Hence why torrent use keeps going down a bit (with a nice new service like Hulu) and then right back up (when Hulu decides to delay shows for a week) and then back down, and so on.
Attention Industry! You are competing with a product that has no sign in requirements, and low (a vpn service) cost. Keep this in mind and prosper. Deny it and fail.
There is a booming industry in removing the GPS and other OnStar components fro GM vehicles. Sure, most of it is for less than legal reasons, but still... More jobs!
Ooh better yet, require companies to keep huge amounts of paper records indefinitely! Then you don't even have to pay for the landfill! I smell a revamp to the tax code coming!
OK. This actually explains a lot... Or at least it makes more sense than most government initiatives.
Wood already works for "carbon fixation" and you can make things with it that people will actually keep. My mother has some "fixated carbon" in the living room over 100 years old. Just grow a tree and make a desk.
Yes it does. http://www.google.com/#q=ubuntu+server+gui Hell, when I started typing "Ubuntu Server" the suggestion on google was GUI... And you will want the server kernel, not the desktop kernel with a few thousand threads going on.
The default kernel installed with Ubuntu server id different from the default kernel installed with Ubuntu desktop. Short version is that the desktop kernel is optimized for a single user at the desktop, where the server kernel is optimized for lots of threads, but a slightly laggier desktop experience.
They say that one reason is to get around geographic blocks, like the iPlayer that only works in the UK. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_iPlayer#Overseas_availability Of course that violates Intellectual Property law, and so it is illegal. Ooops...
Yes, but Illegal activity where? For example, Online Gambling is illegal in much of the US, but not all, and not most of the rest of the world. So if someone in Iowa is suspected of playing videopoker in a UK on-line casino via a UK VPN, is it still illegal to them?
Ubuntu has the largest mindshare, and the most nubie friendly support http://ubuntuforums.org/ as well as paid support if you get in over your head. You can install the "Server" version, and with "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" you would have the full GUI. You you can run a server on the desktop version, but with that many users, you will want a server kernel.
The scary part was 70% Off topic and 30% Interesting. That means a lot of people with mod points don't like guns.:) And there are a few people with mod points that can see past the rhetoric. (Or like guns) But do not be impressed with my predicting lunacy. Lunacy is easy to predict.
Cellphones, rockets, chemicals... we live in the age of personal empowerment. There is great danger coming from mentally handicapped individuals, as probably is the case of that Norwegian moron -- so we must limit access to some technologies.
But I suspect this is somewhat ineffective, just like security by obscurity. Does someone have any idea on how to prevent such things?
A lot of it has been tested. (Binding arbitration, prohibition against class actions) It was found to be enforceable. And I guess part 2 of your premise is Anonymous and Sony.
Also, the clause prohibiting class actions has been tested as well. That scares me more, as it makes small fraud (under $500) essentially a free ride. Can't hire a lawyer for that.
The prohibition against class actions has already been tested in court. It worked. For cases of small damages, that is the only way to make it feasible. Now they can screw 10,000 people for $50 each with relative impunity.
Buy a game. It does not run. You can not return it because it is open. How about "Not suitable for it's intended purpose" or "warrant of merchantability." All you can sue for is damages or a multiple of damages, so from $50 to $150 only. Not worth the time, (and legal fees) unless you get a class together. Woops... No class action.

I do not understand why you were rated offtopic - I think you're right on the nose.
Because we do not have a "-1 I do not agree with you" moderation. I am used to it...
Come on now... I am an American and can only concentrate on one evil at a time.
its 20 times worse than c02in regards to global warming.
But there's more than 200x as much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as there is methane.
Unless I have eggs for breakfast...
And I got a +3 Insightful for it... Go figure.

Al Gore has an old newspaper he keeps on his desk that was perfectly preserved in a landfill.
This doesn't surprise me. Most of what crosses Al Gore's desk is garbage.
Not in comparison to what comes out his mouth...
But wood takes forever to grow
Yes... All trees grow at the same rate. http://www.fast-growing-trees.com/FastestTrees.htm Or perhaps not.
Please get a new meme...

And if you go with the default, root is not really created. (OK it is, but it does not have a password)
The server kernel can handle a lot more threads. That is handy on a busy web server.
Disable root login via SSH as soon as possible.
Already done on Ubuntu. There is no "root" account on Debian based systems unless you go to some trouble to make one.
But good pointer on fail2ban. Good thing to have.
Well, Ubuntu Server doesn't come with a GUI

Being able to shoot back? In Texas we had one big case of a gun toting moron. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luby's_massacre We have not had one since, because the criminal is not the only one armed. I am ignoring Fort Hood, as that was federal land, and follows federal gun laws, so no one on the military base was armed. True irony. (The moron even had to buy the gun he used at a private gun store... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Hood_shooting ) The Norway story would have been better like this one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Colorado_YWAM_and_New_Life_shootings#New_Life_Church_shooting
Now I will get Offtopic, which does apply, and Troll, which mean "I disagree." Who will win?
