Journal: I HATE THIS!

Journal by prjt
A week or so ago I installed a customized XP on my computer, earlier this morning I got BSOD. No way too boot it up at all, it's a notebook so options are limited for me. I could chose to reformat and forget about every customization or I could try and solve this problem. I have googled all day but found nothing that would help. I could use a livecd, backup the content to an external drive and then reinstall XP. If I do, is it possible to retrieve the content from the back, including the setting

EU sues Sweden, demands ISP data retention-> 2

Death Metal writes "The EU passed the Data Retention Directive years ago, a law that demands ISPs and search engines hold onto data long enough to help the cops (but not long enough to cause privacy problems). But Sweden never passed it into national law, and the European Commission has now sued the country to make sure a bill appears."

I would move into a cave, stage a revolution and probably be captured, tortured and killed because I would be considered a terrorist. You could always try and run for office, get people aware and engaged. Everyone uses the internet. remind them of Windows 98 and 56k. It's like our civilization expands from dictatorships and tyranny into democratic countries and then right back to tyranny of some sort.

Pirate Bay P2P Trial Begins in Sweden

Submitted by
An anonymous reader writes "The Pirate Bay's copyright infringement trial is now under way in Sweden, becoming one of the most watched P2P trials. The site is accused of helping users illegally downloaded movies, music, computer games, and more from its web site. If the site owners are convicted, they could spend two years in prison and a fine around $150,000. In addition, many of the leading companies in the motion picture industries are wanting an additional $14.3 million. The Pirate Bay is the world's largest source for BitTorrent trackers, while they do not host illegal content they do provide a means of finding such content. In May 2006 the company was raided by Swedish police who seized their servers and in January of last year the owners were charged with the copyright infringement."
