Let's examine the doctrines to answer this question.
An extreme right would war on with opposing states to destroy them, and war wouldn't stop. Eventually the state, which is supreme, would turn inward to cleanse the public. Extreme right'rs believe that they are supreme for any number of reasons. Think of a King times 1000. Or even the state run by the Klan.
An extreme left would war with any states which oppose them. A state would be set up, and during a transition period that state would protect it's workers while taxes are increased to such a high rate. After this, and other states fall by their own demise, all the public would be equal. The state would dissolve when it comes to this point. The only thing the state would do is oversee the *correct* distribution of wealth.
I think that the 'circle' isn't there, but they meet in the middle the right way. Because of this, most of our western political systems seem to work well. We want freedom, possesions, but we want equal treatment under the law. Under fascism anyone deemed 'inferior' is destroyed. Under communism, everyone has the same rights, but nothing is unique. Neither system has truely been practiced on earth. At least not on a national scale. A 'commune' may work, and there are fascists walking around today trying to administer 'justice'.
Here is the political spectrum for your reference:
Other than the basic ideals that we all know [economy and control] of there is another difference between the right and left extremes we are speaking of.
Fascists [in doctrine] are to war with everyone in the world until only them, the supreme race/society is left, leaving a 'virtual' utopia for that superior state. The communists believe that the only war needed would be destroy the ones who oppose communism. Take WWII. If Hitler, the fascist, would have continued the war wouldn't have ever ended.
Communism though, is fascist in effect if you don't want to be a communist. In Critique of the Gotha Programme Marx says a communist state would only be needed to protect the communists... after this control wouldn't be needed anymore. The state would dissolve. So I guess we are the ones in the way of true communism.
Considering if they are all true communists, they wouldn't complain because all e-mail belongs to the state.
IMHO, our country [US] will be communism down the road. It's when you try to hurry it is when you cause problems. You need to let it evolve on its own.
I wonder if China will GPL their filtering software?
Don't you mean the mods they made after they got it from the NSA?
Of course they aren't going to release it! Not because there is some huge secret, but because no one is going to make them. Is GNU/Linus going to march into T.Square and demand they do?
I'm not being down on linux either, just gov't. It's almost as fun as trying to hit up on M$, but I'll stick to that.
I would be more interested in the word list. I'm sure the NSA list is similar to this [my] email I like to send out to get the alarms to go off in Washington. Of course it should be updated for the 'new world' we live in.

...that goes if you say JFK or some sort of keyword a tape recorder in Langley comes on. That was pure bullshit, and someone about a month ago tried to convince me that it was true. Don't people realize the computing power that is needed to do such a thing! This hoax at least goes back to the 80's. Like everyone in the telco industry would need to be in on it, and someone would have leaked it all.
But this, is likely not a hoax. I'm sure they are doing it. But I won't read the CNN article because they are so [left/right] wing. They can't pick which side they want to distort, almost like they depend on which demographic is watching.
I guess for the gov't this becomes a great tool for watching the citizens. If they act on the information is one thing. But we just watch people who we suspect [MLK Jr], the Chinese have got a one up since they can watch everyone at once.
Attached [in a reply] is an e-mail I like to send to myself every now and then. Then I watch for that white van that parks in front of my house.
You're argument builds on the assumption that there is no security measure in place whatsoever. Really....who invests in a wireless LAN on that magnitude and dosen't implement a firewall? Do you really believe that people are going to be able to walk in with an 802.11 card and just start downloading porn? Possible, though not likely.
I though your argument was as long as the door is open..?
Also, who said anything about using their network for malicious acts? Not I.
No, you don't have to do anything 'malicious'. As soon as you realize that you are on their network... which is closed, you've broken the law. It's that unauthorized access part that gets ya'.
Really, it doesn't matter if your root password is one of the classics. Hell, doesn't matter if you have it set to let anyone in... if you don't want them on, then they shouldn't be.
Airports are a major concern because the potential problems. If you are there collecting packets, then you are knowingly breaking the law.
You can't claim that the data is floating there waiting to be taken, or that it's a free network, it's not. All they have to do is put up a sign: "Use of 802.11b Cards In This Terminal Is Not Permitted" They are covered, like when you see the 'lost or stolen sign'.
Get it? Terminal?
I'm tired. But all in all, they should do a lot to prevent access. Is the reason why they are so open because they were using the technology before it became widespread? I don't know the timelines.
I saw a HUGE thing long ago about near death experiences, and some scientists said the brain goes through a LSD trip. While there is no LSD [of course] there is the 'trip'.
Not only is it in bad taste, but it's illegal. You can see if the network will let you on, but anything you do after that is illegal. Even if you are putting a "readme_about_major_security_issues.txt" on their 'desktop'.
Anyone *can* joke about it, but it seems that it isn't a good idea. I'm sure suggesting that you are going to do such a thing would put a red flag in your file. Don't say you don't have a file... this is slashdot, where conspiracy theories fly.
I didn't mean offense, it's just one of those silly things that Gallagher points out.
I know from working next [literally] to an airport that it's like a train going by.
While I've got you in the conversation, I know it's off topic, but can I get a brief impression of Cochlear Implants? Like what do you think of them.
I watched the coolest thing on PBS about a family which was debating on getting one for their daughter. The family was all deaf, and they ended up not getting it for her. The brother of the father had a deaf daughter [or son?] that got one, and they were going back and forth about what to get. Really a great show.
I think I wouldn't want to get one, but that is because I could see the deaf families point of view a little better. They wanted their child to stick with the culture, and the language that they are actually blessed to be a part of.
Can I get your 2 cents? Feel free to e-mail me, I'm very interested in this subject. Seems like a great device, but not for everyone.
First we are talking about a network related to airport security. If you argue with the Flight Crew you can be arrested by the FAA... this is pre-sept 11th.
The open door thing? We aren't testing products or networks transmitting misc traffic. If you leave your door open you're stupid, but coming inside is still illegal. If somoene looks into your front door... that is legal. Cops can do this to provide a weak search.
Being that the reporters haven't been arrested, we know that it's ok to walk into the 'port and see if you can get on the network. But! when you start using that network to browse the web, or shift data to make it look like you are boarding the plane with your bomb....
I mean, if you are going to use someone else's argument... know what it is. The argument you are trying to use is about port scanning and the like, not abusing the private network of an airline. Last time I checked that was 100% illegal.
If I dial into Microsoft that's ok. If I connect and download the source to XP... thats' not. Even if I just want to use them as an ISP, it's illegal.
Just because you left the door open doesn't mean you invited the neighborhood in.
Yeah, here where the Cincinnati-N.KY iNational is located, it's all industrial.
I worked near there outside, and it was loud. There was only one house, because the airport bought the rest, and we always wondered who lived there.
The people who complained however lived in Ohio, while the 'port is actually in Ky. It was because they were rich and thought that the flights should go over the 'lesser' neighborhoods. Thankfully no one bought that idea.
I guess I might finally have something to do with a laptop and a WiFi card the next time I fly...
I'm sure you are breaking a large number of laws. If not, I'm sure some bills will be sponsored in your name!
Please kids, don't try this. Messing with aircraft [anything] is a big no-no. Someone was on local TV once complaining about the airport noise level. This hillbilly said that he would shoot at a plane if the didn't stop going over his house. Stupid, stupid man. He was arrested and even served 3 days.
Reminds me of this Gallagher joke: Why don't they just give the homes by the airport to deaf people?
Because silly, the MPAA, RIAA says so. Didn't you learn anything in High School gov't class? Business runs the politics of this nation. Because cash runs the nation.
Seriously though, if the content holders put up the campaign money politicians have no problem walking all over the telco's.
What do we need 100Mb/s for? Movies, TV and Music, just like you said. People don't want to watch something for 20 seconds and then see 'buffering' watch for 20 and then see 'buff..
Educational material [propaganda?] could be served up. Instead of the President trying to get on the network, you can simply click "President" and bam!
But you are right again about 1.5 Mb/s being fast 'enough'. But the problem is the word 'enough'. Everyone seems to have this attitude that 'you don't need this' or that is fast 'enough'... but why?
Why not push it to the limit? I mean, VoIP while watching DVD quality streamed media and getting debian ISO's at once would be nice. It could eliminate legacy POTS, maybe even cable. But then again, I've got HBO on Demand and I can watch that and get 1.5Mbit at the same time... so that makes me wonder.
I agree, give us cheap T1, and let me do the work.
I'll get a few old machines, load up linux, and I can easily supply my neighbors with access. My two closest neighbors [on both sides] pay $40 a piece for their ISP. I also pay $40. So that's $120/month.
Our network can be setup with minimal hardware costs, in all reality. A few pentiums [I, One] and a gang of NICs. Hell, I'd even let them run what ever service they want. No need for load-balancing servers, etc.
I mean, how hard is it? It isn't hard at all. I signed up for a local dial-up service once and the tech support was done by ONE guy, the owner. I was like the 10th customer, and was invited to the NOC after calling him for help with an e-mail problem [someone I didn't know mailed me decent and two other games and it was #1 in the box!~200MB over 33.6]. He ran all MS servers, but it was pretty light. For two days I kinda worked there [so I could play quake on his T1:-)] and there actually wasn't much to it.
That was waaay before I got into linux and now I know I can do the same thing he did. Even more. The only thing I didn't understand was the phone lines. He used portmasters, I think. His T1 was run through a pipe right to the NOC from the local bell [you can see inside their center through it]. But being that we would be using a T1 and ethernet, any PC can connect to the service.
Hell, we could run the ethernet over a barbed wire! We already have a fence.
The guy is out of business now because another ISP became _huge_ at the same time.
I know this is modded down, but it actually is something to think about.
Maybe that 'light' people see is your 'soul'[?] escaping from the gravastar or what-not.
Although, I've seen plenty of reports that say that the 'light' and euphoria is nothing more than a LSD trip your brain makes up to mask the horrible pain of dying.
From the Associated Press, in response to the Enron ordeal:
[snip]
The spokesman [Ari] said Bush is always ``looking out to protect America's jobs and taxpayers' money.'' He noted, for example, that Bush has talked to China about purchasing a Boeing aircraft. [snip]
I'm always looking in this paper for the dumb shit they report, but this is got to be the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
Of course they want them to buy Boeing aircraft, the special ones.
I must somewhat defend the CIA or whoever did this. I mean, they spy on us... why not spy on them for a change. I'm sure the Chinese have planted a few bugs here and there.
Shaggy has had at least two hits, one more than Steve Miller Band.
No, I'm sorry, but most artists are about selling their product. Sometimes there are self-less artists out there, but you don't hear them on the radio... no matter what genre you like. This even goes for painters etc. Even John Lennon, imagine it, was into making some cash.
You stated that Tupac was one of the no-ability, rip-off artists. Yes you did. Doesn't matter because you shouldn't have an opinion on something you know nothing about. I HATE GOAT SEX?
It's simple. When you use something, or sample, the copyright holder gets a point on the album. Maybe two. This goes back to Sugar Hill days. If I used your beat, you get a 'point'. I ususally get 30-40 points. The record label gets the rest [out of 100] and uses it to pay for the costs, cars, etc.
Sure, you listen to those guys who are out there doing all for the 'art'. I'm sure. I won't even touch that one.
I'm racist because the record industry is owned and operated by white guys? How can you fight this? Look back. Rock and Roll, white's fought this black devil music, then one guy liked it. Next thing you know it's all whites, and to this day white guys in suits rip off black artists. Motown?
Suggesting the music is ripped off is racist, most of the time. Never do I hear about whites doing the same thing. It is because the person is RACIST! That's right. When you can easily point out all the times blacks do it, and you don't bother to look at when whites do it, that makes you a racist. The person may not think that they are racist, but that doesn't not make them a racist. If I liked guys, but I don't think I'm gay... guess what, I'm still gay.
STFU about Steve Miller, I know you are NOT [NOT] a fan.
If I can't copy shit... why am I going to get on the internet.?
Seriously though, the problem is no good content is legally available.
I'm paying money for cable internet, but there is little available to fill this bandwidth. Except! pr0n, warez, media.
Since my ISP ownes the rights to most of the content out there, they shouldn't be mad if I take something for myself.
I've found a place to watch Gorillas in full screen-awsome quality Real video. Other than this, there is very little out there besides bland web-pages. Sure getting linux iso's is nice, but that's a small part of the broadband market. One page I like is netbroadcaster.com, even though it's pop-up city.

Let's examine the doctrines to answer this question.
An extreme right would war on with opposing states to destroy them, and war wouldn't stop. Eventually the state, which is supreme, would turn inward to cleanse the public. Extreme right'rs believe that they are supreme for any number of reasons. Think of a King times 1000. Or even the state run by the Klan.
An extreme left would war with any states which oppose them. A state would be set up, and during a transition period that state would protect it's workers while taxes are increased to such a high rate. After this, and other states fall by their own demise, all the public would be equal. The state would dissolve when it comes to this point. The only thing the state would do is oversee the *correct* distribution of wealth.
I think that the 'circle' isn't there, but they meet in the middle the right way. Because of this, most of our western political systems seem to work well. We want freedom, possesions, but we want equal treatment under the law. Under fascism anyone deemed 'inferior' is destroyed. Under communism, everyone has the same rights, but nothing is unique. Neither system has truely been practiced on earth. At least not on a national scale. A 'commune' may work, and there are fascists walking around today trying to administer 'justice'.
Here is the political spectrum for your reference:
|Communism|Liberal|Center|Conservative|Fascist|
In fact, see my sig!
Other than the basic ideals that we all know [economy and control] of there is another difference between the right and left extremes we are speaking of.
Fascists [in doctrine] are to war with everyone in the world until only them, the supreme race/society is left, leaving a 'virtual' utopia for that superior state. The communists believe that the only war needed would be destroy the ones who oppose communism. Take WWII. If Hitler, the fascist, would have continued the war wouldn't have ever ended.
Communism though, is fascist in effect if you don't want to be a communist.

I wonder if China will GPL their filtering software?
Don't you mean the mods they made after they got it from the NSA?
Of course they aren't going to release it! Not because there is some huge secret, but because no one is going to make them. Is GNU/Linus going to march into T.Square and demand they do?
I'm not being down on linux either, just gov't. It's almost as fun as trying to hit up on M$, but I'll stick to that.
I would be more interested in the word list. I'm sure the NSA list is similar to this [my] email I like to send out to get the alarms to go off in Washington. Of course it should be updated for the 'new world' we live in.

Quite correct.
Although we can debate if they are really communists, they aren't fascists.
China is to the far left, the extreme. Fascists are the extreme to the right.
Are they communists? They can't be because they haven't reached that point where 'everyone knows your name'... I mean 'everyone gets the same'.

Nothing can go faster than light, so you'd never make it out of such a place.
o f. light.ap/
Unless said light is going through cesium vapor, but the vapor would also be 'sucked' into the hole... so it's kinda moot huh?

I know this is modded down, but it actually is something to think about.
Maybe that 'light' people see is your 'soul'[?] escaping from the gravastar or what-not.
Although, I've seen plenty of reports that say that the 'light' and euphoria is nothing more than a LSD trip your brain makes up to mask the horrible pain of dying.
Ok, I found a web page for it!
From the Associated Press, in response to the Enron ordeal:
[snip]
The spokesman [Ari] said Bush is always ``looking out to protect America's jobs and taxpayers' money.'' He noted, for example, that Bush has talked to China about purchasing a Boeing aircraft.

I'm always looking in this paper for the dumb shit they report, but this is got to be the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
Of course they want them to buy Boeing aircraft, the special ones.
I must somewhat defend the CIA or whoever did this. I mean, they spy on us... why not spy on them for a change. I'm sure the Chinese have planted a few bugs here and there.
It's just funny they got caught is all.
Oh... here I go.
Shaggy has had at least two hits, one more than Steve Miller Band.
No, I'm sorry, but most artists are about selling their product. Sometimes there are self-less artists out there, but you don't hear them on the radio... no matter what genre you like. This even goes for painters etc. Even John Lennon, imagine it, was into making some cash.
You stated that Tupac was one of the no-ability, rip-off artists. Yes you did. Doesn't matter because you shouldn't have an opinion on something you know nothing about. I HATE GOAT SEX?
It's simple. When you use something, or sample, the copyright holder gets a point on the album. Maybe two. This goes back to Sugar Hill days. If I used your beat, you get a 'point'. I ususally get 30-40 points. The record label gets the rest [out of 100] and uses it to pay for the costs, cars, etc.
Sure, you listen to those guys who are out there doing all for the 'art'. I'm sure. I won't even touch that one.
I'm racist because the record industry is owned and operated by white guys? How can you fight this? Look back. Rock and Roll, white's fought this black devil music, then one guy liked it. Next thing you know it's all whites, and to this day white guys in suits rip off black artists. Motown?
Suggesting the music is ripped off is racist, most of the time. Never do I hear about whites doing the same thing. It is because the person is RACIST! That's right. When you can easily point out all the times blacks do it, and you don't bother to look at when whites do it, that makes you a racist. The person may not think that they are racist, but that doesn't not make them a racist. If I liked guys, but I don't think I'm gay... guess what, I'm still gay.
STFU about Steve Miller, I know you are NOT [NOT] a fan.
I'm sorry, the story was incorrectly reported as the cliet being S@H.
I read this a while back, but they were stating then that it was S@H
If I can't copy shit... why am I going to get on the internet.?
Seriously though, the problem is no good content is legally available.
I'm paying money for cable internet, but there is little available to fill this bandwidth. Except! pr0n, warez, media.
Since my ISP ownes the rights to most of the content out there, they shouldn't be mad if I take something for myself.
I've found a place to watch Gorillas in full screen-awsome quality Real video. Other than this, there is very little out there besides bland web-pages. Sure getting linux iso's is nice, but that's a small part of the broadband market. One page I like is netbroadcaster.com, even though it's pop-up city.
Stop piracy? Give us something else to do.
... of course that they will still have Adobe's products.
Photoshop 4.0 works just as good as 6.0.
