The French have the right idea in this case. There's no reason to pamper this monster and give him a lifestyle potentially better than law abiding citizens.
Recidivism in France is at 59%. In Norway it's 20%.
"On the flip side, supporters of the bill say there is nothing to worry about because it contains a defense for those who release information exposing criminal wrongdoing or who are acting in the public interest."
And who is defining what is criminal or what is in the public interest?
This is pretty much standard operating procedure. They can't outlaw anonymizing services, but they can make running them so much hassle that very, VERY few people want to get involved.
Things that backfire include pissing off judges. If they knew about the Tor exit node then they almost certainly lacked probable cause.
And what was the probable cause for the kiddie porn?
As long as competitor content isn't slowed down to make your content more attractive, it seams reasonable to me to put caps on out of network usage, but no caps on usage from servers which are wholly owned by the ISP.
Bzzzzt. Wrong. Sorry. That's not the correct answer. This is almost exactly the same thing as that offer from Sprint to allow streaming videos from certain providers not to count against data usage. This is precisely what net neutrality is meant to guard against.. preferential treatment of any data. They need to uncap it all, or it all counts against cap.
Pretty sure you should have said T-Mobile, not Sprint.
"Competition is so fierce for developers "that my developers' starting salaries have risen by 50% in the last eight years," said O'Neill, and "senior positions command compensation that meets or exceeds even that of United States Senators.""
At the pretense that it's the unavailability of skilled workers has been stripped away. It is, and always has been, about the money.
How is this even legal? Is there not a requirement to prove that the required skilled labour cannot be sourced locally? The race to the bottom how really moved into the final stretch!
Read http://smile.amazon.com/gp/pro... and you'll see that the government isn't allowed to investigate, nor is there any obligation for companies to prove it. It's truly a racket designed to enrich the businesses.

Did Facebook kill Email? No. Did Google kill the address bar? No. Did Apple kill the PC? No. Did solar panels (insert any other energy technology) kill the grid? No. Will Facebook messenger (or any company-centric IM system) kill telephones? No.
That has to be it right, the results would show how toxic the water is, forcing the state to step in and clean it up. That's the only logical reason for denying this request.
So they're both mostly contemporaneous devices (with the iPad 2 6 months older but iPhone 4s going a year longer), but iOS 9 runs fine on my old iPad2. It's not going to break any speed records, but it's certainly a) not unusable and b) not worth suing someone over. Boot times suck, but that's about it.
This latest move is one that will be view very suspiciously by foreign companies operating within China, or looking to do so.
Why would they view it suspiciously? They'll fall into line and do what the Chinese government requires of them because they'll deem it worth the cost. Money and profits above all else.
Yep. Research In Motion paved the way when they handed over BES encryption keys to the Indians.
Apple figured they'd rather have an Apple-branded music service to pre-load onto their phones as bloatware and all profits from said bloatware.
We know from Apple Maps that Apple is hit-and-miss with application software. Their greatness is hardware.
But yet they buy the company with with horrible--yet trendy--hardware, and a service with an ephemeral subscriber base. I don't understand this acquisition at all. I'd stab my eardrums out with a pencil if I was forced to listen to Beats for any length of time, and having a music service a la Pandora doesn't differentiate and sell their hardware--where Apple makes their money. Not sure where they're going with this one....
...has a menu option in the develop menu for "Treat SHA-1 Certificates as insecure." Nice having the flexibility to turn that on and off depending on need.
How are they going to throttle their service any more that Sprint already does? I have Sprint and 3G is glacially slow (unusable for anything but email) and LTE only somewhat faster. I'm not even sure I COULD download 23GB in a month!
I wish people would stop with the nickelodeon party line bullshit: That other political party is bad, they are eroding your civil liberties!!!. Republicans and Democrats are both complicit. The depressingly small number of privacy protecting politicians defies party lines...
Yep. Both parties are bought and paid for, and ethically (if not morally) bankrupt.

Right. Because executing people worked out so well for the USA, didn't it.
There's no pattern of fewer homicides in countries and states with the death penalty. If anything it's the other way.
And correlation is causation, right?
Pretty much.

And if they'd execute the monsters the recidivism rate would be 0.00%.

Anyone who reads US-CERT alerts probably wouldn't be in their predicament to begin with.
It's shorthand for "Douchebag-San Francisco".

Every American IT worker should boycott Hertz in solidarity and trash them online whenever possible.

Yep. Another case of "follow the money."
You got it wrong. Churchill commented on democracy not capitalism. “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.”
Oops.
As someone (Churchill?) once said paraphrased, "Capitalism is bad except compared to all of the alternatives."
