I live in a small community. FaceBook, Twitter, all still more private than what is already considered public here. I hope my area is just an isolated case. If it isnt, then I'm tempted to say privacy has always been an de facto illusion. To borrow a phrase, it was privacy through obscurity, and easier done in urban areas.
People who are greedy, people who are power hungry, etc. are the same no matter where. They go to where the path of least resistance is. In some countries they are the inner party. In others they wear top hats and monocles. At times they lead the guilds/unions. Sometimes they co-opt the press. In some they have the top hats, inner parties, unions and press badges.
The Noble Peace Prize was created after Noble realized his peaceful and life saving invention of TNT had been co-opted for war. TNT is just a tool. So is the press, government, unions and corporations. It is who is using them you need to consider.
I can't bring myself to say adequately how dishearteningly this is. Between the two different accounts of Occupy Wallstreet I saw this weekend* and seeing this today? Why the hell did I go to school to be part of the media?
*Ranged from glorious freedom supporters to hedonistic sex crazed drug addled hoodlums that need sent off to Iraq to fight if they have nothing better to do. Dear god I wish I was joking about that last one.
I would like the smallest government possible. Things like this is why, unlike Republicans, it appears to me that the smallest function government appears to be a federal level government.
I throw stuff in folders in case I have to leave my job and my successor needs some facsimile of order. Otherwise I use a search. Sometimes I use the folders to as a search by category.
I work for a normal every day company that is constantly going through transitions. I see behavior like this with our computer systems. Heck, I see it with even non-IT issues because of attempts to hide data from gossiping employees and the public.
I am not sure if this is full out incompetence, but underestimating the skill (overestimating the incompetence) of those whose job is to detect actual outside attacks if this hypothesis is real. They probably didn't trust those technicians not to spill it to the pilots who they were trying to catch doing something.
Steam is a third party from Windows, I can buy programs/apps through that years before this filing. I am sure some 3rd party apps on the iPhone had in-app purchasing pre-filing of this. It wouldn't be the first time Apple patented something it saw a third party app do, however.
On one hand it attendance is the issue I can sympathize with their goals. On the other hand, I'm nervous that this desensitizes those kids to finger printing.
On my third non-existent hand, what would their primary goal be if you doubt their sincerity? Kick backs for buying these products? Not gathering fingerprints as my school, several times in the 80s and 90s, took my fingerprints with full blessings from the parents as part of "kidnap recovery" programs. Few parents said no to that.
EBooks are beyond my grandmother's capabilities. I love her, but I am not going to mince hairs. How does she pick books? Yard sales and and the late local Walden's books bargain bin. Anything not in that bin was not worth getting in her mind.
Worrying about the 99 centers is basing the whole industry just on my grandmother. Prices do need to come down to compensate for the lesser amount of fixed costs with physically bound the books. Some people only bought books from dollar stores. Should B&N and the industry retool itself for that?
Yes, at $0.99 some can do the volume game. Some can't. That doesn't mean panic or praise the 99 centers this early in the market in a rash judgement just yet.
That is similar to how I see it. A cellphone is like a brief case instead of just a box, at minimum. It makes accessing the data easier, but like a briefcase you may have business mail, contact books, etc. inside. It can also be left locked or unlocked in your car.
What are the laws governing unlocked and locked briefcases in these scenarios?
You know, you are right. Every time I just about break down and buy a PS3 Sony goes and does something like this.
Drake's Fortune is still in line of pricing for other PS3 new releases so it isn't like they are making the game cheaper for those not using multi-player. Being first party they could just raise the price if they wanted more money. Basically this comes down to one of two things: * Just as part of scheme to make money off of each resale. Again a war on used games. * Sony wants to bring Airline style pricing to the video game market. Sure, the ticket is one cost, but don't forget to count all the fees, extras, etc.?
The month to month this is just politics. It'll be wrapped up in thirteen months. At the rate we are going that is only four to five last minute averted government shutdowns. By time there are elections it is going to be overwhelmingly one sided for someone.
Actually, that happened to me accidentally. There is a person who share's my real name down south who is clearly not me who has gotten into all sorts of criminal mischief. I shoot a decent amount of photos free lance so I have six pages of random photos of people, groups, objects, events after him tied to my name in Google searches. Then you have one photo of myself taken a decade ago.
Yeah, I live in an area where laying off the entire police force is seen as a creative way to save money, and the State and Local governments can't agree who owns what road. A sensor system would blow their minds.
Then you find out FaceBook still has a log that it was tagged you, and they are granting back door access to certain governments/businesses to said logs.
That is the cool but unnerving part of government tech. It is hard to tell how much is over estimated (like 2001's flights to the moon style overestimation), how far they are genuinely ahead and how much of the bleeding edge is released.
New York was revealed in the media recently to have the tech to track down everyone wearing a "red jacket" through their camera security systems.
1) Better AI for now. 2) Relatively easy biofuel depending on the region, but this uses none when not in use. You always feed a mule. 3) Less of a PR fiasco if a robot dies compared to an animal.
Well, the main flaw with electronic voting right now is simply that it seems rare from the press I am seeing that there are paper ballots, or receipts mind you, printed out as well. Keep in mind this might be a case of positive news of E-voting focuses on the E-part and the printers are only mentioned in the negative press attacking flaws.
Electronic voting, when the information is not tampered with, is more accurate and faster than the old paper voting. Human error can occur in counting them. See 2000 recount efforts.
The best of both worlds is an auditing system with each voting machine printing out a paper ballot that the voter can verify before turning end. Random X% precincts get hit by the auditing stick to count their votes the old fashion way to make sure they match the electronic vote counts. Perhaps fund research into an Wal-Street level algorithm that is designed to pick out precincts that vote out of proportion for their demographic makeup for that election with a certain margin of error.
I can't count how many times I parked my car with my battery being "full". I mean, if surplus energy were such a huge issue then why is Toyota releasing models now you can plug in for extra "fuel efficiency". For hybrids there can't be that much of a demand. I mean, this means I would need to use more gas to charge my car more to get my good fuel efficiency, partially defeating the purpose of the car.
This seems even sillier for pure electric cars. You might as well argue that each home should have a pipeline to gas stations to siphon off their gas, in exchange for money, which you can buy back at the gas stations.
That hybrid and electric car batteries may need tapped enough to use in this system is a more worrying scenario for me. What the bleep is wrong with the local grid that we are that pinched for energy? There are fluke events that make this impractical, or it happens enough which means to me there is something wrong with the regional system that needs fixed. Not my car drained of "fuel".
Now, solar cars (maybe even cars with mini wind turbines?) I can see being part of this if you leave your vehicles outside. Once, if, your battery fills up you can sell surplus energy back as your car could be generating power during non-use unlike current electrics or hybrids.
Not pure capitalism. This is what you get when you mix capitalism and socialism in a blender and leave it to set.
Just socialist enough to make turn education into something mandatory for everyone and because of that offer lots of money to make it easier to get. Just capitalistic enough that the free money brings out the greed and makes education a commodity.

You forgot hoping for a stupid defendant who would settle instead of fighting.

Maybe he meant the climax? I dunno, in the states there are some people who think of the seasons as Summer, Winter, Road Construction.

Considering /.'s lead time this warning would have been helpful last week.
I jest, I jest, this sounds cool. I hope I can see some of the show in the North East.
Silly as hell for now.

Before I either get worked up or try defending this practice, why are they being paid this again? Badly written contracts or what?

Starting at @0:06 and the words. Who the heck did they test this on and why do they apparently subtitle their thoughts?
@0:07, the words "Powershot" 2 secs in the bottom right.
"Lot4Life" in the elephants.
This is going to be a RTFA story it appears.
