Right, and so long as they are not storing any identifying information with the data, there really is no problem with it. You could have an opt-in to add extra data, unpopulated by default, but on the whole, if it is just telemetry, there shouldn't be a problem.
Tip, all of these RFID systems (paywave, etc) use a magnetic field to power the device. Simply placing a sheet of tinfoil in the lining of whatever you have the card in (the slot in your wallet/purse) and that field will be suitably disrupted to make them impossible to read.
The commercial jamming solutions usually use a woven pouch with metal in it. There are also active jammers (see the video) that trigger on the magnetic field presence and then jam the spectrum the cards use.
It isn't quite a tinfoil hat, but in this case it works...
I prefer keepass for this. Chrome + Firefox on windows 10 (chrome is only for youtube/netflix on my TV), firefox runs noscript.
Code editing is notepad++, text editing is via google docs, text writing is from LibreOffice.
Essential other software? The aforementioned keepass, steam, skype.
What it 'looks' like? Two 24" screens with a 24" TV in a quarter circle, my computer itself has its rear facing my keyboard in winter, facing the window in summer.
As for the big question, absolutely not. No food from a laboratory should be eaten, ever. When they bring this tech to factories and 'farms' then yes, I will eat it without a qualm. The moment food is put into a lab, it ceases to be food and becomes an experiment.
This. One is about science and philosophy, the other is about sword-fighting space-wizards. Neither is bad, but like the parent said, they are comparing mandarins to pears.
Wow, you are all over this thread. Okay, here goes. They had their ideas, they stored them on their own computers. Someone hacked into them and stole them. They stole their ideas, that were rigidly defined. They copied them, they took the copy they made and had it in their possession. That is stealing. Taking something that doesn't belong to you IS stealing. The whole 'denying it to the owner' argument is BS. If I steal something physical from someone, then give it back in perfect condition before they need to use it again, that is still stealing.
How would he have exfiltrated the data? He would have made a copy, then took that copy (out of memory in this case). You are being pedantic as all heck about that, so I feel I have a right to be pedantic back.
Media industry has nothing to do with it. Stealing is defined as 'taking something without permission', which is what this guy did. He took a copy of the code without permission. That is stealing.
Slashdot Mirror
Shh, this could be a great way to deal with a whole mess of stupid people.
I am so sorry to hear you only have half a brain-cell. Although it is promising to see you able to post comments to slashdot.
I challenge you to find the explicit parts on the pic. The pony in question is as explicit as a ken doll.
That's just the thing, that MLP image wasn't explicit, it was a parody image.
Why, if it is now EOL, and they are releasing the last update, did they not make it "159"
Then we could run Pi Linux 3.14.159
I know, I know, version numbers and such, this was still a missed opportunity.
Err, uh, YES, it is a mistake! We have totally not converted the country into a huge ship and are on our way to invade Hawaii. NOTHING TO SEE HERE!
Right, and as I linked elsewhere, it is completely anonymous. Better orgasms for everyone!

Oh, and a little poking at the guys who found it reveals this: https://twitter.com/0x0i5/stat...
So basically, there is not an ounce of data in there that can point to a particular user, it is completely anonymous. Storm in a fucking teacup...
"Black Friday Online"?
You want to burn half of Victoria, virtually?
And those are probably just as easy to skim and duplicate.
Also, wasn't this done in an NCIS episode about 5 years ago? I mean, come on Jeep!

You consider /. to be part of the government? Hot dang are you trying to inflate their ego?
Duh, it is so HE has his passwords too.

Ah, there is a problem here. You imply McDonald's makes food. They don't, they make profits and stuff that makes me sick.
Sorry friend, can't do that.

I bet he is an apple user...
It is sad I laughed at this, almost as sad as the question ye olde grandparent asked.
And now I want a milkshake...

We can, Google have one. It is getting people to understand its use that is the problem.

Sure you did, you copied it and took the copy for yourself. You now have it in your possession. Tell me how that isn't taking?

The common definition requires taking something away so that the original owner no longer has accessed to it.
[citation needed]
The common definition does not specify that at all. It is just 'taking something from the owner'.
