Can we now have a serious discussion about the privacy invasion and unauthorized search and seizure of my IP packets without a warrant by the RIAA? Who do these guys think they are the NSA?! I am sick and tired of the RIAA doing unauthorized search and seizures of my IP packets on private peer-to-peer networks. Who authorized them to run monitoring software on a privately owned peer-to-peer network?
According to written U.S. law all evidence obtained through an illegal search and seizure is in admissible in a court of law, which would make all evidence in the past trials null and void. In theory this should allow all rulings to be over turned all evidence uncovered without a valid warrant should never be allowed to see the light of a court room again. Also, both Napster and Gneutella can sue the RIAA for the invasion of privacy, hacking, intercepting communications, & trespassing on virtual private property.
I would also think that if the cable was severed that the length falling back to earth would act like a razor whip. Could you imagine the damage that it would due to the earth base station. It would probably cut the earth base station in half upon impact just like a hot knife through butter. Well there goes our 2 trillion dollar 50Km high earth base station, listed below are the repair objectives:
1.) GEO counter-weight retrieval
2.) Restringing of the teathers
3.) Rebuilding of the earth base station.
FUN, WHERE DO I SIGN UP TO BID ON THIS CONTRACT!!!!!!!!!!
Well that is because you are an idiot and do not realize that the different Sony divisions are actually seperate legal entities with merely a similar legal name. One Sony company does not effect the other in any way except to generate negative press. The Sony entity that creates your PlayStation2 has nothing to do with the "Jack Ass VP" in this article who is commenting about Napster. So you will be boycotting the Sony name in general for the ludicrous actions of one entity.
But if you want to cancel your Playstation2 order then fine... go ahead! That just means I will get mine sooner becuase of stupid shits like you. So I say HAHA, Fool!!!!!
[Note to ISPs:]
Block the device at your router's access list. Don't let data originating from this device transimit data off your network. Also don't allow the device to receive any data that did not originate from your network. This will require the FBI to submit a formal request to receive this data and not allow them to access it at will.
[Small Rant:]
Also do you think disgrunteled ISPs will publish the device's IP address so that script kiddies can DoS/DDoS it 24/7 365 day a year? My God that is the most justified use I think I have ever heard of for a DoS/DDoS attack? I can see it now, web pages being defaced all over the world with "WE DoS FOR YOUR PRIVACY!" My God, this shit just gets better and better the more I think about it.
"Actually... The NSA can't monitor American Citizens, so there would be serious problems with the FBI saying that the NSA built it for the purpose of domestic surveillance."
That would only be if the FBI and NSA did not have Congressional aproval for the two to work together. Who said that congress did not give them permission to cooperate in development of the CARNIVORE device and then bury the order under the guise of national security. This shit happens more often than you might think.
Personally, I think everyone should just stop bitching about this and learn to encrypt your e-mail. PGP & GPG works for me, if they can't read the message then they can't sniff for key words. Also they could not stop a message just because it is encrypted is the same type of bull shit as a police officer pulling over someone just because he/she is black. That shit will be thrown out of court because they invaded your privacy without probable cause. Well guess they could say that the packet had a header light out and that is why they pulled it over. Or even better, the packet in question was bouncing from router to router with such great speed and inconsistency we thought it might be intoxicated. My main argument is that an encrypted message is synonymous with evil in same way that an Ethnic Minority is synonymous with drug dealer.
This whole case is just going to push more people to encrypt their data and personally for that reason I say, BRING IT ON! Anything that makes people take a look at the increasing need for the protection of their data is great with me. I personally think the FBI is shooting themselves in the foot with CARNIVORE.
Right now we have script kiddies who are very limited in their abilities. The limits of their abilities are that of the tools in which they use. If you stop flow of or take away the tools the Script Kiddies use, then they will actually have to learn how TCP/IP works and how to right a superior line of code. An army of intelligently informed script kiddies will make them more dangerous than any of the mindless drones we face today. Personnally, I would rather fight a limited piece of code "the security tool" rather than an intellectually informed person that is capable learning fom his mistakes and forming helpful conclusions from the data he gathered when he failed on his last attack.
Weigh your options from both sides carefully there are strong arguments to ban these tools and for keeping them free flowing. Make up your own mind and form your own conclusions, don't just repeat the retoric of past posts on topcs such as these.
Currrently I have a 58GB oracle database running on a Sun SPARC E3500. The drives sit in an external Sun A1000 storage unit and they are configured in a mirrored RAID 5 array. Our volume is currently capable of holding up to around 85GB.
During peek performance of 425 concurrent users all slamming the system at once I am only using about 35% of the system's resources. This server has been up since birth with no down time for 8 months now. A properly configured Unix server is more than capable of handling your data size and work load for SQL databases.
This is great and all as a break through in the ongoing minturization of Computer hardware. But of what real use is a 1GB matchbox except to store *.MP3's. This is just an add-on component for your portable *.MP3 players.
This is nothing more than a new removable media format in my eyes.
I'll tell you what. I am going to forget I saw this article so I can really be amazed when here they made something useful like a 10GB drive the size of a matchbox. Now this is something I can actually use.
I guess it is no longer illeagal to hack someones e-mail server to get the dirt you need on them. WRONG!!! Sorry fellas but that evidence was obtained under false pretenses and is not admissable in court. OOPS!!!!!!!!! Thank you for playing... better luck next time!
Hey they are bitching about not having any influence and this would take care of that problem. I did not ever say they would get anything accomplished I just said that this provides equal representation.
This whole situation is easier to resolve than one might think. All this requires is one person from every Top Level Domain Name Registry from each country to come together. Then one person, it doesn't matter who nor their nationality needs to temporarily take over the group and initiate a vote to determine the officers of this new organization. If there is only one representative from each country then no one has to worry about another country stacking the deck with all of the leadership coming from a single place. Hell you can even hold this thing a neutral place like Geneva. That is it... mission accomplished equal representation and everyone is accounted for with no one being left out.
Some other countries might not like this democratic idea, but hell this shit does work. Some one needs to grow some balls and step up to the plate and take some responsibility. The internet is not the same child we once nurtured from the UNIX servers in Universities of the world. It is now a full grown and very mature entity and needs to be properly and responsibly managed.
Don't worry most of the people here are genius' and they obsess over detail. The fact that they are so intelligent makes them extremely excentric and excentric people are not happy unless they are chalenging the status quo. Which makes it kind of funny that they can all agree on the fact that they even like a same OS as often as they do. But they will be damned if they admit they all like it for the same reason.
"Okay intentially mispelled those words and if you find the need to comment on them then you are one of the people I am refering to in the passage above."
What Sony should have done was redesigned their Mavica to use a 120MB Super disk instead 1.4MB flopy disk. Now that would be a nice product enhancement. 85.71 Minutes of.MOV on a Super disk would be kick ass as apposed to the current 60 seconds on a flopy disk.
This product cries out redesign me, redesign me, redesign me! They could even call it the Super Mavica. Sony, I promise I will not sue you for the use of this name. Just build the damn product!
"Lars: Yeah, I mean I think we answered that before. Of course we have, ok? And of course it's a valid point. The bottom line is the size of it. The size of it and the quality of it. When we go in, and check Napster out, we come up with 1.4 million copyright infringements in 48 hours, this is a different thing than trading cassette tapes with your buddy at school. I mean, 48 hours! So it's the quality, the quality and the scale.
Jesus, I like Lars and the band but he reminds me of Hitler saying, "kill a thousand people and they call you a murder, kill a million and they call you a conqeuror."
I mean damn where do you draw the line on right and wrong. The law reads the same way the print appears in the books and that is black and white. Either you are following the law or you are breaking the law, there is no middle ground or gray. The gray we speak of is a figment of our imagination that we have created in order to allow our self to cope with breaking the law. I mean I am not going to say I have not skated theat imaginary gray line but come on, right and wrong is clearly defined in that black and white text. I don't believe he has any right to say that it is wrong for us to do exactly what he has done in the past. It really sounds almost as he is advocating for us to find a new meida type, "if you can find a way to compress a physical LP into a digital data file then its okay, but this MP3 shit is bad news." Sorry Lars but until we gain Star Trek replcator technology we can't really accomidate.
I am sorry but people are offen scared of that in which they do not fully understand and this seems to be Metalica's issue.

Linux Failover?

Dell has actually written drivers that will handle this while running the Red Hat Linux distributiuon of the OS. If you go to their driver support page you might be able to find something that will be modifiable for current solution.
Unless your company actually has the man power, knowledge, or resources to develop this solution on your own I would say your IS Manager made a huge mistake. He should have evaluated the situation and if he did not have the resources needed then he should have bought a preconfigured Linux solution such as provided by Dell, Penguin Computing, or anyone else who has the proper resorces to complete a task like this magnitude.
"(From their Irish website.) Mind you, this highlights the fact that this isn't another silly trade war thing. Intel are a global company, and a boycott would hurt European commerce as well. K."
Ireland is part of Britain which refused invitation into the EU, remember? It will hurt US and British economies but not EU.
The reason companies claim success no matter what the OS is due to the competancy of their networking and systems staff. If your Network is being run by a bunch of MSCE boot camp trainees then you will probably not have much success with what ever route you go.
Your role out of an OS needs to come from an experienced individual. The last thing you want is to turn your lively hood over to a bunch of glorified end users.
Don't bicker over the OS it doesn't matter that much. Run what suits your companies needs, only run it with pride and exoerience. Do not run it like you are blindly stumbling around in the dark.
Since I have begun my Linux qwest I have developed a respect for Windows driver support. We all know that driver support is important but I mean damn!!! I really never gave much fore thought to video drivers and sound drivers except when it came time to pop in that disk that came with the card or when W9x would prompt you for the drivers.
Personally I like Linux, I like it alot but it is no piece of cake to install for a novice. Honestly, how many of you ran the Xconfigurator 10 to 15 times on your first Linux distro install, trying to tweak the vid display just right so that you could even get into X-Windows. ME, ME, ME, ME, ME, ME!!!!!!!
Unfortuanately Linux isn't ready for every PC on the market. So, tailor your PC to meet Linux hardware specs then jump in and start configuring it. If you are a recovering W9x user remember don't get fustrated. Just remember how it was when you first began to learn the Microsoft OS.

Yes but when was the last time the White house was called in to moderate an Anti Trust settlement. Throw out a an anit-trust suit yes, moderate a settlement, no. Although you are right about the White House stepping in to solve some economic matters I still see this as a politcal opertunity and not a purely selfless act of leadership.
I think there is just too much water under the bridge between alot of people and the current administration. Any time they do something good someone is going to question there motives due to the lack trust surrounding their persona.
You know that anything involving the computer industry would bring attention from the White House. They are loosing an up hill campaign against the republicans for the next presidential election. Gore wants to be responsible for meadiating this arrangement so he can get votes from the computer industry.

I will replace all of our cisco devices with that of another corporation. I love Cisco's product but I will not allow them to compromise the network security of my company. No matter how good their intentions are.
If my company wanted the government snooping around our network we would have issued them a username and password.
