Well, a government or corporation should never be permitted to use civil procedure against individuals anyway. The government in particular only uses it to circumvent a person's legal rights, like a unanimous jury decision and reasonable doubt, the IRS and civil asset forfeiture being the prime example. Civil procedure should only be available to a civilian, never to the official, except maybe in simple contract disputes, where everything is in black and white. And a preponderance of evidence and majority of the jury is perfectly suitable in such cases. This helps to preserve a balance of power.
We need the law's version of universal health care, public defenders for civil cases also. There are too many innocent victims who can't afford to defend themselves from trumped up charges and lawsuits.
The real issue to me is quality control of the device. (Why are the mods so harsh?) Forcing it into the black market would only make things worse. Even now though some of the fumes are coming from the cheap materials the thing is made of. I would be happy with one rule. Make the entire thing out of nice thick stainless, with a quick sure way of killing the power. Making it foldable (again with a robust metal hinge, or by unscrewing it a quarter turn) with the element/vial on one half and the battery/switch on the other might be workable. At least that way I know I'm not breathing somebody's burning plastic, and it can't turn itself on when its packed in the bag or purse and bring down the plane (Lucky that wasn't in checked baggage over the middle of the Atlantic, eh?). Googling exploding vape pens will also bring up plenty of results. I can think of better ways to die. Just basic safety. Is that too much to ask?
For Microsoft and equivalent, mere pennies.. And even that is figured into the cost of their products and services. So, in effect, they are free, as in beer.
For the rest of us, *if you have to ask*, you know the rest... We can't even buy a cop.
You will have to find another solar system. This one and a bit beyond is entirely occupied. And considering the nature of all life forms (the rules of the universe are constant. Might makes right), you probably won't have much luck anywhere else.
The next step will be local mesh, and they will try to regulate that.
Yeah, I have to admit, radio signals are easy to locate and jam. We are in a bit of a pickle, aren't we?
The cat wins this round. Let's see what shakes out. Maybe we'll get our sub-space secure channels sooner than originally thought. There has to be a way to render them harmless. What happened the miraculous 3D printers to make our own electronics? Then maybe we can overwhelm the with millions of relays floating in the wind like confetti. And maybe we can piggyback on the jammers also. All we have to do is modulate the signal to suit.
:-) I noticed the pump and dump market trolls don't want to see their game exposed.
The vultures, as in patent trolls. Nobody else will really benefit.
Yeah, that's a given. I was kinda wondering which party is being set up as the pansy on Black Tuesday.
The way you can benefit is to cash out when its still possible...
Probably you can stay in it until around mid September, August for the really paranoid... Buy back in January, after the dust settles a bit, depending who wins.
Speaking of fire hazards, that's exactly what these things are, more than a phone or laptop because of the heating element used in addition to those nasty batteries, and it's too easy for the switch to get stuck. They are chintzy as hell, real low quality, and made out of plastic?! Not a good combination. As far as the chemicals being emitted, the makers didn't "intend" for that to happen, they just didn't give a damn. The smell alone should have been an indication though. That stuff is chemical soup, no better than burning badly refined crack with all the solvents still in it. With tobacco, you should go *back to nature* and smoke it like god intended. If you want to vaporize it, just throw the leaves into hot water.
Unicorns are reproducing like bunny rabbits. This can't be for real. Watching the markets is going to be more exciting than the election. Who will benefit the most when the balloon pops?
It's sad when I can say something like that, and there are other people out there who are such raging asshats that there's some question as to whether I'm actually one of them.
Welcome to the club. It is a very large club, but there's always room.
If you don't like the lapdog media, go to Twitter and Facebook. I'm sure you will find a few people that share your point of view and deliver the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Let's just use the best we can and create better encryption in the process and tune out all the bellyaching about it. To hell with them and the damn high horse they rode in on.
When the public fails to properly oversee the state, and considers it infallible in terms of self defense (I would like to know if they believe self defense even exists when faced with a trigger happy cop), I don't hold much value for their opinion. But they are the ones pointing the gun, so I'm sure they hold much less value for mine. They already won the war.
You've gone off the "deep end" with the absurdities there, buddy. You work for the IOC?
*sigh* I guess I do have to spell it out... Keeping it on my cell phone should be sufficient, wouldn't you agree? I mean, you know, I usually have that one with me, even when I'm on the shitter.
If we buy anything at all, some of that money probably goes to the IOC®, even if the path meanders a bit. I sure it's being used for a good purpose, like fixing up the slums, and cleaning the water, building the stadiums, curing zika, cancer, and mental retardation, amirite? Quit your bellyaching. If you don't buy at least two tickets when thinking about the Olympics®, you are evil, and a thief. Those that do watch are treated the flashy thingy afterwards.

Router failure? No.
Windows 10 upgrades... Don't worry. That all ends today
You can thank the torrents for those low prices. Hollywood doesn't have a choice but to compete. The free market works!
Save the shtick for the publishers and distributors. I mean, if you care so much for the artists.
I guess it's the only way to avoid invasion though.
Still sucks to see Hollywood dictating its demands to the whole world.
And it still sucks to have the ISP as our singular connection to the internet. Where's our redundancy?

You see my face?
Yes. And you do look very surprised.
Heh, good luck making a working system out of quantum entanglement...
I'm just looking for a destination.

Nyquil and tequila are a wicked mix.
Yeah, I guess so...

How do you access your locally kept text file when you're not on your local desktop?
Oh c'mon... Do I really need to spell out where you can keep a local copy?
Yeah most vapor is easily penetrable. Imagine what would happen to an airplane if it wasn't.
Would it really be incorrect to assume that keeping a local text file with your passwords is quite a bit more secure than anything in the Cloud?
Tap water regulations are usually very strict.
Yes, and this article shows how Florida is dealing with that very issue. They make up for tax cuts by lowering expectations.
