This extends the police's right to examine a crime scene, only. They have to be looking for someone, for a particular case and anything they find is bound to the rules surrounding that action.
So far So Good.
If you're doing something wrong, and they happen to catch you because they were looking for someone else -- then you shouldn't have been doing whatever it was you were doing.
Wow, So if the cops are chasing a suspected murderer and pull over every blue car on the road, they can arrest every person "doing something Wrong"? O.K. Bad example you say. In my state they can search any damn car they want anyway (we give our permission by driving on the road and using the State Issued Driving License).
How about same scenario but perp entered a subdivision on foot. Can they arrest everyone in the subdivision that is breakng any law? No they need a warrant to gather evidence of a crime, they are not allowed to do what you are suggesting (Search every house for a crime) for very good reasons thought out hundreds of years ago, thankfully by people with more wisdom than you.
What this means is that there are circumstances when ISPs cannot isolate IP addys or individuals, then it's ok to sniff the whole pipe. Why not? Why should the cops have to pussyfoot around BS red tape just to do their jobs?
Umm, Pussyfooting around the red tape is their damn job. It makes their job more difficult, maybe, but it also protects us from abuses of power. (Abuses of Power like this.
There is a great WhitePaper on this subject I believe the relevant portion goes some thing like:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Ha, I cant believe I just called the Constitution a whitepaper, even in jest. Too many years in Engineering.
Why won't neocons strictly interpret......the Constitution? They claim to do that. And if you strictly do that, you realize that the government only has the powers specifically given to it in the Constitution.
They did believe in limited government, until they actually sit within those mighty seats of power. Suddenly limiting your own powers seems a bit hastey, maybe even dangerous. Better to expand it, for the protection of the people of course, or their interests, or their financial well being.
As for the AG, wow. I didn't think he could top the gems he's dropped on us before. Never in amillion years would I have thought I'd miss John Ashcroft.
Attacks on the GPL will continue unabated, and only prostrating yourself at the feet of the mighty RMS and installing Debian will save you from the apocalypse that will come to destroy this unholy union.
Whew, I was worried, but now I see I'm already safe.
We are expanding your options by eliminating your options.
FTFA:
MySQL has today refined its licensing scheme from "GPLv2 or later" to "GPLv2 only", in order to make it an option, not an obligation for the company to move to GPLv3.
Doesn't this specificaly prevent them from using GPLv3 as an option in the future? I mean only means only right.
Now if only I could see a Gmail conversation or thread like view so all my sent emails and incoming emails are in one location. That would be just swell!
This is possibly the worst solution I could imagine to the problem of complex software that is intended for normal users. Can you point to any examples of general-use software (open or closed source) that have successfully implemented a basic/intermediate/advanced toggle switch for its main interface? This idea gets brought up frequently by those with technical experience but who don't design software interfaces for a living (or in their free time, as the case may be). It's an awful idea that only serves to promote the notion that the more complex functionality of the software should be locked away from all but the lords of technology, unavailable to the unwashed masses who are just too unskilled to touch the powerful resources of truly great software.
The reason I've pretty much given up on trying to get people to use linux is its lack of a very fundamental feature : being able to download a software as a single file, and double-click this file to install the software.

If you look at any system / building / software, and wonder "How the hell does it keep from falling to pieces?"; an Architect built it.
This applies to every multiprocessor system I have engineered, just as well as the brooklyn bridge or the Guggenheim.
I've always wanted to use that word in a meaningful way.
Except, he'd be taxed on that 25k too.

Well thought out. Make transitions even more difficult in the community. Brilliant.
