So you drive down the street and your home gets a letter saying you were driving down a street with prostitutes.
So... why don't they just close the street?
My content sent over VPNs is original work encrypted to protect it against those not authorized to have a copy. It is thus covered by copyright law. The NSA is circumventing encryption to obtain illegal access to copyright work.
There have been BIOS destroying viruses before.
Now the NSA is in the antivirus business? And by doing so, they save the U.S. economy?
Even Norton and McAfee don't make this claim.
It's a 3 ton low speed aircraft crashing into an armored cruiser by definition designed to be shot at with things like shells and missiles and bombs and torpedoes. Surpising.
His contract said he could release the passwords to one person. Other people in the organization demanded the passwords after he left. He refused and they arrested him. When the one person to whom his contract allowed him to release his passwords asked, he gave it to him.
For this, he was sent to prison.
No. This is not a matter of copyright.
Copyright is the right to copy. The former client owns the right to copy. This is about plagiarism. When you sell your book to a publisher you generally sell the copyright. You do not sell the right to have your name replaced on the cover.
DMCA is Digital Milllenium Copyright Act. Not watching ads is not a violation of copyright. Downloading the material is not a violation of copyright because it is on a public server and actually set up for downloads. Whether it is a terms of service violation is something else, but NOT a DMCA question.
If you have too many different username/passwords you will not be able to keep them straight. This is what OpenID was supposed to solve. One can flip the argument around very easily: if there were fewer sites maintaining their own password databases, then there would be fewer breaches.
And that does NOT mean using OpenID for everything including financial accounts.
An email account isn't like a passport or other official document. It can be created, or deleted, on a whim. What kind of "security" do they think this will bring?
Yes it is a crazy idea. Laser safety glasses are wavelength specific. Protection for green lasers won't work on blue, or red. The helicopter pilot was responding to a call, so he knew ahead of time what color to protect against.
I don't think it's punishment fetish as much as punishment hypocrisy.
We get punishments totally out of whack, but only for crimes that are not that common. This guy should be punished, but compare a sentence (30 months) with what drunk drivers get. Or compare it to the sentences that drunk drivers get who actually kill people....
Jack Thompson wants an external agency which usually ends up with its own agenda (i.e. the government) to censor video games. The dev team is saying they want their work to be distributed to certain people.
If you can't understand the difference, you are as bad as Thompson is.
I remember a story from a few years back when a guy from Intel went to work for AMD but downloaded tons of secret documents before leaving Intel. He was arrested on criminal charges, if I remember correctly. So why only a lawsuit here?

I really liked Google+. It was a great place if you wanted to share your hobby work. Trying to move on to MeWe now.
I am shocked that a paper got published in Nature with faulty uncertainty analysis.

I haven't read their constitution.

Remember the NSA has worked to HARDEN linux, and even contributed the SElinux system.
A bunch of guys shooting up in the air in an uncontrolled manner.
There's probably a 3rd party program for Apple that does the same thing.
PrefBar will let you turn JS on and off in a way that is very easily accessible.

Right... because web browsers run on rocks, not computers. Seriously..... why did this get modded insightful?

Something can be basic and polished. This doesn't look unpolished.

Not likely. ICBM's travel at insane speeds in terminal phase (The minuteman moves at Mach 23.
Bush did this. Now Obama is doing it. The simple fact is that there wasn't money for it in Bush's administration, and there isn't money for it now.
Right, because trademarking Linux was a terrible idea. Moron.
