Sure it's just packet sniffing but the article states if they find something they think is worth pursuing such as Encrypted transmissions, the article says they hand it off to the NSA. Say they see something that looks promising but old carney can't do a thing about? They're going to use Carnivore to check their supsictions then they're going to pull out the big guns!
And what do you want to bet that the NSA can break your encryption? ---
I kind of have a hard time following your reasoning.
If the FBI really wants to go after someone using Carnivore you're going to bet they are doing more than just packet sniffing.
And you know 95% of criminals are dumb. Why? they get caught! So then this works 95% of the time. I would think even something that worked 20% of the time and they could set it up and walk away they would use.
Remember its like the saying "Locks only keep honest people honest". Can I get a vote in the house for how many people think the FBI is honest?

I tried doing that on an etch a sketch once, but when I took it into kinkos the just looked at me wierd when I asked them to print it for me.
And I got all upset and started jumping up and down and my masterpiece was gone:(
My next attempt was a light bright.. but that ended even worse...

PEOPLE!!! Do none of you understand?
KEY #1 is have a bad a** Security Policy
KEY #2 enforce it, or it isn't worth anything
KEY #3 enforce it, or it isn't worth anything
KEY #4 call a user up and test your policy, for instance ask them their password, if they give that to you (big NO NO) make then a sacrificial lamb, slaughter them in front of everyone else
KEY #5 did I say if you don't enforce it your nice network policy is crap? I think I did!
The moment one person scrub or CEO or whatever decides not to follow policy that policy is worth crap!
Physical Security is another issue but come on use some common sense people! ---
Yeah whatever happened to James Camerons plans to go up on the MIR???
What is his next movie going to be? On a lovely cruise in orbit around the earth, the captain doesn't see the incoming astroid. The Mir then plunges into the Pacific where Leonardo DiLOSER dies from a jelly fish sting??

Yeah not every candidate is on the ticket in every state. Some candidates are write in only.
Others just aren't included in that states elections. For instance look at: The Socialist Parties page
They aren't on the ballot in every state.
Thats just the way our democratic system works. Those candidates didn't have enough support to get onto the ballot in some states and they did in others.
Still our political system seems to work pretty well. Debates with more than 2 candidates would be nice though. ---
But isn't that apology letter still just an advertisement/ ploy to get your trust and use their site?
Sure I love comporate america apologizing to me, but they still sent more mail out, more mail I did request!

So you see the correlation then? A bunch of us geeks will run out and buy wearable computers.. Then sales will halt, and the porn industry will rejuvinate sales by producing and marketing so called 'plug ins'.
How long before this has practical applications in the porn industry?
No, seriously isn't that what the vcr was designed for? Why not the wearable computer. Hook up a few electrodes in a few discret places. Slap on a IR port and you can send what you're feeling to the girl sitting next to you.
My favorite line is "They also have a manual for everyday troubleshooting"
I love this, how many times have you ever found useful info in a M$ manual? Yeah you know those 15 page leaflets on how to turn on High Contrast Color.
And I've got my money on the fact that Gates himself came up with the idea for the photoshoot of that photo at the top! http://www.microsoft.com/oem/images/antip_npc_sblo go.gif
Also notice the 'anti' in the image name? Looks like a little more than just a friendly reminder, or what is that supposed to refer to the anti___?
You gotta love the way this article was written
"Ken Silverman, operations manager at AR Fuels, a Brooklyn oil distributor, said he has already notified his local dealer that he will sue if information about the business is shared... 'I don't want any information relative to anything I do shared with anyone. Our business is our business. I don't want anyone to know what equipment I use, when I use it and how I use it,' said Silverman, whose company uses the radios to dispatch trucks. "
Well the only problem is now all of/. amd all of ZDNet know that Ken uses radios to dispatch trucks. Lets hope Motorola isn't reading this!

And then she can send you a virus. :)
