This was a violation of the law and the Constitution by the Executive branch and therefore the President is directly responsible for the violation even if he didn't give a direct order to do so.
What happens if your mobile device forms a node over which someone else gets child porn?
FTFA:Applications include emergency management, security, helping vulnerable people to live independently, traffic control, warehouse management, and environmental monitoring.
I really don't see this protocol, at first anyway, being used for consumer devices. I'm sure someone will find an application for it, but I don't see the need in the near term. And, I would assume, there would have to be some sort of identifier of the sender and ultimate receiver like TCP/IP has in its protocol.
Lybeck tells Ars that he'll be digging into agreements between the RIAA, RIAA member companies, MediaSentry, and the Settlement Support Sentry. Part of that will involve looking at compensation, like how much MediaSentry gets from each settlement. "I'd love to know what kind of bounty MediaSentry got paid to supply erroneous identities to the RIAA," Lybeck says.
I see...
1. Get contract to find copyright violators.
2. The "???" is: Just grab folks that may look guilty.
So - all you guys with guns, who maintain that t
hey can protect us from a corrupt government. Where are you? We need some protecting from a corrupt government.[saracsm = on]
I tried, but they labeled me as a terrorist and put me in jail. Of course, all of my neighbors know that I'm a terrorist now (because the Government says so) and therefore got my just desserts. Because, after all, you have nothing to worry about if you don't do anything wrong!
I mean, how long has Guitar Hero been around for anyways?...I think I know the answer, and it pisses me off.
Gibson is run by really old guys. One day, one of them was being visited at their retirement home, where they run Gibson guitars from, by one of their college age great-grandchildren. He said great grandpa! I've been playing this awesome game called Guitar Hero! Grandpa put two and two together. He's seen the ads with that top hatted guy during TV night and was glad that he was playing a Gibson guitar. He realized it was one of the new fangled computer juke box thingys and immediately called his lawyer in the next room.
I haven't had any problems with speed or connectivity when using torrents and I will admit that while I do leave several legal torrents open at night and on the weekends there are those that are not so legal from time to time...
I haven't experienced any of this slow down or even ask other comments have suggested the "end packets" or whatever that mess up my downloads.
Duduuuude! The FBI is setting you up! Get out!!! Now!
Well, in an ideal world, they'd end up with no customers.
Yes! But, unfortunately, their lobbyists got the politicians to give them local monopolies. So, therefore, they won't lose customers unless their customers are willing to do without.
they'll plant RFID tags in every citizen so you can track THEM on Google Earth.
OK. It may be a good thing. See, let's say there are abuses. If they happen, then the World can say "See, this Big Brother shit is no good!"
OTOH, if there are no abuses, it just might help me take off my aluminum hat and be a little less: paranoid, concerned, whatever... about all of this electronic monitoring. I'm not saying that I'll ever be completely OK with it; just that I may not be as angry as I am when I see shit like this. I'm a little tired at raging against the machine and fighting windmills.
Only a few non-technical managers I have had have had the confidence or humility to just ask me what the best thing they should decide is. And they were the best managers.
I knew one like that. He got fired for not knowing some tech buzz word that I can't even remember myself. Many of those guys are defensive for a reason: maybe because of their own irrational insecurities or maybe they've learned the hard way not to look "stupid".
Let's face it, if you don't know something, many, if not most, IT folks will be quick to criticize and pounce on the "stupid" person and give the poor bastard a bad rep that is almost to get rid of. I once worked somewhere on someone's code that I thought was designed quite well: it was tight, commented impeccably, excellent memory management (in 'C'), and it work as designed. I was told that the original coder has a horrible reputation as being "stupid". I just shook my head and said that I wish I were that "stupid". He was no longer with the company. He quit and got a better job - good for him!
Back in the early 90s when I was a real newbie, I asked an ISP if I needed a special phone line for a SLIP connection. Instead of just saying "No" and being done with it, the guy just kept asking "Why". I was not very technical back then and the internet was extremely new (to the general public) so I wasn't coming up with very good reasons. But still, he kept asking "Why" like some retarded parrot.
Moral of the story is I developed a patient, not condescending, attitude to non-tech people when explaining things.
Microsoft argues that the multiple versions will help it sell more upgrade copies of Vista, rather than relying quite so heavily on bundling with new PC sales. Details differ between markets, but the main targets for discounts are Home Premium (which could be read as a tacit admission that Home Basic is now a dead duck at retail) and Ultimate (the one Microsoft can't be bothered producing Ultimate Extras for).
And how many folks looked at this vague chart and thought well, I need to view photos which the chart says I can't with Home Basic and I want to protect hardware which I need the "Ultimate". I don't have the money for it so screw it.
I thought the same thing. That the home basic can't burn CDs, DVDs or view movies and pictures. But hey, I guess I'm stupid for not assuming that Windows can't do those things on all releases. (Like a few of you did when Vista first came out and I brought up this point. I wrote it off to Microsoft employees trolling this site.)
I don't know how things worked in your family but I descended from two people (who each descended from two people, who each descended from two people...)
One of the coolest things I've ever seen was about he ACLU - I wish I can find the damn source but this is over 20 years ago.
A man, a Grand Dragon of the KKK was arrested and was being tried under some bogus law in TX, I think. It was an obvious trampling of his First Amendment Rights. The ACLU picked up his case. They went down the list and finally found a lawyer who was able to take the case. This lawyer went to the defendant's cell. Before entering the guard said that your ACLU lawyer is here. The KKK guy saw a black man walk in. The Black Lawyer then proceeded to say (IIRC) "I don't like you and you don't like me. But what they did to you is wrong and against the Constitution of the United States of America. And I will fight for you."
They wont fight for the second, but other than that, they're alright.
No, it's not "flamebait". The joke about the lunar landing being faked has been a running joke here on/. for a while. The lunar landing being faked is as outrageous as all of us are really inhabited by alien life forces or that all of us are decedents from just two people.
I guess my sense of humor isn't shared by others. I wish I could just post a fart or something. That seams to be the standard of humor these days.

"cron" job? I thought it was a "ZONK" job?
Wait, let me google ZONK......trying GNU ZONK ....hmmmmm....Holy Shit! It's..he's...she's a person?!?
It'll be the Year of the Linux Desktop (tm).
Maybe he's afraid that one of his asshat politicians will do the same after getting the idea from our asshat politicians?
You forgot the "Think of the Children" crowd. Making anonymous postings illegal will make it "easier" to catch the predators after your children!
This has been a health concern for a while, especially with the possibility of drug interactions.

You described, quite well, how to create a super star team. Which is what most organizations need: not a single star.
