And the restriction is just as arbitrary and foolish as not being allowed to modify my game console.
If I'm a bad guy who is modifying a shotgun to hide in my saggy pants and rob a bodega, I'm not going to ring up the ATF and find out if its legal. This is the same as someone who modifies their console for the sole purpose of playing bootleg games.
If I'm an amateur gunsmith and tinkering with a shotgun with a mangled choke I cannot legally cut down that barrel. If I am in possession of a shortened barrel that will fit an otherwise legal weapon I own, I could still be in violation of the law. This is akin to possessing a bone stock game console and a modchip whether or not it is installed. As a law abiding citizen I am prevented from altering things I own because of arbitrary rules written and enforced by bureaucrats with the blessing of legislators both of whom have a poor understanding of the issues at hand.
Much like Sony booting modded consoles from PSN, the safety officer or owner of a gun range could boot me out and not let me shoot my modified weapon. Or he could require that I have it inspected first.
For a case where modifications are legal, but the places they can be used is enforced through law, private property rights, or insurance risk controls look at the racing industry. Any schmuck can buy a Miata and install a roll bar and modify the suspension. He can make it shoot flames. There is no problem with that, but the city does not have to allow him to register the vehicle to run on roads nor does the owner of a track have to let him drive it there nor does the organizer of a race cup have to let him compete.
Reading the wikipedia article, I got the impression that the current searchers benefited from the previous work to help them narrow down where to look.
Of course they benefited from it. They knew where the wreck was not located.
True, but they've already shown that they don't care about the basic social contracts of the internet and are equally ignorant of the technical issues. Why would they care about collateral damage?
Well actually you can. It just takes a few more steps.
1. Get a list of all.xxx domains 2. Query the DNS for the IPs for those domains 3. Block IPs 4. Go pick up a whore in the red light district of Calcutta now that you've blocked internet porn
Thanks for clarifying, I realize that my comment may have been a bit offensive and apologize if it was. I'm sure you're familiar with the tale about people that go into the ER for heartburn or the flu and then complain about the costs.
Its always a tough call to make if something needs care now, soon, today, or this week.
a emergency room visit that didn't require any expensive tests or complex actions, just a doctor to look at me for 10 minutes and write up a prescription. o.
Actually if you outright kill someone the family sues but that judgement tends to be less than if you don't kill someone and then they sue you for pain and suffering for their entire life. The way American courts work is that you can only sue once, so even if you have a minor injury you better be sure that you sue and cover ALL of your lifetime medical expenses and loss-of-use from an injury because you can't come back for more if it turns out to get worse.
For kicks pick any 5 power bricks and look at the label. I bet most of them will say 100-240V, 50-60hz. Will work in most of the world if you have a simple plug adapter, no need for a voltage or frequency change.
This is not about partisanship, its about freedom. Do you despise the TSA, the PATRIOT act, the erosion of our Constitution, and our loss of Liberty or do you just want something else to wave in the face of the party that you happen to not be in?
The problem is that the feedback mechanism won't work because there are 3 or 4 different ways to access the repos in one system. In a default installation there should be two. A user friendly GUI and the command line. As it sits now, there are several avenues to access the repos and install software in Ubuntu.
I thought it was the homosexuals that were a threat to my marriage? You can't possibly get me to accept that now its the Internet and the Facebook that are the real barrier to matrimonial bliss.
Lets be honest, the usual cause of most divorces is the two people in the marriage.
This kind of illustrates another problem, what is the software centre? Is that the little gui "install applications tool" that is in the Applications menu? Synaptic? Apt? Some other front-end?
Slashdot Mirror
Is there some way to do a rules based block? Like anything that clones StackOverflow content should just be hidden or link me directly to SO?
All it takes is a simple law and this shit could stop next week.
Yep, because laws stop people from doing stupid and illegal things.

Over several intermediary servers, any one of which could be compromised knowingly or unknowingly. BRILLIANT!
So the current best plan on the table is to cut $60B from a budget with an annual deficit of $1400B? They've cut about 0.45% of the deficit.
Good job boys. If we just give up our morning coffee, we'll get that credit card paid off in no time!

Thats interesting. Can you back that up? Where would this info be published?

It wasn't really an emergency then was it?

I do not have figures to support this anecdote.
Only in the context of "Who's your daddy?"

You were eaten by a grue.
I heard you liked applications running inside your applications so applicated you a new one yo!
God damn republicans.

...cuz this is total crap.
Been a while since I used IE, but I think on first run there is a nag screen that lets you pick and its order is randomized.

No. If you're on /. you should know better and be able to figure out how to use preview on shortened URLs.
..destroyed overnight, go with the SSDs. The melting point of a surface mount IC is a lot less than that of a spinning platter.
