Just the other day without realizing it, I crashed my friends PC coz I did a "Flood with Requests" on MSN, Just to see what it did. He later told me there was soo many his PC could keep up and died. I just clicked 2 buttons! Dangerous stuff Chilling_Silence	Chilling_Silence (9)

Whats coming is inevitable given the reality of corporate political power based on vast wealth and monopoly. Stupid thing is there are a million ways around everything they try to do to fight it and its not that hard to learn what you need. Sure we will be back in the days of the BBS and commandline driven downloads but it will not stop. The cats outta the bag guys and its not going back in. I don't know what the answer is but the way you want to do it is wrong. It will inevitably lead to that greatest of evils, censorship.	John Grieve (367)
82640	2002-09-27 02:29:00	What I want to know is how the US is going to hack into my computer looking for stuff. I have a dialup account, and therefore a dynamic IP. I run a firewall that alerts me to everything that wants access to my PC. If I say no it blocks it. It simply is a futile last ditch attempt by the US at looking intelligent. BTW the Governer (Senator) that wants the law pushed through just so happens to have a major funding boost from a major record label... The US (Bush) are just getting themselves deeper in the sh!t.

82642	2002-09-27 02:38:00	I would expect initially they will just target every PC hooked up to any P2P network. The very fact they share files makes them guilty so its easy to force it into that medium without problem. Once of course everybody finds a way to avoid this they will have carte blanche to hack every PC on the planet as they know its out there and they have a right to find and destroy it under law anyway they please.

82643	2002-09-27 02:48:00	Which comes back to : as long as people figure out a way to do it, others will figure out a way to stop it... it's never ending battle that the Govt will lose.	SoniKalien (792)
82644	2002-09-27 04:20:00	Except that although not the majority, some people use P2P programs legitimately. I have worked for a company that sent and received large files between ffices using P2P apps. Secondly, they are going to have a hard time getting through even the most basic firewalls on dialup due to the changinf IP address. G P	Graham Petrie (449)
82645	2002-09-27 04:42:00	Unless what the Chinese government has claimed for a while is true - MS have a backdoor into all Windows for secrity purposes (MS will neither confirm nor deny this) - if the law passes they may be allowed to use the backdoor :D :D	John Grieve (367)
82646	2002-09-27 06:34:00	>> MS have a backdoor into all Windows for secrity purposes (MS will neither confirm nor deny this) That's what I've believed ever since I learnt about the index.dat files and the FastFind utility. Not to mention the fact that MS want to run Active X everytime you go to their update site just for a nosey and some of their other pages. Exactly what IS this Active X doing?	Susan B (19)
82647	2002-09-27 07:45:00	That's bollocks. Have MS built a back door into Linux too? You're all forgetting why firewalls were made...	SoniKalien (792)
