Sure, in a perfect ebay where people weren't unscrupulous, this might work. But you have to figure the case is more like, they opened a new account just for this bot (or maybe stole someone elses account), just in case they get caught, their "real" accounts won't get terminated. After their bot runs, they pick and choose what they want. They let the rest go, simply not paying for it.
Great, so I can re-write every application to support a half-assed workaround like NAT
Then you did it wrong. Quit assuming you have a clear path back to the client. An outbound connection from the client to the server is all you should need. Use that as a command connection. If you need more connections for data transfer and whatever else, you signal the client to send more connection requests to you. Even if the whole world switched to IPv6, the same "problems" you insist upon will still be there. People will be still going through a firewall/router, with all incoming connections blocked by default... so you STILL can't assume that you will have a clear path back to the client.
You can't blame your wife for stabbing you in the face when you keep locking her in the bedroom. When you threaten someone, their choice of retaliation may not be the smartest way to go about it, but then again, WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?
Except that this Lori Drew person KNEW of the issues plaguing the victim. She COUNTED on it. This was a nasty plot of revenge. Perhaps the goal wasn't suicide, but it definitely was to cause this depressed girl a lot of pain. I say we shackle the wench up in the middle of town and spit and piss on her until she wants to die. Then unlock them and give her a knife to do so.
Respectfully, no, it doesn't. I'm able to hear the channel I want during a whole drive across the US and even into parts of Canada.
Except when you pass under an overpass or a large, dense tree.
I have my favorite channels where I know I'm guaranteed to hear the music I want
Yeah, but it sounds like Real(TM) Audio.
I can listen to terrestrial radio in a mile long tunnel that doesn't make me cringe because of compression artifacts. And it is free. I can bare with commercials over paying a monthly fee for those advantages. Apparently most everyone else agrees.
Once upon a time, an 15" LCD monitor would cost you almost $1000 for a really crappy one with ghosting and bad contrast. Now I can get a 19" LCD with great refresh for about $200.
If you ever graduated high school, you were bound to have gone through some simulation of starting your own company, probably in a team, against other teams in your class. You could spend your capital on R&D, increasing production, advertising, etc. In the end, do you know who did the best? Those who put their money into production. The reason for this is, the more you make of a product, the less it costs to make them. All things new cost a lot, but they will NEVER get to being cheap until they can produce LOTS AND LOTS (scientific terminology there) of them.
Sorry man. I know I am pissing on the karma bag on this one, but I completely disagree. Some people need to die. Their only function in the world is to bring pain and anguish to all the people that come in contact with them. The debate should be more about "Who can possibly make such a decision" than "Why should we make such a decision". Ignoring false-positives (which there will be in any form of government), execution is a win-win for everyone. People are 10000000x more afraid of dying than the prospect of life in prison. They know that somehow, someway, they may get out of prison. When you die, you are dead, and there is no getting out of it. So not only is it the ultimate deterrent, those who choose to break a death penalty law should be killed anyway... after all, if that isn't going to stop them, nothing will.
Nonsense! Two atoms walk into a bar. The first says "I think I've lost an electron", and the second replies "Are you sure?", and the first one says "I'm positive"
This is just a misunderstanding of the system. Truly, a cop can grab you for speeding anywhere. However, a system like this should be for "speed traps". That is, a consistent place where cameras/cops can almost always expect to be found. I possibly might even take it a step further and classify a speed trap to be a place where you would never think of being nailed, like when the speed limit drops from 55 to 35 at the bottom of a 70 degree slope.
Well, everything reduces to "yo mama", which when converted to EDBDIC to ASCII && 39.21 = 23. Funny coincidence, eh?

I've explained how I think this works before, but got was moderated into oblivion. Hopefully this will light a spark to some of you...
When I type, I literally have an inner monologue going on of what I wish to type. A lot of people work this way. It is a means of pre-screening what you want to say so that it would actually make sense if talking directly to other people.
Also, my hands move faster than I can think sometimes. When words like "there/their/they're" come along, my brain just says "there". Especially in a hurry or under stress, my brain doesn't say "WHOA there buddy. That sound can be spelled more than one way depending on the context".
The same mental clog is what, I believe, to be the misuse of words like lose/loose. In quick mode, my brain is much more inclined to type "loose" for the sound "lewz", because most every other word that has a double-o makes the "ew" sounds. Deep in the grey matter, I know better, but when furiously typing away, such things slip.

Nerds will be nerds and they don't care about their image, the outside world, or those girl thingies everyone is always talking about.
That would be a "goth".
Of course nerds care about these things. The stereotype of the average nerd is socially awkward and generally unappealing visually. Just because they tend to fail at scoring the chicks doesn't mean they don't want one. Just because they can't dress themselves doesn't mean they don't wish they could.
wonder how all those security researchers feel after destroying a legitimate commercial enterprise and affecting a lot of people who weren't spammers. Must have been pretty righteous. Of course, now it looks like they're going to have to play a game of whack-a-mole. What ISP shall die next at the hands of vigilante justice? Will my internet connection go down because someone uses my ISP for spam?
Well, frankly, yes. An ISP that turns a blind eye to such activities as accused, is just as good as helping the bad guys. And guess what... this is a war where almost anyone is willing to take casualties to end it. Now the innocent bystanders know they were dealing with shit for an ISP and have a big sign in front of their face to move to someone more reputable. It is a win for everyone, except the nefarious spammers/botnet operators that were put out by it. There is no sympathy for these folks.
Sorry to break it to you, but more geeks (or hell, people in general) care about internet coverage than those who fly radio controlled devices... under powerlines.
Not only that, but the mere pittance that you save on fuel efficiency of a hybrid, you certainly make up in the cost of repairing the overly complex system when it breaks.
