They can't even do that. They can revoke permanent residence for that, but not citizenship. For citizenship, only things like treason will get you -- even lying on the application is not sufficient grounds any longer.
Some companies do not consider you to have done due diligence if you do not lock up. That is why I always lock the doors of rental cars, even though I don't lock my car's doors. I would also check your homeowners insurance policy for door locking.
Yes and No. If I want to have a program that I pass SQL queries to and it returns either safe or unsafe that is not a computable problem. There is no way to tell if a query is good or bad without context. That being said there are things like prepared statements that give the statements context, that is explicitly stating which parts of the query are control statements and which are data.
In a simple system you are correct but in a system of even moderate complexity telling if code is vulnerable to SQL injection becomes non-trivial. When you have to dig through 5 levels of inheritance several times to hunt down all the places where the query is actually formed it's not all that simple.
Perl taint mode. Sure, it it conservative, but if taint is complex enough that it does work, then I wouldn't trust a person to get it right with 100% accuracy.
They detained him without cause. He had done nothing wrong.
These are not necessarily coextensive. Just because you have done nothing wrong does not mean that any detainment is without cause. If I have a bloody knife and am standing next to a guy that has just been murdered, then there is cause to detain me, even if I have done nothing wrong. One method that some criminals use to avoid detection is the removal of fingerprints. To lack fingerprints could be considered cause.
Having said that, I wish to note that I am not commenting on whether what happened was appropriate or not, as I do not feel that there was enough information given in TFA.
It's similar to the situation with breathalyzers where if the machine beeps or not can be the difference between you going to jail or driving home. Our judges have been replaced by robotic imposters, and I imagine it will get worse in the future.
Except with breath analyzers you do not have to take it, and can request a real test at the station, before they can decide to jail you.
When I was a kid, in the mid 80's we got a stereo cabinet containing a stereo and turntable which looked 5-10 years old. We still have it, and it works, though it is not in active use. So, thirty years?
A used IIci was my first computer. However, I later picked up an SE (circa 1987) which will run all the old games, like Lode Runner and Dark Castle, that we had from our 512KE (now a fishtank). And those games require system 6 (7 causes crashes). Do you know how fast a computer running system 6 on a hard drive boots? How about under 10 seconds?
Well if the states had any guts they would tell the Federal government to go to hell. The constitution says the Fed has only those rights granted it by the states not the other way around. I hope somewhere soon some states actually has the guts to kick Uncle Sam in the ass and tell him to get the hell out of our business
* Appointed indirectly by an elected body? Sort of like the electoral college? That puts the US in a very interesting light.
Actually, it is closer to how the senators used to be elected*, and that got changed due to the rampant corruption and partisanship.
* In case someone doesn't know, the legislatures of the states used to elect senators, not the general public, since the Senate was supposed to represent states, as opposed to the HoR, which represented the people.
You can't double send without acknowledgment for each send. This is because you can not know if the receiving end received both packets, since packets get arbitrarily dropped during intermediate hops.
Real estate law in the English-speaking world is one of the last bits of feudalism. This means that you do not really own the land, as you say. Instead, people own land in the US as Fee Simple. Only the government has Allodial title, which means that you really own the land, and it can not be taken from you. However, if you live in a county where the laws are different, then you can really own the land. Read the articles, they are fascinating.
And while you're attacking the phone company for not budging on the phone deactivation for a mear $20, bear in mind that neither the police nor the family was apparently willing to cough up the $20 to have the account unlocked.
Next time, RTFS:
After an 11-hour search (during which time the sheriff's department was trying to figure out how to pay the bill)....
The police WERE "willing to cough up the $20 to have the account unlocked."
It allows additional restrictions on secondary sections, like front covers, back covers, and invariant texts, which CC-BY-SA does not allow for. This is intended to make the license more attractive to those who publish books with free content but want control over the surrounding material. For those people who produce GFDL material with no secondary sections, there really is no significant reason to not go with CC-BY-SA.
The interesting part here is that more details have been released about what the flaw actually was. Before, it was merely "there is a flaw, and we have notified vendors", but now more details are available. In particular, that while 5.2 has countermeasures, it is a flaw in the protocol itself, and not the implementation. "Countermeasure" does not equal "completely solved".
They are filing a civil case against a state's attorney general (which will make it a federal hearing) - alleging what?
Alleging that they are not doing anything wrong. A declaratory judgment only states what is and is not legal/required in a particular case. So, Craigslist wants the court to state that what they are doing is legal. A restraining order prevents someone from doing something. Here, Craigslist wants the court to tell the AG to stop threatening criminal proceedings. Basically, Craigslist wants the court to say to the AG, "They're right, you're wrong, stop harassing them."

They don't stop you from leaving, they just want to notice you on the way out. Then you are in the database for the future.

Citizens are not subject to fingerprinting (correction in the article).
Correction in the article: this does not apply to citizens.

That didn't work last time.

I had heard it said more than one way, and never attributed to anyone. I learn something new every day. Thanks.
Current HSPA download speeds can theoretically reach 3.6 MBit/sec,
There is no difference between theory and practice in theory, but there is in practice.

5.1 does not have the countermeasures. 5.2 does. Upgrade.
Though, while the leaked information is significant, the chance at getting it in tiny, so the risk is small.
The interesting part here is that more details have been released about what the flaw actually was. Before, it was merely "there is a flaw, and we have notified vendors", but now more details are available.
