StoneinaPond Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Can't read the post 'cause it's blocked here. But if the title suggest anything, it's that there's still a little hope. :confused: Yorik Stone In A Pond "Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on."
Gtoledo3 Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Oh boy, one branch of gov can't look through our emails. That doesn't stop the "Carnivore" system! People are so ignorant. :mad: Want mix/tracking feedback? Checkout "The Fade"- www.grand-designs.cc/mmforum/index.php The soon-to-be home of the "12 Bar-Blues Project"

[/quote]Excuse [i]my[/i] ignorance. Carnivore? Please explain. Thanks[/b][/quote]Even before the Sept. 11th bombings, our government pushed through a bill so a giant computer system could be installed that sifts through everybody's email, for the use of the FBI AND CIA. First, they tried to do this covertly, but a major server detected our government tapping into their lines, forcing the issue to be pursued in a slightly more above the table manner. The system's name was "Carnivore". After all of this reached at least the business newspapers (not regular town newspapers nor tv news) our government actually changed the name from Carnivore to something else, b/c of the bad connotation. Basically, they can't legally look through every email for no reason. But if they have even the mildest of suspicions they can look at whatever the hell they want without having to get a warrant.
