kona, it isn't just a single thread about linux really, or at least it doesn't seem to be for me. It's a number of threads that have been popping up more often such as the one on boosting federally funded wireless data communications links to a dorm room....
theres been others, but having been in that industry and dealing with government contracts and working with the different local FCC field offices I know just how dangerous just discussing that can be.
Today, a Federal judge gave John Ashcroft and the DOJ legal provincial right to take over by force if needs be, any domain and hardware linked to that domain seen as being criminal in nature. They did in fact take four sites today and have a list of others they are going after and turning all user information over to whom ever they deem could make best use of it, while also secretly investigating anyone they like with wire taps and credit history, etc... The net was censored today... probably ought to mark the callendar....
Ashy gets to pick and choose who he will claim needs arresting....
Wonder if he is going to get the power to remove citizenship including born Americans, like he wants while they are at this?
