EFF Weighs in on Computer Privacy Case
An anonymous reader writes "A case on appeal to the Washington State Court of Appeals, State v. Westbrook, recently drew the attention of the EFF. They argue that: "citizens have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the contents of their computers, and that their Fourth Amendment rights don't disappear when a computer is delivered to a technician for servicing." This ruling could threaten to 'turn your friendly neighborhood computer repair technician into a government informer' "
I am not against video cameras in a private space (i.e. dressing rooms of a store)
Well, now we know who works as a department store security guard...
We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked.
Umm- this could save the gap a lot of money- Instead of paying security guards, I know a ton of people who would pay to be security guards. Especially at one of those Gaps by a college campus...
"Work at the gap, see a gap!!!"
And All I Ask is a Tall Ship And a Star to Steer Her By
What about sexual orientation? What if the same-sex watchers are same-sex attracted? What about bisexuals, are they not allowed to work as security camera monitors at all?
That's it, we will just have to bring back eunuchs.
I know it's wrong, I am just being honest. Of course I feel dirty searching for images on someone else's machine- but I can't help it. The truth is, there is nothing like seeing the soft supple, nude body of a woman you know. It is better than playboy. You know what you are going to see in Playboy- airbrushed perfection. But it is always a surprise, a festival for the eyes, to see a lady that you know well, yet always see clothed, in the buff. An ass taut like a snare drum, but still soft to the touch. Breasts white as milk, but with rich pink nipples.... Oh man, excuse me, I need to go to to restroom.

4. Make your own clothes. (This could even lead to "profit!!!")
I suppose "???" only applies to underpants?
Boss: My boss says we need some eunuchs programmers.
Dilbert: I think he means UNIX programmers not eunuchs and I already know UNIX.
Boss: If the company nurse stops by, tell her " never mind "
Hint: Most women do option 3.
I was going to mod you down, but then I thought:
What if it was my karma?
+5, Truth
see the EFF, ACLU, NCAA and other organizations [...] as "communist hippies" at best and "terrorists/sympathizers" at worst
While college basketball is pointless and boring, I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to the NCAA as a terrorist group before...
We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked.
Actually I hope you have a set of underwear with you as your not SUPPOSED to be trying on pants/etc without it...
Reminds me of an old Friends joke:
Chandler: What do you mean, it's soap, it's self cleaning?
Joey: Oh yeah? Think about what I wash last and what you wash first...
Chandler: -freaks out-
People in cars cause accidents....accidents in cars cause people
Without more details, you can't apply that label. Child porn is never legal, but not all naked pictures of children is child porn, even though I'd like to see Anne Geddes stopped as much as the next guy.
Never confuse volume with power.
