Why is it that the stupidest work in DC? Believe it or not, we only knew that 2 of the 19 9-11 hijackers were terrorists. What we need to fix is the INS(if that's possible), our intelligience(THAT won't happen in Washington anytime soon!), and our airport security. Your only as safe as your most insecure link, strengthening an already strong link does nothing except waste taxpayer's money.
Does anybody really need a car that can go more than 200 mph? Does anybody really need that much speed? No! You do it for the fun of it!(braging' rights don't hurt either)
Maybe it would be nothing against a tank, but you have to remember that the 2nd amendment was written way back in the 18th century. All they had were rifles, and anybody could get one. They had to have weapons back then because of the Brits. I would say that you still need one not necessarily because of the government, but because of terrorists and murderers.(if you lived in my neighborhood, you'd feel the same way.) You lock them up, hoping you never have to see them again, but you know that they are there if your worst nightmares are realized.
Plus, they can be used to save a life. Like that time when 50+ cops with guns drawn ran to house across the street and arrested a guy that lived there. They didn't have to fire. And they may have prevented him from killing a bunch of people. Also, people get guns just to collect them sometimes. It's interesting to see a rifle that may have been used in the Civil war, or a similar reproduction.

Another bad spider is one that downloads as many pages/images at a paticular domain as it can. Have this going on a few thousand computers and you'd have quite the denial of service.

There's a difference between "good" spiders and "bad" spiders. A good spider is a search engine that obeys robots.txt and that would mostly be search engines. A bad spider ignores robots.txt and is usually used by spammers to find email addresses.
These leeches are killing themselves without realizing it. When a site can no longer make money, it closes. This is true for ALL businesses. When sites no longer exist, there won't be any sites to hijack and no money to make for anybody.
The redirection is only for collecting usage statistics.
And what business is it of theirs where I shop?? If I'm not using their program to shop, they have no right to collect this information without my permission, personal or otherwise.
You forget that the company brought intelligent people to the area who will spend $ in local stores and the city will gain revenue indirectly through sales taxes. Also, unless the company is really, really awesome, people will quit and/or get fired. Unless the person has rich parents, they probably can't afford to leave the area and will get a job at another local company. Thus, company A provided company B a service by providing expirience to the person. The person will likely make more money and the next job and have more to spend on the local economy.
We shouldn't tax things with no real $ value. A desk in the making has no real $ value until it's finished and sold. The same goes for IP.
I would assume that you mean that a discussion forum, like/., is the equivelant of conversation. I agree. A website is like a book, essay, magezine, etc. A message board is a conversation. It should be subject to the same rules, laws, yadayadayada as any other conversation.
That being said, would the judgment be reversed? I think such a case be reversed when the tone of discussion implies opinion, sustaned when it implies actual fact.
Feasible, probably.('specially if they're running IIS, you could deliver it Code Red style) Of course, it's only feasible if you want to spend a bunch of time in the slammer. I believe it's illegal to "injure" any computer that you don't own.
I think the government was right in its case against this man.
The software was unathorized non-work(or school) related software installed on machines HE DID NOT OWN. Syadmins can't just install anything they want on computers they don't own regardless of 'who did hurt?'
If you were a corporate exec: which would you rather do?
(A): Give up control of mission critical services to a third party thats only interest is to increase the bottom line.
or
(B): Keep it in-house, so you can keep your eyes on it.
Most corporations realize that it isn't wise to let important company services be controled by an outsider.
It'll probably be as wildly succesful as the anti-spam laws.
In all seriousness, that would destroy what little of the tech economy we've got left. Nobody would write code anymore for fear of being sued.
When they start doing this, I'm going to register microsoft.com, yahoo.com, excite.com, verisign.com(just to be interesting) and 100s of other super popular domains. World domination will be mine! Muhahahahaha!

So, when will they begin marketing these etrode-diode thing-a-bobs? There's this annoying kid down the street...

"A selection of links: Microsoft claims two months of code reviews and half-day seminars surpasses everything ever done by the open source community"
That would be true if they(OSS) treated security as an after thought...

In fact, in the owners manual, most handguns state that you specifically SHOULDN'T shoot people with it.
Most say that you shouldn't POINT it at anyone.

Why should I buy a new copy of TurboTax every year for $40, when there are so few changes to the tax laws.
