He shouldn't be forced to de-crypt his drives because suspected illegal material might be inside them. If police manage to break the encrypted volumes and find illegal material then they have proper reason to assume the other volumes contain the same and hence they can ask him to de-crypt them.
I'm a little confused how anyone can see this differently, the fifth amendment is the right against self incrimination and as long as he doesn't have to open the volume when none of them have been open he hasn't incriminated himself. The second police got inside one of them he is no longer self incriminating himself because at that point he's a criminal, he's guilty, so the fifth amendment doesn't apply anymore. It's pretty simple.
I'm 99% sure that if you increase the QPSK from say 4 to 64 or 128 then if the fridge was to inject a massive spike of noise into the network your over all outcome would be fine, but yes you do need a higher SNR with a high BSR.
I'm not saying it can't be, I'm just confused on how a fridge compressor / motor can output that kind of power, enough to jam a celluar system. That is why I want some proof, just saying it happened isn't enough.
Phase Shift Keying is the base for a ton of encoding measures, when you encode the data you can also make it redundant and hence when it's hit by interference you can recover the data in most cases. For instance:
You dramatically increase the bits per symbol and hence safe guard the data encoded in the original signal. So I'm not confused or even incorrect. If the signal was encoded at a high enough and a redundant enough level a simple fridge compressor / motor shouldn't cause an issue.
I know that but that doesn't mean that this fridge is at fault! I still have yet for anyone to prove this fridge did anything. Well I can admit it's not impossible it is HIGHLY unlikely.
But that link is also missing all the relevant data to back up the complaint. You can say what ever you want but with out hard numbers and records it means nothing.
Well they would "pollute" a wide spectrum, the cellular network should be designed in a such a way as to mitigate those issues. I would assume the cellular networks in Australia implement some FSK or PSK routines to protect them. ( of course more then just PSK and FSK can be applied ).
I know a little about radio networks, not a massive amount but enough to get by. The fridge must have been somehow sending out a noise signature which was in tune with the radio conditions of the network. That is what I don't understand, a properly designed radio cellular network should operate outside of the range of frequencies put off by a simple compressor motor that would be a in fridge. So now I have to wonder either the fridge was designed in a very strange manor, or the fridge malfunctioned in a very strange manor or the network was poorly designed. Does anyone have more details as to the exact details of what happened? I would be interested in seeing the hardened data from the logs, fridge and network. I call BS that the fridge was the issue until someone can produce hard log data showing this.
I disagree, you don't have to worry about saying no when you have nothing to hide. Innocent people don't offer up tests that they know will screw them. The more you say no and the more you try to hide in the shadows the more guilty you always look.
I'm going to break this down into a few questions and statement:
1) You know what I really like about this kind of argument is when a few years later a kid gets kidnapped and the one thing they're missing are fingerprints!
2) Why weren't the kids smart enough to ask why? In Kindergarten I would of spoken up and said No.
3) Why does anyone care? So they have an iris scan, what good is it to them if you never do anything wrong! In one way it's a really good thing they took these because now they can automatically exclude innocent parties from being accused. It's like genetic profiling, you only hold back from getting a genetic test done if your guilty or an idiot, the innocent offer them up in heart beat and never look back.
I remember this lol, I was at home on the computer and opened QBasic.exe. I remember looking at the window and being like WTF? So I went out to the library and got a book on QBasic and that was it! I moved from QBasic to ASM and HTML then to C.
I think the Microsoft Office DOC format and DOCX format needs to be phased out entirely. I can't tell you how many times someone sends me a DOC or a DOCX and when I open it in any other program such as Abiword, LibreOffice or OpenOffice, the document is entirely screwed.
PETA verbally and physically supports terrorist actions being taken against people, buildings and countries. I fail to see why we go after other terrorist groups like the Taliban and then just ignore PETA. The Taliban will blow up a bus to make a point and kill 30 people, PETA will lock the doors on an animal shelter, light it on fire and burn it to the ground with people inside to make a point. PETA is for all realizations a terrorist organization that governments are giving money to.
Why bring that up? Well they want some "offensive" remarks removed, you have to be joking. PETA claims to support the Ethical treatment of animals, yet I fail to see how burning down testing labs, humane shelters and animal hospitals is ethical treatment of animals. What PETA really wants is to let animals roam free without being owned or loved by humans.
You can pull out extreme videos of animals being abused to a sick level, but that doesn't mean all or even most animals are kept this way. I can pull of videos of humans being treated in the same fashion but that doesn't mean all humans live that way. PETA even went as far as to play a video of the holocaust and compare that what humans do with animals. Now what sensible non profit organization is going to do that! PETA wants to make an extreme example out of what really isn't an issue and that to me certainly sounds like what a terrorist group would do.
Also for my final point, PETA has CONVICTED criminal on the pay role who have commited terrorist acts again humane shelters, animal hospitals and animal testing labs, so you be the judge of it, but PETA is not innocent organization, they are terrorists that governments around the world support.
That was a fairly easy test, not to mention that when you look at the graphs they show that there is only a rough correlation between IQ and the motion of the circles. All that test really proves is that you know left from right, anyone with the ability to visually separate out patterns will quickly rock the test. The standard IQ test is flawed, there is no doubt in that statement, but I don't think this test is any better.
For an IQ test to work you first need to break down the learning style of the person taking the test, visual, audio or hands on. Then you need to adjust the test to take into account race and culture. Now you have a test that replicates the learning style of the person in question and doesn't apply a basis which would taint the results.
Giving a hands on person a verbal IQ test is pointless, just like giving an audio person a visual test, they might get some question right, most of the questions right or none of the question right, all you've managed to prove is they can either adapt to a new style or they can't, you haven't determined anything about IQ.
People learn differently, if you ask a person who learns with there hands to read a text book and take a test, they probably wont do very well, maybe getting a C ( for example ), well a visual learner might get an A. Now reverse the situation the visual learn will probably get the C and the hands on learner the A. I'm a hands on learner, I have difficulty just reading something and making sense of it, I need to actually apply it in a meaningful way for it to stick. My best friend is the opposite, he can read a textbook in one night and learn the material perfectly. Does that mean he's smarter or has a higher IQ? No of course not! He just is table to learn material in a different fashion and will always rock a test that is given visually. If you ask him to take that same test as a hands on demo, he'll fail, he wont have a clue how to do it. So why give IQ tests this way?
I think IQ tests need to be tailored to the person taking them and not to an outdated standard.
The world needs less guns, not more. If you let people print working and functional guns then we break the trace-ability of firearms, that will likely lead to an increase in gun related violence.
I think it's time to form a new party where Science, Health Care and Engineering are promoted above all other subjects. Not saying this new party wouldn't support them but it would make the sure the focus is in the right place.
She was practising science, you don't always have to know the outcome or all the steps to have a valid scientific method. The fact she at least could put things together and get a result that is real is more then can be said for other entire subject areas, mainly religion.

It's the basis for a serious of encoding systems that can increase bits / symbol, hence QPSK.
I'm 99% sure that if you increase the QPSK from say 4 to 64 or 128 then if the fridge was to inject a massive spike of noise into the network your over all outcome would be fine, but yes you do need a higher SNR with a high BSR.

That true but in a residential piece of equipment those risks should be mitigated before they can happen. That being said it's possible.

In Ontario we had this same thing when I was growing up and still to this day I support it.

Funny thing is that most of the "all-star" developers I've worked with actually suck.

He owns the name, to bad, you lost. Pick a new name and move on or buy the name out from him.

I think any gun printed that can fire bullets should be banned. If you print a gun that can't fire and is just for looks then I would say it's fine.

Ya it is :S I wonder how that happened.
Thats very valid, almost anything has inherent risk.
