The orginal story to this. there it is said to be MediaDefender.
I browsed somewhat through it (did a mgrep on slashdot and such things) and saw that they talked about changeing IP's on a regular basis. So download the mbox and start reading.
She wanted to trow such a party and decided against it, because it wouldn't work. To have a party, you need party-people, not just people. Ask people who like to party what they like. They will anser with the words of the famout Frank Zappa: 'Titties and beer'.
Perhaps what you want is not so much a party but a gathering (perhaps with alcohol). Not entirely the same thing.
I know I would not be interested in any themed party. Even the toga parties I went to in my time I only went because of the girls and the alcohol, not because of the theme. Take away the theme and you still have a party. Take away the party and you have a bunch of idiots.
So drop the theme, have a party, socialize and keep the 'wouldn't it be great if we would have a party where everybody dresses like...' to a nice thought of 5 minutes during that socializing, because if you realy think about it, it is nice to see in a movie, but crap in reality, just as your friend already figured out.
Backup across the the Internet is last millenium as well:
Only wimps use tape backup: _real_ men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it;) Torvalds, Linus (1996-07-20).
It is talking about ISPs. I am pretty sure that the white house and many companies and even individuals run their own SMTP server. So no ISP, no need to keep those records for 2 years. Companies also have their own servers.
So again this is just to attack the rights of Joe Smoe, while the people who bought governement can still do whatever they want.
If I buy a CD and I put it in my PC, I will be able to access it through ssh and thus it is online. So even though nobody else can access it, it is a CD I bought I am not able to put the CD in my machine, because it is connected to the Interwebs.
It is not that humans can not go near there. It is just that they know better and care for the individual. Other species went in and a certain percentage was killed, wile the rest lived. Let people do that and you will most likely see the same thing happening. We just do not want to be (responsble for) the one that dies.
Choose no life. Choose sysadminning. Choose no career. Choose no family. Choose a fucking big computer, choose hard disks the size of washing machines, old cars, CD ROM writers and electrical coffee makers. Choose no sleep, high caffeine and mental insurance. Choose fixed interest car loans. Choose a rented shoebox. Choose no friends. Choose black jeans and matching combat boots. Choose a swivel chair for your office in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose NNTP and wondering why the fuck you're logged on on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting in that chair looking at mind-numbing, spirit-crushing web sites, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last on some miserable newsgroup, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up lusers Gates spawned to replace the computer-literate. Choose your future. Choose sysadmining.
Wherever you want and apparently there is no need for it as not enough people are drawing the line. Don't call us (the rest of the world) later with "Wir haben es nicht gewusst!" because that one won't fly anymore.
Talking about 'My lawn'. I have some people working on it. Can they now stay longer in this country as well> I hate to see them deported, because my roses never looked better.
So the patent is used as a legal dfence, not as something to protect the invention itself.
If you or I would do something like that, it would be called blackmail: I give your kid the medicine it needs, when you stop asking for that loan I have with you.

I do it differently. I text most of the time to people to meet them in real life. When I don't, I often answer the phone and if I do not have time I ask "Is it important?" After a NO, I tell them I will call back. If it is a Yes, then obviously I will continue the conversation.
Important to me means hospital or death and the first only if it is really serious.
My family and friends know not to call me during working hours and I do not call them during working hours. Some of them have varying hours, and the first question I ask when calling them is "Just calling because of XYZ. Do you have time now?"
So yes, I do answer the phone, but getting called is limited and the time spend as well.
It is a lousy system. It is guilty untill proven inocent and the burden is on part of the defence. Let them go to court. Let them pay the wages and then let the court decide wether it must be taken down or not.
If then de acused thinks he is in his right, he can say so and the legal battle can begin.
What will hapen is that most won't even bother to fiel a suit and/or courts decide they can't be botherd with such trivial things.
When will people start realizing that privacy invasion is a bad thing? Companies should not be allowed to sell the information. Not even after an opt-in.
Once you realise that, you should vote for politicians that suport this idea that the people are important, not the companies. Obviously this will not work in the USofA, because it is a socialist idea and both parties are already owned by the companies. Ain't it grat to have a domocracy based on two parties, so you can choose between bad or worse.

Yeah, support is what made Windows so great.
What we need is pre-installed systems.

If three grandparents came from Sweden and one came from Kenia, is the person still called an African American?
Seriously, think about it.
Outsource goes to the lowest bidder. Wether here or anywhere else: if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
