Not always, if you sell a used house or car you get hit with taxes and such. if you are acompany that sells used goods, you have to charge sales tax. ( at least around here ). So in effect the 'object' can be taxed many times during its life. Personaly i think its wrong, but that is a different discussoin.
But aside from that i was using that as a point to address the OP's comments about paying taxes. With the most common use being between 2 private citzens ( at least today ), taxes are not the reason to clamp down on bitcoin since for the most part they dont exist anyway.
Around here, most folks seem to prefer the separate buried shelters. They have to run in the rain and wind to get into it, but they prefer that to trusting an "interior room" or a basement.
Tunnels that connect these to your basement are not all that hard to add. You can then quickly and safely head to it from the house. Of course you still want another way out in case your house does totally collapse, so you are not trapped in the shelter.
Screw them. The only reason they would be entering my house would be if they were committing an illegal act and they would have bigger problems. I shoot intruders on the spot.
Why should i make it easy for them to violate my rights?
"Their own" was just to distinguish it from "customer owned", and yes normally it would be provided by the tech's company as part of "his" tool kit. It just was poorly worded.
I have to disagree on the first part, as often times techs will bring their own hardware to a site and copy all the customers files of in preparation for a reload. "please save my pictures and music" ( or in a business, CAD files, or whatever ) as no one ever backs up...
I have done it many a time over the last couple of decades, both raw files or a disk image. I always would bring a desktop before laptops, then a laptop, and now just a 2.5" usb drive, incase they dont have a DVD recorder or anything, and of course something to boot off of to avoid viruses. ( as technology advances so does what i carry with me ).
However, i dont look thru them, and they are deleted before i leave the site.
Unfortunately this has been going on since the early days of personal computers. Take your PC in for repair, and often times the 'techs' would scour your drive ( or floppies ) looking for 'cool stuff'. 'Cool stuff" could be anything from hoping they find porn and be fairly harmless ( since back then it wasn't as 'free' ) or in more current times, far more malicious and they may search for your bank records or something to blackmail you with later..
A private sale of a used product should not be a tax event ( which is what is mostly happening today with anonymous currency ). It doesn't matter what i bought or sold, I dont want my transactions 'officially recorded' its no ones business other than mine and the seller/buyer.
If you want to talk about businesses not collecting tax on a new item, then that is not a problem of the currency, but of fraud and will be caught evenutally due to 'missing' inventory reports and such. ( and it should still be anonymous, no one needs to know i bought a candy bar.. )
No, its the first step toward eradication of it. The freedom of being able to buy something anonymously is soon coming to an end. Not only does it threaten banks and their empire, but governments too.
True P2V also handles the hardware differences for supported systems for you, lets you re size drives, even do it on the fly if you use the right vendor. Just a simple DD to a different piece of hardware that is perhaps a decade or more newer is questionable at best, a disaster at worst.
You also might run into license problems if you have dongles or codes keyed to your ( old ) hardware and if you cant get support for new codes, you end up having to go back until you can replace the application. ( i have been in that boat, even with a good p2v of the system, as an application just would not move due to a keycode tied to the harddrive serial number )
Is pretty much screwed. So these went out a with a bit more pizazz... Instead of quietly and prematurely dissolving into a pile of rust and seized parts.
Is the wrong way to go. It provides several points of failure that are hard to get around, and has proven to be vulnerable time and time again as we lose sites like Demonoid and Library.nu ( and countless others before them ).
Best bet is to go underground with something like Freenet or I2P. Sure, it may not be as 'transparent', but that is fixable by creating brain dead installers and multiple public access points. ( then you play whack-a-mole as those are shut down ). The days of the 'open net' is limited.
This way there is nothing specific to shut down.
Of course if there is a money trail, and there will be with Kim, that is still vulnerable.
What should happen at the most is that the name is given to the newspaper, and they verify if its them or not. I dont think they should just give out the name of some random person exersizing their rights.

Oh, sorry about that.
it is hard to determine sometimes.
Good luck with that. Those who dont get hit with hurricanes, get tornadoes. Those that get neither get earthquakes and mud slides..
No plot of land is 100% safe from mother nature.

High above the flood plain. Takes care of most things.
I have, and they always made sure we had tools to do the jobs we were sent out on.
"Their own" was just to distinguish it from "customer owned", and yes normally it would be provided by the tech's company as part of "his" tool kit. It just was poorly worded.
Since this was about phones i kept it in the digital world, but yes, i know of lots of developers that would make copies of things for themselves.

As far as im concerned you are clueless.
Yes, i get to define it.
Not quite the same thing.

Not in the least is it dumb. If you manage your systems properly and their boot order, its a non issue.
Then you dont fully understand how a vmware farm works.
No little unsupportable boxes here.

Anyone with 1/2 a brain would know.
Now, it may be hard to mitigate the problem for the long haul, but not knowing? No excuse.

Greed, or logic?
its not like apple ( or google ) will lose a dime anyway, as the extra cost incurred just gets passed along to the consumer.
Its news as its a bad precident that could easily be abused if allowed to proceed as it is.
I agree criminals should be dealt with, but not at the cost of another's rights.
What should happen at the most is that the name is given to the newspaper, and they verify if its them or not. I dont think they should just give out the name of some random person exersizing their rights.
Has just been accelerated.
Lucas knows the end is near, best get out while there is still some cash value.
