
Because the word cloud really doesn't refer to any new innovation it's marketing, it is just a new term on an old idea.. Cloud just either means a distributed or non-trivial client-server computation over the public internet. It's been around forever. SETI already makes use of what could be describes as cloud computing.
The reason now rather than then is the ubiquitousness of broadband, machines with significant idle, and an increase in the number of programmers who now who to split very large problems into small enough parts to make use of that idle time to get a result in hours or days rather than weeks or years.
Intent to do what Jeff? You need to show an actus rea before you try to analyze mens rea.
There is no legal right to have unchoked bandwidth, thus choking it isn't a breach of any legal duty.
If I want society where I and protected from the worst of my own ignorance and mistakes, then I have good reason to protect others from their own. You don't need a government mandate to have this good reason or to act on it.
The single greatest predictor of lifelong poverty is weather you have a child out of wedlock.
It's not just about money management, it's about life management. And while classes are good, sometimes is takes a little bit more to impart the lessons like a hard knock wakeup call or some sort of therapy to improve self-knowledge to really be able to act on the knowledge presented.
What crime? All they did is allow their browser to be redirected to a specific publicly-accessible site. No security was broken. All that happened is that the bandwidth became so chocked as to be unusable, which is something that happens everyday to some site that slash-dot redirects to.
Ya, I don't know, but I figured this one out on my own my freshman year of college. Pinged all the common ports on the the addresses of the/24 subnet I was on at the time. and found the security camera for the computer lab in the basement. The then pinged port 80 the/16 and found 24 or so security cameras across campus.
Ya no kidding. Providing music to consumers how and when they want it will increase sales and decrease piracy? Who would have guessed that providing something of value is more effective than vague legal threats and erroneous metaphors? If I were Sony, I would leverage a little more and start the price at $2.25 or $1.83 and drop it every day by 3 or 2 cents respectively over the 6 weeks until it hits the.99 cents mark.

They just don't give a shit. I believe it's goes back from IE 3 or 4 when they first did MHTML
But that would require a lot of planning, not something likely for the short temper mentioned here.

You might want to research the sea-steading institute. Although China would probably be more practical place to do it.

Patents exist to encourage research spending.

There was no security hole exploited in the site itself. I'm sure that there's half a dozen or so potential security holes in the site itself

Latency. Programmable gates simply aren't as fast as dedicated ones. You could make new hardware for every application, but that's expensive.

Or just meet at a bar or library. Do a bit of legwork.
