In everything, for some reason, there must be a struggle of some sort. One of the biggest scabs you can open, aside from "abortion rights", is the right to keep and bear arms. If you try to disarm the people, the people may very well disarm you.
But that is the beauty of it all. Even though the United States Government is the most technologically advanced and organized body in the world, our principles are held together tightly by a simple piece of paper. Our forefathers must have held the right to keep and bear arms very dear and close, since they incorporated it the Second Amendment. Because they were persecuted themselves, they made the first Free Speech, and the second the right to keep and bear arms.
That is about all the "evidence" I require for my argument. I believe in the Constitution, and anyone who tries to take our rights, guaranteed by that document, should be dealt with in a just manner. We cannot allow anyone to take away our rights, for any reason. We must stay vigilant.

With that being said, the next logical step would be to get rid of crap littering the net, such as 203.197.23.26 - - [04/Dec/2002:18:36:41 -0500] "GET/default.ida?NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN%u9090%u6858% ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%uc bd3%u7801%u9090%u9090%u8190%u00c3%u0003%u8b00%u531 b%u53ff%u0078%u0000%u00=a HTTP/1.0" 400 323 "-" "-".
After that, it seems likely that it would be for the good of the net to just shut it down all together. Being such a inhospitable place where hackers and terrorists lurk, it is for your own good.
Long Live Pine! I use it everyday, and it is good to see it evolving. Remember the days of unix apps like Pine and Lynx, and that was the only way to do your work on the Internet? Oh wait, these are still those days...
Hello. I use Linux for my fileserver, backup server, email server, webserver, etc. I love using Linux for many tasks, but for the home computer, we use Windows 2000 Professional. This is for the childrens games, general surfing, other users in the home. Mainly, it is just the fact that I have no patience to teach anyone a new OS. Most people that come over are experienced with the Microsoft interface, and I really do not care if the world pushes to Linux or not.
I used to be a big fan of Apple products. I had an Apple ][e, a Color Classic. I would use Mac for many things that I do for my business and home applications, but they are just too damn expensive. And personally, I do not believe they are really that great. If I were, let's say, a graphic designer, I would have a different opinion.
If I was to go out and spend as much money as I would on a Macintosh, I would instead invest the cash into a Sun Blade with a i386 emulator card. For the cash, and for what you get, it is a much better investment.
That's my view, and I hope it answers your question.
According to Bradford L. Smith, Microsoft's general counsel,"...And companies like Microsoft have a vested interest in updating their products; that's not necessarily so with free software."
Since when did Microsoft become so interested in updating their software for the good of the software? Give me a break.
Years ago, before CD-ROMS became cheap, AOL would send out floppies with their software. We would take the floppies, format them, and voila... Free floppies.
Then they started the CD's. Those instantly became high-risk frisbees or beer coasters in college.
Now, these jerks are going to push their own agenda, which in turn is going to stop me from getting those neat little tins and all the other goodies AOL sends out at their users expense.

Well, they have you fooled. You are like the kind of person who would let a cop search your car because you "have nothing to hide". Well, friend, other people do not share your views.
" I see a lot of arguments on here about how he shouldn't be able to find out what stuff you're sharing by probing your ports.
This is so stupid.
You're illegally sharing files..."
I am? How did you come to that conclusion? Port scanning is port scanning, however you try to justify it. As a matter of fact, http://www.sonic.net/support/docs/policy.shtml#aup , this jerks netblock owner, clearly states that Port Scanning from or to their network is against their "Acceptable Use Policy". Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

"...most of the 200 people included in the file have been minorities from poor, high-crime neighborhoods."
As a White Collar Worker, this does not trouble me. Since most of the statistical criminals are in fact minorities, from poor, high-crime neighborhoods why would I be concerned? If I am walking down the street at 2 a.m. in a poor high-crime neighborhood, and there are a group of young men of African descent dressed a certain way, I am going to highly discriminate. I will either have my hand close to my 357 Magnum, or I will leave real quick. On thing is for certain, I intend on surviving.
As a Constitutionalist (or at least, I like to think I am), I am very concerned. Are gun owners next on that list? Or how about Catholic Priests? Maybe you, because genetically speaking, you are highly likely to be involved in a crime someday. The Government should not be in the business of using my tax dollars, which they steal from me at gunpoint, to find PROSPECTIVE criminials.
It is a tough issue, and I for one am not smart enough to provide the answers. Take my prosepective for what it is worth, use what you wish, and move on.
Dell looks at the bottom line, as does Gateway, Toshiba, etc. If Microsoft tells them to stop shipping PC's without an OS, they ask "when".
Let's face it, most of the people who go out and purchase computers utilize Microsoft products do so because they feel that is the only way to go.
I fail to see why people are getting nervous and acting like this is shocking or something. What exactly did we expect from Microsoft? From Dell? Did we expect Microsoft to sit back while manufacturers started toying with an alternative which they feel threatens them?
It is our job, as Open Source, and *IX users, to educate our customers, family, and friends. Tell them that there are alternatives, and support them where they may roam.
I expect another "0" for my rambling, moderators.
This may be a problem we have to live with...

I believe that the lawmakers can pass any legislation that they feel necessary, but it will not do much to get rid of this annoyance. The fact is, these people are utilizing offshore relays. What is to stop them from simply moving the whole business to another country? The amount of money they spend sending out the spam, in comparison to their overhead, would make it very possible, and attractive.

1) If these bastards port scan me, am I authorized to port scan them?
2) If not, perhaps I need to set up mirroring with iptables.
3) Since their ISP (http://www.sonic.net) allows this behavior, maybe we should all sign up?
