  1. Re:Risk compared to what? on Could a Category 5 Hurricane Take Down East Coast Data Centers? · · Score: 1

    West coast has earthquakes. Midwest has tornadoes. Northeast has blizzards and nor'easters.

    I too live in VA... and we have earthquakes and tornadoes and hurricanes.

  2. Re:The reason Christianity has this problem. on In America, 46% of People Hold a Creationist View of Human Origins · · Score: 1

    Not to say that the Pope speaks for all christians, but the catholic church is not opposed to evolution. Sure if you want to look back into the mid-19th century, but as of this and the previous century, evolution has been deemed as "ok" it is just the human soul which was created by god, the rest could have been a result of evolution.

    "Pius XII has already affirmed that there is no conflict between evolution and the doctrine of the faith regarding man and his vocation..." - Pope John Paul II

    The requirement of the Bible to be literal is from fundamentalists... which came into big popularity in America in early 20th century. So around the same time the rest of the christian world is starting to come around to logic, the US (in their infinite wisdom) are refusing to use logic.

    In other words: your synopsis only accounts towards fundies. Christianity in large could not care less about evolution, as it does not break their beliefs. Stupid fundies.

  3. Re:So What Was the FBI Supposed to Do? on FBI Caught On Camera Returning Seized Server · · Score: 1

    The issue is not that it was inconvenient for several hundred people, the main issue is the warrant covered. Allowing the FBI to search not just the remailer, but giving the FBI full access to poke through and grab whatever information they wanted from the entire server.I would not want my apartment to get searched because someone else in the building did something.

    And sure, you can justify it to yourself that it was to help other people, but the point is there is a precedence out there now [or was it there already? i haven't researched that]... if someone uses gmail and sends a bomb threat, confiscate all gmail servers, and have access to everyone's accounts. That sounds legal, that sounds right. That is NOT an invasion of privacy.

    Even if you agree with the cause, you cannot give carte blanche to the FBI to do whatever they want with the entire server. Make the warrant be specific. They can only search the information about the remailer. If they want anything else on the server, that is a different warrant.
