It's employed when police have obtained a court order and an Internet service provider can't "isolate the particular person or IP address" because of technical constraints
This extends the police's right to examine a crime scene, only. They have to be looking for someone, for a particular case and anything they find is bound to the rules surrounding that action.
If you're doing something wrong, and they happen to catch you because they were looking for someone else -- then you shouldn't have been doing whatever it was you were doing.
That's fair.
What this means is that there are circumstances when ISPs cannot isolate IP addys or individuals, then it's ok to sniff the whole pipe. Why not? Why should the cops have to pussyfoot around BS red tape just to do their jobs?
Now if they do this when they had the opportunity to perform IP isolation calls properly -- then we have to apply a sober and proportionate response to that kind of human rights abuse. And that means we the people will have to have the particulars behind such cases when this method is employed, in full detail. Do you think we'll get it?
Among the top of the list?.su, the internet domain of the Soviet Union.
Before we get unindated by a slew of "In Soviet Russia" troll posts, let's think about this domain deletion concept for a moment.
Obi-Wan: I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
The destruction of a domain that is of no use, is nothing to be upset about. But what happens when this motion is repeated on a larger scale when not everyone is in agreement?
We have dumb terminals at work and their caches are always clogged. We are constantly rebooting them. While setting the cache to a larger size is likely a good idea, someone at head-office has the perms to do this, so we have to sit back and stomach it.
A really quick scan of the price of windows driver development, demonstrates how much actual value this is for business. Now all you would need to do is pay someone to extend the drivers to other platforms! Eureka!
(01-29) 15:23 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- The U.S. Coast Guard is looking for a San Francisco computer scientist who may be lost at sea after he failed to return from an outing to the Farallon Islands Sunday afternoon.
Jim Gray, 63, set out alone on his 40-foot sailboat, "Tenacious," Sunday morning and was expected back sometime that afternoon, officials said.
Gray is a prize-winning researcher and the manager of the Microsoft Science Group in downtown San Francisco.
His wife notified authorities at 8:35 p.m. Sunday after Gray failed to return and did not answer cell phone calls, the Coast Guard said.
The Coast Guard searched all night with an aircraft, helicopter, coastal patrol boat and motor life boat, officials said, but found no sign of the missing vessel. They also found no signs of distress.
Officials said that Gray has more than 10 years of sailing experience and that his boat is "well-equipped with communication, safety and emergency gear."
The Farallon Islands are about 27 miles off the coast from the Golden Gate Bridge.
Cringely mentioned a while ago that people will disrupt Genuine Advantage as a first offense against Microsoft, so if they get tough with people who have legitimate copies, this will get really interesting, really fast.
Ah you caught me in sarcasm! They were criticized by many for their ties to the Iraq war and how they handled the pressures of international policy, and I was making a jibe at it with my use of the word "debacle", and sadly you did not catch on!:-)
You'd think that after all the positive praise awarded Blair's government and their ties to international policy, they would be more concerned with accurate results than with a turnout of false results, considering Blair's high international esteem in his upholding of the principles of the Labour Party, and all the glory of the left wing debacle, I mean -- debate.
I hope they open up the code so people can see how it works (or fails to work). A paper or electronic receipt system would be crucial, as stated time and time again.
As a highly-trained professional business analyst at the top of my field, I'll thank you to stop muscling in on my freaking scam. Would you like him to stop borrowing from your material? As I understand, you get your data from darker places, while his is allegedly from clean air!:)
If you suggest that Quebec would tolerate piracy, you have a low opinion of the people of Quebec. One of the main Quebec parties is predominantly conservative, and therefore opposed to fair use (without a financial transaction). If Quebec separated, they would support the interest of publishers over artists or music users.
... is like fighting spam. You can't fight it due to a number of reasons, and most of which involve asshats.
The best approach is to learn to cope with it while it's happening (ie: forbearance) and the pain as the rocket fuel that will make your adult life MORE PLEASANT and REWARDING (mostly because the bullies are all working for you, your organization or some lesser place in society due to karma, which is a bitch).
There is a difference between the tags and labels. A label is something that will fits a specific category that has a limited use. You wouldn't think of having unlimited labels because it would be insane to keep track of them all. Tagging, OTOH, is geared towards searches and that's pretty much it. You can have unlimited number of tags and they will still scale for searches. Labels would be hard to manage like that because people would be looking at clicking through their label as if it were a folder.
If anything, I look at labels as trump to tags. You should have maybe ten labels in gmail. If you have more -- get a life. If gmail added tags as a feature, it would be much more casual and you could search based on your own tags. This is not likely for many reasons.
Google will not likely add tags soon because they all have the belief that there should be no added context to searches. They believe that each document should be self explanatory, which is a necessary evil for them (since allowing that tag dynamic in their search engine would totally corrupt results because of the asshat factor).
Gmail is designed the way it is because of Google's ideology, which is their strength and weakness.
Many slashdotters so far have commented on the brutal marketspaek going on in this presentation, but this concept has one thing going for it that torrent networks so far haven't touched on very well... the use of a private share network that is collaborative.
I think Tubes looks like it will catch on. If sites like Facebook and Technorati implement some hooks into it, there is no telling where this could go.
But please, for the survival of the human race... get a real job!
Everyone wants to cash in on the latest gold rush, but isn't it time we rewarded excellence instead of stupidity? Although there must be some form of corrective benefit for being exposed as a petty thief. (although eventually we'll be living in the society where you can't misstep once or you become suddenly exiled from your own life)
Balance? Complacency? A lack of appropriate countermeasures? Who knows how this is going to play out, but many of us will watch it nonetheless!

Let's hope for the sake of AMD, their level of excitement is greater than the submitter's. The new boards will have to deliver something effective if they are going to be of any use. Scale down component infrastructure, increase speed and decrease power requirements. Intel could stand to do the same, but still...
HP launched small form factor PCs called Slimlines, and I had a few customers buy them from me -- so far no complaints, but it will be nice to see these models reduced further and then pushed for speed as well, in the future.
AMD seem to really have their eye on the ball, IMHO.

Pretty damn spiffy.
Thanks for asking.
I told them to buy Google and they ignored me. Maybe this time they won't?

When I first read this I thought it was about the next Hobbit film, and how Jackson was acquitted of all charges.
And when the parents give their permission -- OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

This is perfect for my collection of anti-terrorist paraphernalia.

We have received many entries and have now closed the call for submissions. We will be in touch with people shortly. Many thanks for taking part.
Hmmm, interesting.
Now we can have cheap interstellar labour!
