roman-based law ( most EU states excluding UK ) has a fundamental principal
if you sold it, you can not deny anything if it gets changed by the buyer.
So MS better watch out if you disconnected EU Xbox users.
you might end up getting another case with the EU.
For an EU Xbox user to be disconnected from services MS has to proof that changes made to the Xbox result in illegal use - eg. actually using pirated games. The ability alone is not enough!
a French Diplomat had a slip of tongue: we can switch off our Exocet missiles!
a NATO airbase commander in Chief confirmed: pilots not following orders will be switched off from airplane control and flown home by RC ( eject seat disabled )
the UK requested the source code of the joint tactical fighter and threatened not to buy it!
.
I can imagine ( but no proof ) that the US asks network device producers to include a little Trojan Boot Loader (TBL)!
In a router or a switch this TBL listens to traffic for a initializing command hidden in a packet - most likely coming from a web-search engine.
it can be specifically targeted by its serial number.
So if there is something going on in Tuizerland;-) get the serial number of their routers and send to the TBL commands to load spyware from packets hidden in unsuspicious answers coming from Google/Yahoo/MSN etc...

If I want to know what company XYZ has in its drawers: what is the serial number of their switches?
The data wanted is added to the search query to one of the Web-services !
recommendation: if you have anything which might be interesting - have your network devices software compiled by yourself or trustworthy AND verifyable sources.
To the military: do your software yourself or your vendor may switch your weapon off!

the founder of your very United States of America, George Washington, sent a letter to the government of my country pleading o recognize his newly created state formed by illegal action against the legally ruling government (The British Crown).
As the winners of WWII, this document was given to the US by my government.

did any slashdotter ever see such a document in his lectures of US history?

there are rules in business contracts which are simply void.
So is the exclusion of the right to modify anything which was sold!
: not in the UK but in all other EU countries!

please give a price to the man or people who designed a plug so simple and effective!
and it all goes back to Konrad Zuse, who's patents were taken over by IBM.

two screens making up two pages like a book - allow me to read as I am used to.
two screens allowing one for reference data, the other for the input to an application -
- or in the case of lecture - one page for the teacher, one for the student
one of the sreens duplicating as touch sensitive keyboard allow me to enter my text
and 1.6 Mio books available plus the Gutenberg Project allow me to read ( as lot )
I would have preferred a lower-power-guzzling CPU
and as an option solar cell case to allow me to read my SF stories on the beach without dying batteries!

And I am not sure if they are interested in having tapped calls deleted
I mean really deleted!
it is too late anyhow - even if at tier 1 they would be willing to do identification checks,
most traffic is already routed at tier 2 and below!
I trust that people needing connectivity will even use the moon as their relay.
These investments were mainly the build-up of a network covering a fair share of the important places of the world
Nowadays the network ist THE INTERNET and is available to everybody at low cost. So the entry barrier does not exist any more.
If Murdoch or somebody else succeeds in building a legal entry barrier to continue their dominance is yet to be seen!
Why not publish news on the Internet with a "TOP SECRET" sign - and " You are not allowed to share this information with anybody"
or - "Destroy yourself after reading this information!"
of the director of FBI
who did not call his experts to counter this phishing attack!
and who failed to expect such a thing happeninhg to hijm too!!
see the next article - the director is not up to his job!

compare whats a reality today - and find comments form that time.
then take 1984 and Brave New World
and check which elements are in existence today!
you can frighten hell out of kids and parents alike without obscenity!
Of course after the web-site of the organisation was attacked.
And he then joined the ranks of NATO headquarters in Brussels
as a security expert.
level enough?
of course a US citizen
I fully agree
I have been to the US several times since 1980.
Alas I wanted to do some sightseeing when time and money allows, as many of the fellow posters here.
But until these rigorous Orwellian schemes are dismissed - it is a strict vote with the feet: aint going there again.
So it is less a slap for Obama, but a slap in the face for Homeland Security!
"Conquest is not in our principles. It is inconsistent with our government." -- Thomas Jefferson
compare the size of the US territory at the Presidency of Jefferson with it now - please include those puppet states like the Phillipines etc...
If Arnold Schwarzenegger would be from the Habsburg family, could he rightfully claim California as his property?

I think 1984 was meant to be 2000 plus 16 instead of - 16!
in 2016 we will have Orwells Prediction:
newspeak is here
doublespeak is here
irregular behaviour detection by cameras is here (slashdot article)
ubiquitous surveillance cams are here
cams in laptops and mobilephones are here
and corrupt governement is also here

did any slashdotter ever see such a document in his lectures of US history?
as the US likes to consider themselves as the new Rome, maybe they have a look at the old Roman Law System!
The legislator formulates the law and writes also into the preamble what he intends with this law.,
Then it is mandatory for the judge to rule in favor of the intention of the law!

Did any slashdotter before me critizise the anglo-american law system? -
if not - it is hight time!
for a successful science (technology), reality must take precedence over public relations
BTW this staement was inlcuded under presure into the amendments of the Challenger discaster report!
the top 10% of US get enough education to be able to look beyond the information fog created by the US media,
who seek to blind the majority of the US into believing what they consider good for their aims right now!
if youi can, compare the number of war movies on TV just before the US went into one!
the powers controlling the US do not want an educated population, because that would endanger their wellbeing!
and so they do not want their population learn how to come to objectibe ( proofable ) conclusions - which would be the scientifi way!
good night, US
Ooops
wrong target - sorry Beijing, we did not mean to blast your Embassy
Ooops
this schoolbus looked like a rocket launcher - really Sir
if the guy knows as much of rockets as he knows of computers:
Good night America - Hello Houston, we have....
If you are worried that the weight of the concrete might compress the pipe fill it with water and close both ends. Water does not compress.
the tubing used for floor heating is the right one.
If you sell the house you can praise it as a value added as you can keep the house cool.
and you can connect your PC liquid cooling system to the heat exchanger/cooler/heater element.
I do not know in what climate zone you live, but you can even get some heating out of this.
go and do it!
I would like to see the guarantees SCO's lawyers have for getting paid!
what is the chemical reaction? 3H2O + 2Al = Al2O3 + 6H ??
but it seems they are being colonialized again by the media megacorporations.
