  3. An observation on how far Linux has come on Linus on Linux in 1994 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I put together this article detailing exactly how far Linux has come. Yes, many things have changed since the days of old.

  4. Don't forget saying goodbye to privacy. on DARPA Aims to Redo the Internet Protocol · · Score: 1

    That's right, privacy. With an entirely new internet protocol, you can be assured that government pressure will play a part in the demise of privacy on the internet. Not that you had much of it anyway.

    I could be way off base here but I doubt it. Has anyone heard of the new protocol actually providing more privacy than before?

  5. I will continue to champion..... on Viet Dinh Defends The Patriot Act · · Score: 1

    They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.

  8. Re:Terrorist Clause (aka, violating rights clause) on FBI Can Inspect Bank Records w/o Court Orders · · Score: 1

    Again, I refer to this:

    "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
    - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.

  9. Re:Terrorist Clause (aka, violating rights clause) on FBI Can Inspect Bank Records w/o Court Orders · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It seems as though this administration is made purely of strict constructionists of the constitution. Bush's administration has completely ignored what all the other presidents have noted as natural laws, like the freedom of privacy. Our many privacies are now being stripped along WITH the freedom of speech. They're saying that they can investigate you and the librarian (or whomever) cannot inform you of your invasion of privacy.

    I remember reading articles before 9/11 how the FBI wanted Library records but couldn't get them easily. This is something they've been wanting to do for some time. They'll use it to find terrorists, and it'll be a good thing. But they'll also use it to invade the civil liberties of many law-abiding citizens.

    The end never justifies the means. It is an invasion of our liberties and a tragedy to the memory of all who have died to perserve those rights to allow the government to do this to us.

    To quote someone noteable on this issue:

    "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
    - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.

    Here's a suggestion: Use spell checker and possibly give the grammar a "once over" before posting. That'll surely save the internet.

    Have a great day, drive through.

  13. Re:excellent news on DeCSS: Jon Johansen Acquitted In Retrial · · Score: 1

    right but it seems they care about consumer protection.....or at least the freedoms to do things with what you own, and the freedom to share information.

  14. Palestine on RIAA/MPAA vs. xMule Author, EarthStation 5 · · Score: -1, Flamebait
