Actually yes it was. The whole idea of the 5th amendment is so that the state can't force you to incriminate yourself. And notice that ruling doesn't apply if the police know what is on the hard drive and merely need to confirm it. But if its a fishing expedition, then you have the right not to help them put you in prison.
Its probably an automatic scan like the one that gets setup by Norton. After all, the technical competency of certain desktop users has always been questionable.
Of course not. why would anyone confess to a crime? Coincidentally, is anyone looking to purchase a completely legitimate iMac? Only thing wrong with it is that its serial numbers seem to have fallen off.
For your situation, I recommend a tablet made of crushed wood pulp, which has been pressed into individual flat sheets. The technology is locked down and is probably a lot cheaper than your idea of tablets using ios or linux.
Another plus for the old school approach is that when Timmy the Ten-year-old accidentally hits the corner of the device with his elbow and knocks it to the floor, you dont have to account for the loss of a two hundred dollar or more device.
Or sour grapes that he doesn't have the skills to stay employed where he is. Color me skeptical; this is a bullshit article. He doesn't even mention that he is involved in programming, he just says,
"Evil Microsoft! Open source good. Me like open sourceish stuff. Me need job."
He doesn't specify whether he is a network administrator, software developer, or any other of a hundred jobs that he could be talking about.
My biggest problem with focusing on software as a focus for employment is that software requires only a few people to provide products for a great many customers. Write once, copy many. When making actual things, you have long term employment. You also increase the demands for engineers, since engineering is going to want to be local to the manufacturing. Then you have all the additional support positions that surround those engineering and manufacturing jobs. All long term processes.
Software can be written by a team of twenty and maintained by a team of two or three. So you hire seventeen people short term. Eventually you have a bunch of unemployed or unemployable software developers, eager to be replaced by younger, cheaper software developers. Not a good long term view.
Morals have nothing to do with laws or legality. For example, it was moral for Rosa Parks to oppose segregation laws by sitting in the front of the bus, no matter how illegal it was for her to do so. However, in the case of copyright infringement, you have to ask yourself, is it moral that I infringe copyright? Is there an underlying issue of right vs. wrong about making an unauthorized copy of an author's work? Since we have fair use rules - or what is left of them - I would have to say there is no underlying immorality about making an unauthorized copy in and of itself. The other side is that making unauthorized copies and selling them without regard for the author is immoral. The issue is at what point does making an unauthorized copy change from being moral to being immoral. That is the point at which laws should come into play.
Thats' true, any reasonably smart high school student COULD have jumped through those hoops. How many 9 year olds though?
To answer your question, why so emotional, I turn to the words of John Donne:
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
A loss of a child is a loss of all she might have accomplished, both directly and as a result of her interaction with others. Try and take a moment and reflect on the pain her family feels; The sense of loss her friends and neighbors feel. Sure I may not have known her, but she was someone I gave my respect to years ago when I learned that she had passed the MCP exam at age 9.
As a father, I can't help but empathize with her parents who must be devastated to have her light snuffed out so early on. They will never be able to see all that she could become. They will never see her smile or laugh again. They unique way she might have frowned when concentrating or any other mannerism that screams out individuality. All gone and only memories are left. All her promise is lost. Only emptiness remains.

Honestly, I am sure slashdot knows that links can point to things they aren't supposed to
Like this Supreme court decision

He must have been working with Al Gore when Al invented the Internet.
Up till now we've always taken a crap because of Thomas Crapper , the man often mistaken as the inventor of the toilet.
Does this mean we should now say, "I got to go take a Gates?"
do they make that in a non-fat variety?
A kilo of powder for only sixty bucks? Hell yeah, now that's I'm talking about!

Try using a name that doesn't involve a curse word.

Political science majors would get extra credit for theft.

No. I can honestly say I have no idea how some people become household names.

I already had that idea. I am now going to sue you for infringing on my entirely original idea of slapping the judge.
You print in plastic, then make a mold. Then you pour your metal into the mold. You know, like they have done for many years.
When they start crowdsourcing hardware testing
you should try it, its an electrifying experience.
And how many of those have girlfriends?
My life is one thing, my password is totally different!
