    The fact that we're seeing subdomains for IP6 seems to indicate "the transition" ain't going so well.

    If you're "highly sympathetic and indebted to him" for doing something good and right, the logical conclusion would be for you to support the law being changed, not support him being in prison. Governments abuse the classification of information to bury information that would harm their personal interests as opposed to necessarily protect all of us. That is the crime here.

    Without looking at the code, I speculated that if the server thought it was IE8 and served up the silverlight content, moonlight might be able to display it. The problem isn't that I don't have a plugin that can handle the content (to my knowledge, moonlight should display it just fine), the problem is that the dumb website won't even give me the content, because it thinks I can't display it.

    what is wrong ... with installing Moonlight

    I have moonlight installed. Here's what happened:

    Sorry, but Silverlight is not supported on this operating system.

    Silverlight works on Windows and on Mac OS (Intel only).

    Fail.

    I tried spoofing the user-agent to MSIE 8:

    Install the latest version of Silverlight to see this content.

    Fail.

    Props to the photography, but somebody needs to tell them 1990 called, and wants its browser sniffing rubbish back. I would only be mildly bothered that they used silverlight, but they didn't even do it properly.

    Yeah, and whoever modded me redundant also caught you in the crossfire. I'm starting to think there should be a simple exam before you can mod. If, say, two comments are posted within a minute or so of each other and you mod them redundant, then you fail and never get to mod.

    If I was a parent I wouldn't want to interfere with my 16-17 year old teen sex life

    I sure as hell would. I'd want to make sure they knew what they were getting into, had had the safer sex 101 talk, and knew they could always talk to me if there was a problem or they needed help.

    Maybe that's interfering, but if you think so, I'd postulate that you're not going to make a very responsible parent.

    If the nuclear power facility or competitor's fabrication plant doesn't want you taking photos, but still allows you to bring your phone (or even just camera) in in the first place, they have already lost because the photos will be uploaded and in the cloud before you even get back to the gate. Searching you on the way out is useless. That's my point - with pretty much every device online now, we're long past the era of smuggling microfilm.

    Does anyone really "smuggle" data on physical media any more? You could just gpg encrypt your copy of leaked_top_secret_data.doc using a strong key, put it on a server of your choosing, and retrieve it when you get to where you are going. Just possibly, if you were trying to get data *out* of a very locked down (no electronic devices or memory cards allowed) environment, hiding a memory card might be a necessary part of your plan, but borders and airports? It's just unnecessary. Even in the locked-down corporate / government scenario, if all you can smuggle in/out is the micro-SD card, do you really think they are going to have a card-reader plugged in ready for you to use?
