Uh. Yeah, p2p apps soaking up all the bandwidth. I think harddrive prices are going to have to drop A LOT for p2p apps to 'soak it all up'.
This is the obvious fault in your statement, in theory people will download millions and millions of files constantly. BUT WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO STORE IT?
I don't think any college kid or ANYONE ELSE for that matter, is going to spend $150+ every minute (if the pipe is running at 30/mbits) to buy 200 gigs of harddrive space so they can store all that shit.
Well, he apparently told them how to fix it (or did he not with the New York Times?) - so if he did it I wouldn't think it would cost anywhere near $25,000.
Here's a few extra (useful) links: free lamo - adrian support site [run by kevin mitnick's girlfriend], the screen savers - shot video of adrian moments before his surrender, trigger street - running a documentary on hackers, currently they're following adrian's story..
This is a really well written, thought out, piece of work. But the only flaw I see is: 4. User has right to see and approve all transfers of information from her computer. (Basically says end-user should see un-encrypted version of what is being sent) If this law would be to put into use, we would have more of a problem with people stealing credit cards. I agree with what they are trying to do, but this looks like (to me) as if it's going to promote exploits.
I forget where it was posted (Wired I think, I searched and couldn't find it), but there was a story posted about manufacturing 'fake' diamonds that have no defects and such, so the answer to your question is: Cheap as in Top Ramen. Also, if you have figured this out already - our 'speech' isn't really that 'free' anymore.
It's about time developers start using some extra 'force' with pirates; software developers have families too. However, I don't think law enforcement (includes: legal department, lawyers, etc) should get involved with anything to do with software piracy (unless it's on a wider scale [ie: making hundreds of copies of the latest M$ OS and distributing it]). It seems to me, law enforcement should be going out catching murders & rapists rather than catching teenage 'pirates'.
Slashdot Mirror
Well it sucks for Canada, maybe they shoulda stuck with their dudes -- they could've been known for something other than America's neighbors.
We can send astronauts to the moon, but we can't keep servers from crashing via the slashdot effect, go figure.
When you have free market, people complain, when you don't have a free market, people complain. Make up your minds.
P.S. I don't like linux. *Shrug*
Show them how to adjust brightness/contrast in photoshop so they can upload all of those cool pictures to Myspace.
"You are an idiot, HAHAHAHA."

Well, it looks like all you hax0rz got them back by slashdotting their site.
Mirror mirror on the wall?
This kinda sounds like AIDS.

Could someone please elaborate? Is this transmitted by inter-sex railing? Thanks.

SLASHDOT IN TWO WEEKS:
"Hacking the coke can. Part 1."
Too bad spiderman isn't real. We wouldn't have to waste money on night-vision goggles.
Sorry for being so short, but, that was the goods. Good post.
You can buy caffeine free Diet Coke's.
Dumb. It's called ITUNES.
I bet you that 99% of the people that post on Slashdot are Star Wars nuts. Goofy mother fuckers.
Sorry, on The Screen Savers they made it sound like Darci was the only one 'associated' with the domain, my bad.
Well, he apparently told them how to fix it (or did he not with the New York Times?) - so if he did it I wouldn't think it would cost anywhere near $25,000.

Edit: I should have read the 'article' on slashdot instead of just clicking the link. Sigh, I'm an idiot :(

Does anyone know how hot these things will get?
