Technically you have free speech the same way that the UK has free speech. There is no "constitutional right", but there are several articles in different legislations which protect speech, and numerous examples in case law.
Mate, you are living in pre-9/11 vulnerability. They're groping old ladies and children at checkpoints and testing the air-side beverages you buy for explosives and poisons. Do you think either of these things helps stop plane hijacking? I ask because it does nothing to stop an attack in a city centre, or a bus terminal, or a train station.
I used to think it was a gross invasion of privacy and an unnecessary indignity. Now I think it's either outright insanity or malicious intent. Unfortunately this "security theatre" as everyone here calls it gotten so far out of hand that I don't think the distinction can be made any more. I choose to take my holidays in Scotland or Wales now, or maybe on the south coast; Flying anywhere is just too much hassle, and so undignified.
They're called quotation marks. They're quoting the researchers saying that this is a "weakness" in the security of chip and pin cards, in that the researchers used the word "weakness" to describe the vulnerability.
I should clarify. I don't follow the news and then rely on it as my sole source of information about the world. I follow the news, then do a little digging around stories of interest using search engines and social media to find sources, and then see what they have actually said in context. Often you come across other news pieces which are of interest to you from the same source, and you find a new avenue of information relevant to your interests.
You can follow mainstream media and not be suckered into believing it. You just have to do a little legwork yourself.
Actually, I have fully stopped following news. I don't notice any difference. The only news I get are from slashdot. I still don't feel like I'm missing anything.

Hmmm... South Korea has better consumer protections than the US. umadbro?
I find the opposite is true. I have a Kindle Touch, and the only books I have advertised to me are the very same books I have bought. I also recently purchased a flash drive, as you did, and guess what! Amazon advertises to me more flash drives! I already have a USB flash drive! By all means advertise something to me which I might have an interest, but not the very same item I have just purchased from you. I already have one of those, dufus.
I own a Kindle Touch. You tap the screen to navigate pages; The left-most 1/5 of the screen is for back a page, the rest is forward a page. You can easily hook the right hand side of the screen with the base of your thumb, and use the tip to skip pages, or with a decent case you just rest it on your knee and tap when you want. Pressing near the top brings up the menu. Swipe up or down to navigate through chapters.
I've not used a non-touch Kindle, but I can't imagine it being any easier than the Kindle Touch. I would like a little more consistency from the screen; Sometimes it takes a couple of taps to register, sometimes it will skip a page if I stare at it hard enough, but it's so easy to move back again it's hardly an issue.
Even if you're not happy running an exit node, you can help speed up the Tor network by running a relay. All traffic through a relay is encrypted and kept within the Tor network, so you remain unidentifiable. It also helps obscure when you yourself are using Tor.
I run a Tor relay and an I2P node 24/7. Both can be configured to only use a certain amount of bandwidth over a certain amount of time, for those on metered connections.
As for unverifiability: apparently some of those UDIDs have already been verified.
False conclusion. The fact that some UDIDs are valid does not verify they were taken from an FBI laptop.
Some genuine UDIDs which were already known could have been included in a group of numbers which match the form of the others (I'll make you a script to generate them in a couple of minutes, if you like), but are in fact fakes, meaning only Apple could tell the two apart. As a lot of Anon's "work" is "for the lulz", I wouldn't put it past them to do something like that. Scruples are one thing they're lacking.
Exactly! My immediate first thought was, quite literately, "HAHAHA some suckers are still buying games from Ubi!"
Seriously, guys; You get what you pay for. Always online DRM for single player games, locking to a publisher account to eliminate First Sale possibilities... Why would you do this to yourselves? It's digital masochism.
My parents had a long garden as a kid. My brother and I used to put a ring the other end of the garden and tried to get the lawd dart into the hoop. As we got better at it, the hoops either got smaller, or were nested for points brackets.
Oddly enough, we never thought of throwing them towards each other. That seemed... Dangerous.
Stephanie Thompson is totally, utterly, and irrefutably responsible for the harm that came to her child. Look on the Buckyballs product page and you can see that the warning label printed on the lower right of the page is identical to the one on the left side of the product packaging.
Stephanie Thompson, you gave your child a dangerous item, not intended for use by children, and they were harmed. This is your fault. You are a bad parent.

Wouldn't being a semantics nazi make you an anti-semantic?
I know I am. Their anti-virus solution sucks!

the NYSE should have one forced upon it by the appropriate regulatory authority, with hefty financial penalties for gaming or bypassing the system.
You think these people will take regulation or profit-limiting by choice? Don't make me laugh.
I propose we change the Slashdot logo for one day in October into all capitals and white-on-red, just like all of the other tabloids.

You are. Do you know how I know that?

Rights are never given; You have them by default. Rights can only ever be restricted, or taken away entirely.

I love it, but YMMV as always.

You should be modded "Insightful". This is pretty much how World+Dog thinks.

You might be surprised to find that ordinary citizens can and do own explosives too.

Why aren't you demanding this change?
