Comment MLAT: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. (Score 1, Insightful) 404

Yes, The Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) was used to seize Indymedia servers in London.

The order was issued by US authorities against Rackspace US for logfiles on servers hosted by their UK registered subsidiary company over the posting of a picture which showed Italian Police murdering a demonstrator in Rome.

Rackspace US responded by delivering the entire servers to the US authorities.

Rackspace lack the spine that Calyx possesses.

Wrong, in so many ways wrong. Here's interferometry for the liberal arts majors: A laser generates a beam of light. The beam can be thought of as a stream of photons. The laser beam is split in two by a beam splitter. The two beams are recombined. Objects in the confluence can be detected by the interference patterns they generate. Note: A laser is a device that produces phase coherent light. A laser is not a beam splitter. A beam splitter is a pair of prisms formed into a cube used to split light beams. Putting a laser in an atom's path is ... best I stop now.

Submission + - Netcraft shows RNC running Ohio election servers

goombah99 writes: Netcraft is showing a very hard to explain event happened in the Ohio 2006 election. The Secretary Of states website IP address, which normally is directed to an Ohio based IP address and handles all the election reporting, was transferred on election night to the Smarttech Corp owned servers out of state. According to the American Registry on Internet Numbers Smartech's block of IP address 64.203.96.0 — 64.203.111.255 encompasses the entire range of addresses owned by the Republican National Committee. This includes hosting the recently notorious gbw43.com used in the Whitehouse. Can Slashdotters suggest any good explanations for this seemingly dubious transfer?
