IANAL but I was lead to understand that if a TS falls into your hands, its yours to use.
If you compensate some one to drop it into your hands, you've done a no-no.
Of course now matter how you got it, your lawyer might have to explain to Mega-Corp's very large and bored legal DEPARTMENT, in court how you got it ect all at $300.00 an hour.

No way, remember a while ago, we got realy pissed because http://gateway.gov.uk wounldn't play nice with Not M$ browsers? well someone thought that we should make that site the home page for non-MSIE browsers and I did. Well guess what the UK now plays nice. Can you immagine what their logs looked like error after error.
Lets just find the DOJ web site page that has the most info about the case and see how it handles a couple million extra hits a day from people who are genuinely interested in news on this case. I like the post card idea too. It Shouldn't be to hard to get the address, it not like he's a convict with a number that you have to know.
Gee I'm getting inspired; I'm going to do this even if its by myself! I'm going to start sendind out Email to my friends who aren't/.'ers too
Last time I used a cable modem saw about the same thing, a site took forever to start to download but came up fast when it did. that lead me to believe that it was more a latency problem. The problem was less at 6 am than it was at noon so user loads problably figured in.
When the requested page was in the cache, things went faster. As a side note the cable modem's neighborhood has the highest per capita income in Michigan, maybe this was an incentive to keep problems low.
yup you're wrong, but you think well. I didn't have access to classified info but had a lot of friends who went to nuc weapons maint and assembly school, and I'm a retired school trained 54b, Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Defense specialist so here goes...
Uranium and plutonium gives off the most energy as alpha, and thermal neutrons (very destictive energy level) but when it fissions gives off a lot of gamma (that's why it "explodes", the gamma heats the surrounding air which expands), and it always fissions when hit with a themal neutron or just spontaniously. its kinda link make a firecracker when the gunpowder is always smoldering
nuc can be shot through 155mm cannons as well as 8 inchers. The gun has to be relatively new and can't be used after firing a Nuc, the powder load is too big, and will bend or burst the barrel
Suitcase devices, like our ADM's,(Atomic Demolition Material) devices aren't exactly "carry-on" devices, definantly two-man lift stuff here, and run about 0.5KT, a 250kg chunk of iron falling from low-orbit makes as big of a slash when it hits the ground
Plutonium is relatively easy to refine to weapons grade weapons, and makes a more effiecent bomb, but it is extremely hard to make it you need a breeder reactor. to explode it, you have to turn the softball into a golfball in a couple of billionths of a second (Very difficult).
Uranium is almost impossible to refine to weapons grade because you are seperating isotopes and the difference is 1 or 2 nuetrons, or a 0.8% mass difference, but once you have the rest is much easier
to get small and "light" you have to use plutonium in a fission-fussion-fission device, i.e. you literaly make a small hydrogen bomb as a sort of booster for the fission device (also makes the device much "cleaner" not as much wasted radioactive fuel and fission products are broken down farther
rummor has it that the government plays find the nuc on a regular basis and can find dummy bombs anywhere in the continetal US in 24hrs. or less
so that leaves the other two options, biological and chemical. Biological is no good, the bugs are either a dud, or eventualy get back home. then there is the problem of immunizing you own people, with out letting the "enemy" know. I don't see that happening so bio is pretty limited to real nut cases, and nut cases don't get funded.
Chemical is interesting and much more likely to be funded, but chemicals just are not that effective. its hard to get the Ld50 concentrations under normal enviromental conditions. Look at Tokyo, near perfect conditions, Subway is enclosed limiting dispersion, dry no significant hydrolysis, warm enough to aid evaporation and no sun to photo-degrade the agent and the result is one of the deadliest nerve-agents Sarin kills a few (probably most of them cigarette smokers, nicotine and nerve-agents are synergistic, try tobacco powder mixed with your lawn insecticides if you don't believe me) and make many sick.
Actually, other than ABM treaty violation, why is everone so upset over a defensive device. IANAL but does a treaty with the Soviets automaticaly carry over to the Russian Federation; I would think probably not.
Make outrageous provocative Statement, EULA ect., but do it quietly like your realy trying to sneek something by or to a limited audience
Wait for vigorous public outcry to build
Explain in soothing terms, Legal got carried away, what we meant is...(insert less provocative statement)

In short set a goal, take 4 steps forawrd, then 3 steps back; eventualy you'll get there and desensitize people along the way.

Eventualy they'll say "nobody is useing the open-tools and ban them in future productions licienses.
Or maybe M$ network software and BSD Network Software have had the same bugs is purely co-incidental? Truth is I specificaly remember seeing in a Win95 about page, a credit for BSD code.

When I would show my wife something, by talking her through it sometimes I would see something that wasn't quite right; I then grabbed the keyboard, SU pasword etc, while see went ballistic.

I've found that when some sys-admin stuf needs to be done I can tell her how to screw it up just as well as I can screw it up myself. She's become confident that anything that get broke can be unbroke. Sometimes I think the best computer acessory for teaching is a laser pointer, It lets you lase the object that you want clicked much easier than talking can. The only gotcha is talking slow enough so that you can explain what to do, its amazing how much we do and can't explain because we don't think about it, we just do it.

Yesterday EU wants Europeans to encript Email due to US Survailance and very probably getting blown off by the NSA. (bad form NSA guys, you should have at least pretended to consider Europe's point of view and done a dog and pony show for them)
Today Carnivore is dieing. DUH if EU encrypts thier Email then six pack joe has to decrypt them when he gets an Email from his Aunt in Italy, so he has to learn how to do it and Carnivore is cut out of the loop. NSA is the only ones that can decrypt the stuff, and they'll get sanctioned to do it eventualy taking over a big piece of the FBI's turf!
NSA might even contract with Juno to do it on sixpack joes' computer in the background in exchange for free internet! keep the work units small enough and he wouldn't even be able to tell what he decrypyting.
Realy just imagine providing bussiness interuption insurance in an enviroment where a software company can shut down every petrolium refinery in the company down just because a check got lost in the mail!
Remember when Microsoft forgot to pay for Hotmail.com's registration fee a while back; now imagine if it was a nuclear power plant or other "critical application" software. It's not to hard to imagine where utilization of 'self-help' could lead to signifacant lose of life and property and there by horrendous liability to insurance companies. Think about this; If the insurance comapny is bankrupt, the insured company is bankrupt who is going to pay the laywers?
Who cares about jurisdiction, this is big money we are talking about here,and insurance company money in particular. I'd imagine insurance industry is primarily the primary payor to the legal industry. They are usualy involved on both sides or more consider medical/dental
patient pays for insurance covarage
insurance tells Dr. how much to charge for care and what will be paid for
Dr. provides care and bills insurance
insurance makes Dr. rejects claim (about 10% rejects are random, just to see if the Dr. will rebill or to hold on to the money a little longer)
Dr. pays malpractice Insurance.
Get the Idea Insurance gets paid almost every time money changes hands, (and software keeps track of it) no matter what industry and when insurance gets paid a lawyer somewhere get paid. UCITA would kill insurance comapnies and therfore would kill lawyers. UCITA is probably a bigger potential threat to CAPITALISM than Communism ever hoped to be; Lawyers don't do well under communism and they know it.
Why not just FTP the libs? no not the 24Mb srpm's that those of us not on broadband find almost impossible to download intact, but the actual libs needed for the dependencies. My biggest problem has been finding the libs, sure its easy to find where the whole Gnome download is, but the thing is huges and I just need to satisfy a couple of dependencies!
Things have gotten so large maybe developer should consider not only posting the obscure and hard to find libs on their site, but all of the dependent libs breaking up the apps into sub-modules that can be downloaded in chunks and unpacked into the directories. ( or at least links to them)
What developers need to do is occasionaly download the app and compile on a clean machine, one that has an out-of the box version of LINUX and see if its still do-able with their tarball and links before declairing it stable.
We had an MP that liked to sit at the bottom of the road leading from our TAC-Site (HAWK Missile Site, the granddaddy of the partriot system) giving out speeding tickets. the limit was 15 MPH on the road which meant you had to ride the brakes all the way down. Well finialy everbody got pissed enough so one day when his traffic radar in the patrol car at the bottom of the hill had screwwed up our site maintence for the upteeth time (simmalar freq, he was basicaly jamming our site) we just set all three high power illuminating radars to track-on-jam mode and punches the radiate button.
All three HiPIR's quickly found their "target" and painted it with the power equiv of a couple of microwave ovens each which was focused through a parabolic reflector. The MP actualy had to abandon the vehicle. (Steering wheel got a little hot to handle, and he claimed he could actualy feel the energy). They towed it a way, his radar, radios etc. was fried.
If the aegas transmitter is only several thousand watts, its must be because their reciever are very good. We've had several thousand watts for decades now my micro wave oven is 1.3 kw about half of what millitary radars used 40 years ago; and yes they dropped birds out of the sky once in awhile.
I live in MI and by this law, if my state senetor had posted a picture of himself standing at the podium, on publicly owned land in front of the McMorran Complex giving a speech; he would have been guilty of violating this law because the publicaly own statues in the background were nude.
All most every major city in MI owns statues, whoes picture if posted on the internet would have been in violation of this law. Sure it fine to protect children, but the legeslator and courts are just not competant to craft a law that does just that; if you dobt that read the law and note the line about hydraulic computers and Magnetic core memory!
If I rememeber correctly the first things, Guttenberg published was the Bible and Porn. The relationship between then is all most symbiotic; the porn sites are among the few types of sites actualy making money and they are very probably helping to fund the religious sites.
If I didn't want my kids to see porn I'd get Net-Nanny or something and actualy supervise what they do on the net.
Question is a jpeg of a nude person a picture of a nude person, or instructions on how to construct a picture of a nude person? If its a set of instructions then wouldn't the enforcement authorities be guilty when they followed the instructions to construct the illegal material instead of the publisher of the intructions?
(anyone know where I can get some 1451, core sense line amplifiers?)
The business is not running as if it was a Going Concern; meaning they are doing a hit & run type operation, have no real added value to their product and are not within any for the public good parameters expected for a business or even expect to continue being in business to any reasonable future date.
Entering into a contract with every intention of violating that contract that contract is not a good faith attempt; and therfore listing an Email return address in violation of the TOS of the issuing ISP and know full well that the ISP will cancell that Email address in an expiditious manners is about the same as giving a completely bogus Email address
It's not that hard to find a co-located server somewhere at reasonable cost specificaly to handle both your smtp and pop3 accounts and maybe a couple simple web pages, where the owners will not care what traffic you send and recieve because your space, bandwidth, and processing cycles are paid for. This way you don't have to worry about invalid addresses and bogus routes.
Perhaps domain name holders need to procescute spammers for identify theft and dammages for defamation. The above would do several things:
Do bussiness as a going Concern
Invest in at least some rudimetery infrastructure, and put some capital at risk if the concern fails like any legit bussiness does
force spammers to put their own reputations at risk for their bussiness pactices

My wife is almost techno-phobic and she is now using Linux almost exclusively. She like it because she doesn't have to say "Oh MY God; he's going to kill me when he sees what I did to his computer" when actualy she didn't do anything; windows just crashes every so often for no appearent reason. With ReiserFS, she can acutualy use the reset button to bailout with out waiting for a 30Gb harddrive to be checked.
Actualy some of the cards I bought, will not work under Windows-95A at all, but work fine under Linux; Grandma isn't going to buy a new version of Windows just to check Email with a new card. But she might let grandson install a couple of patches for Linux over the web and rotate the logs while her son mows the grass on Sunday.
I've found that things that are hard to do in Linux are virtualy impossible to do in windows until after I've done it in Linux first. Windows has so much code from BSD in it that after you've read the documention in Linux, you know what to look for in Windows! Actualy if you don't want to use any open-source code on your computer, the easiest way is to just not use the computer. You cn't work with out it in Windows
Actualy the Tea when into the harbbor because a few rich colonialists have a vast fortune invested into tea aready in the warehouses and didn't want a glut of tea (that King George was pushing on to us simpley to collect the Stamp Tax) to diminish their investment.

There is no reason to place such a high value on having a dotCOM name anyways; doesn't help with search engines, doesn't make links any easier to follow, all it does is makes it a little easier to catch six-pack Joe typing in the wrong URL. It does seem to make a site look more legit to the uninformed user, but the typical shoddy customer service kills that pretty quick. Besides Six-Pack Joe is affraid to use his credit card on the net anyways
The Sub7Server Trojan is massively invasive. It has been designed to give its master virtually complete control over the compromised PC. This includes complete file system inventorying and file access, and real-time keyboard keystroke logging. Any user with Sub7 in their machine might as well have the hacker standing right next to them watching every move they make while using the computer.
Imagine everything on your machine being available credit card numbers, UID/password for bank accounts, digital signature keys, everything. Hell your modem could even be told to call offshore telephone numbers billed at $2000.00 a minute. Why wory about losing a little bandwidth; This information from 400+ machines all sent back to the master to be sifted through at his leasure, and used at his nefariuos whim and the FBI isn't realy interested!

Not Yet but soon! FYI opneNIC (I had to click reload to get the full page to display) is report on their site that they are mirroring both alterNIC and PacificROOT (and thereby resolve AtlanticRoots TLD's) name servers.
An interesting note is that AtlanticRoot Network Inc. list the phrase "The.BIZ TLD Registry tm" indicating that.BIZ is a part of a registered tradmark, given ICANN propensity to strip domain names from anyone who strays even close to a trademark, they are in a real delimma over using.BIZ and possible setting a prescidence toward ignoring trademarks as having priority over domain names.
Hopefully ICANN will see this as a case of "When your up to your nose in shit, you keep your mouth shut". It would be a real bummer to go into court and have your own prior cases used as prescidence against you.

It does seem to make a site look more legit to the uninformed user, but the typical shoddy customer service kills that pretty quick. Besides Six-Pack Joe is affraid to use his credit card on the net anyways
An interesting note is that AtlanticRoot Network Inc. list the phrase "The .BIZ TLD Registry tm" indicating that .BIZ is a part of a registered tradmark, given ICANN propensity to strip domain names from anyone who strays even close to a trademark, they are in a real delimma over using .BIZ and possible setting a prescidence toward ignoring trademarks as having priority over domain names.
Hopefully ICANN will see this as a case of "When your up to your nose in shit, you keep your mouth shut". It would be a real bummer to go into court and have your own prior cases used as prescidence against you.
What can you say when it rains it pores!
