Yeah, /. had a article a while back: "Uncap Your [Cable]Modem, Get Visit From the FBI" http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/03/152232
the originally-referenced article: http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artikkel?SearchID=73115533417343&Avis=TO&Dato=20021031&Kategori=NEWS03&Lopenr=110310051&Ref=AR excerpt: "Members of the Toledo police computer crimes task force and FBI agents seized computers and modems after authorities received information that someone in the residences had reconfigured computer systems to access excessive amounts of bandwidth." Another slash thread about FBI in libraries: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/05/177237 original article: http://www.ctnow.com/features/lifestyle/hc-privacy1103.artnov03col.story American Library Assoc. links: http://www.ala.org/alaorg/oif/usapatriotact.html MSNBC article: "USA Patriot Act: Librarians Keep Quiet" http://stacks.msnbc.com/news/823009.asp Wow! Librarians must NOT disclose FBI visits under fear of criminal prosecution, and the evidence is all secret. Damn those terrorists for eroding our basic rights of freedom and privacy with fear-mongering! Well, this next bit is even less related, but sort: http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/10/12/207222 It's about "Bandwidth Limiting Policies for Web Hosting", but doesn't seem to mention any of the great bandwidth-shaping available in iptables... I thought there was a good option there about dropping packets if the bandwidth for a given rule-matched connection gets too high... anyone, follow-up?
