There's a woman in a neighboring city who has the same first name, middle initial and last name as my wife. To further complicate matters, her drivers liciense and SSN differ by only one digit that easy to transpose on the keyboard. We've had tax-liens on our house due to her as well as some of her bounced checks charged to us. I'm sure we've paid some of her hospital bills by mistake.

"it's the HOBBYISTS who've done more to advance computing" If it wasn't for people like the HOBBYISTS who were hand wire-wrapping intel 8008's into S100 boards and their own TV Dazzler cards from articles in hobbyist magazines; IBM never would have made the PC which is now killing their profitable mainframe business and Billy Gates never would have had a platform to launch either DOS/Basic or Windows on. My first computer used an RCA 1802 CPU, was programmered by hand toggleing the machine code in byte by byte, and had a whopping 255 bytes of static ram memory; it taught me that a computer was something that a mere mortal could use. The concept that a computer could be used by normal people was pretty revolutionary.
Wouldn't buying some stock in those contractors basically reconnect the profits back to those taxpayers? Oh wait now I get it, only a rich person can afford to buy a block of stock. Poor and middle-class people can organize lottery club but can't organize a stock club.
The same money could have gone into other kinds of R&D funding or tax credits But how many organisations just basically gives away money for basic research like DARPA does? Most other places require a scientist to at least pretend that the research will lead to a profitable product or support a defined mission statement. Try going to your company and say give me some mad-money for basic research and maybe I'll find something cool that we can use in ten or fifteen years if we're lucky.
I still have fond memory of Drill Sergeant Billy Martin threatening my life with a BFS, Big Fucking Stick in basic training. WETSU Drill Sergeant, WETSU.
I'm not sure that copyright is the law she saying she'll beak; the context was the holding down the shift key to prevent the unauthorized installation of software on computers such as the infamous sony-rootkit; so they might be construing that as defeating an anti-circumvention measure as in the DMCA.
NRA believes in gun control too, sight picture, breath control, trigger squeeze, look-throough target, only supervised access for minors. It's just their definition of gun control differes from the other.
Officer says "Do you have any guns or knives or anything I should know about in the car?" if you say "nothing you need to know about." and the officer is injured while searching for illegal contraband, by a legally transported but hazzarous item you may have civil liabilities.
if you say "there are several knives in the tool box in the trunk, don't get cut on them." or "the bags contain dental cases and should be considered biohazardous" it a different story.
Sometimes criminals place sharp objects on there persons or in places where an officer is likely to search with the intent of causing injury to the officer. By asking that question, the officer's saftey is increased, and if he's injured your lie to him is a strong indication of intent.
Ms. Glick-Weil allowed an FBI computer-forensics examiner to work with information-technology specialists at the library to narrow down which computers might have been used to send the threatening message.
Actualy she didn't impead the investigation and very probably assisted it by forcing the feds to only look at the involved computers rather than wasting time examining 30 of them.
Michael J. Sullivan, the U.S. attorney for Massachusetts, also said in an interview Monday that the FBI had acted within its authority to ask for the computers without a warrant. Sounds to me like the FBI did the wise thing, facing a situation where lose of life and/or significant property was likely, instead of waiting for the issueance of a warrant, they went to the libraian and asked. The libarian assesed the situation, feeling the lose of life or property was unlikely to occur declined the request to protect the patron's privacy which allowed the FBI to recieve a warrant to sieze a more reasonable amount of evidence. Ms. Glick-Weil allowed an FBI computer-forensics examiner to work with information-technology specialists at the library to narrow down which computers might have been used to send the threatening message.
It might be reasonable for the library to put the public access computers on static IPs so in the future, only one computer will be siezed if there is a repeat.
Warrants for violent crimes, or non-violent crimes involving persons with a history of violence or where evidence is likely to be destroyed, tend to be executed vigorusly; doors battered in, guns drawn SWAT style. Your not likely to be able to check the authenticity of a warrant under those conditions. A neighbor of mine is a policeman who was on the entry team, executing one warrant, he was confronted with armed resistance and had to fire, actually the perpetrater didn't go down with one round, the officer ended up putting tem bullets into the man before he went down. It was very sad, the perpetrater's innocent wife, son and mother were present and witnessed the shooting. Normaly in an incedent like this is carreer ending for the officer, even if the shooting is justified, its psychologicaly tramatic.

NAT is not the answer that it seems because the NAT box only has 64K - (WKS + reserved) ports available, which I know seems like a lot. Now think about normal power users using their computers,
doing an automatic update which sucks up a couple ports for FTP and a couple for DNS multiply that by almost every piece of software in the autostart.
running an email client which means a port for POP and DNS
a web browser or two down-loading a page with 15 jpgs which means 5 HTTP requsts + DNS; oh don't forget ports for gratutitious AJAX xmlHTTP requests, and maybe someday browsers will start doing that pre-fetching of pages thing they been promising for years
Still that leaves quite a bit of wiggle room, now what happens when a couple users get spyware/trojan infested and all of that is trying to suck up ports? The bottom line is NAT is a wall and sooner or later you're going to hit it, your not going to funnel 10K users through a NAT. IPv6 will takeoff when the ad machines at Comcast, RoadRunner, AOL, and Netzero want it to.
Actually I've seen indications that increasing CO2 levels from where we are now (350~380 ppm) to the point where it would be difficult to breathe (1000 ppm) would have surprisingly little effect on warming. Because CO2 only absorbs specific frequencies of infra-red light and it has limited Q , the relationship between CO2 concentration and IR absorbance isn't linear. The steapest is from 0-100 ppm then from it falls off a bit from 100-450, from 450 to 1000 the adsobance falls off to flat. We would get much more warming when incresing from 100 ppm to 350 ppm then we would from increasing from 450 ppm to 1000 ppm. This suggests a strong hysterisis loop so if global warming is due to CO2 levels it is WAY TOO LATE, because the turn-off point is much lower than the turn-on point. My hunch is human activity plays a minor role, vulcanism a major role and insolation the most
I've often wondered how our CO2 output compared to others countries when exports were excluded and imports were included. Seems like we might look even better after that is factored in as well as our reforresting rate. Would be a shame if people starved to death in africa so the US can get their "per capita" CO2 emmision in line with the rest of the world.
The only "legs" in this story is that it somehow offends US media sensibility to find out that newsies in other countries accept money for stories not really any different than the way our media runs a story and the advertisements all seem to relate to the story. I've gotten magazines with theme issues built arround a manufacturers new product.
damn that wasn't the preview button. just write a script the evokes wget with the above sting and back comes the query. by changing the q=subversion to q=query you'll query google for query, changinge start=0 to start=10 gets the second page. you can dump the returned page to/dev/null or save it pretty easily. If you've got a website you can search for one of your key words untill you hit the page with your URL automaticaly and track your page rank over time; basically pretty easy stuff.

An interesting catch-22, explaining how to prevent a client company from committing the crime of computer trespass, is illegal.
I'm not sure that copyright is the law she saying she'll beak; the context was the holding down the shift key to prevent the unauthorized installation of software on computers such as the infamous sony-rootkit; so they might be construing that as defeating an anti-circumvention measure as in the DMCA.

No but you would expect her to say "I believe John Doe is guilty as sin" durring a trial either.
Officer says "Do you have any guns or knives or anything I should know about in the car?"
if you say "nothing you need to know about."
and the officer is injured while searching for illegal contraband, by a legally transported but hazzarous item you may have civil liabilities.
if you say "there are several knives in the tool box in the trunk, don't get cut on them." or "the bags contain dental cases and should be considered biohazardous" it a different story.
