And without records you're going to know who to wire-tap how? exactly?
That's right, you're not.
Also, what good is wiretapping going to do when they're not talking over the phone since they don't have to because they can communicate anonymously over the ISP that can't be arsed to save vital documentation?
And a hearty fuck you, sir -the health and physical well-being of my family and neighborhood are far more important than your so-called 'right' to download content of questionable legality
Conversely, how will you feel if someone says that they intend to walk into the school your child attends and shoot it up -but they can't be traced because there are no logs?
Would you be happy if people are able to coordinate planting bombs in a subway and can't be stopped because they cannot be connected to a real-world identity?
the point is - that we need an avenue for free speech - we need an avenue to be able to anonymous. do people abuse that? yes they do - should we penalize all of society to a nanny/police state for the few? NO..
With freedom comes accountability, otherwise freedom falls to the thug with the largest gun and the most righteous jihad.
Anonymity needs to have limits -when your right to be anonymous infringes on people's right to peace and well-being, then you lose the right to hide behind your keyboard.
That's a false dichotomy. You can be allowed freedom to speak while still being able to be found when you use that freedom to engage in criminal activities or to organize acts of terrorist destruction.
This will last all of four seconds, until the government shuts them down for failure to provide access to logs and user information to law enforcement agencies.
And really, in this age of terrorism and child pornography is it even a good idea to have an anonymous isp? I think it's highly irresponsible. People need to be held accountable for their actions -online as well as offline.
Actually, you'll have the cable/telecoms companies become the only providers of Internet, legislate away p2p (see the ruling earlier today "unmasking" file-sharers), strangle services such as netflix, cut the selection of available shows and then push even MORE INTRUSIVE advertising down our throats.
IOW, I don't see any great, worth-while trade offs here, especially since the only decent broadband provider I have access to is my local cable company. They get their cut either way (and I get ads and shit tv shoved down my throat either way).
The only winning scenario I can see involves boycotting television altogether.
IME, vmware player will test for it, and fall back to software emulation if it can't access it, Virtualbox will enable it by default if it's available, and on certain guests will throw an error if it can't access VT if it sees it (eg when it's blocked by KVM).
KVM not only uses VT, but IME the kernel driver blocks VMW and VB from accessing it.
Anything that uses VT-x seems to prevent you using it for anything else, it seems to be how VT works..
No, just kvm. I frequently have vmware's player and virtualbox on the same computer and they co-exist just fine. kvm is the only virtualization application that I've had that problem with. (and before someone mentions xen -you can't run xen without booting into a xen virtual machine, so that doesn't count.)
If you can't put down the zynga long enough to take care of your real-world job, maybe you don't need one. Normally I don't relish social darwinism, but in this case it's hard to not see the appropriateness of it.
Victoria Jackson (born August 2, 1959) is an American comedian, actress, and singer best known as a cast member of the NBC television sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live (SNL) from 1986 to 1992.
More recently, she has appeared on various secular and Christian religious television shows, and has become active in the Tea Party movement. She has also received attention as a vocal critic of President Barack Obama.
That only took a quick glance at wikipedia to find out that she really is a teabagger. Take a minute before you toss around accusations.
What does Microsoft have to do with anything. Seriously - Microsoft doesn't need anyone cheerleading for them (even now, I'm sure they could buy and sell photoshop in their sleep), and it's not like Photoshop directly competes with them on anything (except maybe the wareze scene?). So, where the fuck did that comparison even come from?
My fear is that the only "volunteer" coverage we'll see of that kind of thing is by people with an axe to grind and without necessarily a great grasp of the basics.
Which is a very good description of 9/10ths of the articles you already find in the blogging world; which is why I don't think that web 2.0 is going to be a particularly adequate replacement for traditional journalism.
I haven't used anything other than mozilla/firefox in so long, I couldn't really say. But my guess would be that since the issue that I come across seems to be related to getting a network response from the ad server. I'm not a browser guru, so I simply install adblock plus, import my block list, and forget about it.
Not sure I see the problem here. You dont see the ad (CSS is blocked), advertiser gets their "page view" that they paid for. Unless you are still on dialup, this shouldnt impact load times significantly.
I'm on cable, and when I forget to use adblock I usually find that the ads take a very, very long time to load, often times preventing me from browsing the site entirely. Google analytics is one of the worst for that, imo.

Now you're being deliberately obtuse, but that's ok -I don't need to waste any further time on you.

So, you're against law enforcement then? after all -the lawman who can stop a rape in progress could also stop a peaceful protest?
Isn't that right?

This paves the way for government (through the dominant political parties) to own the ISPs.
This is a BAD THING, do you really want your login and user data being held on neo-conservative servers?
That's a false dichotomy. You can be allowed freedom to speak while still being able to be found when you use that freedom to engage in criminal activities or to organize acts of terrorist destruction.

Sure, I guess that works until you can install Emacs, but I'd hardly call it a real editor....
I see what you did there...
people read /. at work, saying 'fuck' is NSFW.

If you know that your user has a GUI, there's zenity which you can use to send a GUI message box to your user with.

I present to you the first two paragraphs from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Jackson for your edification:

I'd be a lot more impressed if facebook connectivity actually worked. For me, it doesn't (gwibber simply hangs after I click 'add').
Funny, normally you hear a woosh after a post like that. Must have been to far up.
Maybe because not everybody does....?

No bet. The popularity of outlets such as Fox "News" proves you right.
