Not important - just useful. All those situations happen very rarely, so rarely that I wouldn't be surprised if they happened to less than 1 in a 100,000 people on airplanes. So I'm not too big on sacrificing individual liberties for a 0.001% chance that might help in some sort of criminal investigation. Most are also applicable to any form of transportation, not just airplanes.
A LEO can indeed search you any time with no cause if you consent. As long as you are not in custody if you consent to a search it is legal.
Dude, you don't understand the meaning of "common consent." In this context common doesn't mean "happens all the time" it means widespread. In other words, just because a lot of people believe that these searches are ok does not mean that they are ok.

However the corollary is, "But a complete lack of knowledge can be fatal."
I want as much information as possible, if that means it is only partial information, then inform me of that at the time and let me make my own judgements.
As others have mentioned, you can't trust your doctor anymore (you probably never could, society just figured it out after too many, "oopses"). Everybody's got a horror story or two of a doctor who couldn't diagnose is way out of a paper bag. Any patient who is serious about their health is already doing their own research and attempting to validate their doctor's statements. To do otherwise is just too risky.
In my own experience, in a number of areas of more obscure medicine, I've found that a dedicated amatuer (as in the person who has the actual ailment and who's life is on the line) can easily get up to speed and become more knowlegable than their doctor, specialist or not, on the specifics of their own affliction. The support groups on the net as well as online databases and general "web sites" are hugely beneficial in this kind of search. Of course there is plenty of chaffe that needs separating from the wheat, but that's just part of the job of doing your own research.
In this context "give up" means stop pretending to be full service and to start being real clear and up front about exactly what is allowed and what isn't.
Except that things change so quickly on the net that any list of allowed/disallowed uses would be quickly obsolete. If they want to follow that kind of mindset, they will ultimately find themselves counting bytes and imposing limits at that level because anything higher up the OSI model will change to rapidly to be controllable.
If this kind of thing becomes wide-spread, you can expect an arms race in the technology. It won't take long for the p2p guys to come up with stuff that is able to dynamically change ports as often as needed. Eventually the ISPs will either have to accept it and work with it or give up.
Meanwhile, don't forget that cable companies sell other services, like television and in some cases telephone. Right now I get all three from my cable company (ATT) but I am on the verge of going to satellite for my tv. If my provider tries something like that, it will probably be enough to push me over the edge to DSL (which is priced competitively in my area) and satellite tv, as well as the old baby bell for my telephone service - and I am not even much of a p2p user.
Having gone through the system with some cheaters - even helped them cheat in some cases, I see them struggling in the real world today. They've got poor attention skills, are unable to buckle down and work hard when the time calls for it and haven't been successful at any job that requires more than just talking the talk.
So yes, based on my experience, I believe that high-school and probably college level cheaters are cheating themselves. Yes, if the teacher is grading on a curve then there is short term hurt for honest students too. But that hurt builds character which is just as useful in the real world as a good work ethic. At least that's one of the major reasons I attribute to my being fully employed at pre-dot-bomb rates while my peers who did cheat are on the dole.
So what? If the teacher isn't smart enough, or doesn't care enough, to know the difference between one of their pupil's own work and something plagarized, then the kid isn't getting a good education anyway, plagarisim or not. In the long run, it will only hurt the plagarizer anyway.
A far better approach to security with credit cards is one-time-use numbers, or merchant-specific numbers. Most credit cards have at least one issuer that provides that functionality. I believe both MBNA and CitiCorp (citibank? whatever their name is today) let their credit card customers generate one-off numbers specific to a merchant and with user-specified expiration dates and credit limits.
I have been using the MBNA system for a year and a half (after the first, and only time, I had my actual credit card number stolen online). I've probably done about $20K of charges since then using the one-off numbers and have not had a single fraud problem since. The only real downside is that you have to use a flash-applet that I haven't been able to make run under linux yet in order to generate the numbers. But, for a windows-user it is amazingly well designed and easy to use. It fits into the current credit card system transparently (the merchant's never even know the number is "special") and requires very little overhead compared to the original, insecure, send your number all over the web approach. Now I don't even mind emailing cc#'s to people because I know that in the rare chance that it is intercepted, it will only be good for one, very limited, use and I won't have to go through the hassle of canceling my primary card and waiting around until a new one is issued.
Hollings's bill was not killed in committee because of a massive letter writing campaign. It was killed because enough other senators were talking money from enough other interests (like Microsoft and Intel) who didn't like the idea of a government imposed DRM (versus a MS & Intel imposed DRM, aka Palladium).
However, at around age 14, I started to feel that the newer novels that you were producing (this was in 1990 or so) were much more commerically oriented (I particularly recall that making the Brown Adept a lesbian seemed out of character and gratuitously sexual.)
I don't think it has anything to do with the books he was writing in 1990 or any other date. I think it was the fact that you were 14. That is about the same age that many people seem to give up on his writings. It happened to me and my peer group around 1985 when were in the 14-15 year old bracket and it seems to have happened to a lot of people I have met since then, regardless of the actual year it happened, the one thing in common is that all of them grew out of Piers Anthony books by the time their 15th birthday rolled around.
DDR333 only runs at 166.6MHz not 333MHz that's what where the first D in DDR comes in - Double Data Rate, as in 2 bits for each cycle instead of one like the old SDR (I bet you can figure out what that acronym stands for all by yourself).
Ransom Love has never really understood the concept of free software. He's stuck in the mindset of proprietary == added value and Caldera has suffered because of that. The same thing will happen to United-Linux if he has a strong controlling interest in its productization. The end result will be more of an Untied-Linux which will probably never even have as much relevance to the linux world as even Caldera was able to achieve.
Dude - you do not understand the H1-B visa issue (the fact that you didn't spell it right is also a pretty clear indication that you have not studied it in depth). H1-B visas are all about using government power to manipulate the labor market in favor of the big corps.
Here is why: H1-B visas effectively indenture their holders to their employers. The law as written requires that employers pay a prevailing wage, but there is little to no enforcement mechanism and plenty of loopholes if enforcement ever actually is attempted.
Despite H1-B being designated a non-immigrant visa most holders use it as stepping stone for a Green card because, unlike other non-immigrant visas, you are allowed to hold an H1-B while your application for a green card is in process. Those applications often take 3-4 years and are solely the domain of the employer - the green card applicant has no standing in the process - which is just messed up right there.
Thus any H1-B holder who wants a green card (and that is at least 95% of them) must not leave their current employer for fear of having to restart their green card application process from scratch. Thus, as an employee becomes more experienced and familiar with a company's processes and systems (and thus more valuable as an employee) there is less and less incentive for the H1-B holder to seek a better paying job because they would be throwing away years spend in the application process if they were to find new, better paying, employment.
That all makes for one messed up labor market, and one that is far, far from the ideals of a free market system. And don't think this situation is an accident. The megalocorps who are the employers of the majority of H1-B holders knew exactly what they were doing when they lobbied for this set of rules regarding H1-B and green cards.
Many people who oppose H1-B are also protectionist in general. But the people who do have a strong belief in the free market understand that the sword cuts two ways -- possibly hurting their own economic prospects but at the same time enabling more efficient production the stuff they consume. These people, with true libertarian beliefs are just as much opposed to the H1-B visa program as they are in favor of totally open borders without any government-imposted restrictionon on the flow of labor.
If you are going to do raid-5 then you almost surely don't want to do it in software, that's why you need a relatively expensive controller. Furthermore, you really do need a system with some sort of redundancy to put the two options on par for availability because a read-only jukebox of optical media is going to have a much smaller chance of irreparable data-loss than an array of disks.
You'll also need another DVD drive for each 5-10GB of data, if using DVD's
That's silly. A jukebox only requires one DVD drive for X number of DVDs, depending on your requirements X could be as large as 400 - that's the size of the largest consumer DVD *movie* jukebox - a Kenwood something or another.
As for data jukeboxes, take a look at the Powerfile C200 Studio which is $1000 MSRP (not street) for 200 DVDs. With blank DVDs runing about $1.25 in quantities of 100 that puts you at no more than $1250 for 940GB of online data and probably closer to $1K if you buy from a discount hardware place.
The equivalent space in hard disks is going to run you more than that - according to pricewatch, the cheapest 120GB is $136 for the IBM models. Ignoring the reliability questions regarding recent IBM hard disks, that puts you at about $1100 just for the drives alone, you are looking at another $500 or so for an IDE controller that will handle 8 drives (3ware escalade 7850) plus you then need some sort of case to hold the drives and the computer in one since IDE cables aren't suppossed to get much longer than 18".
So, at least $1700 for an equivalent disk-based system, without redundancy. The DVD approach will give you a full mirror in offline storage for another $250 but to put redundancy into the hard disk system you are going to need either raid-5 or mirroring - both of which will significantly push up the price because 8 drives is the limit for a 3ware controller so you could go with larger disks (160GB) but they are about 180% the price of the 120GB drives or you could go to two more controllers controller and maybe five 120GB drives per controller which is going to be another $500 for the 2nd controller and another $270 for the extra drives pushing the total up to $2500 or so for the cheapest raid-5 system.
Sure, online storage of a disk array is going to be a whole lot faster than near-line storage of a DVD jukebox, but the guy who asked the original question only needs near-line speeds and the price with DVDs is a about half that for sizes around 1TB.
I am personally convinced that the various intelligence agencies prevent dozens of terrorist attacks per months, some of them probably of the 9/11 magnitude, without the public realizing simply because the government wants to keep those quiet (no need to shout wolf once the threat is defused).
Then why is it that the best Bush could do to "wag the dog" during the congressional inquiry over who knew what when about 9/11 was to trot out Jose Pedilla? A man who could barely hold a job at Taco Bell, a man who even Ashcroft has now admitted didn't even have the faintest chance of ever pulling off any sort of terrorism, much less one as complex as exploding a dirty bomb?
If pea-brain Pedilla is the best example they've got of who they are catching, or even just a run-of-the-mill example, then they really are either entirely incompetent or the threat has been just a little, wee-bit over exagerated.
Hey ReplayTV4K is still hackable but not quite like it would be if it were running linux. It isn't clear if the update that is shipping with the 4500 series will reduce hackability - but it does look pretty sure that we will still be able to do live network video extraction and playback to and from a PC.
