| So, I am getting shafted by the Justice Department again...
| 
| Here goes: I had a meeting with my probation officer today, and he told me 
| that he has to install monitoring software onto my PC. No big deal to me, 
| that is part of my sentence. However, their software doesnt support GNU/Linux 
| (Which is what I use). So, he told me that if I want to use a computer, I  
| would have to use an OS that the software can be installed on. Which 
| basically means: MICROSOFT AND MONITORING SOFTWARE or NO COMPUTER. I use 
| Ubuntu 7.04 now, and they are trying to force me to switch.

Data Protection Commissioner criticizes search of private PCs online

,----[ Quote ]
| "In the case of a search via the Internet a police officer covertly,
| without the person knowing about it, accesses a person's computer."
| During such an operation he or she might copy data and obtain all
| kinds of personal documents; the police officer was acting as a "state
| hacker," so to speak. Mr. Schaar observed. "Such an approach is in
| conflict with the legal obligation to protect the core of
| individuals' privacy," Mr. Schaar stated emphatically.
