I would argue that searching for some of those strings is sufficient to get a warrant for that person's other google searches. A 10 second view of what that IP has searched for should be able to distinguish between pervert and non pervert.
And looking at your searches is not too unreasonable, IMHO.
Just like there are legitimate reasons for nuclear power, but you still may be up to something, better to be careful than to be sorry. At least grabbing googles logs does not require a foreign invasion, and I think the request was for anonymous information. Like total number of "hot nude hairless teen" searches, not the corresponding ip.
Too bad they aren't searching you. Or searching your house. They are searching some obscure files at Google.
The internet is a public place. Just like when you go outside, people can see what you are doing as you walk down the street or hang out in a park. The internet is not a private network, it is a public exchange. There are no guarantees that your email packet won't pass through my router enroute to a destination, so why can't I sneak a peak at your packets?
If you want privacy, use encryption. If you want real privacy, get tempest proof.
If you want the websites you deal with to respect your privacy, read and trust their privacy policy.
And how is getting a number of perverts searching for "15 year old nude" an unreasonable search, especially if the individuals are never individually identified?
And even if they want IP addresses on every perv that is searching for images of "hairless nude young girls" I think that is probable cause for a violation of US laws.
Again, there are two ways to obtain a legal search, get a warran and get AG approval with congressional notification. Bill Clinton used the alternate route when he was in office to get warrantless searches.
At the current time, I think any communcations in or out of a number of countries should be monitored. Iraq, Iran, N Korea, Syria, etc. One big warrant covering all communication with those countries would suffice.
Legal under FISA (alternate route for wiretapping): Attorney General approval and notification to congress within 100 days for agents of a foreign power. This is what Clinton did back in his day. Warrants are not the only way to have a legal search, go back to reading moveon.
And stolen from another comment, you moveon.org guys may want to read some far right extremist propaganda that includes *gasp* facts about the situation, not just wild speculation and what-if scenarios of the ACLU:
The people talking to evildoers are still innocent, they have not been to trial and convicted. We are talking about gathering evidence against them and the legality of evidence.
I personally think that talking to an evildoer in another country is evidence enough to justify a warrant for wiretapping.
This is also enough to use the second clause of FISA that allows warrantless wiretaps with approval of the AG. This is the agent of a foreign power exception, the same one Clinton used to justify his warrantless wiretaps.
And there was legal oversight, members of congress were briefed every 15 days I believe. FISA requires notification every 100 days.
And I personally think that talking to anyone in an evildoer country justifies a wiretap, not just if you call Osama's cell phone. You could be calling Osama's dog walker, who would relate the message. They apparently are only looking at 500 people of interest in the US, so it is not every caller to Iran/Iraq/Pakistan.
Firefox now has an adin named SpellBound that seems to work so you can spellcheck a window, like a comment box in/. before you hit submit or an email window in your webmail client before you embarrass yourself in a mail to your boss.
I never tried it for a long time as it was unix only, but they now appear to have a variety of platforms supported, and it seems to work on my XP laptop. I will do my linux desktop in a bit, but it looks promising.
This still doesn't mean you would be able to get posters to spellcheck, but the tools are there.
Now, if they only had a free grammar checker as well...
The insurrection is largely futile in Iraq. The democracy is voting and moving ahead, US casualties are down comparred to last year (deaths same, casualties down 20-25%)
The US Revolution was a citizen insurrection, resulting in a liberal democracy. No firearms = no successful insurrection = no US democracy.
500 individuals that had some tie to evildoers. That makes them an agent of a foriegn power and FISA allows them to be tapped with AG approval and senate notification.
You may argue the tie to evildoers was weak, but there must have been some tie to establish the need for a wiretap.
And what are the liberals so upset about? A relatively minor infraction for not gettting a warrant when a warrant was not required while attempting to protect Americans. This will not fly with center america.
I tried digg too. Their comments / community are a bunch of idiots, even compared to that here at/. Sometimes voting for articles helps, sometimes not. They seem to have fewer dupes than/.
This is probably just a PR thing to help push google toolbar. Packaging a bunch of already free executables? Anyone could do that. Packaging a bunch of nice desirable executables that most people would download anyway while inserting your toolbar and maybe putting google as your homepage for IE and Moz and FF? (I don't know they do that, but they should try with a prompt)
All it costs them is bandwidth for google. If a few thousand people download google toolbar and clickthrough some high value ads for say "private jet" or "luxury yacht" or "fur coat" google makes tons.
Maybe I am missing something, but I don't think they want to run four monitors at 1600x1200. I think SLI is to get better performance on one monitor, so maybe you run even higher, like 2500x1600 or something crazy.
Nice, but most people here love RCX because we grew up with legos. RCX lets you get into the game without some crazy robotics boards / motors / computing stuff. Middle school kids can handle it.
BTW, for everyone with small kids, Lego now has super big quatro legos, double the size of duplo legos which are double normal size. Quatro runs from 1-3, duplo usually starts at age 2+...
Right. Don't let anyone have admin access and don't let anyone have removable media. Unplug the ethernet, making the best firewall ever. Turn off sound and run it at 640x480 in 8 bit while you are at it. NT should then work forever...

Why not just have this as the next Mozilla Release, maybe 2.0.
Why come up with another stuping name for a project that already has a stupid name?
Firefox is a cool name. Mozilla has history due to netscape. SeaMonkey? OSS guys are obviously not PR guys.
Maybe follow the MS lead and name everything in simple to understand terms. How about "Browser" like explorer.
Stupid. Chewbacca naming. It makes no sense.
Is that one billion copies of tubgirl and goatse?

Keep submitting this trupe, eventually they might take it again.
What will we call the fourth version of the same article? Quadrupe? Qupe?

Yep, me too.

I think you can make Word use eps graphics, but that only prints on a PS printer.
You can put a tiff preview in a eps using epstool, but it is bitmapped and crappy. Not sure if that helps Word print on non PS printers.
And I think Word handles wmf (as the recent exploit suggests) and I think you can do some really crappy vector stuff using wmf.
I do all my stuff in lyx -> latex using tgif for eps figs. Makes great eps, and you are not stuck using a propriatary binary format.

1,000,000 english pages at 1 kb per is only 1 GB. Images would kill you, they look to be at 300 GB currently.
