I get a bit sick of people talking about the two faced morality on/.
Has it occurred to you that perhaps the people who, for example, are pro illegal P2P, might not be the same people who are, for example, pro-GPL enforcement?
I was only discussing whether they were technically likely to be breaking the law, and I felt they were, and as I said in the grandparent of the post you replied to, I don't think they've got a leg to stand on.
hmm.. not really what i was looking for, but this developerworks article comes with an example of how you'd go about it. you'd still need to set which services depend on which yourself though, but the only problem i've had with this is things depending on networking, so shouldn't be too hard...

Only some of it was quashed wasn't it? IIRC pretty low level people, outside the police and intelligence agencies, investigating fairly minor crimes can still request the information.
Also there's the fact that MI5 got their bulk monitoring thing introduced in an amendment a few months after RIPA passed, after dropping it because the bill was going to be defeated because of it...

I'm sure it's not the only reason that you want a Mac, but Beagle is quite similar to Spotlight and likely to be realeased at a similar time...

So they don't have any API documentation? Blimey, must be hell working for MS..
What you describe regarding embedding the IE renderer in Firefox is basically what AOL are doing with their new experimental Firefox based browser.
I'm afraid I'm pretty suspicious of Sun at the moment, I'm going to reserve comment until I see how this pans out.
Well it's only just hit 1.0 so I doubt it.

Just like Redhat and Suse you mean?
Rubbish, HL2 runs fine on lower spec systems if you reduce the DirectX level to 7.
You still get nice models physics and so on, just less pretty shaders.
I'm not saying it's not legally the case, I'm just talking about the intention.
And isn't it 'well organised militia' not 'unorganised militia'?
Which seems to imply that the intention was to have well organised armed militias.
How many US gun owners are members of a well organised militia?
I was suggesting that the arms should be held by the nominated administrators of the militia, rather than in everyone's homes.
The right to bear arms was meant to be about local militias, not redneck wankers shooting their neighbours.
Sheesh, I'm from the UK and I know that...

Well we do have 'pissed off' which is equivilent to 'pissed' over there, so your meaning would be folowed. ;)
flaming ;)
er.. did you read my post?

Hmm.. They're providing a hub for those contacts though. Plus they must at least be acting on behalf of the initial seed(s).
They run trackers, take a look at their news page.
Tbh I don't think they've really got a leg to stand on.
hahahahahahaha....
go on.. tell me another one...
My USB printer wasn't detected today!
Get back to work!
I guess an argument could be made that Google links indiscriminately, whereas 2600 linked explicitly.
Kinda similar to the P2P defence that they can't censor because of the scale of the dataset.
I do completely agree that making linking an offence is madness though.
I'm pretty sure that 2600 got done for linking to deCSS...
did you try looking at the linked image in original post being referenced?
It's not a joke...
