This is exactly the case. You'll struggle to find a car on the road on which the torque of the engine exceeds the peak force of the brake. Yeah, this can lead to a skid, but fundamentally the wheels have stopped rotating, and that's what brakes do.
Don't forget "Trial by Media" and find the words "insufficient evidence" instead of "not guilty" next to your name, and the most unflattering photograph of you that exists, in every newspaper, rendering you utterly unemployable.
Not saying I think it should happen, just that it will.
Steam Box = SteamOS / Linux + Steam on my current gaming PC instead of Windows. It's all we keep it for.
It's Windows dropping as the dominant platform on the consumer desktop. Once grandma's nerdy grandson gets Linux on his PC instead of Windows, that's what he'll be giving to grandma instead of fixing her aging windows box. That is what will drive MS into the annals of history.
How would the veto work if the UN voted out the USA?
"I veto your voting us out!" "You can't do that, you've been voted out so you therefore have no veto." "But the vote is vetoed, so we weren't voted out!" "..." "..."
That's a little disingenuous. Running AV will help prevent infection as long as it makes use of on-access scanning and heuristics against zero-day attacks. Passive / Offline scanning is no good for prevention, but active prevention is, and all modern (Windows) antivirus software features on-access scanning, as well as on-mount removable media scanning and automatic scanning of downloads.
A better analogy is like saying getting the MMR vaccine won't help you when you already have rubella, but it might stop you getting it in the future.
Has precedent been set in a criminal case? If not, implications are moot. Plus, where does "the internet" stop? Does "the internet" stop at the consumer-oriented WWW? Or does it include badly implemented security as well? Open SMTP server in your DMZ; Is that fair game? Where is "the line"?
We have no way of knowing, for certain, that this is indeed how you feel. We therefore segregate you from society, and in fact other criminals for your own protection due to the nature of your crime, and observe your behaviour. You are assessed by qualified professionals in a controlled environment until they are sure, beyond reasonable doubt, that you are indeed rehabilitated and unlikely to re-offend.
The server provided information at his request, and only after many hundreds of thousands of unsuccessful attempts. Yes this data was erroneously accessible by unauthorised users, and that is a problem AT&T should be punished for. That doesn't detract from the fact that he was not authorised to access the information, and it's the accessing of that information for which he has been convicted. In the UK the Computer Misuse Act is quite clear on that; Unauthorised access is the crime. I'm almost certain your law is similarly worded.
A tablet with a keyboard is a "laptop", or more accurately a netbook. The addition of the peripheral device changes the form factor; A tablet is purely touch oriented; That's what differentiates it from other small computing devices. Yes, you can add a keyboard, mouse, and an external monitor over an HMDI link, but why would you? That's a laptop by any other name!
Is charging once a night a problem? I'm over my all-night clubbing days; I rarely spend more than 24 hours away from an electrical socket. If I do, it's typically by choice (Camping / rambling holiday, for example) and I've every intention of staying incommunicado for the entire trip. That's half of the point of doing it.
I have USB ports, and therefore charging of my various devices, next to my bedside (Wall wart), my home PC, work PC, the stereo on the kitchen, the back of my home router, my TV, even my car radio has USB input and therefore power. Charging devices is just not an issue anymore, wherever I am.
Yes, the screen images are "simulated", but what of it? Have you seen mobile phone screens of the past 18 months? You couldn't pick out individual pixels without a jewelers' loupe. There's no reason to believe that the screen wouldn't be as good quality as the "simulation" suggests.
But you have a great point that there's not really a huge distinction between them, which is why for lots of consumers tablets are slowly replacing laptops.
Right tool for the job, guys. A tablet is a consumption device, not a creation device. I wouldn't dare try replacing my mate's laptop as his coding machine with a tablet, and you can pry the keyboard and mouse interface on my gaming machine from my cold, dead, claw-like hands.
Just like I can't pay for online access to HBO shows without paying for cable first (ie. HBO Go).
I bet that's because of the cable companies.
"Oh you want to offer your shows online? That's fine! Yes, that's fine... Oh, what's this? The renewal contract for your cable channel! Huh, look at that... It seems to be moving closer to the shredder... It looks like it's getting really very close... Quick, do something to stop it! No no... You sit where you are... You just sit right there, and make it stop moving towards the shredder... You have that power. Sorry, what was that? A little louder, please... I can't hear you over the sound of the shredder motors... 'Only offering streaming to cable subscribers'? Well now, there's a thought... I think that might just... Oh look! The contract is moving back onto the table..." *Rubbing intensifies.*
My Raspberry Pi runs as a permanently connected Tor relay. I'm not brave (stupid?) enough to run an exit node, but at least I improve the resillience and throughput of the network.
Plenty of games come with Origin, GfWL etc requirements. I'd be much more happy if Valve refused to sell games through Steam which required 3rd party DRM. I'd be doubly happy, now they have the lions share of online games distribution, that they boot off all of those titles. Battlefield is dead, CoD is boring, and they're raking it in with indie title distribution anyway.
Faraday Cage in a Faraday Cage, take the phone inside both, hook up the in internal cage to $SensitiveEquipment and look for induced current from the radio still being operational?
IANAScientist, but it seems reasonable enough to me.

Vegimite, mate. Aussies are mad for Vegimite.
Didn't see a single jar of Marmite the whole time I was there.

Big in the pants, not in the skull, eh?
Have you looked at Pale Moon? Firefox without the cruft, and a sensible UI. Based upon Firefox ESR, actively maintained.

I would argue that their not "killing a guard or such" is the demonstration of reformed behaviour that I was describing.
This is the most insightful comment on this thread. It's amazing how a change of perspective can alter your opinions.
I realise I've added nothing with this comment; I just thought it deserves a lot of attention.

We call that "AFK", and I hear it doesn't have Netflix. It sounds like a desolate wasteland to me.

Money equals power. Power corrupts.

Ghostery collects and sells data from the plugin. Disconnect is equally functional, without the data collection.
