I could see if they had to physically scan 24,000 pages... but even then they would be doing so for every copy picked up. Which is more practical... ftps://user:pass@readpalinsemail.com or a scope and grope, flying 3000+ mi (for me), and spending $xxxx.xx?
So what are the rules against someone getting the 24,000 physical pages and scanning/uploading them themselves?
This is the first step to forcefully confiscating all travelers' cell phones and laptops, in an effort to make sure our airlines are secure. Step 1: produce shoddy article, with circumstantial evidence. Step 2: blame random plane issue X on PED Y. Step 3: ban PED's on commercial flights. Step 4: create ridiculous scanning device for "safety" Step 5: PROFIT
Apples and Bananas... Selling drugs is (depending on the amount, etc etc etc) a criminal offense. If the person is going 2x the speed limit, it becomes criminal, but something tells me not too many have gone 130mph+ (65mph zone). A better analogy would be advising someone to not jay walk, because it will disrupt traffic and possibly get them killed, then a cop citing you for obstruction of justice.
You would never, in a million years, be allowed to serve on such a jury. A preemptory challenge would be invoked, and you'd find yourself headed back to work the next day. The only way this wouldn't happen is if the party against having someone like you on the jury ran out of their challenges. Jury selection isn't about an unbiased group, it is about finding the people naive enough to see it from your angle first. (IANAL)
So if a citizen of China, Russia, or Zimbabwe originates a successful (or even mildly irritating) attack against the US government, they will see it as an act of war? I didn't read TFA, but looks like them terrists can spark a war by simply hacking via *name your country here* proxy.
Let's say that isn't even the case, does the Pentagon think that an international cyber attack is going to just come from an address registered to chinacyberwardivision.cn?
This seems shaky at best to declare war on phantoms... then again it falls right in line with the last decade.
I'm not so sure I see the profitable business plan in tacking on a fee to a subset fee of something you already pay for... I pay for internet, but pay extra to be part of the XBL community. Now there would be another premium for player to be further gated within this already gated community?
Similar to an already mentioned post above, WoW started doing this, and I lasted maybe 4mo into that. Cancelled all accounts, and quit playing; frivolous paid BS, that has no real in-game effects are stupid. If the content gives a valuable bonus, then you'll really see CoD plummet. (Not that WoW has failed yet or anything)
This would definitely hurt the traffic of Google, Bing, and Yahoo to name a few. Being based off of advertisements, I would think that Google would most definitely lobby against this, and quite heavily.
I'm not one for corporate lobbyists, but then again, 99/100 times it is something to screw over Joe Consumer. This may be the 1/100...
Which is why I would like to introduce a bill with no provisions, which would make it illegal to piggyback bills. They are what they are, take it or leave it. No? Next subject.
If anyone needs me, I'll be hanging out in my own utopia.
Generally speaking, the signals are reduced to line of sight shortfalls. Once the plane is in the middle of the Atlantic, the curvature of the earth prevents signals going to or coming from the plane from any point under the horizon. At least GPS tells us the last location of the plane before failure/sinking.
After that, it is the same as a leaf falling from a tree on a windy day...
so, no doubt the TSA staff will soon be equipped with endoscopes and be trained in keyhole surgery to prevent terrorists implanting bombs inside their bodies.
If by trained, you mean an 8 hour course, and 8 hours supervised surgery... Why am I even paying for this surgeon who went to school for 10+ years anyway?
I couldn't hope for Shenmue more. At least Crazy Taxi was plenty fun. I'd love to see the original House of the Dead get ported too... those shooters were great fun.
IANAL, but what happened is akin to entering without permission. It kind of gets fuzzy where it was made publicly available, but not publicly broadcast.

I'd have to agree... but here in New England, yellow means the following: punch it. Would it vary by state where they put the line?

Woah, almost lost my tinfoil hat in that rage!

The only reason we (massholes) know where NH is, is because you're our taxless hat!

I never thought of it as being akin to the Balkan Powder Keg...
I hope the Black Hand doesn't have computers!

I drive a standard, own a Droid, and consider myself both proficient at texting and driving.
That being said, and =/= while. I say make these kids drive a good old stick, let Darwin sort out the rest.

Perhaps suing "customers" into oblivion is their new business model...
They still exist, so something must be going right.
I can see Clarkson, Hammond, and May rejoicing.
disapproves.

Then (unhealthy) food becomes the terrorist... where does the madness end?
The wings are typically the gas tank. Good thing that emergency exit door is right there to provide access... at 400mph...
At the very least, blow some holes in the plane, and make the rest of the flight really uncomfortable... and full of "terror!"
Tigers hate cinnamon, everybody knows that.

and a fan is not a (potential) priest.
Agreed. Mirror would be nice.
googling it now.
I want to mod this up again, too funny!

Sell that on eBay, and there's a year of student loans paid off.
