My little sister was almost kidnapped by a guy offering her candy. My little sister knew not to talk to strangers. Too bad he was gone before my dad got the rifle.
But look I can still get lollipops any day of the week.
Just because you have a "noble" cause doesn't make you a saint or in anyway correct.
If you want legislation to protect children then you people need to swallow your pride, fear, and anger and treat everyone fairly.
You have not done so.
Nobody owes you peace of mind. You are not entitled to it anymore than anyone else in this world. You have a responsibility to resist the temptation to use every sledgehammer approach you can think of to get what you want.
Extreme statements like, "Do everything possible to _____" might make great news media drama for morons who still get their news from television, but all it really does is make you look stupid, hostile, irresponsible to make even Ulysses S. Grant blush, and downright hatefully dangerous.
"I wouldn't be surprised if the US decided in the next 100 years to divide the moon up among the nations, giving itself the largest chunk & putting a McDonalds and a Disneyland on it."
You just said the hostile client closed the connection.
Also, it can be improved thusly: 1. Allow no more than Y querries total from the whole net. 2. At the time that it happens, find the average querries per host based on a minimum unit of difference between each host in descending order of querries. This is to prevent those who try to buddy up in overquerrying from raising the average.
3. Ignore those below the average. 4. Add up the totals of all those above the average. 5. Using that same difference unit, get group totals to find the most common ones (buddies or accident they cause trouble either way).
6. Reorder them according to those group totals in descending order. This way the ones most likely to respawn are blocked. We're not the morality police here, just the fairness police. If some harrassment is happening that isn't killing the network, it isn't worth taking away from feature development. Argue it in the discussions not in the code if it's a "small claims" case. We can add features to make sure the abuse isn't killing users' individual connections.
7. Find the average of these.
8. Ban the top 2/3s over the second average for an hour 9. Disconnect the bottom 1/3 over the second average (it'd be great if we could just suspend and any client that refused to suspend would be banned for days).
I was about to argue because I do believe this man is misguided about something gravely important and IT IS WISE MAN's BURDEN TO CORRECT HIM, however I could not parse this.
I'm not creating a novel. Why would I back it up on a DVD? How often is there more than one artist writing a novel who would even admit not being the sole author?
If you are concerned about network standing up under the stress, then you can see this is a self-destructive tactic. Keeping it secret means that only a few people can benefit from development. The purpose of a client is to provide a good user interface. The purpose of the technology is to provide good service. In the end you end up with bastardized clients that meet neither goal very well.
If it were open from the beginning, then the day Mike's Protocol chokes on its own enthusiasm, people can fix it or they could throw all that development down the drain to go back to an open fixable system.
Reality has limits. It's not wise to rush to crash into them but to know how to manage them.

Oh and privacy isn't just about secrecy, it's about private spaceand private property. Private property means control over that property.
I think every address should have a public phone to which certain callers are restricted to only leaving messages. Kind of like how you can yell from across the street at me all you like, bu the minute you get on my property I cantell you to go away in which case refusal to do might cause your yell-from-across-the-street privileges to be legally revoked as well.
Dinner time is highly private property. Weekends and afternoons are highly private property. Ho
Um that's man hours so in fact you have to divide by the amount of persons involved in the work to find the amount of time it would take the company to complete the project.
The loss in profits increases with that value not with the man hours value.
So a company that wants to be resilient in the event of an attack should hire more people. They may lose money in the development of the project, but the amount damage in the attack is going to be the same man hours whether they have one hundred or ten thousand employees.
The more people they have to fix the attack, the shorter the delay to release the product and the less chance the customer will buy a competing product if they would not already.
'Course all the above is a hideous generalization. You Mileage Will Vary.
What's the point of having any legal system if the punishment is death? Every crime involves smaller crimes and trying to stay clean in a crime ridden situation is going to guarantee people will commit some intermediate get-the-hell-out-of-here crimes.
So let's just shoot everybody because under such conditions even an innocent person who doesn't want to die will commit crimes.
Deterrents are a myth. They just make other crimes easier to do. If everything is deadly soon enough people value life no more than the law does and with a couple drinks and ccs of who-knows-what people are happy to risk it all because that's all there is to risk. This hicksville kill 'em all crap isn't tougher on crime. It's just plain stupid.
I'm sure releasing that information would have caused much more harm. Why I believe if we stop telling our children not to take candy from strangers we would put an end to the candy baiting algorithm once for all.
>The FreeBSD core team has informed the development community in detail about the reasons for Matt's removal. We don't think it's appropriate, nor fair to Matt, to wash dirty linen in public.
Um, then what the hell was the point of this whole article?
Oh and I see the FreeBSD team has their hands tied behind their backs. Freedom counts folks...
I like to argue the question of skipping the dodgy parts of a movie and the effect it has on the message being delivered.
I like to argue that on a person to person, point by point basis. This whole censorship red herring is detracting from some very useful discussion.
Perhaps when we will continue to see violence in our world after the most of it has been wiped out from our entertainment (and that goes for sex, and profanity as well) then maybe the knee-jerkers will have to accept the more difficult and uncomfortable truth about the nature, causes, and remedies of these things and even worse they would have to admit that their fear and weak will by which they run from these things is causing real harm (unrealistic expectations, infinite guilt for anger and other drives that we humans have, prejudice and hatred where an ounce of understanding would do wonders).
I agree some of this stuff is horrible. Go ahead avoid it if you understand it or if you feel strongly about it and hey even if you don't understand it at least have an open mind and be respectful that others will or will not want to see it.
According to the Audio Home Recording Act, as long as the audio recordings are not for commercial purposes, there are no legal probs.
Here's a cool demo explaining it all - needs flash and sound... even has Robin Gross -EFF and mentions OGG is not a crime with an unauthorized cameo by Emmett Plant.

It was always in the name of security.
So then...
You can prevent abuse!

Oh well.
Yeah but! The red lasers have less errors! And, and, they're bigger ones too so that also balances out in the end! Too, that is!
See!
er..
Wait a minute...
Actually he's making a false argument which is rather amusing.
What marketting tactic?

Networks are much the same.
not perfectly, but yes you can protect the network. Crimes happen but we still hire more cops on the street.

It always bugs me how I find job ads for "Query designer for MS Access".
The ease-of-use factor is preached to the suits and not the to short-changed developers.
This is why human resources skips over anyone who mentions something they don't understand like PHP or MySQL or Unix.
Um that's man hours so in fact you have to divide by the amount of persons involved in the work to find the amount of time it would take the company to complete the project.
