It may be technically legal, as it is currently public record, but it's still morally wrong to do this. Once you are convicted, tweet away, but until you are convicted the 'state' should honor the spirit of the law, where you are presumed innocent and not go out of its way to wave your name around in the media.
Beyond that, i think that all records of an accused should be destroyed if they are shown not guilty by court.
Personally, i think they knew this sort of nonsense would be the outcome. They had no chance in hell of killing all enough of us to make a real difference, but knew a carefully executed 'media oriented' strike would cause us to be our own worst enemy for decades to come, and effectively kill our way of life ( which they despise ).
But if I were in their shoes, I'd say: "I'm sorry sir; we've exhausted our diagnostic capabilities without more closely examining your server. Without the root password, there's nothing more we can do for you."
If it was my data center i wouldn't even host you. ( tho i would at least inform you first, unless it was via court order. you know i am responsible for whats in my building, regardless of the fact I'm selling services.. )
Aren't most virtual now anyway ( jails, etc ) and you are 'rooted' by the nature of how things work? Its THEIR hardware, their datacenter remember... ( unless you have a special relationship and you bought your own box )
If you don't like the way things are done, change providers or host it yourself.
I agree totally that this is wrong, and the first mistake they make the ACLU will be all over them and run them into the ground, with payment for damages.
if they publish names of people that are only *charged*, it needs to be stopped and those responsible put in jail. While it is technically public record, there is no need to broadcast a persons name just due to suspicion and would just end up ruining peoples lives for nothing.
Now, if they want to publish people *convicted*, and the story just used the wrong term, more power too them.
Right, because Microsoft is making a profit off licensing the.NET framework..
No, but they are smart enough to know if you can lock in as many people into your frameworks ( even if its just a virtual lock due to knowledge ), it only increases market share way down the road.
You have to think of the BIG picture, not what you can see if you look around your cube walls.
Yep, i agree 100%. A manager should never ask his people to do what he isn't willing to do himself. He should provide direction, help facilitate, directly assist when needed, but mostly stay out of the way. If he has to 'babysit' his employees, then there are other issues at hand that need to be dealt with.

If you're charged with DWI it's because you failed a breathalyzer and sobriety test. You were drunk.
Until you have had your day in court you are presumed innocent by law in this country. Period.

So again i ask, who really won the war?
After being on hold for 30 minutes: "Officer, i saw a crossing, 50 miles from any human post.. "
By the time they mobilize, all the cameras will do is allow us to count how many crossed over, for the census.
They did for a while.. "unix services for windows". Seems to still be around:

We needed another crisis, gotta get that government program in place.. appoint a 'microbe czar'... raise our taxes.. save us!!
More room on your flight as more people just say 'forget it' and drive for their next family trip?
Of course then they will enact mandatory searches of our cars....

I used to read stuff like this and get upset. But then I realized that my entire generation knows it's baloney. They can't explain it intellectually.
They don't have to, since they have bought the legal system.

At 3x the projected cost, and 4x the timeframe..
So they can generate revenue of corse... If you don't need them, then they become a marginal player at best and will lose all their power.
All joking aside, someone needs to step up and provide a corporate solution that doesn't have a single point of failure that is out of your control.
Or BSD iso, etc.. But still, would YOU want to be on a list, for doing nothing wrong?
Not only that, who is going to be stupid enough to admit, on record, that they 'might be a pirate'?
...and is laughing all the way to the bank with the ad impressions from fanboys/haters.
True, but his business model seems to be working....
Some states even have online forms to do it for you, for their taxes....
Hey, the female members of the team may want some tongue too, don't forget about them as you toss BJ's around and review breasts..

Ok, this has gone WAY too far .. we all need to just take a step back..
All the carriers care about is getting people to use air time.. anything else is an expense the cuts into their profits. .
Where do i get in on this deal? Since rational logic no longer applies, i want to sue someone too !
