Samba has been around literally for decades and has seen constant reliable use.

You're suggestion that the software is new and poorly designed is invalid.

There are good admins and bad admins. If software that has been successfully deployed for multitudes of years has been a problem then bad admins are far more likely to blame.

Now all Obama has to do is sign a treaty extends their laws here too. Wait... That's already happened too...

There has to be one hell of a fight in gov't circles to keep our freedom ( that's left ) or there's going to have to be one hell of a fight with other means.

There are a few Private DNS systems that live outside the 'official' DNS system that allow people to find what they want regardless of a domain being 'seized'. If they don't control the DNS system they can't remove widescale access to specific domain without actually getting to the physical server.

What I expect is going on is the FBI is going to kill access to these private DNS systems, or, they are engaging a global DNS logging system, or both.

Private DNS systems may be blocked for a short time until a way is engineered around them, or the FBI issues DMCA notices to companies for deploying their own DNS systems.

I wouldn't call that a good design. But maybe I am just too old school. back in the day we used to design for the lightest CPU load possible, not the heaviest.

As for reducing the collective intelligence of slashdot, most of the newcomers have done a good enough job of that on their own.

  No wonder Cmd Taco quit.
