I don't have the name anymore, but I found a tool that allowed me to easily (automatically) move all my pictures over. I don't believe there's much facebook can do to stop this, provided the tool runs locally on the user's machine.
They are welcome to knock on the door and request a mandatory security audit. However you need a court order to get in my house if I haven't invited you or you will face my friend Ann Ruger and her associates from L. Ead and Co.
You would have every right to turn away the representative, but the consequence would be that your internet connectivity license would be immediately revoked. If the MAFIAA needs to be able to prove that you have control over your network in order to successfully sue you in court for piracy, then you having access to the internet must be contingent on the MAFIAA being able to prove that you have control of your network. We can't have people downloading pirated material and then have no way to prosecute them! (/tongue-in-cheek)
Are you suggesting you want a MAFIAA representative knocking on your door every month for a mandatory home network security audit, paid for using your tax dollars? Because that is the next logical step for these bastards if the courts take your approach.
Should be noted that often these types of (politically) pointless vandalisms occur as a by-product of genuine civic unrest (peaceful or otherwise)
Should also be noted that vandalisms give police an excuse to use force on the entire group (peaceful protesters plus vandals). Such was the case in the Toronto G20, for example. If I were an unethical power hungry cop who just wanted to bash some skulls in, I'd be considering inciting vandalism myself.
the NSA 'may', under 'certain circumstances' have the authority to track U.S. citizens by intercepting location data from cell phones, but it's 'very complicated.'
"Very complicated", referring of course to the process of determining whether your political leanings are threatening or not to the government in power.
I figure there's a pretty good load of money to be made by stockpiling these things and selling them to desperate homeowners in a few years once they're scarce. Anyone who's already started stockpiling may be in for a scare...
devices become more susceptible to random fluctuations from thermal effects, stray electromagnetic fields and other kinds of noise
Yes, I'm imagining a big sticker on my new magnetronic iphone, depicting a big horseshoe magnet with a diagonal line through it. Airport security suddenly has to have a separate X-ray-less inspection line for portable magnetronics.
At the moment, electrical currents are used to generate a magnetic field to erase or flip the polarity of nanomagnets, which dissipates a lot of energy. Ideally, new materials will make electrical currents unnecessary, except perhaps for relaying information from one chip to another
Nanomagnets are hardly impressive, everything is being made "nano" these days. Efficient and reliable CONTROL of magnetic fields (e.g without moving electrons in an electromagnet) seems to be the critical missing piece to this puzzle.
A related story at the Guardian suggests that governmental attempts to control the internet are spurring these activities.
These hackers are to the internet as street thugs are to a dark alley! Catch 'em and Guantanamize 'em!
These are acts of activism based on a desire for a better and free society, you say?
Oh please! Next you'll be telling me that many of these hacking act thingies require education, intellect, and creativity beyond that of an average person...
I can already control my home, and various media centers with my iPhone via LinuxMCE. Granted, the UI sucks, and there's major lag, and it's a major pain to set up, but it works and it's worked for a while now.
No matter the form of the internet, as long as it is possible for me to send a bit of data to you across it, then it is theoretically possible for me to privately communicate with you using it.
The speed and convenience with which I can do so depends on the form of the internet and the quality of the system that we use to disguise our communication.
I imagine the telcos DO have to track this information for their own purposes - so it shouldn't be too difficult for them to let Big Brother have a gander at the info. But to require APPROVAL for each? Getting government approval for the most trivial things takes way too long, let alone an entire network's equipment complement.
You'd basically slow network development to a halt and end up in a technological stone age relative to other countries. Good luck Australia
I'm an electrical engineer working in an office full of mechanical engineers. They told me this during a lunch-room discussion. Apparently I was being had.
The article says Pace's foot was resting on the accelerator. It must not have been down fully, which is lucky because a car engine will easily overpower its breaks (or the car that's heroically in front of you trying to slow you down).

Between this secret document and the wikileaks cables uncovered it's pretty clear that the US owns Canada.

Thank you very much sir!
Assange has a long hard battle ahead I think.
You had to fit "long" and "hard" in there, didn't you?

They're calling it the most powerful laser of it's kind, and it's a new kind of laser...

This project shows how to convert a toy from a second-hand store into an Enigma machine.
The only problem with that word is how closely it resembles the word: Enima
Damn it, thanks a lot - now the song's stuck in my head.
I'm pretty sure I'd find it catchy even if I hadn't exposed myself to endless hours of it during CIV play over the years.
For many uses of the internet latency isn't a big issue.

Yeah you change a tube here, a valve there - not much to report at all!
