depends. In a potential collision situation, no he wouldn't/shouldn't be able to, since it needs to be able to apply the emergency brakes (handy if the driver just had a heart attack and can't reach the controls!). In a "safe" overspeed situation it would sound a very loud alarm which the driver would have to deal with and correct the situation, otherwise after a set delay the brakes would engage.
(for values of "safe" consider the following: switchpoint status, track curvature, speed limits, overspeed margin, leading and following trains - when trains stop in the middle of nowhere they're waiting for the train in front to pull ahead or off the line. Said train could be three miles in front).
Qadhaffi funded irrigation of the whole of North Africa down to the Equator. A large portion of that irrigation was already in place by the time he was murdered by capitalists bent on denying he and his people the wealth they had guaranteed for themselves - in addition, Libya was a net exporter of all basic commodities, including water, oil, sugar, rice, coffee and corn. Now the population of Libya are seeing abject poverty and disease in 99% of their population, with the top 1% made up primarily of foreign workers attached to oil interests and corporate agencies, including but not limited to the American military industrial complex. The water infrastructure installed by Qadhaffi's "regime" has been either destroyed or retasked for diverting oil.
So tell me, how was the murder of Qadhaffi in the best interests of any but oil shareholders? That's blood money now. I hope you choke.
Water ice is 7/8 the density of liquid water. Even at depth, this remains true. Therefore, if all the Arctic ice, which sits on an ocean, were to melt, then that 1/8 difference would be absorbed by the 7/8 if the ice that sits below sea level and global sea levels would actually *FALL* by 7/8 of the total original amount of Arctic sea ice divided by the surface area of the oceans. Shot in the dark number: -7 feet.
For various reasons, including device security, if you create an image of an encrypted volume you change its hash value - rendering the data completely useless even if you had the correct key. Even if you then copied the data back to the original drive - the hash would change again. When you encrypt a volume you have to do it in situ if you want to ever stand a chance of recovering it.
Unfortunately, AC, GP is completely correct in his assertion. At which point the prosecution doesn't even have to prove that you believed at any point that the information in question was likely to have been needed for evidence. Automatic guilty judgment, and you're going in for contempt of court, perverting the course of justice, destruction/tampering with evidence... you want fucked up legal system? Come to Britain!
1/ divulging a passphrase 2/ handing over decrypted data.
Now, divulging a passphrase isn't self incriminatory, as all it is is a key to a safe; therefore, I would say that a judge can legitimately order its surrender. If the response is "I cannot remember", well tough tits - unless it can be proved that at material times the passphrase was known and could have been recalled, in which case all the judge has on the defendant is contempt of court.
Handing over of decrypted data would be protected by the 5th amendment since it is entirely possible that no matter the nature or content it could be used by a prosecutor to incriminate the defendant.
copyright infringement is a civil wrong, which is why the long list of criminal charges (including racketeering and theft). Anyone who sees jail as a result of a civil suit should appeal - custodial penalties should only apply in criminal cases!
One of the indictments is that of racketeering. I don't know quite how it works in the US, but in the UK that's one charge (the other's terrorism) that can and does result in trial without jury, presided over by a single judge.
This so-called compensation fund doesn't even figure as pocket change to News Corp. Murdoch is a multi billionnaire ($7.6bn at FYE 2011 according to Forbes). That's his/cash/ worth, not counting his liquable assets. If he gave a Dollar out of his own pocket to every man, woman and child on Earth he would STILL BE A BILLIONNAIRE.
This is in the same league as Microsoft "complying" with compensation orders from the courts in the US by issuing *vouchers for discounts on its own software*.
The consumer is still getting bent over and dryfucked, but legally.
...Could I utilise this programming method to say, encode video streams to a common format, in an efficient (ie fully utilising available GPU/CPU cores) manner? Because right now I have a compute cluster comprising a pair of dual core laptops, one of which has an AMD Radeon HD GPU on-die, the other an Intel chipset GPU (but that's not really important), two P4 desktop machines with NVidia GF7 GPUs and a Sempron box with AMD Radeon HD pci-express. Altogether, that's 7 processor cores and 4 (possibly usable but at the moment/aren't/) GPU dies. I regularly saturate the CPUs with the encoding I'm doing, is there an established method/library/whatever (I'm not a programmer!) of adding the GPUs to a compute cluster using for example, a Linux CD slipstreamed with a bit of custom software, over a Gigabit LAN?
I think Wikipedia had the right idea, to deprive (albeit temporarily) the monolinguistic English speaking world of the somewhat essential resource that is en.wikipedia.org for a day - when you control the switch like that and have the agreement of 99.9% of the editors, you can do anything. That it was for a day just to raise awareness: bravo, Sir, I think it certainly accomplished that. What's needed now, if this legislation goes through (which it likely will notwithstanding the public opposition), is the promise of permanence for ALL versions of Wikipedia - because it will not be able to function in the new, US-controlled Internet. An undernet/darknet/sidenet is what's needed (and probably a decent name for it as well), something that's more decentralised than the current environment if only to make it more resilient, and something that is run by the people for the people; corporate and geopolitical interests can jog on.
That's not the one where the prison claimed money from the State for kids it claimed were inmates there but were actually buried in the woods out back, is it?

...Or the promise of violent abuse of your kids by agents of the State?
Oh, yeah. Been there.
They did the worst thing possible to me when they attacked my family. There is fuck all else they can do to coerce me into anything.
They can try, but they'd be wasting their time. I've got nothing but time. That's all they've left me.
well then you should be paying attention, because I write from experience ;)

I did.

Wouldn't work.

so remind us all how PATRIOT got passed??
destruction of a key is not destruction of evidence. The evidence is still intact - just encrypted.
except... don't use any of those. They're published, hence predictable.
There are two different things here:
1/ divulging a passphrase
2/ handing over decrypted data.
Now, divulging a passphrase isn't self incriminatory, as all it is is a key to a safe; therefore, I would say that a judge can legitimately order its surrender.

What the fuck can they do?? Coercion and torture and denial of liberty isn't going to miraculously spawn useful recall.

More likely the DoJ has petitioned the court to dismiss it, which was done since MU's accounts are frozen (therefore they can't pay their lawyers).

Am I being blonde, or is this already done??
That's probably because the CoS can have you killed if you try.
Mod parent up.
if you're confident in the ability of your legal team, the Constitution of the United States.
Habeas corpus is abrogated in time of war.
The US is at war. War on drugs, War on Terror. Pick your poison.
Have a look around the DoJ site, particularly in the section on recent judgments. See how many Habeas corpus cases actually succeeded.
Tell you what, I'll save you the trouble: none.
