That is when nissan motors sued that he was using the domain to capitalize on their name.
Not everyone is being unfairly punished by big corporations. If he had not run car ads, this would have never gone to court and he would still have the domain name.
Or show them how with no passwords someone can get to _their_ personal files.
You need to have authentication of users. If you have to allow no passwords, then make one user login with no password. Then by default uses that account. Those competent employees that can remember(not writing it down) a "decent" password should be allowed to aquire a personal passworded account. Then make it cost to reset a password.
The non-passworded account could then be controlled from running rampant. While the more competent users would be allowed the security of operating in a secured environment.
If your not opposed to a little law breaking, then here is what could happen:
Figure out who provides his T1 and make a little "unscheduled intermittent maintance" on the routers providing his connection
Order his control servers to send spam to his machines (with the "sender" server being his other servers)
Use his accounts to actually send informative emails about opressive governments and global human rights violations. or anti-us govenrment emails. or anti-george bush emails (those would get him a sudden "heart attack" in the middle of the night)
Violence works, but it is best if you can get someone else to take care of it for you!
Besides a netbios popup (stealth spam) probably can be considered a hacking attempt. Just find the right jurisdiction, who has the laws and would like a piece of his millions. There has to be at least one.
Well, if canada recalls all its UN troop commitments they'll have a pretty good sized army. And if the mexican drug lords, mexican army, and all the independent militia (in southwest US) joined forces they could put up a fight.
This assumes that all groups resort to distributed (hit-and-run), organized guerrilla warfare (similar to the first checynian offesive when they drove out the russians and had autonomous rule, for a little while)
1) After being legally informed that information is libel (more than a letter from a lawyer may be needed), the hosting servers are then at risk of also being sued (if they continue to provide the data)
2) depending on the info posted, identity theft (or accessory to) is a possibility (someone would have to actually commit it to be prosecuted though)
3) Just copyright your personnal information then anyone posting it without your permission is in violation of your copyright.
a) copyright personnal info
b) piss people off
c) sue them when they post your info (Profit;)
If the patents are invalidated by the courts and there is any evidence that the company might have known, then all the people who settled can civil sue for their money back plus punitive damages. Last I heard in California punitive could be as much 300% of actual damages.
Russia wont hand them over until the USA hands over FBI Agent Michael Schuler who was indicted for hacking into russian computers. After the US judge basically ruled that it is not a crime for US agents to commit a crime somewhere else, dont count on russia or the USA ever "swapping prisoners".
Not to mention that if you go from house to house looking for windows with the blinds open you will get a visit from the local law enforcement agency;)
If we can keep a hard deadline on our TSA (Tourism and Sports Authority aka Taliban Sports Authority) which cant seem to find a legal place to put the stadium, Maricopa County will have 300 million dollars burning a hole in their bank account. I would prefer they use it to pay a lot of programmers to convert to linux then some pork project (and i dont mean the green bologna that Sheriff Joe serves).
A quarter of million would be an woefully low estimate. Besides, give the state employees a little education in how to use oracle and then they can go out and get higher paying jobs.

Unfortunately, this crowd doesnt seem to care about truth at times. We all get pretty petty at times.
Freedom without truth?
Are you sure that you have freedom? or are they lying to you?
He started running car ads on his site.

He got greedy and it cost him.
how about USB keychain hard disk?

did we miss how this was on the cover of the October 21, InformationWeek under the title "Who Owns E-Commerce?" This will end real soon(judical time).
A judicial time unit is some where between geologic time units and post office time units.

Then they just spoof the sending IP address. You would get your own popup.

fool me once shame on you!

They are politicians. They will do just about anything to avoid a scandal.

I'll be there with my pitchfork and burning torch. Somebody else will need to bring the rope.
