Nobody touch it! It's scared, can't you see? It doesn't seem to understand us.... I wonder how it got here? Someone call the police, it probably left it's cave in the mountains to find food.... poor thing...
People having "paid" for their crime is an argument against punishing them twice, not against exercising common sense. If someone has a criminal conviction for assault and battery, it may be unwise to hire them to drive a taxi.
What about the people who are abusers or rapists or even murderers who haven't been caught? How do we screen against them?
If a person makes a mistake, gets caught and then serves their sentence, they should be treated the same as anyone else.
Not only that, but to then turn around and offer it as a service to other law enforcement agencies would strongly imply that they are confident they have a technique to open at least one type of iPhone.
It may not be an exploit... perhaps it is an "undocumented" backdoor.... who knows what it is... but the facts strongly imply that they have the means.
I say good for them. Apple thumbed their nose at the FBI... the FBI has no obligation to reveal their secrets to Apple.
I left a strict Mormon household to go away to college... I discovered a world I never knew existed. I didn't even come close to graduating... but I had a lot of fun!
I came back and went into the general workforce for a number of years before I tried school again.
I have had the $5/mo google apps for a long time and am in the process of moving my stuff over to MS. I use MS Office online way more than google docs so it makes sense for me. Plus I think that outlook.com is a cleaner interface than Gmail.
I am currently doing an old fashioned forward to my Outlook.com mailbox from gmail.
Only problem is, in order to use my custom domains on MS, I need to use an O365 business plan which would come with OneDrive for Business (Groove) and Skype for Business (Lync) instead of the home user versions.
I don't want to use the business editions for that reason.
I think most programmers actually like silence or very specify types of music at low volume.
I am not sure how someone could concentrate with video and human dialog playing in front of them unless it was completely tuned out and ignored... but then what is the point?
That said, I have somewhat learned to live with the TV on in the background since my computer is in the living room. I would not call myself a programmer, but I have written some complex Perl and PowerShell scripts... and I find it much harder to concentrate on those types of tasks with the TV on.
Show me a person who is not interested in social justice and I will show you a privileged asshat who has a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.
I happened to be watching broadcast TV yesterday and I saw a PSA put on by some kind of law enforcement organization.
The PSA was about public wifi hotspots and told people to turn off their wifi when they leave the house and if you do connect to a public wifi hotspot, don't do e-commerce or other sensitive transactions.
I was floored. It was such a good and informative message I couldn't believe its source.
Perhaps there is a governmental push for these types of messages now...
You choose to give your information (like your name) to someone. You have every expectation that the person will do evil with that information, but it is possible. That is a risk you knowingly take.
This is about the information that you never consented to give away in the first place.

Pretty much... It has long been known that Blizzard hates their customers...
That's gotta be one hell of a joint

No, you can't drive for uber because you have poor impulse control...

Exactly!

TOS will be updated and API key revoked within days.
Never used Tinder, but I would expect that this new web site can only cause harm to Tinder users.
You can't live in the past.
Windows 7 is going to drop off the map in less than 4 years.
Why should Sony spend who knows how much R&D to get it working on a system that is already on the obsolescence track?
Maybe "Random" is the name of the app but has nothing to do with the functionality...
Exactly my experience as well.
I left a strict Mormon household to go away to college... I discovered a world I never knew existed. I didn't even come close to graduating... but I had a lot of fun!
I came back and went into the general workforce for a number of years before I tried school again.
When I did go back, I graduated 2nd in my class.

It will be our slimmest, lightest, most elegant Kindle we have ever made.
Just announce it when you are done... all this manufactured excitement these companies try to create is seriously annoying.
I am an avid sci-fi fan (books mostly) and have always meant to watch SG but never have.
I know that there are hundreds of episodes of untapped sci-fi if I ever get really bored.
It's like my emergency escape pod... just sitting there waiting... but if I watch it, I lose the safety net.

You probably run the Comodo "secure" browser too huh?
Well... if the person actually IS distributing copyrighted material that would come out in court if they decide to fight...
It may end up costing the person more in the end.
I am guessing they are relying on the old "make the cost less than that of hiring a lawyer" strategy that patent trolls use.
Seems to me the only way you can ban gambling sites is to do at at a high network layer so you can filter on content rather than IP.
Only problem with that is HTTPS would need to be cracked open by the ISP using a root cert they force you to install in your browser.
This may be the start of the slippery slope which will end at full circumvention of encrypted communications.

Yeah, all it will require is shoving a metal spike through a muscle... where do I sign up?
They might as well try to ban breathing! That'd have some success.
I suppose it depends on how it is implemented.
If the city picks the dates and bans all private cars from the roads during those dates... this is absolutely enforceable.
If they let people pick their own dates... not enforceable.
"This is our thinnest, fastest, most easy-to-use care yet!"
I am sure that Apple will claim that they invented the rounded, aerodynamic corners on cars as well...

It is about choice.
You choose to give your information (like your name) to someone. You have every expectation that the person will do evil with that information, but it is possible. That is a risk you knowingly take.
This is about the information that you never consented to give away in the first place.
Darn, and you only used the word "three" to only describe their sentences twice.
It's like rain on your wedding day
