No they will call Facebook and "ISP" and require that they block you for "making available". We have seen this in dozens of forms already this is just the next iteration.

Yeah TPB has been around the block, problem is lawyers have them outdated by a thousand years still.
Did the latest round of restriction force them to do a back room deal? Who knows. We all know TPB's record when it comes to DMCA take down requests.
All you can really do is trust that the good guys are still good the bad guys are still bad and the lawyers are still figuring out how to make more money!
under the current methods i would assume the RIAA would just file a DMCA takedown on your facebook profile and poof no more U...
good work NYCL
I am reminded of a line the Joker said in The Dark Knight while visiting Two Face in the hospital.
The Joker: I just did what I do best. I took your little plan and I turned it on itself. Look what I did to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple of bullets. Hmmm? You know... You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan." But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!
The report discussed various types of 3rd party attacks to which computers are subject, and noted:
A miscreant wishing to cover his or her tracks on the Internet has many options, the most likely of which is direct exploitation of one or more computers owned by a third party. Those computers can then be used for activity that the malicious party would not want linked to his or her Internet account. The average uninfected âoelife expectancyâ of an Internet-connected computer running the Microsoft Windows XP operating system without any security updates (âoepatchesâ) is as low as 4 minutes [15]. Since all Windows XP systems attempt to connect to the Internet immediately upon installation/first boot, and since it requires some time to download all security updates from Microsoft (which, for a newly-installed Windows XP system, can measure in gigabytes, with a typical Internet connection only capable of handling a few megabytes per second), it would not be surprising that any given Internet-connected Windows XP computer be infected with any number of pieces of âoemalwareâ (software malicious to the user of the computer on which it is installed).
Seems like there expert is saying here "Hey XP is a sickly child in the streets of Mexico" Kind of interesting that they make this correlation and unfortunately I don't have time to go over the whole report right now but I would like to see what other reads have to say about this part for now
someone mod this fellow up. quite an interesting and insightful post.
I thought myself that given the technology level of the period even if the dating is spot on how on earth do you tell the difference between that and a rock that got smooshed by a much larger rock.
or it didn't happen.
OTOH, what do you suppose a 2 million year old stone axe head would look like? i am suspecting a flake of stone that could well of been made by nature. Who knows though, right?
Okay, I don't by any means think we (US) should be the only ones allowed nukes, but there is many, many places that do not have the stability or security protocols to be able to trust with a weapon of that magnitude.
Secondly yes we are the only people to ever use a nuke in _war_. I am horrified when remembering the outcome of those blasts but I also understand that in _war_ people die, innocent people, fathers, sons and children. When one nation comes against another with such force and determination as Japan did in WW2 and when diplomacy and standard tactics cease to have effect any nation will, and has a duty to there people to, end the conflict in any way possible.
wow sorry grammar police, just came back and read that again. must of had a little more buzz then I thought when i submitted. Please don't shoot
Well spoken, my grandfather flew recon our of Guam during that time in his own words "there was a lot going on at the time, I am glad it finally ended"
So whether it was us or threat of Soviet invasion or a mix we would all do well to head our histories lessons and listen to all sides of the stories.
I admittedly did not vote for Obama but the submitter is _assuming_ he'll be around for several years? I don't think Obama's evil or anything but can we at least see how the first 6 months go before we start thinking that way?
That story was on
It might not be a bad thing but a lot of things I have gone to "the pedia", as I call it, have been items that are changing quite often at the time. The fact the Wikipedia can stay up with recent events and discoveries means I get the best information available. Even if I found some other site with relevant information on any given subject it is very likely the information is stale at best.
Plus if I am not sure how current info is the pedia gives me a way to check exactly when it was added, who added it, and mostly cites credible static pages or articles.
Why go from that level of usefulness to a (possible) 20+ day delay governed by a group that (presumably) is not the best or most knowledgeable on the subject matter?
Yeah those might be the popular countries this week but there are a whole lot of places that could and definitely should NOT have nukes. Hell what if some African militants got a small nuke and just used it locally, that could still set off a world conflict.
Yeah it would have been nice to not have to resort to them but sooner or later they would have been discovered anyways. On a side note lets not forget that even after we dropped the first one on Japan they told us to stick it and kept attacking, we had to smack them again before they actually stepped back and said, whoa we can't handle much more of that shit.
So my in summary while I don't think we should be the only ones with nukes or, that no one should have them I sure am glad it was not Cuba or Germany(Hitler's) or some terrorist fringe that got there first.
