If it was easy for third party states to gain information from her e-mail server then the "justice system" could have gained it just as easily. Maybe foreign states did hack her server. It's just as likely that the NSA or some other US government entity hacked her server.
Or is the claim that she wiped the server in such a way that it is no longer readable by the US government or even "God", but somehow can still be read by foreign governments?
Yes it is an absolutely ridiculous argument. But it sounds a hell of a lot better than "we don't want any competition, we want you to be forced to buy our crappy set top box for whatever inflated price we decide to charge for it."
Then they should take another course which shows them all the good that science has done for them. As part of that course, remove everything they have which was made using the results of science. So no cell phones, no computers, nothing made of plastic, no modern medicines, and on and on. Probably simpler to say they have to give up pretty much everything they have except for a few things like animal skins, home made bows and spears.
Really they should be much happier having gotten rid of all that distrustful science stuff.
I had trouble picturing how a pair of straight legs which could only pivot would allow walking up and down stairs.
If you watch closely in the video the pivot point on the leg moves up and down. The inside of the leg (meaning side towards the middle, not interior) has a track allowing the pivot point to move up and down the leg. Interesting idea which seems to work quite well.
The only way the path between the tines of the fork will be through your heart
You're assuming that the electricity passes from one tine to another. The summary says:
It features a conductive handle that completes a circuit when the tines make contact with a diner's tongue
And the picture in TFA shows all the tines are part of a solid piece of metal. So the electricity is passing from the tongue through the body and arm to the hand. So it may pass through the heart.
EPUB is also my preferred format for use with my Kobo e-reader. Much better than any other format.
As for the comment in TFA about editors, calibre can create EPUBs for a variety of different sources and allows editing them. sigil is an EPUB editor. Both are free and open source.
Google did exactly what the law requires them to do. Sony made the false claim, they should be the ones that pay the penalty. And also the people in government who created something as broken as the DMCA.
While DMCA is not likely mentioned, it likely is involved. And the reason there is no penalty is because Sony only needs to prove that it is a copyright holder, not that the video that was taken down is actually in violation of copyright.
So the solution is simple. The professor should post some cat video on YouTube, claim copyright, and then file to have every video from Sony removed via a DMCA request.
Hopefully with the whole Harvard Law Faculty behind him he can get away with it and show how broken the system is.

The problem with that is the tool thats been created can then open every phone of a generation and is been seen as been in gov hands via an open court.
Let's see
thats been created
seems clear enough even without the apostrophe. (Upon first reading.)
and is been seen
Well, "is being seen" seems a bit more likely than "has been seen" but I can't say I'm 100% sure.
seen as been
probably means "seen as being". So then the first one should be read as "that is being created" not "that has been created"?
Just exactly where does the line get drawn on who that amendment no longer applies to?
Don't worry yourself too much about where the line gets drawn. It can easily be erased and redrawn as necessary. See, nothing to worry about.</sarcasm>
My father made his own garden compost for a lot of years, and quite frankly meat caused more problems than it contributed... because the meat rotted and got nasty and didn't break down into nice clean compost.
It's true that a small compost pile cannot handle meat, but industrial scale piles can because they generate much more heat, which also kills off the bacteria.
Green bin programs collect kitchen scraps including meat, fish and bones in addition to the usual vegetable matter. All of it is composted.
Sounds like it's time to take care of it the "American way." Sue them.
Henry Schein's Gentrix G5 did not use minimal HIPAA encryption levels, despite saying so in its brochures, online website, newspaper interviews, and newsletters.
Everyone who bought the software can now sue them for not providing what they claimed to provide. Sue them for the cost of the software plus punitive damages to cover the hassle of having to switch over to some software that does proper encryption.
all people living at the property, even if they are sub-letting
So if you sign a lease and then you have a child you must seek the property owner's permission for your child to live there with you? I'm assuming children are legally people. And "even if they are sub-letting" isn't requiring that they be subletting. (Before someone says "but the child isn't subletting.")
I'd say the law as written says you have to ask permission. If that's not the intention then the law is badly written. Wouldn't that mean discrimination against people with children is allowed?
To measure resistance you need two pins. You can just connect those two pins directly - no resistor needed. Just think of the wire/jumper as being a 0 Ohm resistor and check for that.
Emphasis mine in both cases. The use of the phrase "in the site" caught my attention right away. Is that a reference to their bots, who are literally in the site. "On the site" is what I usually hear, and they clearly know that version since they use it elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Biff and Skippy get a taxpayer-subsidized 4 year frat party.
I think it would be completely fair to have reasonable minimum academic performance requirements. You have to have shown promise in high school and must continue to get good grades in college or university. That way Biff and Skippy likely get zero or only one year of that frat party. If they can fool around and still get good grades then maybe that's ok - they do seem to be learning.
To deal fairly with people who did not do well due to circumstances beyond their control (say a parent died the week before finals) there could be some sort of review process. There could also be some sort of probation system where people who were borderline would pay some cost to show that they were serious. Improving their grades would then remove that required payment.
People tend to not value things that they don't think costs them anything.
I would make a slightly more nuanced statement. People may value less something which is given to them as compared to something they had to earn. Individual results will likely vary significantly as to how much less. Studying hard to get good enough grades is earning the reward of free tuition.
I would consider my own personal experience here. My family did not have a lot of money, so I earned my own money to pay my way through a four year B.Sc. While I had excellent grades in high school, I received only one scholarship that amounted to the cost of a couple of text books. I graduated with an A+ average and the government (Canadian) gave me a scholarship which paid my way through graduate school. They more than got their money back in taxes I've paid over the years.
At the same time, I knew people who's parents paid their tuition for them, and who failed out after one year of frat partying. I also knew people who's parents paid their tuition and who studied hard and did well.
Typically it has a fairly specific definition involving a person, which is what the legal system calls a human. (Emphasis mine.)
I completely agree with what you say. Just can't help but point out the fact that because this happened in the U.S., "person" would include a corporation (according to SCOTUS) but as far as I know "human" does not include corporations.
From my point of view, being human should involve being humane. To me that doesn't describe a corporation. Unfortunately there seem to be too many humans who don't seem to fit that description either.
I would think it counts as fair use. Some might say that if the whole page was readable versus just the headline that might not be fair use. (But it's likely not readable in a low resolution image, and could even be blurred while leaving the headline readable.)
At the worst, if some court rules that it's not fair use then create a new version of the story, which replaces the image with a description of what the image was and a comment that the image had to be removed due to a DMCA request by the Sunday Times. Then send them a link to that new version to the Sunday Times to thumb your nose at them.
The way Bell sees it is that if you are paying Netflix and getting the content you are stealing from Bell. I think they don't like emphasizing the "stealing from Bell" part and just say "stealing" because they know they would be laughed at.
At the same time, I knew someone who signed up for a special offer from Bell and then had to call Bell every few months to get silly extra charges removed from their bill. I wonder what Bell would call it when people who don't pay enough attention to their monthly bills or don't take the time to call up and argue with them end up paying false extra charges on their bill. To make that clearer, what does Bell call it when they collect unexplained extra fees from customers beyond the required payments for the services provided? That wouldn't be stealing would it? Or just business as usual?

Sorry but that part of my brain is also screaming right now:

That and the fact that they realize that the suggested punishment is too much. Keep in mind, they're British, when they say
that's about the same as someone in the US screaming 10 years is fucking insane!!!
