The penis enlargement pump they sold me worked so well I need the next size up. Where will I get one now? Oh well, I guess I'll use the lost pumping time to take care of that business opportunity in Nigeria...

You're not thinking the problem right. Whenever you think about something that happens in the US, think lobbying groups. The US government itself isn't necessarily for or against Israel at core, but Jewish, Muslim, peace-loving... pressure groups might be, and those have voting power and money. As a result, most administrations tends to show that they support the point of view of whichever lobbying group has more money and voters. It works like that for nearly all US policies, foreign or not.
So in this particular case, my guess is the current administration reckons they have more sympathy and support to gain by denouncing terrorists than by supporting Israel (or extremist jews rather, which may be different).

but this would effectively be a massive distributed DOS attack on spammers
Well, I never thought I'd say that one day, but when this filter comes out, I will turn into a spammer. I will send out kajillions of carefully crafted emails with lots of links to "http://enlarge.microsoft.com/", that will barely be rejected by the filter and will cause it to retrieve the content of my links to check it out, which in turn will look legit and make the email pass the filter. So I'll have achieved:
- kajillions of machine banging on M$'s machines (hell, why should I always do it myself...)
- kajillions of users pissed at M$ for sending them spam (the filter let it pas, no?)
Sept 11, 2004 - US-AT&T-DHS - On the day of the 3rd anniversary of the Al Qaeda attack on the United States, the head of the US Dept. of Homeland Security Adolf Hitcroft announced today "new levels of cooperation between major telcos and the [Department]". The DHS has revolutionary new software tools to connect "suspicious internet activities with actual people", Hitcroft said, without revealing more details due to the recent new Government Secrecy Act.
dual-boot between Windows XP Home and Mandrake 9.x. Before its arrival in a few weeks I'm trying to think of what 'essential' software I'll need to make a usable home system
Get Partition Magic : as you use get used to both systems, you'll be able to progressively shrink your Windows partition and make your home system more and more usable.
Computer at home != computer in school : schools should be the last place polluted by computer hype and toys. Education gains nothing by replacing pen and paper by computers, quite the contrary. In any case, the paper-less society hasn't happened yet, so kids should learn to read and write properly before typing, and they have enough work on their hands doing that without the distraction of a computer.
And I'm not even talking about damage to young eyes staring at screens hours per day, early onset of RSI syndromes, flooding young developing bodies with microwaves if they ues 802.11b cards,...
At home, whatever kids (or their parents, rather) fancy, I don't care.
What would be your choice for middle school classrooms with minimal sys admin?
My choice for school kids is pen and paper and good teachers.
Why spend so much money on technological gadgetry with 2/3 years of life when that money could be better spent on smaller classes, more personalized education and fighting illiteracy?
What's more, one thing I strongly believe is that computers destroy what makes kids kids : the ability to imagine and dream. Computers and televisions presents them with pre-chewed images that prevents them from developing their imagination, and pretty much turns a lot of them into passive technology consumers. The last thing we need is that crap to pervade into schools. There's time enough for kids to get into technology later, even touch it a little now and then as introductory classes when they're younger, but really schools should be sanctuaries of things simple, to let kids' brains be free and allow them to learn the basics properly.

Why else would the RIAA stay away, they don't want to hurt their friends.
Yes, but why subpoena them at all then? either AOL cooperates and releases users' identities voluntarily because they're in bed with the RIAA, or they don't. Why 2 supoenas? It should be either 0 or hundreds...
AOL is this huge turd of an ISP and they get only 2 subpoenas, when the other ISPs get 100s?
Either all AOL users are very nice honest people (not bloody likely), or they are all (minus 2) so inane they only know the "you've got mail!" part of the internet, or somebody at the RIAA is on AOL's payroll...
