Corporate America: zip code and address please Avg Joe American: for what ? Corporate America: just for our database, so we can serve you better *wink* Avg Joe American: how do i know you'd never use this for 'no good' Corporate America: that's silly, we'd never do that. why would we want to do harm to our customer base ?

This is why the government will continue to lose the war on all sorts of shit. War on drugs, war on terror, war on hackers, etc. Because they have this asinine misunderstanding of the issue(s). DNA sample for a computer hacker ? How about you get his MAC address first, that'd be a smashing place to start. I highly doubt his DNA will do them a bit of good. Killers, rapist, etc. Sure, get their DNA. Computer hacker ? ComeTheFuckOn.
Ya Suse , RH , Mandrake (whatever) all try to make money as well but it's always struck me that Linspire's (whatever) primary goal from the word go was "money" where as RH, Suse , etc wanted to make a distro and needed to make money to support that idea. That may not be the case at all but that's what it seems like. Short story : I dont like Linspire cause it seems their heart isn't in it, just their wallet.
As usual most/.ers can't get over whatever hate they have for Gates to talk about the article.
It raises a good point, why is it Jobs gets this heavenly halo while we have no evidence that he gives two flips about anything else but money. And of course Dr. Evil on the other hand is giving away LOTS AND LOTS of money but he's Dr. Evil so either a)it's for no good b)he's up to no good.
In the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, the FBI has stumbled on the largest espionage ring ever discovered inside the United States. The U.S. Justice Department is now holding nearly 100 Israeli citizens with direct ties to foreign military, criminal and intelligence services.
The spy ring reportedly includes employees of two Israeli-owned companies that currently perform almost all the official wiretaps for U.S. local, state and federal law enforcement.
The U.S. law enforcement wiretaps, authorized by the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), appear to have been breached by organized crime units working inside Israel and the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad.
Both Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller were warned on Oct. 18 in a hand-delivered letter from local, state and federal law enforcement officials. The warning stated, "Law enforcement's current electronic surveillance capabilities are less effective today than they were at the time CALEA was enacted."
Since DUBYA has been doing his thing the ability to protest, especially when he is in town has been hampered (read : illegally revoked)
Note : This google search is meant to put you on your way, it may or may not highlight specific instances I am referring to however there is no shortage of illegal arrest of peaceful protestors in the United States.
Maybe a good place to start would be how in one case, an entire block of people was arrested during the RNC in NY.

I'm not sure if you know this but the 4th Amd. doesn't exist anymore.

Shoot the messenger, everything in your perfect country is fine.
Go back to sleep, or work, or to taking your meds.
