Really interesting article. I found this excerpt from it even more on point with this article:
Most complaints for violations of the anti-trust laws are made by business men against other business men. Even the most monopolistic business man disapproves of all monopolies but his own. We may smile at this as being just an example of human nature, but we cannot laugh away the fact that the combined effect of the monopolistic controls which each business group imposes for its own benefit, inevitably destroys the buying power of the nation as a whole.
From what it sounds like it would be enough to knock on your door and ask to speak with you.
This is a ruling on the extent of "reasonable suspicion" not on "probable cause".
From Wikipedia:
Reasonable suspicion is a legal standard of proof in United States law that is less than probable cause, the legal standard for arrests and warrants, but more than an "inchoate and unparticularized suspicion or 'hunch'";[1] it must be based on "specific and articulable facts", "taken together with rational inferences from those facts".[2] If police additionally have reasonable suspicion that a person so detained is armed and dangerous, they may "frisk" the person for weapons, but not for contraband like drugs
In Terry v. Ohio, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a person can be stopped and briefly detained by a police officer based on a reasonable suspicion of involvement in a punishable crime. If the officer has reasonable suspicion, the officer may perform a search of the person's outer garments for weapons. Such a detention does not violate the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizure, though it must be brief. Reasonable suspicion does not provide grounds for arrest; however, an arrest can be made if facts discovered during the detention provide probable cause that the suspect has committed a crime.
In Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada the Court further established that a state may require, by law, that a person identify himself or herself to an officer during a stop; some states (e.g., Colorado[4]) require that a person detained provide additional information, but as of November 2010, the validity of such additional obligations has not come before the Supreme Court.
You realize that P2P software is used for perfectly legit things besides the illegal. For example last night, one of the games that I pay for used Bittorrent to update itself. And last week I downloaded a ISO of open source OS via bittorrent.
To get off the car analogy take lockpicks. Their purpose is to open something that is locked that you don't have a key for. Next time you lock your keys in your car, be glad that the government hasn't the lockpick manufacturers in jail.
If anyone makes a tool, likely that tool is going to be used for something wrong. But you don't blame the tool or the makers of the tool, but the person who used it wrong.
How about some other references outside of Ecclesiastes.
Joshua 10:12-13
Then spoke Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the men of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand thou still at Gibeon, and thou Moon in the valley of Aijalon." And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.
Habakkuk 3:11
The sun and moon stood still in their habitation at the light of thine arrows as they sped, at the flash of thy glittering spear.
Psalms 19:4-6
yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and like a strong man runs his course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them; and there is nothing hid from its heat.
Isaiah 14:12-13
"How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far north;
The Old Testament has many other references to a firmament a dome where the sun passes over a stationary earth. Just like the rest of the Jews of the time who have more references in other "non canon" books. Yes, the passages are written from the perspective of an earth bound observer, but no place mentions a correct cosmology even when talking about things from God's perspective. Is it so hard to believe that an ancient culture wrote a book using the incorrect cosmology of the time?
Amos 9:6
The One who builds His upper chambers in the heavens and has founded His vaulted dome over the earth,
Job 38:18
Can you, with Him, spread out the skies, Strong as a molten mirror?
Joshua 10
And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day.
Psalm 93:1
The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
Ecclesiastes 1:5
The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
Habakkuk 3:11
The sun and moon stood still in their habitation at the light of thine arrows as they sped, at the flash of thy glittering spear.
Psalms 19:4-6

It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;

It's cool if you want to take part of the story for the summary, but you dropped out an important part.
The Original: Hewlett-Packard has admitted to creating and using slush funds for bribes, money laundering, and clandestine “bag of cash” handoffs in order to profiteer off of lucrative government contracts in Russia, Poland, and Mexico, according to court documents.
Yep, let's believe the the AC who can crack RSA 1024 bit triple DES in 10 minutes using a debugger...
But in all seriousness here's a neat blog post breaking down what the malware actually does using a couple debuggers including ollydbg before it gets to the encryption part.
Pretty sure I had a Dark Grey faced with yellow border cheap multimeter before 2000. But I don't suppose checking for prior art is too high on USPTO's checklist before granting trademarks like this. Trademark is all well and good, but this seems a little broad. Next thing you know someone is going to trademark red cars with black wheels.
Exportation isn't the problem it is with trade imbalance. Ships are coming and going from Asia. It's best if they don't return empty. So there is a discount for goods shipped back, if there is a trade imbalance. So that drives down the transportation cost of goods like alfalfa going back. An American eating less/no meat isn't going to solve that problem. This is economics. So if there is a water shortage, high water usage should be charged based on use of the community resource. Water costs would make it then uneconomical to send high water crops over seas.
Can't have crop subsidies and then complain when farmers grow crops to sell to people that make them money...
I setup a Linux station over 10 years back for my mother, who at the time was used to XP. Worry less about the distribution and more about the ease of the steps that it takes to do the tasks she wants to accomplish. I setup up an AWN dock with Firefox, OpenOffice Apps and VLC. In the end it kinda looked like ChromeOS does these days... I handled patching, updates, support via VNC. The amount of support calls dropped signficantly because it just worked.
Change usually isn't the problem trying to memorize new series of complicated steps is.
I believe the big difference here is that Google Voice would work on their "data plan". I think that most cell phone companies are very nervous about that idea. They have a very sweet deal charging 50 bucks a month for voice and 50 a month for data. Considering that Eric Schmidt was on the Apple board for a long time I really don't think their is very much malice against Google. I don't see the motivation for Apple to deny it. I would probably put the malice with being partnered with AT&T. I would imagine that no VOIP apps would be a staple of their deal.

If only the MIT license was GPL compatible, and someone could add to it and then release a GPL'd fork.
Apple isn't even releasing updates for Snow Leopard from 5 years ago. Which 20% of their user base is on...

5 years ago about one third of all internet traffic was P2P downloads. But I don't see anyone calling to shut the whole internet down.
Bad things can be put on webpages that isn't a reason to ban HTTP. Illegal sharing can happen on any protocol...
You realize that P2P software is used for perfectly legit things besides the illegal. For example last night, one of the games that I pay for used Bittorrent to update itself. And last week I downloaded a ISO of open source OS via bittorrent.
