We already have mass surveillance everywhere. We have license plate trackers that scan you not only while you're parked but while you conduct your daily business driving. We have surveillance systems at every store, nearly every business and now more and more homes. Congress for years has had a war on cash to take care of "scofflaws of taxation" but it's really about tracking every financial transaction you do as well. All Amazon does is take images and associate you with your picture to tie up the loose ends? Your privacy? Your Freedom? They're long gone because the technology is cheap and scales. What we need is a Moore's law for surveillance.
they shouldn't get preferential treatment just because they are part of a recognized protected group.
Laws and the courts in many nations disagree creating human resource nightmares. Your abilities and skills should dictate your promotional opportunities not your protected group status. Once we get to that then we'll have true, non-discriminatory employment.
Hero? Gloating? no, he's a footnote and a demonstration that the CFAA hasn't changed since his death. Until the law is changed arguing over its merits or abuses is a waste of time.
No, what he did were violations of the laws meant to catch hackers which by the looks of things he did. He launched a Phishing attack which worked. He also spread the love around with altering the grades of 10 to 15 other students and in some cases lowering grades of some of them. He's now been suspended, faces court dates and his parents will have to cough up a few thousand dollars, maybe 10s' of thousands to keep him out of prison.
With zero tolerance and CFAA this kid has altered his life but he did so knowing the consequences. It's too bad he didn't take time to actually study because he sounds like he's bright. Unfortunately for his parents they'll also face a set of stiff legal bills too in defending him in court.
I suspect those felonies will be reduced to misdemeanors.
Nope. Unfortunately for this teen, he's in a load of pig shit right now. Of course there's always the possibility of a plea bargain, first offense defense etc.
Which raises the question: if the con artist doesn't believe in climate change and is scrapping this program because it's not needed, why did he need to build a sea wall to protect his failing golf course?
Ask those in Hawaii about controlling nature much less the climate.
No to Agenda 21 and its heirs No to Kyoto and its heirs, specifically the PCA.
None of these "international agreements" have ever been ratified by the Senate and are therefore not binding on the US or its citizens. Any programs of dollars spent towards any of these things that were "nodded" to by previous administrations needs to be stopped immediately.
exactly. it seems a lot of folks out here haven't been subjected to technical session discussions with developers from southern Asia. Some of those can be very brutal for the uninitiated.
you already have models in Adroid and IOS, if it's the fact that you want a Windows kernel underneath for app developers then don't hold your breath Microsoft. Nobody wants to deliver for a platform that you constantly change or drop focus on from a business perspective. Of course Microsoft can port their own bloatware onto a phone with their own O/S but unless they pay third party developers to port popular applications, the app store will be a bit barren. Oh wait, that's like it is in Windows 10 now with about half the apps unusable.

You have the right to be mined. Anything you do, say or posses can be collected and used to define profiles about your habits and traits.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend is a better analogy.

When will ISS Mission Support move to Switzerland too? That would include crew and resupply missions too.
I didn't say it was okay there either. Nevada and its residents (former resident speaking here) reap huge financial rewards for legalized gambling.
I'm sure Aaron Swartz would agree with that but he can't.
The Earth + Plastic is now scientifically proven. When does George Carlin get his posthumous Nobel Prize?
They're already projecting that this will net $6B in taxable revenue for states by 2023.
Now they'll be a defense contractor like Boeing et al. While I can understand a company wanting to make money how does this line up with "Do no harm?"
The Secret Service has the investigative responsibility per 18 USC 1030 (d) (1)
Aaron Swartz doesn't fit your statement.

Exactly
CO2 isn't pollution.
If you argue that CO2 is a pollutant then start mandatory sterilization and target nations with unsustainable population growth.
Agenda 21 isn't about pollution, it never was. It is about global socialism and economic redistribution and that I'm opposed to.
Just because you're not obliged by international treaty doesn't mean you shouldn't do something.
I did, I voted. You should get some help on your TDS and also read up on how Treaties work under the Constitution.

Otherwise the TOS thought police might get you if you start using any of the 7 words
