In 5th grade or so, I went on a field trip to a sewage plant... I learned of some of teh stuff that comes through, and forgot most of the rest of the stuff. But, occasionally they get boards (from construction), chemicals, tree branches, etc... If the fiber optic cables are run in the sewers, they have a good chance, imo, of getting severed. And being in the sewers, you'd probly have to go in at 2 man holes, cut the piece off, and re-run the cable through there.. could get a lot more expensive than maybe just putting a connector there in the middle if it was severed. (I assume using robots because I assume sewers can't fit a human very well.)
overall, it'd probly cause more trouble than it's worth.
I remember something about the US having some law or such against colonization.. could this possibly include other planets? although I doubt we'd (the US) obide by that. we've destroyed pretty much every other right and abused every law in this country.
didn't at one time I read that the government was developing a version of IPv6 that encoded the mac adress into the IP, and try to have it shipped with Win2k? or was that a/. comment, or even something else?
"Seiko / Epson have developed a new technology which allows it to print out a video screen onto paper! This may be the death of paper as we know it" now... If you print it onto PAPER, how would that cause the DEATH of paper? I don't quite get this... and while I can see how you could reuse the same piece of paper, the list continues: -imagine being delivered an electronic video newspaper every morning -Or even delivering your speech as a multimedia piece of paper! -Or having walls and walls of video wallpaper! -Or ending more sentences with exclamation points! <-- well, I put that one because of the sentence under the text box that says "Use the Preview Button!

"From Clarksville, Tennessee to Los Angeles, California, and from the office server to the bedroom laptop"
now... he apparently knows that there's an office server, and the SPECIFIC location of the "laptop." Well.... heh... this is just seeming more and more like science fiction. I feel I've make my point, so I won't post any more. I might continue reading, or might not... I don't like fiction very much. science fiction would be better.
"I also downloaded enough information from other data files to determine who I was dealing with. Despite my dislike for spammers, I left the laptop otherwise un-harmed"
now... how would this person know it's a laptop? he can't. Even if he did go into the power management and saw it was set to notebook/laptop/whatever, you can't be sure. But why would he do that anyway? heh...
2nd: he says "laptop." anyone with as much knowledge as he claims to have would know laptops are ancient, and would be calling them notebooks. (does anyone think dead tree when they here "notebook" nowadays?..)
gee... I wonder how long it'll be before they start peeping in on all the companies that route the internet traffic. They'd only be interfering with the organization's traffic... not the individual's e-mail, they could say. Just evesdrop on the Inet traffic that place routes..
how can a picture of pornograpdy be dangerous? if it's just showing 2 people having sex, maybe in "detail," it is (in my opinion) NOT dangerous and cannor be in any way. Obviously the person under 18 will have sex at some time and probly see and do the same thing. So, how is it dangerous to an age group? (no, not a person. This stuff seems to apply for ANYONE - no matter who they are - under 18.) What's also disturbing is that most states don't even have the age of consent at 18.. it's 13 in michigan (or 16 unconditionally. At least where I read about it.)

If the mac address is encoded... SECURITY?!?

There's a way around EVERYTHING and ANYTHING that's done. For this one, just use a proxy. should work.
