How about "Boycott Aaron's until they stop including spying software in their rental laptops".
Don't give me "Some people can't afford to boycott them" as there will be other companies who don't do this, and if not there's a business opportunity for someone.
From the article: Payout was $125,000 out of court settlement for falsely sending DMCA takedown notices over emails published regarding Diebold eVoting machines.
Something tells me the lawyers involved cost more.
but the moment you give random assholes the ability to ruin my career and get me locked up for trying to do my job to the best of my ability is the moment I find something less dangerous to do.
Nothing to Hide, Nothing to Fear. If you're so scared of being filmed "just doing your job" then the manner in which you "do your job" must be questionable. Perhaps you should change career anyway.
Rebooting in this instance (and all instances, AFAIK) means to power off and back on. This is not a destructive process (wiping, flashing, recovering etc). The temporary jailbreak for 4.3.4 does not persist through the phone being powered off and back on.
I may have misused the term "root", as I use an Android phone (rooted, obviously:) ). "Jailbreaking" iOS may not be the same as permaroot, hence not being called "rooting", and if that's the case it's my fault for using the improper term.
BT flashed the FON firmware into some of their consumer-end routers, so all you'd need is a sub to FON to use it.
To the parent; I didn't know they would ask for CC info over an unsecured communication, especially knowing that there was no security at L2/3. BIG no no. If my router (installed today) comes with FON service, i'll be turning it off as a service to my fellow man.
This jailbreak requires you to have your phone connected to your computer at every reboot in order to root it, and root is lost if phone is rebooted without connecting to the computer.
The PDF font handling vulnerability gave you perma-root (unthethered) and could also be used as a drive-by exploit.
Mirabilis released ICQ Groupwise way before AOL bought them out. Fully administered LAN-based ICQ server-client, separate from the central servers controlled by Mirabilis. I set it up as a collaboration solution over inter-office email almost a decade ago, way before Jabber.
My lawn is still fairly young, but you should get off it none the less.
There's a service called FON which has caught on with BT; Subscribe with FON, run a second open wireless network and share your broadband connection, authenticate to a FON account over VPN and share wireless all over the world where there is a FON wireless network.
More common in residential areas where there are no companies to be tied in with other subscribers.
There are innocuous looking t-shirts with woven patches of metal filaments being sold on the internet, with words like "PERVERT" spelled out so only the backscatter x-ray / mm wave machines can see them. There are also undergarments with patches in the crotch, to keep them hidden from the scans. Wearing one through a scanner is a sure way to be detained until just after your flight has departed, but it's civil disobedience without the danger you're suggesting.
A take on this suggestion would be to bring a suitcase full of Y-fronts with the "privacy weave" in crotch, and red letters "Respect my privacy" across the rear, and they be put on by every passenger in the line (over their clothes) as they approach the security gate.
A couple of YouTube vids later, and I guarantee it goes viral.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if there was a $Deity, and at the end of days s/he turns to humanity and says "Hey, uh... Yeah. You killed each other over which version of me was the best. At least three of the major ones recognised I take many forms, so you could all be right. You missed that, and went for slaughter. That wasn't my doing. Therefore, you're all going down and I'm starting again with the bees."
The Daily Mail is what Fox would be if it was in print form. Don't rely on it for anything but far-right spin and propaganda, or conspiracies about Princess Diana's death.
The Experiment is the 2010 remake, I would guess. Dramatised (participant dies, violent revolt as prisoners escape hangar-like building), but still a reasonable film.
Getting air-side in an airport entails considerably more checks than passengers are subjected to.
I've done contracting work air-side (exterior of a terminal building), and every bag, box, and person was manually inspected by security. They can't do that for every single passenger, but there's significantly less air-side crew per aircraft.
The difference here is the intent. You ascribe the sexual intent to the TSA agent because of your past experience, not because the current situation is overtly sexual in nature.
(FWIW, I agree with you, I just offer contrary opinion for the sake of discussion).
Which validates quite well my point about the Sex Offenders register being used improperly in this instance, as well as others. If we are to have a list of people who are known to be a threat to children, surely we need it to be accurate.
I'd like to know if you think that watching a violent movie is an indication of condoning violence, as your (and the law's) suggestion of posession of CP is analogous.
Remember; Check my sig. Don't want anyone thinking this is anything but academic in nature.
I don't recall reading anything about a prior incident involving a child. There was mention of stealing financial information from a former neighbour, but that's it.
Please quote, if you know more. I'm always interested in forming my opinions (or not; see sig) on new and more accurate information.
You know how I know you didn't read the linked PDF document regarding the sentencing, which would absolutely have stated that he was convicted of an offence for kissing that kid, instead of mentioning that it was only reported.
I can see I'm going to have to explain the word "allegedly" to a lot of Slashdotters today.
Read the PDF document linked in the stub. There's no mention of a conviction. It'd be classed as "soft evidence" on any Enhanced CRB check in the UK (which is essentially another word for hearsay).
By the way, you should consider what I say in my sig when I comment on subjects like this.

In short, misleading title is misleading.

Didn't they already have MineVille in Chile a few months back?
Too soon?
Yeah. -1 kdawson.

OK, substitute "violent movie" for watching a video of a street fight posted on YouTube, or a car chase on Worlds' Funniest Cop Chases.
Regarding the sig; Good point, but not necessarily an issue. I very rarely respond to ACs anyway.
What letter is this? All I recall reading about is that an incident where Ardolf kissed the neighbours' kid was reported to the police. No conviction.
If there's other evidence for him being a risk to minors, you'd think it'd be in the stub as "convicted paedophile Ardolf..."
Yes, but you're not sent to rehab and labelled a drug addict.
