What if I replace the word TOR with the word "internet". Do you see why your post doesn't make sense?
Bit torrent gets throttled because it is a bandwidth hog, not because its often used for copyright infringement. If that was the issue, it would be blocked totally in the places where it is throttled instead.
What exactly is your point? Shit gets abused all the time.
What the hell are you talking about? The campus IT department can tell equally as well who is using TOR. The article doesn't even say what you are claiming was stated.
Indeed it did. However this could have been titled "Political Dissident Tortured", described the water boarding techniques used and the injuries he received but it if does not mention WHO did it, then its a really useless summary.
Why post it at all if the university only gets such an inconsequential mention?
Do you think they have the right to say "Whites Only" or "No visiting Republican Websites"?
Now, that is not to say that the University is not allowed to draft up a reasonable set of rules. Perhaps it could even be argued that the right to anonymous communications and encryption fall under the 1st amendment, but thats not really my point here.
What are you smoking? Tor doesn't suck up lots of resources. Its very bandwidth efficient. Do you even know what Tor is and how it works, or are you just making stupid unfounded statements for dramatic effect?
Uhh, do you know what the definition of a contract is? You are free to break your contract, but you have to pay the consequences of doing so, including any remedy set out in the contract or being sued for breach.
I know they don't. YouTube could just as well say "No" without a reason.
The point is that YouTube is being served with sworn DMCA violation notices from content owners that they are legally obliged to follow.
If you read my post more carefully, you would see that I was talking about how the content producers are being bullies with the DMCA notices knowing that the "little guy" is not likely to file a lawsuit to claim damages under 17 USC 512(f). YouTube is just doing what they are required to do. My warning is a warning to the people generating DMCA letters without regards to content being in violation or not.
I have several videos on YouTube that are short clips ( 15 seconds) edited in such a way to be a parody and satire of the original work. YouTube keeps taking them down because they said they got a DMCA letter from the content producer.
I've read the law and consulted copyright professionals - everything is in my favor for having fair use rights to make these videos. These guys who are sending out DMCA notices are just being bullies because they know they can shut out little guys without much fear of a counter-DMCA lawsuit for making false claims.
I literally had to put a warning on all my videos to tell these people exactly what the LAW states and that I will use my rights under 512(f) to obtain civil remedies against anyone who makes false claims. So far, my material has been up for several months since without being pulled. Coincidence?
I challenge the moderator who did this to reply AC and tell me exactly which comment I duplicated. There is no other comment that addresses the poor quality of Google's customer service in regards to arbitrarily calling an actual bank a "virtual money" bank.
Seriously, basic reading comprehension tests should be given before points are handed out.
I seriously doubt that. If you get emo over not getting your ego boosted after a rejection letter, then you have a personal problem that needs to be addressed.
Silly reasoning. Stuff goes out of print because the publisher chooses to obsolete the material. They can't make money off of new stuff and charge new prices for it if people are constantly buying up the old material.
They wouldn't be able to charge a premium on the older stuff like they do now (as collecter's editions or whatever) if they did not restrict the quantity.
Publishing is a racket. I don't really see a demand for this, either.
Nvidia, 3Com, Intel, Broadcom, Realtek to name a few. Consumer grade parts, too. They all do offloading. The works. Perhaps they are missing something that a good server grade chip has, but probably not much.
Its also hard to believe that, given the load that you'd be putting thru them, that you would even detect a difference. With multi-ghz CPUs out, the benefits of offloading are slim to none and not noticed (except, maybe on server grade equipment that pushes out multi gigabits constantly, off many interfaces)
I don't have the datasheets. Do your own research.
Its been like this for years. The only time I haven't seen offloading is when I bought those cheap NE2000 compatible ethernet cards.
You don't understand, the point is that these crimes are lumped in all as "sex offender" crimes when in reality the crime was hardly a crime at all (20yr old with a 17yr old) or such as a guy who only molests his daughters is somehow considered someone who needs to be branded for life as someone who is a danger to the neighborhood.
When you consider that there are many much worse crimes that do not have registries, it seems a bit illogical to make an equalization to other crimes of conscious decision.
Why was the parent moderated down? It seems to be a trend on Slashdot where petty people with moderation powers moderate down a post they disagree with instead of posting constructive criticism as a reply.
I agree with the parent and I hope that anyone who does not would have the courage to debate the parent instead of trying to censor the opinion.
Two wrongs do not make a right. While the student acted inappropriately, the cops clearly used exceedingly excessive force.
The student should be charged for disorderly conduct, at least, and the police need to be charged with assault, battery, official oppression, manslaughter, and every other charge that is applicable.

Tor keeps you from being detected by the remote end of a connection. Nobody said you can't be detected as a Tor user on the local network itself.

No they don't. Its a public university.

Child molesters shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Call your credit card company and charge back the transaction.
So Google is actually worse than PayPal when it comes to customer service? Not surprising.
"Virtual Money"? WTF is that? Google is obviously depositing REAL money into it, what the hell are they smoking?
I'm glad Anonymous Coward has the balls, too.
Lots of people jealous of successful and intellectually talented people who didn't go through the same maze.
I seriously doubt that. If you get emo over not getting your ego boosted after a rejection letter, then you have a personal problem that needs to be addressed.

What problem? They're based on the most popular tagging submissions. You propose to censor them.
No thanks.

This is pure hysteria.
It isn't a gross oversimplification. Look at some of the correctional statistics and the sentences meted out for various crimes.
You just made all of that up, because its totally wrong.
Really? Whats the URL to a Linux compatible client?
I dunno.. Thats pretty much been the dream of free software activists for many years.
