Can computers survive cross-examination?

Seagrams 7 it is...I don't think it is 'top shelf' (the regular label I buy, anyway), but it certainly isn't the cheap stuff. Single malt's are nice. VERY nice. This is more of a 'pick up a bottle on the way home' sort of drink. Coke and 7, my other standby favorite Seven and 7 (7-up & Seagrams 7).

I've got a bottle of 151 lying around too...Cuba Libre!!!

The point! Excellent points nihil, in an International theater the issues change drastically. As I said, I didn't ready the article so I don't know if this tosser that wrote it was talking about International case law or what. It sounded to my like an old bullshit trick of journalists and ambulance chasers, to try and cast doubt on a proven and accepted method of doing something, simply to make themselves look good, or intelligent, or officious. Mental masturbation, really; some folks just LOVE to see their name splashed all over the Net.

But yes, if it's an international case, then there are some real issues. I have some real answers for these folks, too. The lads over in Hereford, and our lads in Virginia Beach. Couple of flashbangs, CQB tactics precisely executed (pun intended), and it's all over with and time for a pint.

Ah, if it were only that easy to solve all our problems.

Sorry all, this thread has touched a nerve with me. A pet peeve about 'artificial hype' which this joker seems to be trying to create. My apologies for running amock wi th the topic. If this is a holiday or special weekend for you, enjoy your celebrations. If not, enjoy just another weekend.

Unfortunately there will most likely never be an international law for forensics since each country has their own laws(or in some cases they don't) regarding computer crimes. Each country has their own methods of handling evidence and while similar, they are different. It would be nice but highly unlikely.

Lawyer: So, in your own words, please tell the court how you were used in the committing of this crime.
Computer: Well, it's a bit unclear ...I think..?!?
Lawyer: I think??
Computer: I remember something about emailing the victim, exchange of harsh words, threats, that kind of thing.
Lawyer: Did you log these events?
Computer: Yes.
Lawyer: Can you show us the logs?
Computer: Well ....not ......Uhhh ....not really.
Lawyer: Okay, please tell the court why you cannot show the events you supposedly logged.
Computer: Well, it's rather hard to recompile the logs.
Lawyer (getting frustrated): And why is it hard to recompile the logs??
Computer: Cause I have to filter out a huge load of hardcore porn videos, golden shower pics, and doggy stuff, all around the time he was at work.
Lawyer: Can you show the court these pictures...?!?? Wait....strike that!
