But the point is, if the government was truly protecting freedom of speech for less wealthy people the same way it seems rich and powerful people are protected then this whole situation might have played out in a very different way. If the accused had been a much more wealthy and powerful person it stands to reason this might not have even made it to a trial, and even if it did the jury would have certainly found him/her not guilty on the grounds that it was ridiculous to sue in the first place. Wealth and power really decided the winner of this long before the lawsuit was even started. I hope this publicity helps him win his appeal.
What I can't seem to wrap my head around is why they would even have that kind of information on a computer that is open to the internet. Why on earth would you expose sensitive computers to the world for anyone to hack? It just doesn't make sense to me.
Yes there is another hack which compromises the entire system, allowing homebrew software to be run on it. This hack is difficult to do and is limited to only a certain number of older systems which have an older dashboard software version on them. This hack is easily detectable so once you have it you can't go on xbox live. Its purely for people who want homebew.
heh yeah I read this article and thought, damn im sure glad I got my Droid 2 before they started doing this. I sure as hell didnt have any trouble rooting my Droid 2. I didnt even read anything in the rooting instructions that warned there was an efuse. Guess its not a big deal for people who design the root tools anyway. They just work around Motorola's crap.:/
I think you overestimate the power of each citizen when given this kind of information. The people who can *actually* do something about anything are already getting that kind of information. The only thing that would come from releasing that kind of critically sensitive information to the entire world would be the increasing number of informants killed and loss of extremely important information gathering tools. You must not realize how important it is for a country to effectively and quickly gather intelligence so that it can continue in war and peace without substantial loss of life of its own troops and citizens. Your romantic fantasies of revealing secret government operatives so you can point and yell is absolutely bullshit. You need to realize your place. Realize that there are things over your own head that HAVE to be kept secret to keep your own ass alive. I'm just happy for my own sake, and for the sake of my own friends and family who are currently serving in the military or have in the past, that you are nowhere near any important decision making process in the government. And I hope for the sake of all of our own lives, including yours, that nobody like you has the chance to wreak the havoc you so ignorantly preach. You just don't understand at all. Please just try to understand. The government is made of people who have families, people who are friends of people. Troops all have kids and loved ones. Even secret operatives have a mother. Why would you want to put anyone at risk just so you can get off on it? Why would you want some family to cry over their dead son or daughter wondering why someone would release a document that said they were undercover somewhere? Why would you want important intelligence operatives killed, which could result in bad intel getting to troops on the ground, which could result in a massive loss of life in an operation that was running on bad intel caused by loss of operatives caused by someone thinking like you? This sensitive information isn't just words on a paper, it's representative of lives on the ground. Human beings who are at the mercy of other people's decisions.
Actually chances are they just want to be able to charge "buisness" accounts more for the right to host a web page, have a static ip, and be assured that their service will be prioritized above "home" accounts for service calls and bandwidth should the network be over-taxed.
They already do this. Business accounts dont cost more because of the spiffy name. They charge more because you get things like a static IP and the ability to host web servers among other things. Those things aren't allowed on residential accounts, its right there in the contract.
Because the charge of rape is a two pronged attack. Even if the charges don't stick he will be forever known as a rapist, making people question the merit of the material he is producing. Sure, people who aren't just the general public will still understand the truth of the documents but will the general unwashed masses really care what some rapist says (even though he isn't saying anything, the documents speak for themselves)?
I fail to see how "Zero Gravity radiation suit" is easier than "weightless radiation suit". One conveys what the product actually accomplishes and the other is useless dribble to catch a nice headline. The device does not effect gravity nor the wearers perception of it. That person still feel the gravity from earth pulling them to the floor. Marketing antics are not the same as making it easier for people to understand.
The thing that I love most about this complete hoax, is their demonstration. They show a picture of a "normal" display, which is very dull. Then next to it they show a picture of their "yellow pixel enhanced" display and it is much brighter and more vibrant. BUT WAIT! How can I see that difference with my "normal" display??? I would need a quad pixel display to see the difference in quad pixel displays. X( Well In their defense, making the difference seem so dramatic will really get people motivated to buy their display. Can't miss out on all that yellow after all.
Absolute bullshit. And probably uses more electricity too. I wonder what it does to the physical pixel aspect ratio as well, since adding a pixel changes the dimensions.
Watched this happen live and was really stunned with how relatively smooth it went (when you consider the LHC's track record in the past). Yes a couple problems, but the third ramp was the good one. I cannot wait until they start getting enough data to extrapolate any useful data. The potential for new discoveries is almost guaranteed at this point. Higgs boson, or maybe something that completely changes everything we know. Might not get anything though, who knows. They say they will be ramping up to 14TeV in 2012 (7 TeV per beam) with the LHC. So there is still chance for DOOOOOOMMMM!!! (jk ofc:p)
It wouldn't be too hard to prove that the ring was set off without exposure to water. Taking apart the device and inspecting its components should show that no damage had actually been done and that water had not entered into the device.
I always put tape over my water damage indicator stickers when I get a new phone. Even if the phone is completely covered in water inside, as long as the stickers aren't red you can get a new phone. I once left my phone in the yard and the sprinklers got it. When I found it the screen was completely busted and there was no sound when It turned on. The tape had preserved the stickers perfectly, so after I dried it out with a hairdryer I took it over to Verizon, who happily replaced it with a new phone.
...did you read that to yourself after you wrote it?
Yes, and even reading it now it is perfectly fine and exactly as I intended. Maybe you should read it again or at least post what you think is wrong so that I can correct your erroneous way of thinking.:)
Not every company is out to ruin you financially with expensive warranties. Many companies just ask that you fill out an information card and send it in. My Corsair flash voyager has a lifetime warranty on it which covers anything! I have sent it in for replacement (for free) 4 times now because I snapped off the USB end accidentally. And a couple years ago I called up Logitech and told them my G5 laser mouse's feet were getting worn down and slow and asked where I could buy replacement feet. They sent me a brand new mouse and didn't ask for the old one back. Granted that was probably just a very very generous representative.
My point is, not all companies are out to get you with warranties. In my experience I've only had once company shaft me with a replacement item, and that was ViewSonic because they wanted me to send in my monitor and wait a few weeks for a new one. Shipping was expensive and I need a monitor to work. Your vastly exaggerated claims that "Every consumer electronics company either wants to nickle-and-dime you" are completely wrong. But as this article is about phones and not normal consumer devices I will say this. Yes there are insurance fees for phones that are damaged in a way that is not covered by standard warranties, but that is almost always just water damage. User fault is not a manufacturing defect. Do you consider user error to be something covered under a warranty?
If you sold someone your car and they crashed it, would you pay for the damages since it was YOUR car first?
The fact is most companies are well within reason to not cover damage done by the user. And most of those companies will replace any defective items free of charge. In fact, I can't think of any company that charges you for warranties. Not counting those in-store extended warranties, but just a standard warranty.
The issue here though is that the phone itself is indicating that it has had water damage when exposed to differing climates. It wouldn't be too hard to prove that the ring was set off without exposure to water. Taking apart the device and inspecting its components should show that no damage had actually been done and that water had not entered into the device. I always put tape over my water damage indicator stickers when I get a new phone. Even if the phone is completely covered in water inside, as long as the stickers aren't red you can get a new phone.

How could you then verify a person's claim that their vote was changed? How do you prove that they aren't just changing their own mind at the last minute? I mean if every single vote in a voting machine was changed then you could very easily say that there was some tampering involved, but say a person tampered with many many systems across many states. And then say this person tampered with only a small percentage of votes on each machine and only to a randomly selected group of people (no connections to each other, random number of people). Then it wouldn't be apparent that there was any tampering involved, just a few people who wanted to change their vote after the fact.
Just my thoughts....
Just because a few people didn't find a flaw in the time the spent there doesn't mean there isn't one. If someone found a hack, someone who actually wanted to exploit it, do you actually think they would divulge that kind of information? I would keep my mouth shut and let them think it was secure. Then it would make it even easier when the time came to mess with election results.

I would think the effect itself would dissipate quickly after the magnetic field is turned off or removed from the subject.
Dunno if your kidding or not but if you're serious then I wonder how 2 of the possible sites were let out.
Anyone have a link to the full list of sites proposed to be blocked? I couldn't find it in the source link.
Except for carry around a laptop easily, which is the purpose of a laptop.

The first type also has the option of becoming the second type when nobody listens.
I'll use whatever the government defines as sensitive.
