Actually, he is technical enough, or was briefed by his tech-team enough, to mention that IP addresses arn't the only things used, and are only associated with the time stamp of when they were used, and they subpoena the ISP for the info of that IP address at the time it was used.
So, he has a "unique serial number" that always identifies a computer. But won't tell anyone how he got it. I'm guessing that they're assuming a MAC address is unique, even though it can be spoofed.
In any case, all the more reason to use the TOR network.
Actually, you do need a visa to visit Canada, either already or in the near future. Though not to leave the country to Europe, if I recall correctly.
And yes, my name is meant to be a bit sarcastic, because well, I'm a sarcastic guy. Referencing the fact that many people are slow to agree to ideas that go against ideas they already hold, even when given evidence, and that fact that I love to provide that evidence whenever possible.
Oddly, they're saying a language which is slower for people to write, and considerably more obscure than most languages, is the reason something is done under-budget and quickly? It seems like those traits would make it more secure, but take much longer to make...
No one implied a 'denial of freedom of information' except for you.
How this will impact public information resources such as the Library of Congress, National Library of Medicine or even the US Congress remains to be seen.
Hey, read the summary sometime. Thanks.
Well, from a network-security point of view, having fewer links to the web at large is actually a good thing, and things like this SHOULD be secured.
Implying that simply because the departments arn't completely open to the internet in a thousand ways is a denial of freedom of information, is a huge leap.
Granted, nobody trusts bush, and they shouldn't, as this is likely what he plans to do, but this part in particular is a good idea.
You're not in CS are you? A lot of places "already" say basically either: have 10 years experience, a masters/doctorate, or find your way out of the building.
You don't seem to understand. A college education doesn't "mean" much anymore. It just means that your employable and focused, not that you're particularly intelligent or well read.
Only "stupid" and "bad at spamming" spammers actually show their faces. PharmaMaster and other nameless, faceless net spammers tend to be so good that finding their real identity is hard.
Really, do you want to be known as the guy who harassed the spammer equivalent of the short-bus kid? Or do you want to go act out against the people generating 10-20% of all spam on the net?
Charities need a lot of documentation to function (I'm on the board of a rather large one).
Corporate purchases are watched pretty carefully, especially offshore stuff. They're actually really easy to track weird spending habits. How often do companies spring up out of nowhere, and suddenly start having hundred thousand dollar offshore contracts every few months (or a hundred thousand spread out over a year, still suspicious).
Its not as hard as you think. If you can get the money off-shore (such as an offshore account in the pacific), and then throw it to a numbered account in a swiss bank, its basically done.
The hard part is getting it out of the country of origin, without it being linked to you as having "left" from you.
Ever hear of "blue security"? They made a program which, when you got spam email, went to the website and filled out their application with tons of "remove me" messages and junk, making their data files unuseable.
The spammers fought back so hard, they knocked the nation of Israel off the internet (where their offices/server was), for a few days.
Why would it need new motherboards? Its just the internal method of data storage and retrieval. Its entirely possible that early versions of this drive could use SATA connections and just be cheaper and faster than current drives (rather than extraordinarily faster, if it needs a different kind of motherboard connection).
Well yes, war in the conventional sense doesn't really happen anymore. But I was just saying that the idea that we should give up violence in all of our media and go run off to be peaceloving beatnicks isn't terribly intelligent.
Even at throttled-down speeds, they're still cheaper and faster than the competitors in my area. I'm switching the moment FIOS comes in, but its not quite here yet.

I would, if the new crackdown on our borders didn't make it incredibly difficult to get a visa to move out of the country.
Anyone notice that I have 16 replies, and haven't been moderated either way. Is my comment really "that" neutral?

Its Shell sponsoring it, of course non-gasoline vehicles weren't eligible for the grand prize...
Damn corporate scams for cheap publicity and easy recruitment.

Opt out really is just a "stupid tax". If you're stupid, and don't opt out, then you get screwed.
You're on slashdot, surely you support a "stupid tax"!

The lesson? Spamming is big business.

The great slashdot editors apparently thought that Microsoft deserved an entire sentence all to itself.
I always knew minnie mouse had red lipstick for a reason.
Its just a PR stunt. Stop pandering to the tax-loophole-exploiting jerk.

If one person forgets how to build the weapons of war, it doesn't mean that their enemies will do so as well.
While high morals are good, they need to be tempered with realism.
