It must be nice to live in a Utopia where all the laws passed are fair and just, and that everyone in the nation agrees with them 100%. Let me know when you find such a place. Our flawed Republic is not it--only better than all the other alternatives.

However, there are other protocols out there. I don't want my ISP keeping logs of all the porn i download from Usenet, for instance.
There are ways to get other protocols running though Tor I have done it I have gotten FTP, SOCKS, Telnet, HTTPS, HTTP, and.bitorrent to all work though it.
Wouldn't using something like Tor make all logs worthless?
On a side note.... don't install this on a military computer just to check your yahoo mail.... it will get the computer taken and sent to Quantico, VA after it makes a connection in Brazil.....opps........and they will then discover that you managed to reset the xadministrator password (stupid NMCI)
and in some cases provided even -more- manouverability to a casual player than even a seasoned Quake 3 lunatic could manage.
Bullshit on that one there is no way any "seasoned Quake3" could be out maneuvered by someone using a controller even if its Halo 1 or 2, I have yet to see anyone that good with the controller that could beat someone that is good with a mouse and keyboard. I will agree that the controller is decent but better then a mouse and keyboard? Not a chance in hell.
Nearly one in eight did not even bother to check out a route they were unfamiliar with and simply relied on the technology to get them to their destination.
This is different how? Compared to people just using Mapquest to get where they need to be.
Yes, a lot of US troops have died, but I'd rather put our best trained military forces against terrorists than, say, stockbrokers and secretaries.
That is where the media is lying to you about 3k have died (last time I checked) do you realize that more people died in a single day in WWII? Personally after being to Iraq I don't trust anything the media says. Can you imagine if the media treated WWII on how they treat the war in Iraq, we would of probably lost the war. Just because some scumbag makes the news for doing something stupid over there don't assume that is all of our military. Just my 2 cp.
To break it down even simpler for some out there, A rapist can be a male, but not all males are rapists.
Ask anyone in IT who's dealt with top management-- I'm pretty sure they get a lot of practice dealing with egomaniacs:-)
You think thats bad.. try being IT in the USMC and dealing with officers. I hurried to find what was so wrong with the Comanding Officer's computer after he demanded someone come right now and look at it, to find out he wanted to change the paperclip to a dog. (sigh)
Windows doesn't need anymore help in that department, it already runs drunk, don't want to add more whiskey. You would think after all of those blue-outs it might try to change it's ways.
Not to bad mouth tux.... he drinks alot of wine *ducks*
This is a legitimate concern, though perhaps for the wrong reasons. By the time these copyrights expire, technology will have improved to an extent we can't imagine. If they're dealing with a circa-2005 copy restriction scheme, I'd bet it could easily be brute forced fifty years from now.
TBH it is already now I wanted to see how easy it would be to beat DRM. I discovered many easy solutions that would work for almost all DRM.
First for video there is a program out there called FRAPS it is designed to record video games and produce video. Well it also records anything playing in a window, so all it would take is to launch it into Windows Media Player have the correct license acquired and then start recording.
For music it gets even easier, there is a program out there called tunebite, what it does is open it once again in Windows Media Player have the license acquired then plays the song at 4x speed (for much faster recording) recording it into a.mp3, it then takes the IDV3 tags from the.wma/.mp4 and adds it to the new.mp3. Then there is the easy approach of burning to a CD then ripping it right back to.mp3. To go even better on that method you can burn it to a virtual drive and then rip that virtual drive and not even have to waste a CD-R.
All this information took me about 2 hours to figure out, from easy google searches. All DRM does is hurt the honest customer.
"I had to invade the owner's privacy to see what I could discover from the content of the files."
He never said 'stray flash' but as long as its connected to a computer that is on MY network that I am administrating it is open game for me to look at.
Excuse me if I misspoke before I'm in the military so when ever I log on a computer I get this, (listed below) As far as I know most companies do this as well and have a similar banner, basically it's the same when you call a help phone number and get that your phone call is being recorded for quality and training purposes.

Wouldn't this be accessing files that you were not granted access to? Isn't this a crime in several US states, and is it really a good idea to admit to it in a column with your picture and name at the top?
What do you think that message banner and the form you signed to get your account said? You consent to all monitoring and your data on that machine is theirs including your USB drive that you just inserted.
But videogames aren't trying to capture one person. A videogame should make sure that all 100 people that play that game should enjoy the service provided by that videogame. It's something of a service. It's not art.'
So how is this different from a movie? Last time I checked that is what a movie does as well.
How hard is it to get into a High-Level raid guild in WOW? Is it like in the orginal Everquest where it got almost impossible because the gear/content you needed to get into the guild was almost impossible to get into without having a large guild, or in WoW all you really need to be is level 60 and high playtime
In reality this points to a lack of documentation &&|| communication.
If the companies properly and centrally documented where their pipes and cable are and teh construction contractors would refer to that documentation before any excavation, then these kinds of errors would be greatly reduced.

There to easy to crack and anyone determined can find a way around it....
since security wasn't nearly as important to many people and firewalls were pretty rare
Ha this statement still holds true!
Just lie and say you're using that money to come out with some military weapon...

Right, that's a good reason to ban the Windows build of NetHack.
Well you can stil telnet to play a game of nethack at nethack.alt.org or even use java and go here to play a game.

Why would you ever carry a credit card balance month-to-month, though? It's a pretty damn expensive way to borrow money...

Not always my CC rate is 4.9% which is not bad at all....Then again it is a Credit Unnion
