1) Dont be guilty. 2) Tell them to get a warrant 3) Profit.
For the record they need a warrant to get an image to crack, and its generally not feasible to do.
They just inflate the original sentence to a much worse sentence,
I get the record that only like 3 people on slashdot actually understands how the justice system works. You do know that the prosecution doesnt get to decide your sentence, regardless of what they tell you, right? You do know theyre not obligated to be your buddy, right?
Trite remarks are good for getting +5 mods, but dont be deceived-- theres nothing informative about your post.
Theres never one thing that causes society to collapse. Its an array of factors, and the breakdown of law and order is one of them. Breaking laws contributes to that; maybe it will never cause society to breakdown, maybe it will-- but you're acting as a tumor on society when you do break those laws.
I feel like we're not communicating. Im explaining a general principle ("breaking laws = furthering the cause of anarchy") and you're asking me about a particular law that you dont like. Change the law, or obey it, or work towards the breakdown of law and order.
The "exceptions" come when the damage caused by obeying the law is worse than the damage done to the functioning of society (ie, Jim Crow laws). Breaking said laws may still be a negative factor for society, but it is a much greater net positive. This isnt the case with marijuana laws.
Stats regarding who is / isnt Christian and what theyre like are all over the road depending on your criteria:
* Do Jehovah's Witnesses / Mormons (who deny pretty core tenets) figure into the stats?
* Is belief in the deity of God / Christ required?
* Is any particular personal conviction required, or just an upbringing by professors? etc.
I recall a poll (Gallup?) that had some 75% of responants claiming to be christian, but only something like 50% believed in the deity of Christ (pretty much required for anything resembling Christianity), and the number goes down when you ask about a personally knowable God vs a transcendent watchmaker. The word Christian may just be the most ambiguously used word in the english language; when someone tells me theyre Christian, it tells me basically nothing at all except that they dont think theyre atheist (but some actually are).
I think you'll find that most people don't consult "the law" as a benchmark for determining their behavior.
Right! And a lot of people are part of the reasons we have laws: Because they tend to work towards the breakdown of society, and we need the cudgel of law and order to restrain them.
That doesnt mean all laws are good or well written, but again, if the benchmark for what is legal is your own preference, you are a parasite on society to that same degree.
Liberty requires a functioning society and the rule of law to protect it. How bout we start with "its currently illegal, and not causing any gross injustice, so you obey the law"?
Because otherwise, its not liberty you like, but license.
Its what makes society function. Not every "outdated law" can be compared to the civil rights movement. Some bad laws you live with, because the alternative of everyone determining which laws apply to them is called anarchy, and works well for noone.
That argument would make sense, provided that they were somewhat more comprehensive about the domains they're checking. Because if you were right, there would be absolutely no liars in the FBI.
Its got nothing to do with whether you think the people in the FBI are corrupt or not, and everything to do with how security clearances work... which apparently you dont understand.
Dont lie if you want a secure position, period. You can argue it, but dont expect to get cleared.
The FBI considers downloading to be illegal despite any law making it so.
No, they consider it stealing, according to the article (which Im assuming is taking some major journalistic license). But whats relevant is that the action they take is based on whether you lie about it.
Whether they think you're a bad person for wearing white clothes after labor day isnt relevant. If they said they wouldnt hire you if you lied about wearing white after labor day, I wouldnt blame them. Theyre trusting you with a lot of power, if you have a penchant for lying you shouldnt be hired.
This may be the most hillarious demonstration of slashdotters inability to read and correctly parse article summaries, ever.
The FBI is barring you from employment for lying to them. The summary mentions downloading, incidentally. Every comment here is about how the FBI shouldnt punish you for downloading.
Somewhere between the screen and the commentors, there is a lack of comprehension.
Killing someone is already illegal, and Im of the school of thought that says having redundant laws is always a bad thing. Never have 2 laws where one will do; if killing someone through negligence is illegal, killing someone because of your cellphone doesnt need to be differently illegal.
It seems to my uninformed mind like you would have to have already processed the data to create the sum total code path that the cloud computer is to run, at which point you no longer need them to run it.
CM doesnt come with google play by default, and Google has been working to modularize (and therefore make available to CM) a huge number of its stock "pieces" (like the camera, play services, etc).
I feel like everyone in this thread has no idea what theyre talking about. What threat do you suppose CM represents to Google? You're still using Play, and if you arent, why should google care whether you use a de-Play'd AOSP or a Winphone? Mindshare is mindshare.
Google is just in a snit that CyanogenMod is fantastically better than stock android,
This is a little absurd. I use and love Cyanogenmod, but calling it "better than stock" is a gross oversimplification. Upon upgrading to the recent M11 release of CM, I just got back the ability to watch netflix on my Nexus which was broken due to a driver bug. This isnt a new thing either; CM tends to have one or two new fairly irritating bugs per release, and generally lacks the polish of google's stock android.
Not to mention that CM doesnt really add that much back into android; at the moment the biggest features are
* root (not really that important for 90% of people, and generally a nuisance as actual workplaces require you to unroot to use email). Biggest reasons I can think of for root are advanced tasker profiles (though CM Profiles generally replace tasker), TitaniumBackup, and some really really niche stuff (like CatLog, wifi tinkering stuff, etc)
* Multi-user (which is busted right now on phones)
* Profiles (which can mostly be replicated using tasker or similar programs on stock)
* a lot of display customization (a lot of which you can get using alternate launchers like Nova)
As has been pointed out root does utterly break the security model of Android by allowing for actual rootkits and persistent threats.
All that said, 3rd party roms are great, but they really arent suitable for a lot of people unless those people have a specific thing theyre looking to fix. The real value of CM is in providing access to newer ROMs than may be officially supported on their phone.
Google is more worried that CyanogenMod being a mainstream thing will affect their ability to have baked in adware out of the box
Android doesnt have baked in adware, and CM doesnt remove whatever you think constitutes said adware. If you're referring to GApps, its pretty normal to add the latest GApps to CM when you flash it. If you're referring to the Apps, what do you suppose would happen to free apps in a world where everyone was running a hosts-based adblocker?
Its not racism or sexism because it doesnt discriminate. People are equally nasty and obnoxious to all groups. Welcome to the internet, you can either let it get to you or get over it.
Slashdot Mirror
TIL history isnt valid.
So he asks for evidence, you dont provide any, and you get a +5 mod.
Good work, guys.
No, but this is slashdot and trite (and unprovable!) comments about corruption are an easy way to a +5 insightful.
Cost overruns are not a DBA or engineering issue, theyre a management issue.

2) Tell them to get a warrant

There were several hundred people, and the total cost was likely just a couple thousand.
Well, until the wedding planning team mentioned to the BBQ shop that it was for a wedding, and pork / beef suddenly became scarce resources.

When you break the law you incur real costs to society. Either get the law fixed or join another society.

He meant a REPUTABLE citation, preferably by someone with a 4-digit or less UID. Not some "9th circuit" armchair judge.

The only problem is that there is no federal law against downloading
And downloading isnt why they bar you. Lying is.
I would have thought this was obvious. You want a security related job with the gov't? Dont lie to them.
Killing someone is already illegal, and Im of the school of thought that says having redundant laws is always a bad thing. Never have 2 laws where one will do; if killing someone through negligence is illegal, killing someone because of your cellphone doesnt need to be differently illegal.
My mistake. M10 fixed the issue. M8 and M9 broke netflix on my Nexus 5 due to a "green flicker" bug.
