Just because you have the right to know doesn't mean they tell you. Okay, in this case it's obvious they have data on you. But with other companies it usually goes something like this: Luser: Do you have data about me stored? If so, tell me which. $COMPANY: *looks into left pocket* Hmm.... *looks into trouser pocket* hmm.... no, we don't.
And that's about it. After that you'd have to battle it out in court.
From what little I gathered from the german news sites that seems actually be the case. What good does it to them to know that at Dec 12 2005 at 04:37.38 I opened a TCP connection to a dial-up machine with source port 6543 and destination port 12345? Absolutely nothing. So even if it should not be there yet, I think it's just a matter of time.
In a recent Blog Entry titled "Orwellian Europe" I laid out a few numbers in GB and TB as well as why I'm almost all for this kind of data retention. But only with a little passus added to the law (see bottom line in the blog):)
I block ads (at least the images and flash ads) because they're annoying and distracting. Bright images, flashing and moving and in case of flash sometimes even making noise are just disturbing when I want to read a website. That's why I like google ads. At least the text ones. They aren't distracting from the content.

Actually, I have the flash plugin installed on all of my browsers. The thing I install directly after the flash plugin is FlashBlock.
to be honest, I don't know where to get them. The only place I found them was in the ruby package of the linuxconsole project, but asking on their list didn't give me an answer. The programs there complained about the devices not being joystick devices or something like that. I'll try again when I'm at the machine again.
I have a Logitech Magellan Spacemous which works well with the magellan module. But I need to calibrate it. If I move the pad to the far left my starship in WC:PR starts rotating to the right. Any idea?
And you listen to them? _All_ of them? Again and again? Wow. That's something I never saw before. Actually, my taste of music varies. For some time I listened to Brian Adams and others of his genre, then I liked german comedy songs, now it's a bit of metal. But seriously, I can't remember liking more than 25 songs at any given time.

Yeah, because a brute force on the encrypted data will never, ever happen...

It will wreak havoc on the landscape. Sheesh, that question was about as intelligent as: What happens if I throw a lit cigarette into dry hay?
And best of all, LVP will support the size with just a single line of code changed!
Oh yeah, well, excuse me, I left my sarcasm tags at home today so I couldn't mark the funny in my post for the humorously challenged...
Weren't FUNCTIONS invented for the purpose of finally getting rid of goto and labels?
you can also make xorg like that. So at least _some_ Linux folks should get it. Me, I've never used FreeBSD myself.

Of course we do!
Actually, I'm only surprised it took the RIAA so long to stand in line with Sony on this publicly.

what's your definition of almost? Linus applied and reverted it again?
Since eMule is more appropriate than eDonkey for the eDonkey network.
No more TV, that's what. Is that what you want, is it ? IS IT ?
Is not having a TV receiving piece of technology in my house enough of an answer to you?

well, if you wrote them, maybe you can help me:

*phew* already thought my DNS was hijacked and redirected kernel.org to somewhere else :)
Well, here's two:
- Wing Commander: Privateer Remake
- Vegastrike
it is? I was quite sure that it was part of the vanilla kernel and as such GPL.
using the magellan kernel module I get my spacemouse to work.
What's the problem? I've been playing WC:PR with it quite nicely.

Wow. That's something I never saw before.

Perhaps that logic would hold more weight if the universe of music contained only 25 songs.
Well, it _does_. At least the universe of music worth listening to.
