Whatever the name - it could change petro-dollars. Anyhow it seems all the massive research in energy and transportation is going to eventually make obsolete the combustion engine, the driver-dependent vehicles, and then eventually the asphalt-and-rubber tires traction. All very inefficient.
I think a number of people would view it as risk outsourcing, and place the IP under a purposely designed legal entity. Which would be surely incur some cost, can be collected from all people using it. In other words share the risk among a group of people.
Yea, because nobody has an individual number associated with them like a physical address, home telephone number, cell phone number, social security number, driver's license number, etc. The Christian right-wing hasn't blown up over that stuff yet, so why would they care if you had an IPv6 address?
When you speak you aren't required to sign it with your ID numbers. On the internet, everything you view or say potentially can be logged and traced. Many parties have an interest in that information and will pay for it. Presto, public mind-mapping data black market. Otherwise legally known as marketing, credit, research, statistics services, security, detective, police, etc.
Basically it means you are responsible for everything which happens on your connection because if someone else is responsible, you are still responsible for letting him do it
Indeed. Having an IP number in your name is a legal risk. So don't get one, share one with lots of people.
All I know is open source advocates need to stop arguing among themselves and give as much support as possible to developers. Open source developers are preciously few and very often little recognized, struggling with the lack of cohesion among systems, tools, and libraries, under financed, represented, etc. The primary reason for any platform's support is developers and their supports, production capacity and enthusiasm for their platforms. I'm all for decentralized and independent initiative for everyone, but cohesion, coordination, cooperation and agreement are certainly necessary parts of independence too.
Once IPv6 really starts being used (granted at this rate that's years off yet, despite IPv4 having officially "run out"), with its huge range, I would not be surprised to see a push from large corporations to try and mandate that IP addresses are directly linkable to people.
Goo d point. Both businesses and law enforcement have strong interest in making sure everyone is trackable by them all the time. Various criminals and spies as well. As technology makes it more possible, legal and lobbying pressure for it will increase. That will never stop. Let's face it - lots of data is easily collected with no detection, and the legal status of this activity often offers little deterrent. These hidden, illegal data stores exist and are bought and sold already. Some legal provision for these data-trafficking "information services" has to start.
Everyone should share net connections. And avoid at all costs having an individual IP number, registered to their name and address, that only they use. Eventually it will become clear that IP numbers are not people.
No Internet, cellphones, or any channels. Only the Hostage Citizens Information Service TV. If dozens of countries are so upset, I don't understad why they don't engage in at least a little channel-specific Lies-TV jamming of their own to shut up the fool.
If the website doesn't retain info on anonymous posters, then there's nothing for them to provide. Does Slashdot retain anything?
Retaining the data is worth money to sell to advertisers, marketing and who knows what other parties. Lots of places retain a ton of data. What they say on the policy may have no relationship at all. Especially when it's all done by multiple companies contracting each other and everyone just way too busy dealing with everyday problems, costs+margins, employees, shareholders etc. Your personal data is just a meaningless detail of the businesses. It's hopeless actually, data will circulate everywhere, legal or not, approved or not, moral or not, the only thing that can be done is gather and distribute data on powerful people too, join the Public Informaton Agency.
I think the best response is "Yes, track everyone and prevent crime before it happens. Starting with public representatives to make sure they are not abusing the public. THEN we can talk about tracking everyone else."
Does anyone here know? How much information is there on people, who are the groups that have it, how to access it, and when do these laws start meeting resistance and limitations? The Habeas Data and FOIA laws give you the right to know. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_Data. The lesson of Wikileaks and these laws are, information is power. We need some public information and intelligence agencies, too. Enough information for government only, we all have a right to information too.
I thought that at first, too, because it sounds like a press release. But slashdot user itwbennett has an actual posting history and submissions that include various things of interest to geeks that don't appear to be corporate press releases. If this is a slashvertisement, it is a slashvertisement for IT World, not these services.
And are you an actual person, or are you a virtual person creating a virtual testimony to create a virtual good reputation for your other virtual profile.
You can draw a scrawled mickey mouse 1928 clone on a sticker with the text "Here I am breaking the Mickey Mouse copyright law" and stick thousands of copies of it all over town.
Welcome to the age where the simulacrum is reality.
Manufacturing facts is quite old. Telling truth from lies also. None are an exact science, any history student will tell you historical facts are constantly changing. Opinion ends up having quite some weight all the time. And I for one am of the opinion that Wikileaks, Anonymous and Al Jazeera are not into changing facts, but rather finding truth. You end up getting to know the strategies and interests of the players involved, and the party publishing the data becomes a factor in evaluating it. Indeed risking reputation by totally fabricating such a meaningless photo is completely pointless. Al Jazeera knows it's under the microscope the whole time.
American patriotism is measured in other criteria too. Has PayPal bombed any third world country in recent memory? I don't think so! Do they have stars and stripes bumper stickers? No! Do they hate Obama? No again! Listen to Rush Limbaugh? Doubt it.
I'm sure everyone has their own definition of what patriotism means, but it sure as hell doesn't mean you should do everything the authorities tell you to, or align your opinion any other party, be they military, anti-military, or whatever. But I do know what it often stands for. Follow orders and agree with power, and we'll give you rewards, medals, and respectability. Disagree, and we'll call you a traitor, and punish you. Every country has a military, and every country does the same. Heroes and patriots are quite often nothing but useful idiots. Don't agree? Ask a bunch of war veterans who are no longer needed. In any country. They feel tricked, used, and aimless, with lots of training to kill and nothing to do with it.
Spray paint does go over irregularities quite smoothly sometimes. The second C in "chance" shows some defects following a wall crack though. But it's also not like them to do that stuff.
"Unfortunately there is deliberate jamming by Libya... which is illegal,".
I'd like to know how things being legal and illegal there works, as there seems to be no constitution. There is international business however, so some sort of agreement exists. All poinless now... it'll be another country entirely in a few days.
So, what do you propose Europe do? Attack the country? Won't that also be because of oil on the eyes of many (particularly the always so anti-western lefties)? Or a holy war (as usual)?
I propose they initially enable all communications. Starting with disabling the signal jamming.
Pretty much a civil war? Hell, at the rate it's going, the civil war will be over before the UN even forms a committee on it.
I think the jam at the UN Security Council is that several countries don't really want to be targeted in the future, when they find themselves wanting to shoot unarmed demontstators or civilians. Russia, China, France, and the US have killed unarmed civilians more than a few times, though not usually their own. And all these countries have veto power. Something would likely get decided if it went to the general council, but it's the security council that decides in armed confrontations.
I think that's one of the glaring unanswered questions of the day. But I think it is indeed an act of war - and blowing up the sources would seem like a very proportionate, acceptable response to it. Given all the chaos, it may not even generate much reaction.
Actually twitter is full of information from Libya all the same. But live video, or any video, is hard to come by. The same shooting with video is quite different than just a text report!
Will anyone at least do something now that he's jamming regional TV and phone?
Jamming has been going on for days. Reestablishing full communications would be a serious blow to the dictatorship, which would suddenly have their mercenaries under thousands of cameras that broadcast worldwide.

Fuck the fucking Marion country judges.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean, could you explain in more detail please?
And if they don't have the identifying data, are the journalists then sued for aiding and abetting unaccountable subservive activities?
