So the NSA, for all of it's intrusion into privacy to protect us all, could not find 93 co-conspirators who had access to nuclear weapons, how on earth can we expect them to find a small terrorist cell? What the hell are we trading our liberties, privacy, and freedom for if they can't even uncover something as large as this?
Just because there isn't a current exemption from law for them, does not mean the law applies to them. When you are above the law, you do not need an exemption from laws that do not apply to you.
Seriously. Does the OP of the summary really not understand that open source != free? Publishing the source code has nothing to do with licensing. If the military had paid for 500 copies of open source software and installed it on thousands of machines, they would STILL BE PIRATING IT.
Seriously, it depends on what I'm working on. There are items I wouldn't even bother trying to trouble shoot without a VNA and there are items I don't need more than a multimeter. I wouldn't say the oscilloscope is dead, it's use case has simply changed.
Dad and mom do not agree, kids are minors and thus unable to decide for themselves in the eyes of the law, and thus medical evidence breaks the tie. I really don't see the problem here...
IF mom and dad and kids didn't want it and courts were ordering something, then that would be a different story.
You realize apple already does this right? They have a show room, in fact lots of show rooms. Where I can go and see their products, test drive, try, and see if I like. Then I can either buy it there or if I want something that's not quite off the shelf, configure one online either in store or online exactly how I want it.
Being able to buy it online doesn't mean you can't buy it in person or see it in person.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are man-made chemicals that were widely used as chemical coolants and electrical insulators in electrical motors and transformers.
The reality here is someone with some authority was an idiot. This is getting spun as "evil fema shut down the little nice drone maker" which clearly isn't accurate at all. It wasn't FEMA that did this, it was a guy who works at FEMA. I very much doubt the W. Craig Fugate ordered this, nor any of his staff. It was some idiot that works there without the knowledge of his superiors (although I bet they know now...). Also, he didn't just shut down the drone guy, this guy at FEMA is also clearly stepping on the toes of all the local authorities already on the scene.
I'm not saying the correct response here isn't to make it into a story, or to be upset about how this was handled. But the anger shouldn't be directed against the agency, it should be directed against the individual who made this call. I know big governmental agencies are faceless organizations, but it is nothing but a collection of people, and it's actions are those of the people it employees. If you want change, then demand change of the people and you'll get change of an organization.
This is why courts are setup in tiers. This is why there are appeals. Because a stupid judge somewhere can't think hard enough to realize why this is dumb and the implications of the precedent they're setting. Luckily, the appeals courts generally sort this thing out before it goes too far off the rails.
Is the availability of 3D printing. The plastics needed to make single use firearms exist to make them much stronger than the "junk" used in 3D printers. Furthermore, a plastic bottle of 5 lbs of gun powder doesn't set off a metal detector either. You don't even need a 3D printer to make that.
The truth of the matter is if you are able to get within a few feet of someone, you don't need a 3D printer or any other fancy machines to make a weapon to kill said person.
Technically, perhaps, it doesn't explicitly say they're jews, but it does heavily imply it, and that's not good editing. Good editing leaves no room for confusion. It's the difference between easy to read and hard to misunderstand.
The summary DOES say they were pro-israel terrorist, which is incorrect. They were not, they tried to sell this same thing to the KKK (who are anti-jew). Just because you attempted to sell it to a group, and ESPECIALLY if you try to sell it to the opposing group, does not mean you are of that group.
As far as the original commenter's suggestion that the editors are antisemitic, I doubt it. "Never assume malice, when incompetence will do."
Actually, they effectively can. They simply arrest you, book you (where DNA taking is legal), and then fail to press charges, and release you. Knowing this is all legal, they can go door to door telling you that you can either give it, or they'll just arrest you and take it anyways.
If the other driver was aware enough of the other car to see if he was on the phone or not, there probably isn't an accident in the first place. The reasons that accidents aren't more common is because the second driver avoids the mistake of the first driver. The obvious exceptions to this is getting rear ended at a stop light, however looking behind you, inside the passenger compartment (not just recognizing there is a vehicle there), to see if the guy is on the phone or not, is not exactly a common occurrence right before getting rear ended.
So yes, if they have probable cause because in the rare occurrence someone sees the other guy is on the phone, but is unable to avoid the accident, then they should be free to use that probable cause to obtain a warrant.
And exactly what good is impeaching Obama going to do? You believe that Biden is secretly against these things and is the white knight that is going to come to our rescue? Or have you not actually thought that far ahead? Wait, let's say we impeach everyone till a republican gets back into office. Do you not remember who it was that signed the patriot act in the first place?
I agree change needs to happen, however before rallying a cry for change, let's make sure the change will actually have a meaningful impact and give us the results we want.
Sure you could. In this case he's offering cash for people to solve it. If you are offering a million dollars for simple math problems, you are going to go broke very, very quickly.
So go down to your local plastic supply store and buy plastic rod/pipe and yay, a plastic gun. You think this plastic stuff printed from a 3D printer is stronger than the stuff you could have bought for the last 10 years with ease?
I find it hard to believe when any important account would/should lock out out after a couple of tries would be vulnerable to even a 4 digit pin of only numbers (2 months of 4 tries per day locks you out on average, at some point your bank should really be contacting you) would be vulnerable to a brute force attack. On the other hand, key loggers make even 128 character long truly random, 46 options per character passwords are easily broken. Even more annoyingly are the fucking stupid "password helpers" that say well just follow this simple rule and you'll make your password virtually unbreakable. Word to the wise, if you're following a rule, you've added 1 bit of entropy, that's it. Nothing more.

Just in case anyone else didn't know.

Someone mod this post up, and the story down. This kind of crap should never make it onto the front page.

I'm amazed the Media didn't manage to convict him, despite how hard they tried.
So when someone steals credentials, how do you change your "password"?
And you thought autoplay ads with sound were bad, just wait, autoplay ads with smells are coming. And then will come the trolling....

How is there no mention of if there was or was not a warrant for this in the summary? More over, how the hell does the TFA not even use the word once?
