And this is not just about demanding personal info from an ISP, its much farther reaching then that. Its about basic human rights and freedoms and who gets to decide what is right or wrong. It is allowing people from completely different countries to negate your laws and morals.
had the same problem one month when i got 'the call', shortly after they raised the caps on bandwidth. ( obviously they oversold and couldn't handle us actually using what they offered.. ).
" you have exceeded the limits" so i politely explained there were no limits when i signed up, it was explicitly unlimited, ad even tho the published AUP still says unlimited, but if there was now a limit id comply."
But they didn't have a limit, just kept repeating that i exceeded one even tho they couldn't tell me what that limit was..
Eventually they admitted ' we don't actually have a limit, just be reasonable with your use '...
idiots. I pay for *unlimited usage', so ill use it.

I am sure a lot of other countries will be taking a very close look at what happens in this case and whether the cult intends to or already has extended this pattern of behaviour into other countries. You have more faith then i. I say in a week no one even remembers it happens as the press moves on to the next Brittney story.
Cant remember its name, but there was one for early PC's that would cause the video sync rate to go out of whack and it would toast weaker cga/ega monitors.
Anyone remember dark avenger from the 80's? or CIH in the 90's?
But its about time destructive viruses have returned. Perhaps if enough machines are trashed someone will finally deal with the problem. As long as its just bot nets, no ones really going to care.

We already have that, its called freenet.

If you are using p2p to get content from services they can make a profit off of, sure they are friendly.
If you arent, well too bad for you.
And have him waste more $?
They can enforce it and you have the option of canceling without a fee if you don't like new terms of service. THats it.
Here if you don't do that, they come and take your house/salary and then toss your butt in jail for contempt.

Not just about cults if you can be nailed for a sign that is 'insulting'.
Most ANYTHING could be insulting to someone.
Hell 'long live the queen' is insulting to someone out there.
But it still costs $ to fight it, and sometimes its easier/cheaper just to pay up even when you are in the right.
Some software wont work thru an emulated RS232 dongle.
Take for example ODBII and I. A lot of the software just wont cooperate unless its real.

No, it doesn't suck, like any complex dedicated app, it takes a different mindset and some learning.
Now that that is over, we have yet another batch of great features! Go Ton and crew!
oh boy, YALD.... Just what the world needs.
For one reason its none of their business.
If you honestly don't see a problem, then you deserve what little privacy / security you end up with at the end of the day..
They have to start somewhere.
That is because they have been trained/frightened for generations to accept this.
They just don't know any better.
And a good percentage of that cant afford internet service in the first place.
Soon, if you look at a underaged teen the wrong way, even if by accident, you will get picked up and tossed in the can.
And the government cant get service from a regular ISP to mask their identity?
HINT: they do it all the time during investigations.
"How long before they slip a root kit on you?"
If you have a TPM chip, they already have.
This should at least be under ' its funny.. '
Its just stupid.
"mighty man" is about to be taken down by insects, again.
I wonder if these were engineered as a directed attack against our country or just evolved to fit into our technological age..
If you really did your research you would find that all those ideas are others and have been in academic research for decades..
Give them credit for trying to implement, ok, but don't give them credit for anything original.
One can debate if a EULA is a valid contract, but contracts as an entity are a legal issue.
It doesn't have to be criminal to be a legal issue.
That is one problem with religion, its absolute, unless reality slaps it in the face and it 'adapts' to adjust.
