By your logic, it would be unconstitutional for the FBI to sort through mail and pull out the letters addressed to the subject of a search warrant, as the FBI would be seeing everyone's mail.
No, it's very different. It's only a violation if the govt OPENS the mail. The outside of the envelope is not considered private, as by writing it and putting it in the post box you are willingly offering that information to the government for sorting and delivery purposes. You are, however, NOT offering the contents, and thus a warrent is required to open your mail (through USPS). The stingray is doing the equivalent of opening every piece of mail that comes through the post office in any given area.
A search on google for "Google no longer respects quotes" shows that in April 2012 (first result) google stopped obeying quotes. So it's been longer than I thought.
Basically, you're probably searching for things like "Buy new tv" or "What good show now tv", and I'm looking more for obscure error messages, quotes, etc. Like I said, google is okay for some things, just not when you know exactly what you want, and don't want your result to be tailored toward a profile built from your browsing and other searching habits.
It depends how you search. I know how to search. Google used to let me search well. Then they changed that.
"Yeah, I know you put all 5 of those words on there, but how about just two of them, and a vague 3rd-level synonym for a third?"
or "Hey, I know you put that error message in quotes. But I didn't get any ad results related to that, so I just decided to remove 3/4 of the words and replace them with 'lose weight now'
If you need that, sure, use google. If you actually know what you're searching for, use ddg.
Basically the way it works is if you search and the link ends in ebay or amazon or another one of their partners, it adds something to the url like "&from=dg" . Then they get either a small amount from the click, or it saves in a cookie/hidden form field, whatever "I came from duck duck go" so that your purchase yields a small percent.
Anyone who tried to make money from their personal website in the late-90s early 2000s probably remembers this model. It's old. And doesn't track you (It doesn't include WHAT you searched for, just that you found the item and you got there from duck duck go)
Can anyone post what those "anti-money laundering laws" say?
The article lists a couple. Like, you have to report transactions larger than $10,000 in a single day. So the agents would break them up for the people so they would not be reported. And they got a cut of the scam money for always helping them out. Western Union didn't stop these people because they were high-volume, and thus high-profit.
There's an app (and website) called "Square Cash" (different than the Square credit-card readers). If you enter a debit card, people can send you money, and you can send it instantly to your bank. I guess it works like a reverse-charge (like when you return an item). But it's instant. I haven't seen this offered elsewhere though.
I agree. Doesn't parent know that politicians, big-business people, and mafioso all exchange suitcases full of cash? They don't use western union. They have some bald guy handcuff it to his wrist and carry it over.
1. Does the $586 Million cover the losses of the individuals that were scammed?
2. Will they get it or is this a big, fat payday for the Government? (Hint: usually is)
Yes, it's for the individuals.
From the report:
Persons who believe they were victims of the fraud scheme should visit the Department of Justice’s victim website at https://www.justice.gov/crimin... for instructions on how to request compensation through the Victim Asset Recovery Program.
It used to be a tech site, with primarily FOSS related news.
Way back in the day, the vast majority of visitors primarily used Linux.
Things have changed.
This is no longer just "a tech site".
You stopped reading before my point. I understand that 90% of the news on here isn't about tech anymore, but I assumed that there was enough tech left to at least know the basics of "must be plugged in / connected to remotely hack"
The DNC thinks that they can still appeal to the couple folks out there who don't know how to use the internet and whose favourite movie is Rocky IV... What they don't seem to understand is that demographic is already strongly Republican.
Maybe if the DNC was doing really shady things they didn't want anyone to know about, and they thought that information getting out was going to cost them the election, THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Though, really, if they didn't just try to steamroll Hildogg in because "It's her turn!" and actually listened to any of the people or their concerns, they may have had a fighting chance.
Why is this even on Slashdot? It's a tech site. It should know the most basic information: VOTING MACHINES AREN'T CONNECTED TO THE INTARWEBNETS!
This is like the same old shit from the 80s: Every bad guy and wrong action is Russian trying to threaten democracy!
The only remotely concrete anything I can find on this topic is that the DNC had a bunch of leaks prior to the election. So... transparency in government operations especially on the election of officials, that sounds typically anti-Russian to me. And really, if that's the only argument, then the white house is basically crying "Wahhhh we tried to pull the wool over their eyes but someone had perforated the material and they could see right through into who was and how they were fucking the voter's directly in ass!
Obamacare in particular is an incredible achievement in the US, although it will probably get torn up now.
Forced ownership of product in a capitalist economy... So the incentive to be good or competitive goes away... And that's an ACCOMPLISHMENT? I think wrongly used your words are.
Of course. Though, shouldn't what the people pay for belong to the people? Isn't that kind of like the rule of sale? But that wouldn't serve to help the poor...
Yup! It's not "Every Game", sadly. But really, with subscription pricing for a huge catalog of games, it beats the hell out of actually buying used games (and hoping that scratch isn't on the last boss fight). For the 2 or 3 japanese bouncy bubbly anime games that aren't on the platform, yes I do have to reach on the table and push "input" and SCROLLL ALLLL THEEEE WAYYYY DOWNNNN.
But what do you expect? It's a different architecture. They ditched cell. And I doubt Sony would release an emulator fearing that it would be reverse engineered (too late: Check the internet). At least last time I looked into this, it was hard to get the Sony image containing libs etc which was required for the emulator to work, but the architecture itself can be. And I think last time I looked was probably 8 years ago into PS1 emulation... but I'm rambling now.
On a related note, I can also play NES games on my Wii U. And Nintendo DS games on my Wii U. But the split-screen does hurt my eyes after a while...
Cute link -- but did you actually read through to the third link, "How To Play PS3 Games On PS4 - Knowledge Cage", or do you just accept as golden truth google's "Truth Bubble"?

Don't worry, it will be made prohibitively expensive enough to keep it out of the hands of poor people.
TFA says Department of Energy discovered it. US Govt can't hold copyright, trademark, or patent, so the information is free for any bum to construct.

One of the pillars of freedom at the founding of the U.S. was property rights
Yeah, and you used to be able to just walk west and claim as much land as your family could build hold hands or build fence 'round.
Try "mkpasswd" ships with Linux. Try mkpasswd -s 3 -l 12.
terrible analogy - you'd have to break in and make a clone of the cat and take that clone to be even a little bit close.
