I did it one better back in the day. Proxy logs were themselves available online. Anyone could look at anyone else's history. Problem solved and I didn't have to do anything else.
However, a majority, or near majority group, with the strength and will of it's people behind it, will consist of members of the military. A detail that seems to be often overlooked in these exchanges, is the fact that the military of the United States is composed of these very citizens, some of which would be on the side looking to take on the government. Now of course, there's no way of knowing how many members of the military will fall on either side of the issue, but it's fairly safe to assume that, if another American civil war were to happen, the sides would have varying degrees of the same access to equipment, material, and the people trained to use said equipment.
For the record, the Revolutionary War was fought by less than a majority...
And the DoD has released their mods to dd, making dcfldd, a useful utility in the forensics field. I admit, it's not a lot, but they do release their mods...
As any cryptographer will tell you: if you have the cyphertext and the correct key, you can decrypt the content.
This is exactly correct. In the classic crypto scenario, A(lice) encrypts communication to B(ob) to protect it from attacker C(harles).
But as Bruce himself would tell you, in the DRM scenario, B and C are the same person! Attempts to enable "Trustworthy" computing is simply a move to make the computer itself B, with C being the computer's owner... You own it, you pay for it, but your own computer doesn't trust you. No thanks...
And here I thought EDE mode was there so that you could do single-DES and triple-DES with the same hardware--just set all three keys equal and the first E and D cancel in the EDE structure.
The largest LBO ever completed was RJR Nabisco in 1989 for $31.3 billion. Microsoft's market cap is $260 billion. Slap on that a 20% premium and you're looking at $312 Billion
But they wouldn't do it now... Microsoft's income and profits are set for a multiyear decline, what with OSS biting their heals and an upcoming OS that I predict will be met with a collective yawn. Pretty pictures make great games, but why would I want that for an OS? Especially if my hardware needs to be upgraded before I can play. No thanks!
An audit wouldn't be required. The details would be in a contract.
As for prosecution, don't hold your breath. If the government gets slapped for illegal activity, they will go to the nth degree to protect the telcos from any harmful actions. If they didn't, any/all business entities would tell the feds to take a flying leap the next time they wanted something. Being held harmless for any action taken on behalf of the feds is implied when they come knocking. From their point of view, they were "just following orders". (Yes, that phrase used intentionally.) B@stards...
If a government agency that high up came to you and told you to do something that wouldn't really affect your company financially would you do it?
Oh, it's better than that. I'm sure the telcos profitted from the arrangement. That is to say, the gubmint paid the telcos to do their dirty work for them! Yes, that's your money the telcos took to spy on you!
...but the use of hypnosis does not immediately mean it's bad science.
You're right, I must have repressed that memory...
Kidding aside, hypnosis may be useful for altering cognitive processing, but it's useless for pulling usable data from somebody's noggin. You simply cannot escape the subjective nature of the whole experiment.
Perhaps I feel this way because I have little to no desire to please anyone other than myself, and the whole concept of hypnosis is to be consistent with the suggestions of the hypnotist. Sound subjective?
The above not withstanding, All Hail HypnoToad! [/HypnoToad_Buzz_Sound]
I believe it was the position of lyrics.ch (long since driven out by music publishers) that the lyrics they post are not the lyrics to the songs per say, but the interpretations of the lyrics made by their users. Yeah, that didn't work either. (sigh) You'd think publishers would realize that easy access to their lyrics makes their product more valuable, not less...
Apparently you're using an older version of Notes then. I've yet to hear of anyone that's gotten a GA version of Notes 7 to run under any version of Wine.
Yes, you are correct. The most recent version I used was 6.5, and that's been a few years...
When I spend 60 dollars on a shitty game for my wife (Sims2) then the first disk gets messed to the point of not being able to install the game what do you do? I tried emailing EA (bahahahahaha) No response.
that's funny... My daughter lost the registration code for that same crappy game, and EA was very supportive, considering the reg code is likely to be considered more senstive than the actual media... Ten bucks and a three day wait (for the letter to arrive) and she was back in business. I can't help but think you're full of crap, but perhaps I'm wrong...
My computer reboots. This is a true story that happened to a customer who lived in a rural area when I worked for a dialup ISP several years ago. Living in a rural area, the customer got their water from a well, and whenever the toilet would flush, their water reserve would suddenly drop low enough to kick on their water pump, and cause a temporary brown out.

The solution is simple! Just precede every post with IANAL!
or did that article suck?

Heck, make your own! So what would a CmdrTaco go for in a few years?

Come on, where's his funny mod?
"...not being able to write the music to CD or a portable player?"
Oh yeah? Watch me!

Or give a bogus answer only you know. My (former) bank thinks my mother's maiden name is "Thehellyousay"...

To demonstrate...
"Using hypnosis, scientists..."
I rest my case.

Would you consider it unfair to sell books with the added feature of having certain objectional pages removed? Seems like a reasonable comparison.
Apparently you're using an older version of Notes then. I've yet to hear of anyone that's gotten a GA version of Notes 7 to run under any version of Wine.
Yes, you are correct. The most recent version I used was 6.5, and that's been a few years...
I'm glad to see a native version, but Notes always worked very well under WINE for me. See what can happen when you write only to the published API?

That's a "brown-out" alright!
last time some software package was reported doing this it was labelled spyware and the company was prosecuted..
Sony was prosecuted? Man, how did I miss that!
And it doesn't work for it's stated intended purpose, either... (Or so a friend of mine told me!)
