I invite you to consider what would happen if we make them legal. The government would tax them to an absurd level, a black market would still exist (look at tax-free cigarettes and their role in criminal revenue),
so like the untaxed cigarettes people would simply drive out to the nearest Indian reservation to buy a months supply?
The networks want to be paid every time a consumer watches a program, live, recorded, restreamed, or whatever. I am surprised that they do not insert a screen before every show reading something along the lines of 'I agree not to redirect the following content.' If the user does not agree with that, they are instructed to stop the program at that point.
Well if the show is being piped into my dvr and I only watch it latter then the eula would not apply as i "agreed" to it after I had recorded it.
Well, that's the problem with Death Stars, they're not exactly the most "accurate" of instruments. If you want to nuke Washington, you have to wipe out the planet.
Hey, I don't say that it ain't worth it!
maybe he could just graze the surface of the planet firing tangentially to the earth?
...including the ability to manipulate the results of online polls, artificially inflate pageview counts on web sites, "amplif[y]" sanctioned messages on YouTube,
Snowden has documents showing GCHQ was also behind those page widening posts in the early days of Slashdot as well as posting countless goatse and tubgirl links and other assorted crapflooding.
I would like to call you troll but unfortunately they were caught Man In The Middling slashdot.
Assuming we are talking about the same botnet, if i remember reading about it correctly it used a list of defualt passwords. If you are using a defualt password on any system you are going to get pwned hard.
If you think about it, Microsoft has a close relationship with the NSA - see the _NSAKey scandal. Routing all traffic No-ip traffic through MS controlled servers, it can safely be assumed the data was routed to the NSA. The full list of no-ip names and associated internet addresses (and thus identities of the users) I think could be a very valuable thing for the government. It smells wrong.
Um you could get their identity by traceing each dns entry to its ip address in most cases
What would your reaction have been if, while on vacation to England (or any other country for that matter) John McCains kid was arrested and flown to Russia overnight?.
No it won't. We have enough vaccine in anti-terror storage to vaccinate the country and the disease is slow spreading. Sure it will suck to be in city 0 but we'll stop it.
but if we just preemptively vaccinate then city zero won't be an issue.
sounds to me like we need develop more user friendly distributed anonamous internet tools. while the tools we have work when used they are not user freindly and often have horrible documentation. We need a suit of tools to fix the internet to stop corporate/government control over the web. include tor freenet i2p namecoin & bitcoin, retroshare and pgp. encrypt everything end to end and make domain hijacking impossible.
I'm not really sure the SoC is *that* cheap even if you subtract all the salaries and wages involved. All the energy, ultra-pure water, organic solvents, lithography and epitaxy machine depreciation etc. certainly aren't free.
no but the are incredibly cheap when amortized against millions of units, with much of the equipment already paid for you just have to take into account depeciation which again may already be paid off.
1st: History shows us all, occupations always fail.
The native american tribes would like to talk to you about who all these white and black people are on their land since the European occupation of north America failed.
That is really the question, isn't it? NSA has created the biggest haystacks in the planet's history and most of them are needle-free. They have their collective fingers in their ears as we ask, "What / Where's the point?!"
That is why we are being targeted because we can show that they are full of shit, that is what makes us "dangerous" andwe can show others too which scares them even more.
With people like Richard Stallman at forefront, who can blame them?
You mean the guy screamed about the government spying on us and that we can't trust closed source anything for decades. Guess what he turned out to be right.

Seriously, try to imagine describing a lot of the things people do professionally now to someone 30 years ago.
Prostitution . . . the world's oldest profession will be around . . . well, as long as humans are still around.

Personally I wish its death would be fast and painful. that way i don't have to deal with it as long.
Apparently it isn't stuff that matters...
because unfortunately our dice overlords don't view slashdot itself as stuff that matters...

If he had this "decency" you speak of, he would have only alerted his own people and not the foreign governments.
And how is he supposed to only tell the US when the internet covers the whole planet, local news is an illusion.

its a sad day on slashdot when apk makes a lucid argument and everyone else is trolling him with ad hominum attacks. Grow up people.

Do they really have Linux for your iPod? ( serious )
*ahem*
_I_ have an iPod.
There used to be at least but it is outdated unsupported now.

NSA closely monitoring /.
well in that case one thing to say to the NSA '); DROP TABLE 'lister king of smeg';--,
Gnome3 has far surpassed my expectations.
in which direction?
Please go ahead and tell us how great it is that the NSA is spying on Americans in order to protect us from extremist Linux users.
Thanks in advance!

not even cold fjord could come up with twisted enough of a logic to call this reasonable.

They'd claim they broke the encryption using some "Super Duper Top Secret Compute Cluster" and attempt to use it
...and to nevermind the numerous wrench shaped bruises all over Kim.
