Another poster mentioned MSN blocking gallery.php and download.php, I've never seen this behavour before (we're frequently pasting gallery links back and forth), but I'd put a six pack on Yahoo and MSN using keyword filters to mitigate sudden out breaks of viral traffic.
gallery.php and download.php are known targets for backdoor attacks, and YouTube is known to suffer from cross-site scripting vulernabilities. It doesn't make sense for them to be censoring these for any other reason.
Pitty we live in a world where people need to theive to get by, that morality of fucking over somone else is a misnomer thanks to the reality of the world many people actually live in.
On a side note, DRM is still useless. As long as we do not have chips implanted in our heads and eyes and ears in order to control what we "should see"
Perhaps not control, but certainly influence. After all, RFID tags would certainly enhance our airport experiences and it's not a far cry from Pet-ID for tags to be implanted in children at the same time they're finger printed..
I don't think it's a bad idea at all, my points were that it isn't happened, and that the soho market vendors could address this issue as well as ISPs. I'm assuming we were in agreement that filtering traffic to only allow src addressed traffic assigned by the ISP from the customer's device would be allowed to be sent onward to the Internet.
In Canada, it's called Conspiracy, and Section 464 of the Criminal Code says:
(a) every one who counsels another person to commit an indictable offence is, if the offence is not committed, guilty of an indictable offence and liable to the same punishment to which a person who attempts to commit that offence is liable; and
(b) every one who counsels another person to commit an offence punishable on summary conviction is, if the offence is not committed, guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.
So yes, thinking about committing a crime, is indeed a thought crime.
It looks to me that the Asian countries are going to take over real space exploration. That's both good and bad. China isn't exactly known for sharing information, but at least they are doing it.
No, China is known for sharing information with allies.
Companies from the United States are not well known for sharing their technology.
.
In fact, the United States is known to be susceptible to private interests affecting their "foreign policy".
No offense, but every Country in the world deserves to be on equal footing. Military might be damned, and don't be surprised if you see some "competition" as a result.
By a similar logic, I don't foresee a great future for religion in Iran either. The people despise the ruling mullahs.
I'm curious to know 1) how you know people despise the ruling mullahs, and 2) why this would mean there is no future for religion in Iran. It seems more likely that Iran is a prime breeding form for alternate "spiritual leadership" and ripe for the picking by the hard-core sharia extremists.
The most effective way of stopping terrorists is taking away their cause. Believe it or not, terrorists don't blow up hundreds of people as well as themselves because they "hate freedom" or any of that rubbish.
Please stop talking in terms of obviousness and about ways to actually solve the problem. We have a military/industrial economy to keep going here and your words are treasonous! Billions of dollars and human capital have been invested in this economic sector and you dare shut it down through your pinko-commie-hippy-loving rhetoric? Treason! Off with your head!
Well, my point was that an optical circuit doesn't automatically mean "IP". UUNet was MCI is now Verizon, and I doubt those OC192's are only carrying IP traffic. There's bound to be cross connections between CO's carrying POTS, PRIs and non IP circuits that could be carrying financial transactions, for example. The document is trying to create a connection to TIA which had a financials survillence component to it.
Yeah, thanks for noticing my typo.
AFAIK, the Narus is an IP interceptor only and I don't see (offhand, I'm not an expert on this type of gear) any non IP interception equipment here. There's also no evidence of a pipe line going offsite into the NSA itself.
I'm having a hard time believing this is the TIA fear re-visited. There's not a lot of evidence to suggest any wrong doing, technically or organizationally. We don't know who has access to this equipment, we don't know if there are pipes feeding into the NSA directly. We don't know what protocols are in place for disclosure. I guess that's the problem, we don't know enough.
Those OC-192 circuits to UUnet and others may not entirely be for Internet either. PSTN traffic and private line come to mind, and the Nauraus is just one component used to intercept IP based traffic.
A few missles that blast millions of ball-bearings into to orbit, and the entire planet will be locked out of space for hundreds, or even thousands of years.
Look on the bright side, the rest of the Universe will be greatful for keeping our shit to ourselves.

It depends on which country we're pissed off at that day.
Oh how history repeats itself. "Firmware upgradable" my butt.
Gah.
Co-Ops are a wonderful thing. So is Wireless, for those annoying little Rights of Way issues. Good luck.

As for millions of customers, how trivial would it be for SOHO vendors (Linksys/Dlink/Netgear) to implement this sort of thing?
It still wouldn't help the non spoofed DDoS attacks, however. But in this day and age of the Internet, who's to say QoS shouldn't be built in.
No doubt to justify further surveillence of people's communications, but not just for public security, now for public safety.
Gotta love the spin.
What a novel idea, egress filtering subcriber's connections to the Internet.
Yeah, makes me wonder if they do business with the NSA in Acquisition Outreach or Technology Transfer.
Typical Government, the private sector is always building more effecient solutions. Sheesh!

One might argue that it's the role of every citizen to protect the Constitution.
Yeah, although.. Fido == Rogers Virgin Mobile == Bell
