I don't want anyone bypassing my login to gain access to my phone, especially the government! How do people get this so twisted??? I will not use any device that has a known backdoor in it, for any use!
That lock keeps people out... the only exception I want for that is for people, like myself, who know the code.
OK, so everyone pays $230... how do they pay the websites that you visit? What represents ads? One could argue that www.apple.com is one giant ad for Apple products, right?
Criminals are not going away, ever... If there is a system they will find a way around it, through it, or profit from it. If the system is so locked down to keep that from happening a new system will be built to support vice.
People want what they want, regardless of the legal or morality of said things. To think it can been eliminated by getting rid of cash is just naive.
I live in the Boston area, Marlborough, and FiOS is still in business and selling FiOS. What they won't do is run new fiber to a building that doesn't already have it. They still advertise trying to get people to connect that do have the fiber already ran.
I have moved twice and have been able to purchase FiOS is both locations.
So, unless the commercial talks about running cable the argument doesn't make much since.
It's WELL within the parent's rights to ignore ratings, be unaware of them, or simply not to care about the ratings.
Who cares? Mind your own business! It's not your job to police the morality of others, we have plenty of laws to take care of that.
How is it that so many people have nothing to worry about in their own house that they have to start telling me how I should live in mine? I'm getting sick of it!
It depends, if the bus is empty or full of kids. This is just one example... I doubt there will ever be enough information to program for all circumstances . It will be more like if something happens shutdown and wait for human instruction on how to proceed. Wouldn't there be a network in which the robotic cars could warn others in time to avoid having to make such choice in the first place?
Also, I do not think it will be the gap between how safely an automated vehicle drives as compared to a human counterpart that will stop humans from driving. I think humans will stop driving so it would allow for automated vehicles to drive safely, since there will be less data to take into consideration if all the vehicles are using the same exact operational procedures.
We should automate vehicles to take over the mundane tasks of driving the vehicle and leave the decision making to the human operator. We are the highest order of intelligence for making such decisions (thus far).
The theaters make very little, if any, from ticket sales. They make all their money in concessions. So, if a theater has to buy expensive equipment it will be passed onto the consumer through concessions increases.
Google is no more Evil than any company out there trying to make a buck. Do they care about their users? Sure, but only up to the point where it hurts the bottom line to do so.
This new tactic moves along the same line as their view on SEO. Do they want to make it more difficult to obtain better ranking in their site? Yes, but only to the point where they make it easier to pay to get better position within listings.
Is this new process for handling SSL information biased towards their paying customers? Obviously, they are looking to differentiate their free and paid service. If this were to move into larger deployment, say all users (logged in or not), they would be able to offer, as a premium, to their paying customers rereferer data exclusively.
Follow the money! Does the fact that Google is out there to make a buck surprise anyone? I understand that's their goal and I don't consider them to be Evil because of it.
With that said it seems clear that they are not using standard SSL and therefore they should not be able to advertise that their site uses SSL or HTTPS, IMHO.
At the core of Computer Science is Applied Mathematics but I didn't figure this out until I started graduate studies. Undergraduate was all programming.
Rarely what someone studies at university becomes what they are employed as. I don't work as a computer scientist, programmer, or mathematics. I work in IT, it's all a mater of circumstance.
The difference between a gas vehicle and an electric one, in this scenario, is that fuel once pump from the ground and refined can be stored whereas electric plants have very little, if any, way to store excess electricity.
This is still a silly idea and it would be more far efficent for electric plants to find a better way to store excess power to provide electricity during peak usage times.
It's our service shouldn't we be opting in rather than out? Opting out would somehow imply that it is their right to do this? Didn't they get in trouble once already for scraping people's wifi for their own gain?
If you live in Massachusetts you have to pay a penalty on your state income taxes if you cannot provide proof of insurance. So, you can still pay for your medical care yourself but you are penalized for it.
Through an Md5 database hosted on the RIAA website or funded by the RIAA. Every legal file could be known. And then every illegal file would be among those not in the official database.
If I encode my audio tracks at 128kbps MP3 for my player and you encode it at 192kbps AAC the MD5 hash is going to be different. The options are endless I knew someone who encoded at at 127kbps or 193kbps because they like prime numbers. I cannot imagine that unless the source of the rip encoded a digital marker that anyone, including the RIAA, could prove the music was illegal. I'm guessing the best defense against a case brought against you for music piracy would be a receipt...
ASCAP and BMI already charge businesses (nigh clubs/etc) that earn revenue from live bands covering music and even music being played in a jukebox. Since this is already in place I wonder why ASCAP/BMI wouldn't go after youtube.com rather than try and make the performers responsible.

with and gives way to any manned aircraft; and
(5) when flown within 5 miles of an airport, the operator
of the aircraft provides the airport operator and the airport air
traffic control tower (when an air traffic facility is located at

I live in the Boston area, Marlborough, and FiOS is still in business and selling FiOS. What they won't do is run new fiber to a building that doesn't already have it. They still advertise trying to get people to connect that do have the fiber already ran.
