It is possible to see this in a positive light - even people involved in the day-to-day implementation of authoritarianism are capable of understanding violations of privacy when they themselves are the target.
..you're going to get shat on. I regret all occasions on which people are ripped off by media companies, but imo they stepped over the line by voluntarily having anything to do with pay TV in the first place.
A man walking round throwing stuff into 'garbage trucks' at 2 am is drawing attention to himself in a way that a man casually disposing of bags into litter bins in daylight is not.
How is it that the only civilised western country in which this would even be possible is the one whose economic pre-eminence derived from the early and enthusiastic application of new technologies? If these people had their way the US would still be a handful of starving colonists on the eastern shore, rubbing sticks together to make fires.
They'd have to pay me USD 20,000 just to get me to *use* Chrome again, never mind hack it. Software that secretly creates 3 separate scheduled tasks to reinstall its update program if it's deleted is indistinguishable from malware.
The drawback to this is that MS would know that the two aliases were linked. With two separate accounts they might be able to make guesses based on IP address, but they wouldn't know for sure.
There are two problems with ACP - firstly, the reference of everything to that ludicrous imaginary MIX architecture, and secondly, those awful TEX fonts which give the impression that the book was published in 1962 and became obsolete ten seconds later. My heart sinks whenever I open a computer science book and see that typography.
Credit where it's due however, it does have the only explanation of implementing regular expression quantifiers that I've ever managed to understand.
Obviously this behaviour is unsafe, and not to be condoned; but we must remember that many people have suffered years of noise nuisance from overflights. Indeed in some areas constant overflight by police helicopters is a deliberate method of harrassment used against suspects.
So long as Israel continues to function as a US military colony there will be no resolution of this issue - except by the extermination of the Palestians, which the Israelis are gradually working towards.
If a 70kg man ejaculates 5g of semen at 15m/s, in a zero-gravity environment, calculate the acceleration caused in him by the equal and opposite reaction.
Let's not forget that Bush passed a macho law authorising the 'rescue' of US war criminals from the ICC, if any were ever charged. If the terror-military complex is prepared to do that then they certainly wouldn't balk at having Assanges kidnapped and taken to the Guantanamo concentration camp for torture.
What you won't find in the FAQ is a list of all the changes the 'Restoration' Team have made to the stories - not only have they painted out boom shadows, camera reflections etc, but they've also messed up these changes on numerous occasions, resulting in missing sound effects, actors being left out of credits, credit backgrounds being the wrong colour, and everyone in Black Orchid looking like they're wearing bright red lipstick.
But you can find a list here: http://tinypaste.com/c5441e
Yeah - they identified 2500 *suspects* (many of whom would later have turned out to be innocent) at the cost of surveilling 8 million people 24 hours a day for a year. Even if each inhabitant is only filmed once a day, that's well over 2,900 million false accusations of wrongdoing in the year in question, none of which the police have apologised for or compensated the victims of. The police should only surveill people for whom they have a genuine, pre-existing suspicion of intent to commit offences, based on real-world information.
The police should have uniform cameras that are on all the time, and which transmit to servers maintained by a non-police public body. That way there would be no doubt about who went where, said what, and electrocuted who. A break in recording would favour the accused person, not the cop, in court. With this solution it would be unnecessary to record the police ourselves. In this case, the nonconsensual surveillance of whoever the cop was interacting with would be the lesser evil compared to the current situation.

As to the TV licencing requirements, yes in theory you don't need a licence under the circumstances described above, but in practice you'll be continuously harrassed by TV Licencing until you buy one.
The European convention on human rights assures the right to privacy, and the Human Rights Act makes illegal actions by public bodies that contravene the ECHR. So there would appear to be good grounds for a legal challenge to the Coalition of Cuts on this issue.
I don't believe this for one moment. If they were really investigating Anonymous, at least five people falsely suspected of membership would have been gunned down on tube stations already, and 25 more would have been disappeared into terror detention.

A fine example of the 'constructed misunderstanding'.

Anyone who thinks an official endorsement of coolness has any desirability has misunderstood the concept of 'cool'.

No doubt in 1350 keen feudalists were looking forward with equal enthusiasm to the allocation by the King of the first lunar demesnes.
Why does the article repeatedly use the phrase 'child sexual abuse content'? Is this some advanced way of writing 'pr0n'?

If 'private security contractors' are working for anyone other than the US terror forces, the US media calls them 'mercenaries'.
I shudder to think what Israeli army researchers are doing to make women cry.
Yes, and I hope the spherical Earth theorists are right too. Nice precistroll.
