The analogy to the "open house door" is that these people would be going door to door, checking the locks for any house the is unlocked.
Someone doing that is not being altruistic. They are deliberately trying to break in and when they can, they take pictures and sometimes steal stuff and then claim they were only protecting you.
Better that people caught breaking into homes be shot by the owners.
And while the world isn't black and white, we have processes that are set up to mitigate that fact.
Viewing the breaking into a system, and then notifying the owners, as some kind altruistic act is at best misguided and more likely a sorry excuse for illegal behavior.
We saw what happens when you do that with the Shuttle.
If I'm going to be jetting about the skies with bombs and rockets, pulling 9 Gs, etc. I would want the best aircraft, not the least expensive aircraft.
If people paid for it all their lives, then there should be more than enough money...right?
Wrong. Fact is most people go through what they paid in, with interest before they die. That means it's just another form of welfare. You can argue the merits, but thems the facts.
They are deserving of the disdain and ridicule reserved for the Postal Office, Congress, etc.
Which is a shame because I've always figured they had some pretty smart people there. The examiner should have taken a shit on the application and mailed it back with a note saying,"this is what your application is worth".
They are either complete morons or...are getting payoffs. And Google will just use it as club some day on a small outfit that doesn't have half a million dollars to fight a lawsuit.
BBBZZZZ You both lose. This transcends stupid comments about the Tea Party or saying he's a Lefty. He's a Reporter. He did what Reporters do, distort, mislead, lie. Probably to enhance his reputation and certainly to enhance revenue...look how many clicks NYTs is getting from this.

The ends rarely justifies the means.

Why do people cling to the perception that committing a clearly illegal act is somehow/sometimes justified for some reason?

Means "we've built an industry by holding our boot to your necks. Now how will we accumulate billions?"
The levers of Power are held by two competing teams.
And just like NFL franchises, changing the owners of the teams takes a lot of money.
If you want to play, then you have to pick a team (Republican or Democrat).
If you want to watch, then you can root for each team equally depending on their field position or which down they are on (independent).
So, who do we need to tax and what do we need to restrict/ration/regulate to keep this from happening?
It's for the Children, after all.
Software should not be patentable. Period.
From trash is still trash.
That's pretty fucking funny and I'm not even drunk.
Even if you were being sarcastic.
If you're not....PLEEEASE tell us!
It's a stupid patent and the examiner was an idiot.
Why are you defending these clowns?
But the USPTO is populated by idiots.

Don't they run their cars on Weed?
It's a twofer! Just route the exhaust through the cabin.
San Fran has a fairly low incidence of people bathing regularly.
At least that's what my nose told me the last time I was there.
And nothing in that statement speaks to the involvement of Government either.
Nowhere in your stupid snark was any indication that my statement was untrue.
Clearly, there is a misunderstanding as to what the "service" is.
But I would point out that public funding was relatively scarce prior to the decline of standards.
Just out of curiosity, what drove this particular methodology to be implemented?
Answer that and you will find the cause to all your problems.
That would be the Progressive Left. They've owned the education establishments since the sixties.
Because "logs" are an endless series of JPG files depicting a graph of speed vs time and a charge vs time.
Go sit in the corner, facing the wall.
Yeah...I'll get right on that. Elon is my buddy and he'll be happy to give a link for me to post taking you directly to the log results.
Did your mother drop you on your head recently?
Why don't you man up and accuse him of lying instead of pissing around and suggesting that other people prove he's right.
I get tired of the Daily Koz zombies coming here and vomiting their Kool Aid all over the place.

Or, you can look at it another way, It's just the same kind of "rebuttal" Broder published. Filled with half assed explanations and caveats.
