You had your own concentration camps for the Japanese and McCarthyism showed that even as a white middle class male, your freedoms were severely limited.
That, at least, is a bit of exaggeration. We certainly did intern Japanese, and it certainly isnt one of our finer moments, but dont think for a moment you can compare it with nazi concentration camps. Im pretty sure we werent starving and working Japanese to death and gassing the rest of them. I havent been able to find anything to indicate that it was anything like your classic European ghetto.
Or possibly the economy is a good deal more complicated than an airplane wing?
I mean, youd think if we could repair the ruptured line in the economy for $25 million we would have done it by now, but maybe noones thought of it yet.
No, they dont have a "right to their data", theyre hosting their data on a service that is now under investigation. If your dry cleaners got raided for human trafficking, I think you might find that your laundry would be unavailable for quite some time while the case got resolved.
Oh good grief, Slashdot comments have reached a new low.
Can you show me a single, solitary instance of where badmouthing the president has been treated as a criminal (or civil) offense, in the last 50 years? If not kindly keep your hyperbole to yourself.
Ditto with "supporting the occupy movement", which I will note was given free reign to trespass on private property for well over a month before everyone decided it was time they complied with the same laws the Tea Party had to.
Seriously, this silly karma whoring is getting irritating.
Says who? Oh, you mean we oppose heavy-handed legislation on outsourcing?
huge CEO salaries,
Says who? Oh, you mean we oppose legislation on how a private company can spend its own money? Yea, I do oppose that.
tax breaks for corporations
I dont think all conservatives would agree with this. You would have to spell out more clearly your proposal before I could make a judgement call; certainly some tax breaks I might support and others I would oppose.
eminent domain
Wait, what???? Where did you hear THAT?
corporate personhood
Again, over generalizing. I dont think being a conservative means you must support corporate personhood, and thats pretty vague language.
not just removal of regulations.
The first several things you listed were directly related to removal or implementation of regulation and legislation.
BTW they are already doing this in Russia. Any website that dares to challenge Putin or his party are accused of "using copyright-infringing software" and their computers immediately seized. The end.
Does every post that starts out insightful have to end with stupid hyperbole? That may be happening in Russia, im pretty sure its not happening in most of the EU or US (which you implied with the "already doing this").
WHich raises the question, why do conservatives (read: folks who want a smaller government) get so much flak on slashdot?
I mean, i know the meme is "conservatives are in bed with the corps", but that reputation is only there because we oppose reams of regulation. Personally, I feel like you have to keep a balance between the two, and I feel like the balance is currently shifted to the "too much government" end of the spectrum.
So next time you jump on a republican's case for being a corporate shill or whatever for refusing some legislation or other, just remember-- youre approving of the ideology that creates these repressive governments you all love to hate.
RDP requires port forwarding, which requires access to the firewall, which is not always available; it also will not work if your ISP NATs you. Ditto with VNC, unless you use a repeater or know for sure what ip you will be connecting from (so you can do a reverse VNC). WebEx is not free.
There ARE good, free alternatives-- TeamViewer, ShowMyPC, hamachi+rdp, LogMeIn, CrossLoop, etc.
The researchers continued, "If the Active Directory credentials were used as part of an DoD Exchange tie in, the attackers could get access to incriminating government official emails. If they got access to incriminating DoD emails, they could extort nuclear launch codes out of the officials. If they extorted launch codes out of the officials, they could start a nuclear holocaust."
The researchers concluded, "and that is why you never give a mouse a cookie."
That might have made a difference. My experience has always been in a business setting, and ominous music would always start playing when i started trying to do actual work on it.
Its also possible that im just not cool enough for Macs.
But, the fact that the company is turning away people who are officially required to investigate the mess unless they have a search warrant suggests that they probably knew all along.
Not necessarily. If a cop shows up at your house and asks to take a peek around for kicks and giggles, are you likely to let him in?
If the same happened at your office, do you suppose your company would let them in, or politely decline?
Which indicates that between 250-3000mSv can cause varying symptoms (bone marrow damage, loss of appetite, etc_, with recovery likely even up to 3000mSv. One part of the article claims that only 7 workers received doses over 100mSv. Another part claims that 3 workers received over 180mSv, and that 2 of those went to the hospital.
So in all, we're talking about maybe two of the workers who received slightly worrying doses that may cause slight, recoverable damage to their body. In contrast with hundreds of thousands of displaced and dead japanese from the tsunami. In all honesty, if you ask where Id rather be on the day of the tsunami, on the coast or at fukushima, I think id take my chances of a slight stomach ache at Fukushima.
What are you looking for in a UI? There are many options-- menu-driven (where gnome2 really is fantastic, auto-organizing stuff), KDE (not a big fan, seems powerful), Gnome-3/unity (which i can start to see the appeal of if they can polish it some more), and scores of other DE / WMs.
TBQH, ive always preferred Gnome2 over OSX, but that may be because im more used to Gnome2. OSX always makes me feel lost, and inefficient, and stupid.
Email address could be stored in a cookie upon login. The site would indeed be unable to send you unsolicited email, but would be able to email you upon login or password reset.
No, they would not. This is simple. They store only the email hash. Your account id is tied to that hash. Upon login, you are required to provide your email address and password; the email is used to try to decrypt the password, and is then hashed and compared to their stored hash. If the provided password matches the decrypted password, and the hashed email matches the stored hash, you get logged in.
For password recovery, all you provide is the email, which is again used to perform a hash lookup, and is used to decrypt the corresponding password, which is then mailed to you.
I believe that this is the most secure way to store a password if being able to recover it is required, since only a bruteforce or the account owner would be able to recover it.
That is probably true in this case, but is not necessarily true in all cases. Imagine, for example, that the password is encrypted with the email address as its key, and the email address is hashed. Upon login, a hash lookup is done for the email address, and the encrypted password is decrypted and compared to the one sent. Or alternatively, the password is stored both encrypted as mentioned, and hashed, so that logins are done by 2 hash checks.
Either scenario would allow the user to retrieve the password without the host or an attacker being able to see what the associated email or password is.
any more than the telephone company can be sued under anti-telemarketing laws even though they very well know some users are violating them.
If they profit from it and subtly encourage it for the sake of profit, absolutely they can.
In fact if I recall that was the huge point of contention in the many Youtube cases: did youtube get its start by encouraging illegal content or not? Youtubes intentions were very relevant to the case.
Society does and always will reject cowardice from people in a position of responsibility for others lives, especially when that cowardice further threatens others lives (the captain's abandonment fueled panic).
And his job required him to stay on the boat for a number of reasons, and Im sure there are laws requiring him to obey a command from the coast guard.

Depends who the contractor is. I dont think Lockheed or General Dynamics, for example, would fold up and declare bankruptcy over $244 million.

When you say "built into the OS", isnt Siri a service offered by a third party company?

Except that calling chromium a chrome spinoff would be like calling your engine a car spinoff. Chrome IS chromium, it just has some bits tacked on.
Listen, they can go though the immigration process like everyone else ;)

Way to change the subject. The case isnt about what UMG, North Korea, or Pol Pot has done, but about what the ninjavideos folks did.

Just because you can get it emailed to you does not mean that it is stored plaintext.

To be fair to him, the situation was dire. According to a recorded conversation he had with the coast guard, "it was dark!".
