Welcome to IWETHEY!

New critique?
I've got a couple emails poised to send this to my state Representative and Senator:
Subject: Concerned over SB 1116

After reading this article:
[link|http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/30003.html|http://www.theregist...tent/6/30003.html]

about S.B. No. 1116, I have to question if Senator Williams understands technology enough to be qualified to put forth a bill with such (hopefully) unintended consequences.

From the article:
"Your ISP is a communication service provider, so anything that concealed the origin or destination of any communication from your ISP would be illegal -- with no exceptions.

...

"Worse yet, Network Address Translation (NAT), a technology widely used for enterprise security, operates by translating the 'from' and 'to' fields of Internet packets, thereby concealing the source or destination of each packet, and hence violating these bills. Most security 'firewalls' use NAT, so if you use a firewall, you're in violation.

"If you have a home DSL router, or if you use the 'Internet Connection Sharing' feature of your favorite operating system product, you're in violation because these connection sharing technologies use NAT. Most operating system products (including every version of Windows introduced in the last five years, and virtually all versions of Linux) would also apparently be banned, because they support connection sharing via NAT."
For others in Texas - you can use [link|http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/fyi/address.htm|this page] to find contact info for your incumbents.
