The ISS has no direct net connection and all data traffic travelling from the ground to the spacecraft is scanned before being transmitted.
Having no network connection and no direct net connection are different things. I suspect it means that the ISS has some form of network connection to NASA's internal network, but does not have any access to the Internet.
The time zone is a user display preference. If the time zone was auto-calculated, the GPS device would have to store all possible time zone options in memory and do do spatial calculations on every position it received when time is being shown.
The job of the GPS is to reports its position and GMT time, along with whatever else is relevant to its task (go0gle NMEA for possible returned strings).
In other news, a printer was found in an empty field. The printer was severely damaged and was broken into many small pieces. No witnesses have come forward to provide clues to the incident.
Would the recorded images of people under 18 be considered child porn? Um... no. Nudity does not always mean porn. Not unless you have something really wrong happening during that scan.
To be honest, I see no evidence that it was MediaSentry that used the IP addresses belonging to MediaSentry. The article had a correction on it at some time. The posted evidence showed previous offenses, not current. This is still a good theoretical argument though.
Allowing the IP address as evidence here is either saying that you want IP addresses to be permissible evidence in general, or you use double standards. I am not implying a double standard. Quick google search for an example bring up a statement very similar to what I am attempting to argue (but probably better phrased).
While there are indeed problems with mapping IPs to people, in this instance there was no doubt as to who occupied the IP in question (namely, the Fosters). There was considerable doubt, however, that it could be convincingly argued that it was in fact Ms. Foster or her daughter who downloaded the material in question. The RIAA backed off of the case, but without specifying why. An IP address points to a network. It can not point to a person. I believe it would have a better chance to be successful against a business than an individual. The IP address is a narrowing evidence, not the end evidence. It can prove that somebody in __ network (yes, vpn is another technical potential argument, but has security locks on it) did something inappropriate. Now, if that inappropriate action is a core property of your business, I think it would require some explaining by the defendant.
I believe there was another case that the RIAA was successful because the person used a username that they use everywhere on the internet in addition to the source being on their network.
And it must never be up to the defendant to prove who used something -- the burden of proof must always fall on the accuser I do not believe it is unreasonable to ask for an explanation if a network owned by a company whose core business is to perform that action is directed where it shouldn't be.
If a building explodes for no apparent reason, but there is a small smoke trail leading from a local missile developer, is it unreasonable to ask for an explanation because they might use a contractor or lease space?
Our network was used by Schyster, Schyster, Iqbal and Schyster, a law firm that is entitled to do investigations in Mass? Response: Please show proof of hiring and activities on ___ days.
And, by the way, thanks for so clearly pointing out that IP addresses are valid identifiers -- now apply the same logic to these 5,000 RIAA cases too please." RIAA: Your network has been used to steal music Home: There are 5 people who live here. Who are you suing? RIAA: _??_
IP addresses are identifiers of a network, not of a person. In a home, a network may be used by multiple inviduals. In a business, a network is used by the business.
I have no idea what constitutes a monopoly in the US or Australia. I am simply commenting that using the statement 'no one is forcing you to use ebay' as a test of being a company that has a monopoly does not seem to classify Microsoft as one.
Microsoft is known as a monopoly in the US. I would guess it may be in Australia judging by a few google search summaries.
The evidence page showed timestamp prior to Jan 2, not after. Looks like the page has posted a correction:
Correction. The motion in London-Sire v. Doe 1 (formerly Arista v. Does 1-21) did not show violation of the cease and desist order, it showed prior violation of the Massachusetts licensing statute. I made an error in reading the printouts. However, I did learn from another source of a violation of the cease and desist order by MediaSentry, but do not at present have documentation of that breach. Sorry for the mistake. -R.B.]

Perhaps you too could show some respect for those who are diverse in their opinions and ideas
Perhaps creationists could provide an opinion to this discovery? If they did, would it be respectful?
I think the summary is incorrect. From TFA:
The ISS has no direct net connection and all data traffic travelling from the ground to the spacecraft is scanned before being transmitted.
Having no network connection and no direct net connection are different things. I suspect it means that the ISS has some form of network connection to NASA's internal network, but does not have any access to the Internet.
Wrong format. In Soviet Russia, Photoshop alters you! I think you're closer to the "In North Korea" format where only old people use photoshop.
Perhaps you should check the CNN news reports?

Perhaps we need a better unit of measure. How about "make ___ photocopies of the library of congress". It somehow seems appropriate.

Good question. I have no idea what is legally considered 'investigation'. Here's where we need some legal interpretation.
My 'guess' is that because the object of investigation is located in Mass., then it would prevent me from investigating it.
If I scan somebody's computer who is in a state that I am not permitted to investigate, am I still allowed?
How about if I was in Massachusetts, but investigating into a state I was permitted to investigate?
What if I do so from another country? Can I go on vacation to Mexico, drink tequila, and gather evidence for the RIAA?
