    That advice also violates the Supreme Law which these agents have pledged to uphold - "No person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." But you know, the government officials don't give a damn about their Oath to uphold that law. Not quite. That's why they invite you to do it; they don't have to therefore do any actual work in gathering evidence to present in a court of law. It's almost a truism that "you can't talk yourself out of jail but you can certainly talk yourself into it."

    could someone please tell me how I will vote in the next election? I'm getting excited to know if I'll vote my conscience this time or if I will cross over to the other side.

  10. Serious Question(s) on The Economics of Federal Cloud Computing Analyzed · · Score: 1

    The concept of cloud computing is utilizing resources that are not located within one's general geographical area or the resources, at minimum, aren't owned by you, is that correct? If this is the case, how then would companies and people in general be persuaded to buy the hardware to run all of these resources? Or maybe what I'm asking is who is willing to pay for all of the cloud support? Does Microsoft say, for example, that the new Office 2012 is entirely cloud-based; no need for apps on your local machine, but they own the server farms to host all of the thousands of Office cloud apps that people are running? Maybe I'm confused.

    Not. Even. Close. One simple example amongst many, the US Bill of Rights is a limitation on the powers of the federal government; the British equivalent are "rights" bestowed upon the citizenry and may be changed and removed at the pleasure of the ruling body.

    but nuclear power plants can be built everywhere, and the only reason we're not building them is because people are irrationally scared.

    You would probably be better putting it inside a camera, with some harmless looking snaps in the DCIM folder. If they use the camera to look at the pictures, they most likely won't find anything else.

    You know, one could do it even better and use those programs that hide the data within the pics themselves.

  25. Re:Good for pre-teens, but not older on Children's Watch Allows Parents To Track Their Kid · · Score: 1

    Sorry for duplicate reply, but, just why do parents think the "I lost a lot of respect in you and quite a bit of trust" line works? Now maybe I was just special, but whenever my parents tried to pull that shit on me I just laughed about it and did the exact same wrong thing next time, often simply because they would get 'upset' about it. Seriously, there is nothing more amusing in the world than making your parents snap at ya. It's funny, they're so powerless to do anything they just end up shouting and making themselves feel strong.

    I can't speak for others; in my case, I reinforce the idea that trust and respect are far more valuable in life than anything else. They get punished too, of course, my kids. It's not just one or ther other. And it sounds like by the time you were old enough to laugh at your parents when the tried to pull that shit on you, it was already too late. I guess if you think that your behavior is not dysfunctional, then more power to you.
