Second that. I always crimp my Cat6 cables myself. The ones you buy in the store aren't any better. We all put our pants on one leg at a time... Maybe use Heat-shrink tubing for more ruggedness (if required) but that's it. Besides, you're upgrading to 20Mbit and you're running Cat6? I'd just use Cat5e since it's easier to crimp and you get about 600-800 Mbps.

ACTUALLY, the methods and applications of neurofeedback are widely disputed and science has yet to proof that everything the neurofeedback practitioners tell us is true. Thing is, you're basically telling me that if I concentrate too hard, myy brain gets damaged. Without scientific proof that statement opens up a Box of Pandora. Hm... I probably should quit my job to preserve my higher brainfunctions. 8 hours of concentrating a day can't be good.

Hangings still happen in a few states. Agreed with your comment, however, it was distasteful and unnecessary what we did to Saddam.

And this adds to it. Of course Saddam commited enough warcrimes to warrant prison for life, but humilitating a prisoner, forcing him to sign his own photo and then hanging him is a distasteful way of dealing justice.

There is no constitutional right to privacy.

I'm not American and technically you may be right that there is no constitutional right to privacy. However:

"The Constitution does not specifically mention a right to privacy. However, Supreme Court decisions over the years have established that the right to privacy is a basic human right, and as such is protected by virtue of the 9th Amendment. The right to privacy has come to the public's attention via several controversial Supreme Court rulings, including several dealing with contraception (the Griswold and Eisenstadt cases), interracial marriage (the Loving case), and abortion (the well-known Roe v Wade case). In addition, it is said that a right to privacy is inherent in many of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, such as the 3rd, the 4th's search and seizure limits, and the 5th's self-incrimination limit."

Yes it will. Acquiring the list or being in possession of the list is also illegal. Basically, with the new law, even if you don't look at it, you're storing child pornography (most likely for later use, you filthy bastard).

As i said, it's enough to TRY to acquire the list to get you in jail for as long as the government wants.
