My 20 month-old daughter bluescreened XP after only 2 minutes of un-attended use. And no, it did not involve pouring juice into the box. Only using a standard keyboard and mouse.
Naturally this tactic would be mostly focused on US ISPs. As for the actual technique, I imagine it would go something like this:
NSA: Good morning, we need account information and # Mb transfered for all of you customers who contacted 87.96.134.19 from date XX-XXX-XX to date YY-YYY-YY persuant to an anti-terrror investigation. Note: we do not need, nor are we interested in what information was exchanged, just the account information and how much data. After all, we do not want to monitor these private conversations. Have a nice day.
ISP: Ummm... Okay, I guess...
Next day: *NSA adds top 25% by transfer volume to no-fly list*
Don't think it would happen? This is exactly what they did to the telecom companies. But rather than ask for calls to a specific number, they asked for EVERY international call.
Part of the problem is that there's no group to play with in Oblivion
This is a bonus in my book. I hate group based CRPGs. The comptuer AI is never smart enough and I loose the imersion feel when I am managing a group rather than managing a single character.
I'm talking about reading it from the other direction. Blanket wiretap the ISP for anyone using the anonymizer. Add all these people to the list. Obviously, if they are using an anonymizer, they must be up to something.
This is what happens when there is no oversight.
You may want to send email to your friends in the near east (I've got several friends in the UaE and Saudi-arabia) without ending up on the "no-fly" list.
Nah, they will just put everyone who uses the service on the "no-fly" list. It's a whole lot easier to justify blanket suspision with all the illegal wiretaps, financial record tracking, and whatnot they have already justified. Innocent until proven guilty? How about suspect until proven innocent. (and maybe even not then)
Dude. My 19 month old daughter is already shoe obsessed. I get home. She insists her shoes be taken off, toddles over to the closet, picks a different pair of shoes, and insits that those be put on. She will go through the whole closet, if you have the patience. Dolly has shoes. Teddy has shoes. Shoes Shoes SHOES.
That is because PDEs are not math, rather they are purified and condensed evil. So, you get to skip the register and move straight to management (not being able to add here is a definite plus).
...the current secular leadership (regardless whether elected or birthed) does not enforce membership in a particular theologic organization...
Not true. Many in the Republican leadership (with limited support from the Democrats) are attempting to enforce a de-facto membership by passing morality legistation under the precept that this is "a christian country, founded on christian values".
Ironic, really when you consider how many of these revered founding fathers were as close to atheism as their contemporary society allowed.

Paradise awaits.

Because there is more leg room, you short bastard. (for the record, I HATE that they are doing this. It just seems petty)
And it differs from myspace, how?

Alright. Who the hell gave Anonymous Coward mod points?
Prefontal lobotomy, shock treatment, heavy medication. The usual.
Of course it runs netBSD.
Do you think that's air you're breathing?
...I read about it in the Invisible Book of Invisibility.
I am so fucking screwed.

It varies between 100% and 75% depending on how far open his mouth is.
Well, consider that their standard response was: "You are too stupid to understand. Of course it is perfectly legal. Shut up and give us your money."
One, the power has been out for a week.
Two, who the hell puts a datacenter in Queens?
It is an observable FACT.
How could the contents of a private web forum possibly be germain to a job interview?
Just warm the wax and it will squish right in.
How, exactly, would not paying for education improve public schools? Is this some new form of voodoo economics I am unfamiliar with?

Wow, you really drove that metaphor into the ground.
