• Polyester and graphite? Will these work? Graphite is conductive. I've seen "cloth" made from aluminum foil with duct tape on each side. This can be sewn into clothing. If more than 1 piece of "cloth" is used, one can use thin wire for some of the thread in the seams. Police and government have grown too powerful, and any method the citizens can use to protect themselves is fair.

• Actually, It's Copyright Infringement
  Theft can be compared to someone taking a vine from a nursery without paying for it.
  
  Copyright infringement can be compared to someone buying a vine, rooting a cutting, and passing it on to a friend. Copyright infringement is not theft, it is simply a violation of a right holder's monopoly on distribution.
  
  The huge verdict is a violation of the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution which states.
  "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
  
  Unfortunately, copyright "law" permits excessive fines or punishment in violation of this provision. Assuming each of the titles at issue in this case are on separate CD's and the price of each CD is $20.00, the damages awarded should have been less than $1000 + lawyers' fees. The price of buying these CD's would have been around $480.
  
  Another issue should have been deliberated is whether these titles deserved copyright and if so for how long. The U.S. Constitution provided for copyright so that sciences and USEFUL arts would be promoted. Are the titles at issue USEFUL, or are they more trash promoting behavior detrimental to society?
  
  Jurors should also be aware of the powers they have when deciding issues. The Fully Informed Jurors Association has a website that educates jurors about their powers. It can be found at http://www.fija.org . In reply to: "Four reasons why the RIAA won a jury verdict of $220,000"

• Kernel Configuration
  Any computer manufacturer who wishes to support Linux should include a page that shows each Kernel configuration options for the default installed kernel. This will tremendously help those who wish to use a different Linux distribution. In reply to: "Dell surveys customers on Linux choices"

• Better yet.....
  Vote for someone from the Constitution Party. I'm sure they will not be promoting this crap. Even though they are against sodomy, etc, things would be much better under that party's control. This is because police would need real probable cause in order to search someone's house. When the government realizes that a person's house is their castle, then people will be free do do what they want in their bedrooms.
  
  If you are called for jury duty or know someone else who is, please visit http://www.fija.org The Fully Informed Jurors Association teaches people about their powers as jurors. Of enough people visit this site and took its advice, then no-one would be convicted under this asinine measure.

• They are back online
  Yes, they were knocked offline for a couple of
  days. When standing up to a bully once, I was
  puched and knocked down. The next day the bully
  came at me again. This time, I stuck him with a
  pencil. Did I get beat up? Yes I did. However,
  the bully got hurt as well. When the bully came
  at me on another occasion, I threw sand in his
  eyes and was able to blacken his other eye. Had
  I just put my arms in front of my face (this is
  what filtering spam is all about), the bully
  would have no reason to stop hitting me.
  However, when I fought back, the bully left me
  alone. What is happening now is that thousands
  of people who have been bullied (spammed) are
  fighting back. Yes, there will be some black
  eyes, but there will be many spammers who will
  think twice if they know that they stand a very
  fine chance of getting hurt in the process.
  
  If Blue security goes down again, here is another
  antispammer tool:
  
  http://www.plaza1.net/SpammerSlapper/
  
  If only 10% of all internet users punched back
  against spammers, then the less than one percent
  of prolific spammers will be defeated. Once they
  are put out of business, then most e-mail will
  once again be legitimate. I know that I would
  have to have to fight 10 angry people at once.

• Idiots Buy That's Why
  There is a sucker borne every day. Spam is sent
  via on of millions of malware-infected computers,
  and it costs the spammer nothing more than an
  Ineternet connection to send spam. The spammer
  instructs malware infected computers to send sapm
  so that any complaints received wil be against
  the owner of the malware infected computer. This
  owner gets to deal with the ISP while the real
  spammer gets away scott free. The only costs
  that a spammer incurs is the cost of an internet
  connection, the cost of writing malware or
  renting an army of malware infected computers,
  and the cost of the website advertised by spam.
  
  The website advertised in spam is what is used to
  receive any orders submitted by the .01% of
  users. Besides the initial setup costs, it cost
  nothing to send out a spam to a million people.
  Even if .01% of people are stupid enough to
  actually order the product advertised, that is
  100 orders. A hundred sales is quite a low
  estimate for spam run, but even a hundred sales
  is very profitable for the spammer.
  
  In order to stop spam, one has to stop the profit
  motive for spam. One way to do this is to stop
  orders from coming in, and the other way is to
  increase the costs of receiving the incoming
  orders. Filters, blacklists as well as antivirus
  software have been used to prevent spam from
  reaching users. This method has not been
  successful because enough spam still reaches the
  idiots who order the crap advertised. When
  filters work well, the result is more spam is
  sent out. What Blue Security is doing is
  increasing the costs of receiving orders. A
  website operator has to pay in order to have a
  website hosted. A part of the hosting package
  usually includes a certain amount of traffic each
  month. When that amount of included traffic is
  exceeded, the webhosting company must pass the
  costs to the person who operates the website.
  When a spammer's website starts receiving
  complaints from Blue Frog users, most of the
  traffic the website receives is complaint data.
  By flooding a spamvertised website with
  complaints, the costs of traffic can easily
  exceed the money sent in by the idiots who are
  ordering merchandise. When expenses exceed
  revenue, a spam business is no longer profitable,
  and the spammer has no reason to continue to
  spam.

• The Fight Is On!
  I am glad to see that the spammers are now the
  ones who are hurting. In a desparate attempt to
  discourage users from fighting back, they have
  resorted to their old tricks.
  
  If spammers do succeed in shutting down Blue
  Security permanently, then I will write my own
  spam complaint tool. This tool will use a
  cryptographically signed instruction file that
  will be spread via peer to peer protocols. When
  distributed via peer to peer, spammers will have
  no centralized target to attack. Since there
  are no centralized email servers used in
  spamming, this is the reason it is no longer
  effective to shutdown spam spewing machines.
  However the places where spammers collect their
  money (websites) are still centralized. These
  are attacked by Blue Frog programs.
  
  Spammers are in business to make money. People
  who are fed up with spam enough to sign up for
  Blue Security are not the ones who buy from
  spammers. The lists of Blue Frog email
  addresses is valuable to spammers in the fact
  that the list will identify those who are likely
  to cause problems rather than profit.
  
  A bully that is allowed to punch someone with
  near impunity has no real reason to stop.
  However, if the bully's victim tries to punch
  back and recruits other victims to puch back at
  the same time, the bully is going to get his
  nose bloodied. Having an angry mob of bullied
  victims kicking the living sh** out of the bully
  is not what he wants. He wants a victim who
  will do nothing more than cover his face and
  body when being beat up.
  
  I too have put together a spammer fighting tool.
  This one should be used by web page authors to
  punish spammers who spam the author's email
  address.
