IP addresses are a limited commodity that cost $, granted a lot less if ipv6 ever rolls out, but until then, banning an IP is pretty damn effective to prevent the host from doing much, the browser (user) can still use a proxy to circumvent though. Also, once you hit the swarm w the torrent file, I doubt all those IPs are banned:) Finland is just trying to be like us (USA) w our SOPA bs. But what they don't realize is it's the blind (RIAA) leading the blind (congressmen) over here and nobody behind sopa can probably DE-acronym IP or DNS.
Your sort of right, they wanted us to disappear from the middle east ultimately, however the point of the terrorist attack of 9/11 was to instill fear and anger in Americans and thus interrupt the "American lifestyle". The tsa, homeland security, and 2 wars leading to a recession have accomplished this, even if we claim we won the wars. So while the ultimate goal was not achieved, the long term mission objective of the terrorist attack probably succeeded imho.
Nice, this is very detailed, some of this stuff I didn't even know. It's sad to see so many maybe's and yes involved, at least a few of them used to be fuck no's.
Reading that though, it seems to reinforce what everybody already knows and America's cyber laws are...
a. a joke b. a violation of constitutional rights
Soon enough they'll prolly try and disband the constitution and then it's time to go far away asap.
True dat, just remember the TSA employees pedos (real ones, not some minor SO), abusers, and other criminals, those people can be a little difficult to deal with at times. Nobody in their right mind would want such a job to harass people.
Because your non-dumbass patented it before showing your idea to others. It's happened plenty the other way around, some inventors have just proven themselves to be absent minded when it comes to marketing, they barely relate sometimes. Nike swoosh guy is a perfect example (that one ended OK though after a few decades).
Could it have anything to do with us getting hacked 100x times. As an off-shore investor would you really wan the USA "cloud" when A. the government can pretty much commandeer your shit w/o a warrant. And the Chinese seem to have unlimited access to American data. Our IT market probably looks very very unattractive for off shore companies w all the "IT" stuff going on this country that's been strangling internet freedom.
And before that people were stealing each other's ideas from under their noses, a smart guy invents something, and a marketing fag steals it and makes a fortune. Idk wtf your talking about...
The innovators find themselves in a situation in which they made all the investment but cannot recoup the costs, while others are enriched without taking on the risk.
Why can't the innovator have investors? Also what if the innovator holds the patent (like most do)? The patent system is exactly designed anti your statement. Some are saying it's TOO effective.
I wonder if the momentum of the crash from that speed allows the car the flip fast enough where it actually reduces pressure on the crumple zone via the forward momentum. This of course would never apply to a head on collision, the car would still be pancaked, even at a 5 star level. This guy hit a rock wall, bounced off it and flipped to a stop.
Exactly, the only downside to your thinking is it's limited to the "system", aka corporate America. If that's the only way you can make a living, then that's how it is, but America does emphasize it's easier in this country to work for self or start a business. Starting a business doesn't mean growing it to 1000 employees, I've met people who are content with 4-5 that they know and trust.
Unfortunately, a lot of people seem to get stuck in corporate America, unhappily because of life circumstances, or bad career choices (ex. not leaving when you should). These people are unhappy, can't leave say cause of family, and bring everybody down with them. That's why corporate America is the stuff of nightmares.
Probably, you'd get a bunch of pissed of people looks and some TSA would probably ask you to keep moving and if you didn't, he'd take you to the office on disturbing the peace, let you sit for an hour and tell you to gtfo. Don't expect a black bag and a beating though.
Did you hear the one about American Airlines new deal? They’ll fly you straight from the airport to the office.
Lol, I completely agree, there will come a day (when we can't escape having information critical to our lives on our computers) when encryption will become the norm and an unencrypted hard drive is the equivalent of an unprotected wifi network. Until then, the internet is much like the US west of yore, and unfortunately, the marshals are starting to move in, but gambling, prostitution, and whiskey still prevail metaphorically. I'm too young for usenet though, that was the west prior to the marshals, I don't think I missed out though.
True, my point is he was raised different, its not uncommon for people who move to different countries later in life, struggle culturally. In this case, the government controls the culture with fear, so clashing with the culture = clashing w the government, make sense?
While we can make an argument for how arrogant it makes us Americans, but we are used to having the 1st amendment shielding us and having lived w it your whole life, you come to expect it.
Yep, from the article sounds like they black hood people over there, v for vendetta type shit. Dunno, not much we can do, the people over there have to take action somehow. The government is trying its best to prevent this by going as far as monitoring social media.
Lol, ever read that one article about IT consulting sites monitoring employees via the webcam?
Ever meet a CEO dude? Your typical one is an arrogant, selfish, willing to jump over anybody kind of bastard. One thing I'm thankful for after working w a few is there's BIGGER things in life than money, and these people only care about that one small thing.
There is no limit to what they would do as long as they can legally get away w it, ethics are secondary to money in the ceo archetype.
The article's case sounds like a bad decision by HR, like they wanted to fire his ass, but needed a reason, so they took one without thinking and now boom, slashdotted.
The point is, how would your life be without a week of internet? Would your business fail? Would your friends leave you? If you answer yes to questions along similar lines, then you NEED the internet, just like you need money and social interactions. But neither one of those are basic rights, they are necessary though for a healthy human to function. Hundreds of years ago you were limited to your immediate community, nowadays your limited to the world community. It's not the same. So I agree it's protected under the 1st more or less, and its too much to make it a basic human right, but...
Y'all are fuckin ignorant, the constitution is US only, this article is international in scope, nobody gives a fuck about America besides the Americans and if we start dictating basic rights, we'd prolly have a basic right to war.

I just can't help thinking, Osama (assuming he's dead) is laughing in his grave so f'in hardddddd right now.

1. They're stupid (practicality / long term solutions)
2. They're arrogant (expectation of trust on data security)
Irregardless this push makes us look undesirable to put it nicely.

USB sticks have been doing this forever.
Never tried it, but along these lines...
Just list your address using the Galactic Coordinate System.

In the consumer market they do quite the opposite, but in science they do. Do I really need to explain further? The wheel's a lot harder to reinvent.
Simple: Bahrain is a US military ally.

Not sure why I thought that, I did read the article for once :P
I guess he's just kinda dumb for doing what he did either way.

Not in the USA (where he's from), we live and breath the 1st.
