And don't forget, the overwhelmingly vast majority of the RIAA cases settle. Why? Because the defendants really did violate the copyright law, and they know it.
Or it was just cheaper to settle than to ligitate. The judgement about the RIAA having to pay costs just happens to change the economic balance in favour of the innocent, but poorer individual.
Commit Apache config to SVN. Put common config in one file, per virtual host configs in their own files. Checkout config(s) on new box, with automatic merging of base and per virtual host configs. Reliably roll out the same configuration multiple times, across host upgrades, reinstalls and datacentre moves.
Do the same thing for every service you run. One host? Ten? A hundred? A thousand?...
The end result of the difference between the Windows philosophy and the Unix philosophy is that Unix adds a bit of a startup cost, but keeps operating costs low.
As you pointed out, the rational criminals will simply kill first. You need to figure out the reasons for them to turn criminal, and fix those problems BEFORE they result in more criminals.
Bush doesn't need to nuke Atlanta. You already have the PATRIOT act, illegal wiretaps, a no-fly list, incompetent government, and the big issues in media tend to be violence in games and abortion? You already have chains in your minds, you just don't see them yet.
The government would rather let you have those toys, and lets you think that you will be ready to fight back, when in reality you will be more interested in the next big thing on American Idol, and what Britney Spears looks like with a shaved head. Oh, and if you aren't interested in that, aren't there a few loans you need to pay back?
That is exactly what I am saying, "live and let live". Don't drag me into your marketing blasts, or your charity requests, or your politics. If I am interested, I will find out about you.
Involving me into YOUR community without my consent does infringe on my rights:).
Nononono. The default should be to not participate in any group activity. There should be no restrictions on participating in any activity though. If you want to use multicast, or IPv6, you shouldn't be stopped from doing so.
As for the people who WANT spam, they can run their own mailservers, or pay the ISPs more money to run those.
Sorry, NTT-Verio rebranded last year, so I still think of Verio as a telco (Verio is now only the hosting division. The T1/T3 stuff was sold to Cogent last year as well, when they rebranded.). NTT is a fairly large backbone carrier, and their customers tend to be other large providers/companies.
I do know some engineers at Sprint, and they tell me they have dual stacks in the core.
There aren't too many consumer type ISPs offering IPv6 in the US, true.
Switzerland is far more homogenous than, say, the UK, especially in terms of racial and economic diversity.
As for poverty, the Swiss poverty line is what I would consider rich (MY income is below the Swiss poverty line, and I am a fairly high earner by local standards. Around here, poverty is when you can afford one meal every two days. Otherwise, you are merely lower middle class.).

There is Webmin as a GUI for Apache.

On the other hand, once you have things working:
Commit Apache config to SVN. Put common config in one file, per virtual host configs in their own files.
Checkout config(s) on new box, with automatic merging of base and per virtual host configs.

That is doubleplusinteresting..
Uh? Flamebait? The government IS a monopoly, by definition.
This is the US State Department. They don't need to save stuff in MS Word format, given that they are a bigger monopoly than Microsoft.
I was thinking Europe, actually. Those Europeans have more of a clue than the Indians (and I say this as an Indian).
That being said, as soon as someone tried to enforce me not entering a Federal Court building, the judge would toss that law out. Hopefully.
As soon as the judge noticed it.
Remove the US citizenship requirement, outsource it globally, preferably to two or three countries.
Or just pay people well, but that's a lot tougher in government.

But your Internet service != The entire Internet. Eben when NYC went down due to the power issue, the Internet kept on running.
As long as there isn't a monopoly, the government should not interfere. In monopoly situations though, the government must.

The problem is that you have things like mailing lists, for which you don't want to charge money.
You also have marketing lists which are CoI.
And then you have the spammers, who share the same medium.
Perhaps a law which simply says "Unsolicited bulk messaging is illegal" would work, if enforced.
To be precise, what the customer paid for was a pipe to the headend (DSLAM/CMTS/RAS/whatever), which hooked onto a network.
What the customer does not pay for is the ISP deciding which other endpoint on the network can access that pipe differentially.
Block all VoIP == not an issue. Blocking only some VoIP == issue.

They USED to be sympathetic. Not so much any longer.

Actually, you want a gian Windows logo on it. It gives an entirely new meaning to BSOD.

Nah, emoptionally disturbed teens are easy. It's the religious nut types where compromises get hard.
...
vi vs emacs, Linux vs BSD, Islam vs anything else, US style conservative Christianity vs anything else, 4 space tabs vs 8 space tabs,
where you have people simply saying "my way or the highway". The more diverse a culture, the more compromises you have to make to get a consensus.
Do you think you can get a working consensus on human rights between Europe, China, Saudi Arabia and the US?
Sprint and Verio run IPv6 in the core, as well as v4.
Consensus works when all parties are reasonable and the group is small. It also leads to horrible compromises.
