Alba challenges the validity of computer surveillance that
enabled the government to learn the to/from addresses of his
e mail messages, the Internet protocol ("IP") addresses of the
websites that he visited and the total volume of information
transmitted to or from his account. We conclude that this surveillance
was analogous to the use of a pen register that the
Supreme Court held in Smith v. Maryland, 442 U.S. 735
(1979), did not constitute a search for Fourth Amendment
purposes. Moreover, whether or not the surveillance came
within the scope of the then-applicable federal pen register
statute, Alba is not entitled to the suppression of the evidence
obtained through the surveillance because there is no statutory
or other authority for such a remedy.
Note that the excuse for non-suppression is disengenious,
as the judge should have been the remedy.
Also note that if e-mail addresses were obtained, that
means that more than just the IP headers were being looked at.
Packet inspection had to be done in order to obtain the
e-mail addresses from within the packet.
This ruling effectively is a precedent for the illegal
NSA spying.
An even worse problem is that there are now corrupt individuals making legal decisions that you didn't vote for.
Your elected representatives did.
The problem was, your elected representatives were not paying attention, were too scared to think straight, and voted for people and legislation in a hasty manner.
An example would be those that voted for the Patriot Act without even reading it.
Microsoft just *had* to throw in the comment about immigration. Microsoft continues to attack programmers in the U.S. by attempting to drive down salaries via the H1B scam.
If it was truly a problem for Microsoft, they would not be opening new centers in Bellevue and Boston, would they?
The reason they make a law like this is to limit the liability. It's a fixed amount.
That is the number one reason laws have no teeth, they have fixed monetary penalties, that are really no penalty to big business. They are just a cost of doing business to the business.
That's the point. It's *not* random. It's no surprise that the republicans are heavy Windows, they know where their bread is buttered.
What is interesting is that even some of the republicans are *not* using Windows. Watch for that to change over the next year, either by the candidate dropping out of the race, or converting the website over to Windows.
The general public will never catch on to that. They are too busy watching non-news on TV, gabbing on the cell phone, and in general, just cruising on with their life, oblivious to what is happening all around them.
The general public is complicit by not paying attention.
My observation of Homo Sapiens is that the reason the first born male (or leading survivor) gets the intelligence is because that your Homo Sapiens has to deal with *new parents*, that really have no clue as to what it takes to properly raise their children.
That child has to 'figure out' what the hell is going on with his dysfunctional parents.
So, if you have one bill to pay to AT&T for both common carrier land line, and also for information service ISP, does that mean that AT&T is really two separate legal companies?
And since both are providing signal over the same copper pair, which of those two AT&T is paying the other to carry bandwidth?

See, that's the problem with the USPTO. In the
case of the GPP's wife, there is plenty of prior art.
Such a slut, it's not even a state secret anymore.
The other way around.

But, I hope you're correct.
You can call it altruistic but you really need to
consider the long-term ramifications of an
infinite energy source.
If there was all of this abundant energy available,
it would be put to work, and the net result is heat.
Lots of it.
Homo Sapiens has already proven they can't manage
what they have now.
An infinite energy source would likely result in
massive global problems, likely not survivable.
It's called occupancy.

Sure. Use GNU/Linux.
Does BillG know that Condi looks at lesbian porn on Dubya's PC when he's busy learning how to read primary school books?
Ahhh, so it wasn't the Veep.
Microsoft has *always* been in the spyware business.
Vista is just a *trusted* spying machine.
Trusted by Microsoft, not the user.
The reason they make a law like this is to
limit the liability. It's a fixed amount.
That is the number one reason laws have no teeth,
they have fixed monetary penalties, that are
really no penalty to big business. They are

And I'm still not sure Vista is really 'out there' yet.
The pointer keeps going to a corner.

Is there anyone out there that trusts this process?
No thanks, but I'll not even put GNU/Linux on a machine with a motherboard that has been raped right up the BIOS.

Likely hotter, but such is life on the darkside.
Which actually leads to another explanation.

It's all about non-genetic inheritance.
BTW, I'm a modern cylon so I can relate.
I can't find the document currently, but the restrictions
against traffic restrictions are so full of loopholes
as to be meaningless.
You won't be able to tell, as YouTube will be blocked.

AT&T can't have it both ways legally.
