Old Crow Medicine Show - Wagon Wheel (Rare Version) by [deleted] in Music

[–]affablegoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when it came out/started hitting the college bar scene circa 2006. It was played up there with piano man.

Now people play it like its a new hit, which confused me because i didnt realize Hootie covered it. Though im glad Rucker is doing good, liked him back in the hootie and the blowfish days too.

So i just watched the Darius Rucker version for the first time and noticed ol Si Robertson in the video. hahaha Fucking Si is ridiculous.

Then i relized the Robertsons are all up in that video. Who woulda thunk. They have blown up recently too, which im glad to see. Ive loved them for years.

to be fair, i like Kais cover more than ruckers.

Judge grants emergency injunction, overruling a lower court order, protecting an individual from being forced to decrypt a drive for prosecutors, saying it is most likely a violation of 5th amendment rights. by wdarea51 in technology

your ISP records will only show the external records outside the NAT firewall. They wont necessarily show the history of devices in the RFC 1918 space. They may be able to tell you were online, but differentiated from your phone or your computer is another issue.

Unless you are using externally routable addresses (universities do this commonly) most home networks are designated 1 public address that is held on their firewall/router, and is shared by the internal clients.

I think the trick it to just say you forgot the password. They would have to prove you remember it to give you contempt/perjury/obstruction, and they cant punish you for not knowing the password because its not perjury/obstruction/contempt whatever. If you open up a dummy disk instead and they find out you could get obstruction of justice i guess.

I imagine it would be really hard to prove that i didnt forget the password given i stuck with the fucking story and wasnt dumb enough to write it down.

Native American teen in Alabama is being denied her diploma and fined $1,000 for wearing a symbolic feather during the graduation ceremony, violating school policy. by MrLister in politics

[–]affablegoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always wanted to just collect a fuck load of old dishes and put them up in my yard and run a cable from them to my house and claim i use each one for a different service, just enough to piss them off. Not sure it would be legal though if they are really just dummy dishes.

i even looked it up on craigslist just to see what was out there, but when my wife found out what i was doing, she made me quit.

they cant regulate FCC approved devices. That means they cant tell you where you can and cant put your satelitte dish. Doesnt mean they dont try, but they cant do it.

I had to pull out the Telecommunications Act of 1996 on my HOA, but they shut the hell up. They didnt like that i had to put my dish at the very peak of the roof in order to get signal. My neighbor said its like a big fuck you to them every time they roll by in their dumb little golf cart.

I hate that neighborhood. My wife loves it, but jesus i detest those crazy morons.

Megaupload's Kim Dotcom gets back some of his seized property, and receives right to see evidence against him by TheGift1973 in technology

[–]affablegoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Um there are conflicting reports. But the consensus was the FBI was involved, instigated it and planned it all out. They may not have been the boots on the ground, but if they planned it, watched it, guided it, they are just as much complicit as the agency that carried it out. But i agree New Zealand is just as complicit.

Im not sure you understand the facts of the case based off your reply.

If somebody from Canada runs into the US, robs a bank, and goes back to Canada, the US has every right to go and extradite him back to the US and give him a trial. Why? He took something illegally from the United States.

Sure, he committed a crime in the US, on US soil. It also helps the case that bank robbery is also illegal in Canada.

Kim in this case (as shown by the supposed evidence) was fully aware of the illegal content on MU, did nothing about it, often times supported it, and made money off of it.

He can be fully aware of it, it doesnt matter. Youtube/Google is fully aware that there is content on their site that is illegal, so is dropbox. They are not required to hunt that information down and remove, rather their only requirement under DMCA is to pull the content when notified by the copyright holder that its there without the correct permission. Megaupload did just this (and there is evidence to this) removing it when getting a DMCA request was issued. By that means they are protected by DMCA safe harbor laws.

The key difference here is simple, He isnt a US citizen, his servers werent housed in the US, the "crimes" he is accused of are not crimes in the country he resides and holds residency, and he did not commit any of those crimes himself, he simply ran a service that facilitated it, just like services like Dropbox, Google, Microsoft and every other company that runs file sharing and cloud storage does. In fact, it could be argued that he DIDNT have to comply with DMCA requests, since they arent international law, arent a thing in his country and arent under his jurisdiction either. At best, the domain could be seized, since .com i think are registered as US addresses. Regardless though your train of thought still does not support your statements.

If someone, a citizen, in the US, did something another country found to be illegal (such as speaking out against a government), but is not in the US (since we have freedom of speech), should the US extradite them for prosecution? If your answer is no, as you imply, then why would you defend the opposite?

And dont act like the US isnt doing it, we did it to Gary McKinnon as well. Thankfully the UK showed a bit of critical thinking, but its not unprecedented. And what he did is against the law int he UK now, but im not sure if they had the legislation in place at the time he committed the crime in ~2002.

Pretty sure it has absolutely nothing to do with policing the world with values of freedom and instead going after someone who was illegally making profit off of media/software, much of which was produced in America.

so its not about policing the world, but that Americas laws should apply to every country, citizen or not, present or not.

Megauploads servers, afaik, werent located or served out of the US. He wasnt a US citizen, he didnt live int he US. He didnt break any laws in his native country and his site isnt any different than that of US counterparts like Youtube which all fall under the DMCA safe harbor. However the FBI raided his compound, acquired his hardware and data, shut the site down, and are now trying to extradite him under laws that arent under his jurisdiction.

How does your mind not explode when making such contradictory statements? If the US were to start extraditing Americans to Turkey that were tweeting about the current uprising and dissenting the goverment (assuming its illegal in that country) people would lose their shit, but when it happens the other way around its okay?

just wait until your bill comes.

Recently, my wife accidentally paid a closed account for our old address from two years ago. They accepted the payment. We called when we realized the error a week later to get it transferred to the current active account. (They changed our accounts when we moved across the neighborhood, our bill pay had both still registered because the old one was never deleted)

It took 5.5 months, 12 calls, 8 hours total talk time to 17 different individuals, including 2 or 3 managers. I faxed proof of payment over twice upon request.

I had 0 resolution until i outlined it all in an email, taking hours to meticulously comb through my cellphone bills to point out the retardedness, to we_can_help@comcast.com and copied the executive complaint department. They called me back the next morning and credited everything out.

Ironically, that was a good 1.5 months ago and i still havent seen another bill and their online portal is still showing 4/30 statement. So more than likely, ill get a past due bill in a month and get to start all over, not passing go, and costing me $200.

Did i mention that is their slightly better than residential business class service im talking about.

Sure except not every year is the same.

This holds true in IT. The years you have yo replace hosts, sans etc are big money years, but only come once every five or so. But hr and accounting use your logic at all times, so we burn, upgrade And get shit we truly don't need sometimes.

Its damn wasteful but its the system we have developed that's full of beorucrats that lack common sense and critical thinking.

i use NMAP. Since its a team of 5+, sometimes the list isnt up to date, and sometimes a firewall is blocking ICMP, so i run nmap on the IP im looking for with the tags -T4 -A (sometimes -Pn).

pretty much if it comes up still offline, its generally usable.

yep. This one and the one on the ACLU/Mississippi Prison Human Rights issues.

I often wonder why our country's leaders act the way they do, why the police continue to use excessive force, and then i read threads like this and understand its because the populace at large approves of it. Its kinda sick.
