So, apparently having a national id card will make us all better citizens and those who break the law will be thwarted once and for all.

Everybody makes mistakes. Even Rudy:

Unfortunately, security and emergency management is the wrong place to make mistakes.

A North Dakota judge issued a ruling in Sierra Corporate Design v. Ritz that has some pretty stunning implications about the use of the “host -l” command when accessing DNS records. In the judgment (which was prepared by the plaintiff’s counsel and sent to the judge), the use of the “host -l” command is tantamount to computer hijacking and hacking

And here is what I love most about Digg.com:

SanJayM:
Are you fucking serious? This is why people who know fuck all about the tubes should not be allowed to make legal judgment about them.

Philluminati:
If it’s illegal to access DNS records then I guess we can’t use URL’s. We’ll have to go back to IP addresses. Also, I guess email is off limits as well now. If it’s not illegal to access DNS services then how exactly does “host -l” warrant hacking? This is really retarded.

The Chinese are uploading more Internet videos of sex, scandal and protest. It’s big business—and a headache for Beijing. With an audience estimated at 78 million people, online video is big business in China: Western venture capitalists have poured $120 million into the industry since 2004, according to CCID Consulting, a leading Chinese IT firm. Tudou.com, China’s largest video sharing website, serves more than a billion minutes of video per day, some 30% more than YouTube. “People spent twice as long on Tudou than on YouTube ,” says CEO Gary Wang, who founded the company in Shanghai in 2005. “They really get in and get stuff they don’t typically see on TV.”

But regulations issued by SARFT and China’s Ministry of Information Industry (MII) could be putting an end to that free ride — and sending a shot across the bow of sites who host unauthorized content. Starting January 31, 2008, online video posting will be limited to state-owned or state-controlled video providers; clips that contain violence or sex or are considered “detrimental to the nation’s security” will be deleted immediately. The regulation mainly targets content uploaded by amateurs; experts believe TV and film clips will largely remain untouched. But the most controversial section of the new regulations — that all the video providers have to be state-owned or state-controlled — would almost certainly put the future of online providers like Tudou and competitors Youku.com and 56.com in question, as well as threaten Chinese web portals with video sharing features like Sina.com.
