Might come under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
This might violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The threshold phrase there is "exceeds authorized access". Explicitly bypassing a security measure is usually considered to satisfy that definition of criminal conduct.
Attempts to use the Computer Fraud and Abuse act have failed with regard to "Flash cookies", because the plaintiff was unable to show $5000 in damages, even across a large number of users. But since then,. Google has offered a deal where users give up their privacy for $25 in gift cards. Google has now put a price tag on privacy, which can be used as evidence against them in valuing future intrusions.

Re:And people ask me why I don't use Chrome
If you need to block Chrome installs in your locked down environment you can: http://support.google.com/installer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=146164. At one point early in Chrome's life (before the policies existed) we had a desire to block Chrome as it was playing havoc with our authenticated proxy servers (it would just hammer them with failed authentication requests). It plays nice with proxies now, so we don't do anything to either enable or disable Chrome.

Re:Study in texas....
Hmm. Perhaps you are right, but there is something going on above and beyond the math.
Allow me to match your anecdote.
I have also been near one of these wells during a frakking operation, I have family members who are close enough to one to watch while they are pumping.
There are cracks in the foundation of the house that only formed after the well went live, and the tremors that i've personally felt were considerably more active than "Just a big bang".
For the record, I live in Southern Louisiana. The entire southern half of the state is on so much mud that most of our population isn't even aware that we had a 5.3 quake last year, or that we have had 74 earthquakes with magnitude greater than 3.0 in the last 10 years and 4 greater than a 4.0 in the last 2 years.
However, everyone in the parish (our version of a county) knows when they start frakking at any of the 4 wells in the area. (to the point of commenting about it to the workers when they go to the grocery store after work).
It's not a nuclear bomb, but there is definitely some noticeable vibration.
Perhaps you are in a less geologically active area, or perhaps the company working your area is more responsible than BP:Amoco, but it doesn't change the fact that thousands of people have stories just like mine
Perhaps someone should start a kickstarter to fund some impartial research into this, starting by correlating recorded activity and epicenter data with known start and stop dates of wells going into and out of production.
All of this data is already available via sites like http://neic.usgs.gov and sonris, we just need someone to sit down and correlate it. -
Google has this problem with their forms, too.
It's not just JotForms. Google is now the leading site being exploited to host phishing pages. Google has reasonable defenses against phishing for their "sites" product. However, Google doesn't seem to have those protections on their document and spreadsheet products. Here's a fake login form hosted by Google. That's been up since 2010. Here's a fake login page hosted as a Google spreadsheet. Google allows unlimited HTML in a spreadsheet, which means it can be abused in this way. We have a full list, if anyone is interested.
"formbuddy.com" and "surveymonkey.com" can also be abused in this way. Formbuddy seems to kick phishing pages off quickly. Surveymonkey, not so good at this.
If you offer free hosting, and don't have aggressive anti-phishing controls in place, you will be pwned.

Who's this for?
For "normal" people, obviously:
There are 1,170,938,000 people in India.
The Taj attacks were carried out by 10 men.
Meaning 99.9999991% of the people to be affected by this are NOT the poster children/excuse for this kind of tracking.
It seems all the governments of the world are in a race to be the most onerous and most oppressive. They learn from each other, and so must we (normal peeps).

Re:Really?
No, I actually think it is a good issue to start rising. You know, in thte last two years there has been an increasing interest in so called fair trade electronics. I think it is a concept that in the future will be increasingly popular.
Nowadays, there is a push for fair-trade products (at least here in Europe). It is logical to think that Electronics manufacturers will start fair-trade programs. I think Apple is going to be one of the first ones (and as far as I know, it is the one that is *starting* to go that way). The reason is mainly because Apple's success is in the "face" it provides for their products which is seen as an "added value". So, apple (or maybe Sony) would be the perfect company to create a new series of products (that are a bit more expensive) with a "fair-trade" certification and which people will buy (just because they are fair trade).

Re:We should boycott only now?
Because Sony already replied, blamed it on an employee (not implying he did it following her death, just implying that an employee had raised prices at that point) and had repealed the prices.

Re:Maybe I've been reading Slashdot too long...
What does your brain look like when you click "hotmail"? How about "teen"? How about "cheeseburger"? Have you seen your brain image when clicking "I ACCEPT"?
The chairs in your doctor's offices, interview offices, lending offices, etc. do not move very often, do they?
Do you suppose that, in the modern age of nanotech, there's a combination of a brain scan with a speed reading radar gun?
Got your thought again--morons. It's an MRI cannon, works like a hand-held highway radar gun, and about one in fifty people have the dollars and the social connections to get their hands on one. Have you read ten minutes of any article to profile your brain word for word, have you recite a ten minute speech into a recorder, maybe have you sit in an interview session, how about your performance review for stress testing the brain scan, or just watch you in particular when you surf porn at night and profile your neural networks for every mouse click.
Morons. Do you suppose it's good enough to read passwords as you type them? Would you like to bet real money on that? I could use a few dollars and a nice place to sleep and shower for a few days.
Morons. We don't need no stinking electrodes. We have been playing around with oscilloscopes wired to directional microphone dishes since the thirties.

Re:not "idiot" but "questioning"
BTW, some of these diseases really are quite extinct in the US.
Good thing nobody from outside of the U.S. ever comes here.
Getting infected is about as likely as getting hit by lightening.
That's because most people are vaccinated. If we stopped vaccinating for some of these things it would be a tragedy. Vaccines are truly a modern wonder. We should be grateful we have them.

http://www.infowars.com/new-study-finds-direct-link-between-vaccines-and-infant-mortality/
According to his biography, “Goldman has served as a reviewer for the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Vaccine, AJMC, ERV, ERD, JEADV,and British Medical Journal (BMJ). He is included on the Editorial Board of Research and Reviews in BioSciences.”
Miller, a medical research journalist and the Director of the Thinktwice Global Vaccine Institute, has been studying the dangers of vaccines for 25 years.
“Linear regression analysis of unweighted mean IMRs showed a high statistically significant correlation between increasing number of vaccine doses and increasing infant mortality rates,” the study found, adding that the results demand an “essential” inquiry into the correlation between vaccine doses, biochemical or synergistic toxicity, and infant mortality rates.
Despite the fact that the United States administers the highest number of vaccine doses to children in the entire developed world, 26 before infants reach the age of one, its infant mortality rate is higher than 33 other nations, all of which administer less vaccines. The study clearly illustrates the fact that developed countries which administer less vaccines have lower infant mortality rates, suggesting a direct statistical link between vaccination side-effects and infant deaths. -

Re:Always torn on these cases
-
no you arent.
anyone arguing against you would be idiots.
infant mortality rate goes up in proportion to number of vaccines mandated. countries that mandate minimum vaccines, bottom the list, whereas countries which mandate more, top the list regardless of their development and wealth.
-
he made it up.
-
where is that study ?
dont make fucked up information to support misconceptions.
child mortality rate goes up in proportion to number of vaccinations mandated. u.s. tops the list arond somewhere.
-
no.
and, no. you are the moron who is not backed up by statistics.
child mortality rate goes up in proportion to mandatory vaccination numbers per country.
-
not necessarily autism
but anything else. child mortality rate goes up in proportion to number of vaccinations per country.
-
those dangerous fools have statistics behind them
infant mortality rate goes up in proportion to number of mandatory vaccinations per country.
what do you have behind you, aside from 'vaccinations should be good' perception ? a perception which has the backing of a huge industry and its think thanks, by the way ?
how is that any different from 'hey there are terrorists lets spend money for security' ?
america has higher vaccination than most countries, and despite that highest child mortality rates per population. in contrast, finland, a on-top-of-the-world society (according to human development index), has minimum vaccinations, and minimum mortality rates ?
-
sure.
lets just vaccinate the hell out of kids so they can become a statistic in the infant mortality rate below instead
the infant mortality rate goes up in proportion with the number of vaccinations per countries.
-
yeah.
instead, they should brave the vaccinations, so that their children can be another statistic :
the statistics that show infant mortality rate goes up, as more vaccinations are mandated. you will find finland, which is a country in which vaccinations are at a minimum at bottom, and u.s. and australia near top, with more vaccinations.
the increase of child mortality and vaccination is proportional.
-
wow
is this 'idiots' parade day' on slashdot ?
INFANT MORTALITY RATE IS HIGHER IN COUNTRIES WHICH REQUIRE MORE VACCINATIONS. and it is proportional
-
she was right. you were the moron for avoiding her
let me summarize :
child mortality rate is higher in countries which require more vaccines.
-
Oh. that should be why infant mortality is higher
in countries that require more vaccines.

Re:OPT OUT
This is a non-violence approach as best as Ghandi himself would have come up with. If the everyone opted for a pat down, then there would be massive queues as the TSA sods could not keep up with the folks in line, that gives them bad press - which is the last thing they want coming up to an election.
A possibly more effective solution: Refuse to fly. Take a bus, take a train, drive, or forgo travel, but don't pay into the system by buying a plane ticket.
Good luck with that. https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=TSA+Vipr&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 They're coming to your bus and train stations as well as check points on the road with the highway patrol.

Re:No reason to be trusted in the first place
Huh, they do. That's WHY you should trust CA certs less.
See: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.security.policy/browse_thread/thread/7ba51ca49de0f6cf
Summary: At least one CNNIC CA cert (think Chinese Gov) is signed by Entrust. So by default most browsers that trust Entrust will also automatically trust CNNIC.Which is not so good if one day the Chinese Gov decided to MITM you.

Re:Nothing A Screwdriver and Some Clips Can't Fix.
I don't even understand why a company would bother. Electricity is what, about 8 cents a kw? So powering a 1000w microwave for an entire hour is only 8 cents. Laptop for an hour would probably be less than 1 cent, so why would you put in an expensive outlet when you could just let people charge their devices for a penny?
If they're worried about people stealing electricity then install locking electrical boxes that fit over the outlets.
Also... I'm not sure how this Sony outlet would work.
"a new power outlet that can identify who is connecting to it, and therefore allows for an individual to be charged for use. The key to the intelligent outlet is the inclusion of an integrated circuit which communicates over the power line connection. It can check the identity of the device, and therefore the owner of that device before deciding what to do. "
Ok it communicates... with what, exactly? It's copper wire, going into a battery... what's it talking to? It's not ethernet, it's not hacking into my iphone or laptop or whatever, how is it checking the "identity of the device", unless I own a special "smart" power cord that can communicate back.....
Ah, I understand, article is BS
There's no "magic" integrated circuit that can automatically just read anything plugged in and pass on your credit card number, according to Sony you must have a special smart AC charger to communicate with the outlet.
And how many people are going to buy these special smart AC chargers? No one. So how many outlets like this will there be? Zero. Whole idea is a bust. Add this to the long list of failed proprietary Sony formats like MemoryStick, UMD, DAT, Minidisc and ATRAC Audio Compression. -
no.
of course, if you are not talking metaphorically.
china is the top creditor to u.s. still, despite dumping a lot of it, going to 1.13 trillion or so from 1.5+ trillion, after chinese finance minister or trade representative said 'u.s. dollar was worthless now'.

Re:To the Bone!
Bzzt, thanks for playing!
I don't mind grammar nazis; what I do mind are people who espouse incorrect grammar based on ridiculous, made-up rules that don't actually apply to English.
Here's what the M-W Dictionary of English Usage has to say:
fewer does refer to number among things that are counted [...] less refers to quantity or amount among things that are measured and to number among things that are counted. Our amended rule describes the actual usage of the past thousand years or so.
(Emphasis mine.)
As an obvious example, you will never hear someone say, "I made fewer than $50k last year," even though money is perfectly countable. You'll never hear it because it's ungrammatical, even though it follows your made-up rule. The actual rules are non-trivial, which is why M-W devotes a couple of pages to 'em.

DNS does that for you...
DNS A records (i.e., the ones that provide IP addresses to web browsers) are different from MX records (i.e., the ones that provide IP addresses to MTAs), and in your domain you already have both.
Just keep the ownership of your domain, point the A record to the new guy's server and keep the MX record as it is (or point it to Gmail, to finally move all the email addresses off your SquirrelMail thing...)
