If the FBI was able to get boxes in every single ISP in the US, then they would be able to shut down the net in the US. I cannot believe that they would try that though, even if they really, really wanted to. Possibly if file-share technology becomes so rampant that it threatens to destroy the media companies something (yeh right)
There won't be any problems if you aren't behind a carnivore box. Only traffic that needs to go through the US would be affected. People in Canada and Mexico might have problems.
Writing this post has made me thing of something else, though. If carnivore sits behind every single ISP system, how hard would it be to reprogram them to look out for, and possibly stop, napster/gnutella type traffic? I can't imagine that would be very difficult to stop. The next wave of Internet evolution, distributed file systems, is scaring the shit out of the traditional media. Once the boxes are in place, what's to stop them from saying, "Well, as long as these things are here..." The greatest threat to freedom of speech on the Internet hasn't been fears of pornography, but fears of copyright infringement. The web isn't threatening anymore, its controlled now. But the distributed systems can't be.
Well, I know if I was a big media crop/whatever, that's probably what I'd do...

I really loved their advertizing setup, they were so unbelivably stupid that they didn't check the data you sent them back for any validity. I managed to make over $3000 from them by getting 'unique IPs' (though, they were all on the same subnet ).
Skript Kiddies didn't need to steal credit card numbers from Xpics when they could just steal money itself (and legaly, I read every word of the agreement and i wasn't violating anything in it:)
Of course, Xpics was doing the exact same thing to their customers with their fucked up cancle procedure. You went online to cancle, and if they felt like it, they could just reactivate your acount, so you would have to cancle again, and again, and again...
Xpics finaly wised up to the fake advertizing though, so I only got to do it for about a month or two. But it was so nice to have two big fat checks for $300 each comming in each month... The only problem was that it really warped my sense of the value of money, but I can't really complain there.

should never assume that all employees or associates of a company or government agency are part of a faceless, marching mass that always does exactly what its leaders want.
I have to take issue with that. The leaders of a group wouldn't be able to do very much without the followers. Every single person has a responsiblity to do whats right, regardless of their position in an organization. If their work helps that organization out, then they are responsible.

I think "essential freedoms" are the key words here. If it takes a specific court order for the FBI to read my email, and encryption is not illegal, I don't think I've lost any essential freedoms.
No, it takes a cort order for them to "officaly" read your email. But this box basicaly lets them do whatever they want...
I was watching C-Span the other day; they were talking about the situation in Russia and the dangers to freedom of speech there.
They mentioned that the FSB there (the new KGB) was working on a plan to be able to monitor all Internet traffic. Yet here, the FBI is trying to do the exact same thing?
The FBI makes a good point, but I sure as hell don't trust them. What reason would we have to? I hope a lot of ISPs follow earthlink's lead.
Btw, what laws exactly are there that say the FBI can demand these things?
Why don't US companies register their domains in the ".us" TLD? Because the internet is dotcom, everything else, such as ".com.br" is in a lower level. That's why they want to register "www.corinthians.com".
It also might have something to do with the fact that they can't. There is no.co.us domain, unerneaith.us resides state domains, ia.us for iowa, ca.us for califonia, etc. In Iowa you can't even get companyname.ia.us. You have to go to the city gov to get comanyname.ames.ia.us.
Also,.com,.net,.org and.gov were intended for US comercial, network, orgs, and the US government. Other then.gov, that's no longer the case. US citizen's are supposed to take.com/net/org addresses.

NetSol is the supreme authority here, assuming that the guy registered with them and never chaged it (a pretty fair bet). NetSol Is bound by US laws, but there is no US law that says that you don't need to do what WIPO asks of you. Netsol will comply with WIPO without puting up a fight.

It depends on what you consider ideology, how strong it must be. but it has to be their. If anything the belief that there can be no 'pure' moral truth must itself be one.

I didn't know that the WIPO had the right to enforce things like this. How can someone own a valid trademark a book of the bible?
I wonder if it wouldn't have been a good idea to have TLDs for all the international trademark classes, but I guess its a little late for that.
Other then that, are WIPO edicts legaly enforcable? I would think it would be up to the laws of the contry with the Registrar. But if the guy's had the domain for years he probably registered it with NetSol, and they'll bend over backwards for anyone....
(btw, shouldn't these guys get a *.br or *.co.br domain, or whatever brazill's contry code is?)

Ok, let me try to make this ontopic... The artical said that the glial cells influince 'surounding' neurons, not neurons connected to it. I wonder if the techniques used by the glial cells can be used by artificial systems so that all we have to do is put stuff in the brain rather then actualy make nuruon connections. Of course, I have no clue, since I know nothing about nural biology.

back in the JDK 1.0 days. You can't really blame them, though. It was good for applets, and thats what people wanted to make. One of the biggest problems in the office Suit was that java only supported something like 5 or 6 fonts (rather then those on teh system, as it does now). Also before dynamic code compilation and other speed optimizations, it was slow.
Its not that bad any more.
