Think about how long it would take Government to kill kickstarter. How long before it appears on Kickstarter: "We need 1 million dollers to buy the legalisation of cannabis from Government" At the moment they are just about able to hide the cold fact that you can buy any law you like, but if you put that up on Kickstarter, then it would become impossible to ignore.
It's a hypothetical example of something that's a life choice that is nobody else's business. I toyed with things that might be interpreted as crimes, like "can you prove you didn't steal X" but as those would actually be a crime then there's a certain element of a need to find out the answer for the public good. So sexual preference seemed like a generic enough example that people would understand at a glance as something private that can easily be answered as "well, that's none of your business"
Can you confirm for me your heterosexuality? If you cannot prove then I shall have to assume the worst.
You have to be very careful about the use of "neither confirm nor deny" because there are people with agenda's of their own who want to throw mud. They will want to sow doubt about the security of Skype so will take "neither confirm nor deny" as an admission of no security.
What if they had said "no comment" in response to the question? Would you then also assume that by making no comment, they were confirming that it was insecure?
I hope your idea of confirming guilt by remaining silent doesn't catch on in law enforcement. Perhaps (I assume you are from the US) you should do away with the fifth?
It is VERY common policy everywhere to respond with ambiguity (or not at all) when asked about security related subjects. Why give anything away? Just because you ask, does not mean they are obliged to answer.
But you don't get around the extraction by torture. You can tell someone your password is the first verse of God Save the Queen, but what you've got here is actually a form of biometric password, but instead of a finger print, it is instead using the unique process by which you learn a given task, a kind of 'brainprint'. You can still be coerced to enter the password, having been brought to the location. But would you be able to enter the password under duress?
Not saying it happened, but just because someone ruled against Apple, doesn't mean they stopped being bought. It unlikely, though not impossible, that Samsung can buy a judge of their own.
Really, that's all Lawyers are in these cases, marketing for judges. Spend the most and you win them over, hence why the little guy tends to lose.
There was a man who spread lies about his competitor to ruin his reputation. Some time after he felt remorseful and went to his competitor to seek forgiveness and ask how he could make amends. The competitor told the man that he could do 2 tasks for him which would make everything alright. Eager to solve the issue the man agrees.
The first task is to go, on a windy day to the top of a hillside and cut open a feather pillow scattering the feathers far and wide. This task was swiftly accomplished. The man asked what the second task was and the reply?
"Now gather up those feathers and undo the damage you have done to my reputation."
The more I see US tariffs, the more I love my 3 network. they gave me Galaxy S2 and unlimited Data for €40 a month (on a 2 year contract) with 300 points (shared between minutes and texts, 1 point = one minute or 2 SMS) which I never use (yay for skype). So I think we have it quite lucky here.
I think it's really funny that people think they are not paying FB for access. They are taking your personal information from you (which has value) and selling that to advertisers.
Depends, are you talking about the original painting, or just copies of it? I don't see why the original painter would get a cut of the sale of print copies of the original work.
Well the mice are likely genetically altered to attack their own pancreas to simulate Type 1 diabetes, and they were being treated with human (not mouse) stem cells.
A human with not an immune system attacked, but merely faulty pancreas, taking stem cell treatment (using stem cells created from their own skin cells) will not likely suffer rejection.
The first iPad was only 2 years ago. True, it wasn't $1400, but it also wasn't wearable. If this is out initially within the year, then in 3 years it is quite possible that anyone who wants one will have one.
4 business men were out playing golf, a Brit, an American, a German & a Japanese.
While teeing up for a shot the Brit pauses and apologises, "Sorry, I have to take this." He raises his cuff to his ear and speaks into his lapel, conducting business. He explains afterwards that he has this new tech that allows him to have a wearable phone.
A short while later the american is about to take a shot and he too pauses, holds his thumb to his ear and little finger to mouth and also conducts business, explaining afterwards that he has a mic implanted in his thumb and speaker in little finger.
Again, a while later it's the German's turn, he stops and appears to be talking to the air. He tells them he has a microphone implanted in a tooth and speaker in his ear canal.
They are almost finish their round of golf when they hear a squeak of surprise out of the Japanese and he rushes off to the bushes unbuckling his trousers. He calls over his shoulder, "Fax Coming!"
That's not entirely true. Some contracts are quite spiffy.
I got a Samsung Galaxy S2 from 3 on a 2 year contract @ €40 per month. That works out at €960. They gave me the phone for free. The package included all you can eat data & 350 'points' (1 point = 1 minute / 2 SMS)
Given how the handset was ~€500 at the time I'm looking at €20 pm for the call/data plan.
Data: She brought me closer to humanity than I ever thought possible, and for a time...I was tempted by her offer. Jean-Luc Picard: How long a time? Data: Zero point six eight seconds, sir. For an android, that is nearly an eternity.

The "CW" name is derived from the first letter of the names of these corporations (CBS and Warner Bros.).

No need to get your knickers in a twist.

I dunno, spelt is a modest source of fiber.
I wonder what will happen in a few years time when more and more people have wearable devices capable of recording.
The more I see US tariffs, the more I love my 3 network. they gave me Galaxy S2 and unlimited Data for €40 a month (on a 2 year contract) with 300 points (shared between minutes and texts, 1 point = one minute or 2 SMS) which I never use (yay for skype). So I think we have it quite lucky here.
It was filtered out.
Don't forget the Apple design patents!
I think it's really funny that people think they are not paying FB for access. They are taking your personal information from you (which has value) and selling that to advertisers.
So no, FB is not free.

At least, that's what I'd hope to be the case.
I like how that is put forward as a kind of Sci-Fi scenario, and not what's going on in cell centres around the world already.

And Hawkeye, Blackwidow and that's just out of the Avengers.
There's lots of Superheroes w/o super powers.

Yes, but one was holding a Football. The Scientists believe this to be the original Real Madrid and Barcelona FC captains.
Data: She brought me closer to humanity than I ever thought possible, and for a time...I was tempted by her offer.

Smoke me a Kuipers, I'll be back for breakfast.
