Only someone completely distrustful of all government would be opposed to what we are doing with surveillance cameras.

Due to the overwhelming interest in the new Digital Gallery we are currently experiencing extremely high traffic. In order to address this demand we are temporarily taking the site down to increase capacity. We are working to bring the site back up as soon as possible and appreciate your patience. Please check back soon. (For information on the Digital Gallery, please visit http://www.nypl.org/press/digitalgallery.cfm)
don't know why this hasn't been posted yet, but its the largest selection of torrents I've seen, and apparently not subject to threats of shutdown because of the laws of sweden where it is hosted.
I just wish i could find a good translator so i could read the comments in english.

I have experienced this exact behavior when downloading porn off of kazaa lite. Except u get routed to a porn site with popups and requests to install software through IE, even though firefox is my default browser.
Like most technological advancements, it was first used for porn.

Unlike SuprNova, Loki's registration required a valid email address. I know they have one of the gmail accounts I use.
I hope they will at least be kind and purge their logs before they get raided.
Site was closed because i nor anyother admins dont have the time and will to fight the legal battles on BT.... We dont even want it to come to that and we dont have time to deal with the pressure anymore because we have other things to do.
..When the do-not-call list went into effect.
What's strange is that almost 50% of our "money" calls (cold calls who bought) were ON the do not call list, for the week before it went into effect!
So just because a person is on the do not call list does not mean they are not a buyer! The reason marketers don't want the do-not-call lists is because it costs them sales, plain and simple.
This particular company placed roughly ten thousand hangup (nuisance) calls a day using a technology called NOBLE dialer. (http://www.noblesys.com)

Big Business is like a Rube Goldberg "Money-Making Machine" where Windows is an essential interdependent part deeply embedded in the system. As long as there are known inputs, and money (profit) comes out the far side of the contraption, nobody wants to touch the internals (ie Windows installs) since that would risk breaking the machine and stopping the flow of money.
One exception might be an efficiency expert who wants the machine to pump out more money using fewer or less-expensive parts, and he's going to do a Risk/Reward analysis for any proposed changes to the contraption. Swapping out Windows with Linux is going to come up VERY risky if Windows connects with too many other parts (including end users). The strength of this "lock in" for any one part is proportional to the number and value of the other parts it connects with. This value usually FAR outweighs the cost of a "software maintenance" contract, and thus Microsoft becomes entrenched or "locked in".
For Linux to effectively overcome Windows lock-in for the most important parts of the machine, it has to be seen as a low risk alternative. This means it has to become MUCH closer substitute for Windows than it is today. Right now the gap is too wide, which leads to a high risk assessment for the Linux option. This is the single largest hidden cost of "free" software. It's not "free" if it risks breaking an operational Money-Making machine.
Also since humans are inevitably parts of these contraptions, they also have "RTC" (Resistance To Change) factors. In a case where there's high RTC factor, *any* new part is going to risk being rejected like a bad liver, just because it's a change. This further reduces "free" software's applicability.
When Linux can be seen as closer and less-risky substitute, it will enjoy much more success in ousting Microsoft from their trenches.
And I used the script that was on Fat Chuck's site. I was on hold for about 5 minutes, then the person I spoke with was unfamiliar with the issue of copy-protected CD's and told me this was her first she had taken on this topic.
I was asked for additional information by the operator such as:
1 - Did I contact the RIAA first?
2 - Did I contact Best Buy for a refund?
3 - How had I been harmed by the copy protection?
In all, the process took about 20 minutes, and I was left with this closing remark from the FTC:
"This information has been added to our database. Although the FTC will not intervene in individual cases, if we receive a sufficient volume of complaints, we may take action on behalf of all consumers."

No, this is the x-ray scanning stations. Also, there are lobby cameras 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 http://lobbycamera1.abia.org/ http://lobbycamera2.abia.org/ http://lobbycamera3.abia.org/ http://lobbycamera4.abia.org/

You might find these other Projects at the Office of Information Awareness worth a look. Satire cartoonist Tom Tomorrow mentions them in two very funny and recent comics, here and here

This was a very popular and ill fated ad campaign. http://online.securityfocus.com/news/308
The article didn't mention water detectors or sump pumps. These items caused me to fail an audit of an otherwise impeccable raised-floor facility.
I wonder when the DMCA-enforcers will start doing to Kazaa users what they did to DrinkOrDie.
