Let's see, L36-4885 drove down this street which is near a known brothel twice last week. It was also spotted near this cheap hotel three other days of the week. It's registered to an important political figure. Let's leak this information to the press.
The following persons were spotted near the local synagogue the last four sabbaths:...
Traffic analysis isn't just network traffic.

I personally would like it if both the doctor and database agreed on the prognosis.
It would also be interesting to add some sort of artificial learning to the system. Recognizing patterns such as, "people at this clinic seem more likely to display these symptoms, which means that cancer based on the local environment is a strong possibility." or "This patient has a genetic predisposition towards disthymic disorder, and now seems to be showing some of the symptoms. Normally, it would be diagnosed as a sleep disorder, but with the genetic predisposition in mind, we should be weary of that."
Actually, if your ISDN dialup number is in your class A ring, then it's per call. (Or that's how we had it set up for our customers.) But make sure that your ISDN dialup number is local.
We had a problem with one of our customers who wanted to sue us, because we were setting up an on-demand ISDN connection at their site. One of our techs had it working for a class B number, but was having some trouble getting it to connect to the class A. So, he left it on class B, and was supposed to come in the next day. They then talked to their neighbor, who happened to have a T1. They decided to pay their neighbor for sharing the T1, and cancelled the ISDN. They called us up, cancelled the visit, FedExed the ISDN modem back to us, and that's it.
A couple months later, they call us, demanding that we pay their phone bill. It had run up to the area of several k's of $'s. They had unplugged the modem, but it was connected at the time they unplugged it. ISDN, being as it is, didn't close the connection. So, they had a non-local ISDN connection up for quite a long time.
Eventually they went away. And no, we didn't pay their phone bill.
The installer simply says that "BitTorrent will now work under Internet Explorer", or words to that effect. No status screen, no readme, no "install to directory". Just a simple dialog box. Well, it turns out, BitTorrent is automatically installed to "%programdir%\BitTorrent" with the executable named "btdownloadprefetched.exe". So, click on one of the.torrent links, click "Advanced", navigate to, and select the executable. Click OK. Then choose "Open using", browse, select the executable again, OK, click the "Open using" radio button again, (some kind of bug makes the final "OK" deselected somewhere.) And click the final OK. Everything seems to be configured.
Interesting algo. Lots of interesting side effects. Accurate download stats for who and how many times. Upstream connections only during a flash crowd, (or so it seems).

If you're creating a gigabyte of data every seven seconds, and sending it to a rendering farm to create an image based on that data, it would be very important.
Even worse are the programs (games, especially) that read they key's position instead of the character.
Having done some work on a game using SDL, I can explain why they read in the key's position rather than the character. In games, you program closer to bare metal. Hence you're stuck mapping keycodes to keys. (Using "normal" keypress routines, it's difficult to tell, "OK, the user is pressing ctrl+arrow up".)
Either that, or you can spout the good old "information wants to be free" rhetoric, which even though it's been overplayed a bit, still makes sense to me, as a philosphy of life, not as just an excuse.
I've got one of those. Pulled it out of a dumpster one fine Chicago evening. I then had a friend pass out while he was in front of my system, and knocked my monitor on top of the keyboard. I had already crawled into bed, with a nice solid buzz, so I was very unhappy when I woke up in the morning to find him there, and my keyboard with two keys broken off (F12 and F10).
Buying a line from someone other than the backbone doesn't make much sense. They have to sell the same bandwidth twice just to turn a profit, and that's assuming they sell it at the same price. There's more to it, of course (OC3 vs. T1 price/bandwidth ratios are different), but it ends up that you get what you pay for (bandwidth-wise & latency).

Despite what everyone else said here, it would be possible to hide your IP. Route through a random number of third parties, and there's no way to prove who the final recipient is. Look up the Crowds project at ATT Research for a better explanation.
In a case where the copyright owner sustains the burden of proving, and the court finds, that infringement was committed willfully,
So, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize that it was copyrighted. I got the files from someone else, and they didn't have the copyright bit set." No way to prove that you did it willfully, and you didn't profit. Then again, IANAL.
...except that when you purchased the CD, you're required to also abide by the copyright, which means that you've agreed NOT to "share" (unless the copyright owner has explicitly granted such permission). It's the default arrangement, so it's part of the deal unless the copyright owner says otherwise. So, basically, you're breaking your word.
There is no "agreement" here. There is the social contract (and copyright laws stemming from that), but that's the closest you'll get to an agreement. There is no word-breaking here. These are not the droids you're looking for.

Nononono. It's the techno-revolution. If only programmers can write and understand laws, then the programmers will be in charge!

WinMX does this with "Autocomplete". It's my P2P client of choice. Too bad it's closed source, and Windows only.
