The largest TRACON in the world (Southern California Consolidated TRACON - SCT, Callsign SoCal Approach) services 62 airports and is located in San Diego, California. This huge facility utilizes 10 radar sites and is soon to expand to 11.
Man I sure want a garmin and a cell phone handling 11 airports worth of airtraffic. Replacing the infrastructure for all the TRACONs/Towers/etc across the States is why it's going to be expensive.
The IP number given as return address in a packet is provided initially by the actual sender, which may (and in the case of an attacker often does) provide an address used by another interface not at all involved in the production of the packet. So the return IP address in a packet received by an RIAA detection effort does not indicate even the IP address of the actual sender in any reliable way.
So some how, some magical third party C is somehow able to not only forge packets with my IP, but successfully somehow negotiate a transfer of data between uploader A and downloader B by having a one-sided conversation with A?
I think the evidence they use is somehow more then just a single packet's worth of data.
Typical Slashdot sensationalist story about the DMCA and people get all uppity before checking the facts of the case.
Let's take a look shall we:
If the University of Kansas receives notice of a copyright violation (downloading or uploading copyrighted material including music, movies, games, software, etc.) tied to the IP address registered in your name, you will receive an email and written notice that your access to the ResNet Network has been temporarily suspended for 5 business days, during which time you may appeal if you believe the copyright infringement notice was received in error. You have 5 business days from the date of notice to provide written documentation supporting your appeal to the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Success, describing the nature of the error. If your appeal is denied, your ResNet service will be permanently deactivated for the remainder of the time you live in KU's residential housing facilities. The ResNet fee is primarily a connection fee and not a usage fee. If your service is permanently terminated, there will be no subsequent refund of the ResNet activation fee, regardless of when the violation occurred.
1) You get a notice 2) You get a 5 day suspension 3) You have those 5 business days to submit an appeal if it was erroneous 4) If your appeal is denied (or you didn't submit one) your ResNet access is terminated.
It's the end of the world . . . oh wait . ..what's this?
You will still be able to use computer labs on campus and will retain the use of your KU email account.
So you lose your dorm access, but can walk down to a computer lab . . .
So I guess the moral of the story is, don't get caught, or don't use the schools network to download your movies
If you check the wording properly you'll notice a rather large problem. Almost every web page you visit has copyrighted material in it that you automatically download just by visiting the site. So by definition what you're saying is basically "Don't use the Internet".
This is typical slashdot behavior. Take everything out of context so everybody can get riled up about it. Sure the front page says 'copyrighted material', you think they'd put the full legalese on the frontpage or just a blurb saying "Its Bad, mkay"?
But if anybody would take the time to actually *READ* the subject at hand, you would find this paragraph:

Please moderators, do tell me what was inflammatory about my post? If you follow the law, you will have no problems with this policy. If you violate the law, then you lose your privileges.
Just because you don't agree with my views, does not make my post flamebait.
If the students care enough, they will all cancel their accounts. When the University sees a drop in revenue, they will have to decide.
Pulling authoritarian crap like this in a place where people are naturally rebelling against everything and anything is a good way to get egg on your face.
You know a better solution? Don't download copywritten material.
Do you guys know where the IEEPA, the act that Bush is deriving the authority from?
A Democratic Senate, and a Democratic President. Carter to be exact. The same Carter who thought the Ayatollah would be a better head of Iran then the Shah.
We all know how well that one worked out, looks like the IEEPA is coming back to bite the Dems in the ass too.
Fructose comprises 50% of table sugar and up to 90% of high-fructose corn syrup, both ingredients found in copious quantity in most American prepared foods
Yea, but practically 90% things I see in the store HFCS and not Sugar.
Yay for Corn subsidies eh, making us all fat and all.
I clicked register, and got an error page telling me I don't have javascript enabled (which is true) and how to enable it if I have one of the "supported browsers."
Hah, kinda ironic there. I had NoScript installed and forgot to enable Facebook but I go no warnings so I didn't know what was up, realized it was NoScript and emailed them and suggested they add a JavaScript not enabled warning . . . makes me tingle inside but I know it's probably just a coincidence.

Well he must have only stole the good bits, loaded up the front page of ConnectU and must say that it looks like crap.
Did you sleep through high school civics class? Let me step you through this: the FBI is an agency of the Department of Justice. The DoJ is part of the Executive Branch of the United States Federal Government. George W. Bush and his Administration have controlled this branch of government from 2001 until now.
Oh thank God! I thought there was a House Judiciary Committee who oversee the administration of justice within the federal courts, administrative agencies and Federal law enforcement entities. Thanks for informing me that no such Committee exists and all the blame falls on the Executive Branch! I'm so relieved now.
Since I know people are going to be asking about the name, might I suggest the wiki article about PAQ compression for the reasons behind the weird naming scheme.
Either this guy REALLY likes this song, or somebody has WAY OVERREACTED.
Or they complied with the takedown notice so they'd be covered by Safe Harbor provisions saying "We did our part?" and leaving it up to him to submit the counter-claims like the law lays out?

Somebody intercepted plaintext on an open network . . . . did I miss something?
Damn Republicans throwing away our rights . . . oh . . wait.
Isn't this only applicable in the 9th Circus^Hit's jurisdiction?
No matter what kind of bullshit laws get put into place to restrict 'cracking tools'
It's not to restrict the tools, it's just so they have more things to accuse you of when you're charged to get something to stick.

While Cox used to use Time Warner's RoadRunner for their cable internet service, Cox's Internet offerings are In-House now.

Will they kick out students simply because the MAFIAA sent them a strongly worded letter?
No, might try reading their policies next time.

I think the correct word, considering the meaning, is "caching".
No, I believe the word was catching. As in:
They're throwing all this data at me and I gotta catch it.

Hey thanks for playing. Too bad the Democrats do the exact same thing.
Try again next time ya hear.
Oh BTW, putting the Ayatollah in charge of Iran really worked out well for you Democrats didn't it.
Man, you know you're doing something right when you're the Minority Party and the radical left still blames you.
No, calling anything web-related a 'mashup' is a horrible bastardization of the word.
The link in TFS links to the post about the FIRST payout, here's the link to the second payout (which this article is supposed to be talking about).
