how would we know that hundreds of thousands of them have been issued? Are they tracked somewhere publicly, and wouldn't that defeat the whole point of being secret about them?
I'm not saying that sometimes it helps to actually RTFA, but anyway:
Though FBI guidelines on using NSLs warned of overusing them, two Congressionally ordered audits revealed that the FBI had issued hundreds of illegal requests for student health records, telephone records and credit reports. The reports also found that the FBI had issued hundreds of thousands of NSLs since 2001, but failed to track their use. In a letter to Congress last week, the FBI admitted it can only estimate how many NSLs it has issued.
Unconstitutional or not, the whole NSL / PATRIOT stuff screams "abuse me" at 130dB.
I remember I tried it a dozen times and it never worked, the server was constantly stalled during games. I watched the Deep Throat ASCII conversion vid, instead. More balls in there than in any soccer game, no kidding! Can't find the bookmark right now, but google is (evil and) your friend.
Oh, how to do it / set it up? No idea, but you might just preorder the goggles from TFA. Or read up on real time image filtering of live video sources.
As a number of posters have pointed out, this is hardly feasible. The proposed "Bundestrojaner" (federal trojan) legislation is most likely unconstitutional and has been struck down in one federal state already for exactly that reason. (Large parts of) The social democratic coalition partner SPD and the opposition as well as civil rights groups and trade associations deny the need for such practices and question that it would be in any way reconcilable with the constitution.
The proposition is part of a much larger bill granting the BKA (federal police) extensive new powers with large-scale privacy and civil rights implications. The BKA bill is not really discussed in public, because the minister of the interior and other shills distract both the public and the mainstream media with Bundestrojaner dumbspeak that has no technical knowledge or feasible background whatsoever. Most other parts of the BKA bill would have caused hundreds of thousands of concerned citizens hit the streets some 15 or 20 years ago, but go largely unnoticed because of the Bundestrojaner smoke grenade. (And the claim that whoever opposes the bill will have to take the responsibility for the victims of coming terrorist attacks.)
There is profit in War - that's what the size of the "defense" budget represents
Exactly. Some figures:
$460 billion in the fiscal 2008 defense budget
$147 billion in a pending supplemental bill to fund the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq
up to $50 billion in additional funding for the war in Iraq
Not counting the money already spent on the perpetual "War on Terrorism".
Had he replaced it with a general image not directly related to McCain (Goatse?) than he'd probably stand a better chance if this does make it in front of a Judge.
Holy cow, imagine that! Judge: "Good thing you used the Goatse guy pic which is completely unrelated to McCain! You're free to go. And thanks for introducing me to such an interesting ho... person. I'm off to check that guy's website!"
was changed intentionally for the specific purpose of having that image...
...changed (for whatever reason). Which would go unnoticed, unless McCain steals the image for his own site and doesn't even bother to copy it to his webspace. Really, I see your point, but this is ridiculous! The pic was on Davidson's site, and therefore he can change it every which way he likes - without having to notify people who leech his graphics. Why he did it does not matter at all, I think. Instead, you might ask McCain why he used the pic in the first place. Remember, this was not a hack!
Huh? From the fine summary: "the McCain page was pulling an image from Davidson's site" - how can it be illegal to change the contents of your own website? How could this even be called 'hacking'? If you pull graphics from other websites, prepare to get what you deserve! It says "Pranked" instead of "Hacked" in the summary title for a reason.
I think he did a great prank and I laughed my ass off - there are some funny comments, too:
> Jeff Croft
> Mike, your testicals are very, very large
>> Mike D.
>> Thank you. Please spellcheck your genitalia references though.:)

That's because you wear a pointy beard.
Don't worry, multiple experts agree that there is a clear consensus that there is no real consensus on what cloud computing is.
all of that was possible not too long ago - go ask your parents. it's sad how we seem to not even notice what's happening to us. also, GOML.
That decision cost them 25 million users.
it's the "shit, I'd ban them too" people that cause these things.
not true, this key combo changes the keyboard language and you end up with The Tastatur.
see the Journal of Jeremiah Cornelius: throwing people in jail has become a very profitable business. it's not insanity, it's a business plan.
wow, 2,600,000,000 hits - I must have missed a major hype here, brb...

you are absolutely right, they should stick to telling kids to cut that hair!

Why, thanks! Thing is, I don't run for office... this time.
It's a conference. If you want to attend a conference in Europe, you present your invitation and are issued a visa.
Utter BS. Where do you get that kind of information?!
Very interesting link! IOW, mod parent up... where are those mod points when you need them?!
Hm, you should educate your users then! It might also help to get rid of those bears.
Falls sich Mozilla vor Gericht durchsetzt, sei die Herausgabe eines Internet Explorer NT denkbar. "NT" für "non tabbed"
Yeah sure...
In this case, you might want to avoid cell phones altogether, because a cell phone can be located using triangulation.
Because it's less fun?
no, what we really need is airliners with frickin' lasers!

Very interesting, thanks! I guess that those were enabled when the problem occurred, and I probably didn't copy the files, but moved them...
